THE DAILY NEBRASKA!?
THREE HIGH SPOTS IN
1916 FOOTBALL SEASON
OREGON TRIP, DEFEAT BY KAN
SAS, IOWA GAME NOTABLE
Team Showed Itself as a Fighting
Machine Before Oregon Aggiea
and Iowa University
Three high spots stand out In the
1916 football season being finished to
day by the Nebraska University team.
The first is the Oregon trip, when
the Cornhuskers made a jaunt of
4,000 miles, in- the course of which
they decisively defeated the Oregon
Agricultural college team.
The second is the defeat at the
hands of Kansas, that upset all the
"dope." It was the first Jayhawk vic
tory since 1909.
The third was the notable come
back staged by the team at Iowa
City, when it slashed through the
Hawkeyes for a decisive 34 to 17 vic
tory, and by so doing established the
first claim to the Missouri valley title
Nebraska's seventh in succession.
The Oregon Trip
The Oregon trip is described else
where in these columns. The game
resulted in a cean-cut victory for Ne
braska by the score of 17 to 7, the
Aggies making their score on a fumble
after Caley of Nebraska had crossed
the Oregon goal for a Nebraska touch
down. The ball popped into the hands
of Conn, a speedy Oregon back, and
he had a clear field for the touch
down. The Kansas game caused more Joy
In Lawrence and more gloom in Lin
coln than any event within the ken of
present students of the University and
recent grads.
Nebraska had romped along in the
valley games, overwhelming Drake in
the first encounter of the year, defeat
ing the Kansas Aggies by two touch
downs to none, and gaining a victory
over the Iowa State Aggies from Ames
by the small but sufficient score of 3 to
0. Only Kansas remained in the path
of the team's triumphant march to a
seventh successive Missouri valley
title.
The Dope on Kansas
Kansas had met Ames, and been
vanquished. It had met the Kansas
Aggies, and the two elevens fought to
a scoreless battle. Nebraska rooters
were confident of victory, and yet Kan
sas came to Lincoln in a special train,
playing for all it was worth their
hunch that the tide had turned and
Nebraska was due to lose.
The first half of the game did not
cause Nebraska to worry. The Husk
ers worked smoothly, played conserva
tively, had the ball in Kansas territory
all of the time, and seemed safe win
ners.
Captain Corey booted a faultless
place kick from the forty yard line,
Cook holding the ball, and with the
margin of three points Nebraska didn't
push the contest.
Keen observers might have noticed
something peculiar in the Kansas at
tack, however and that was that
there was none.
Coach Olcott's men did not attempt
a scrimmage in the first half. When
ever the ball came into their posses
sion, it was turned over to Lindsay,
who promptly booted out of danger.
Kansas merely played It safe, and was
able to stiffen up sufficiently to pre
vent Nebraska scoring at all.
Kansas In Different Light
The third period revealed a different
Kansas team. Coach Olcott's superior
strategy became apparent. The Jay
hawk showed its teeth.
Kansas opened up a series of plays
built especially for the occasion, for
no scout had seen them in operation
before. "Jick" Fast, a whirlwind on
offensive running, but not a strong
defensive player, was sent in. He
gained around either end. Nielsen and
"Woodward bucked the line for gains.
Nebraska, taken off her guard, was
bewildered and powerless. Before the
team or the spectators could realize it,
Kansas had pushed over Nielson for
a touchdown, and taken the lead in
the game. Tae goal was kicked, and
the Jayhawk rooters and football
team, "went wild."
The score made, Olcott shifted his
team to the old conservative style of
play It had followed during the first
halt Kansas played it safe. Ne
braska battled in desperation to score,
but Kansas had Just that extra re
serve strength and extra confidence
from being in the lead that enabled
her to hold the Huskers back.
In the last period Nebraska tried
pass after pass, but the efforts seemed
puny. They fell to the ground or
were knocked down by Kansas. Ne
braska was beaten for the first time in
seven years by a conference team.
The Kansas game seemed to put the
fight into Nebraska that had been
lacking all season, and the Hawkeyes,
betting confidently on a victory,
scratched the Cornhusker to find the
Tartar.
The Iowa Game
The Iowa game opened full of prom
ise for Cc&Cu wOnes' toctui, which
rolled up ten points while the home
coming crowd at Iowa City cheered
and cheered.
Then the turn in the tide came,
and Nebraska, by consistent battering
through the line, a good end run or
two, some successful forward passing,
and fight, went ahead in the scoring,
and took a lead that was not overcome
during the game.
The Nebraska eleven was invincible.
The line tore open the opposing for
wards, and the back field slammed
through. Hugo Otoupalik scored four
touchdowns and covered himself with
the Individual glory in a game where
every Nebraska man showed what he
could do with the proper spirit behind
him and in him. Nebraska came back
from Iowa City, victors by the score
of 34 to 17, and with a clear claim to
the valley title if a championship is
worth much when a defeat has been
suffered.
The Amet Aggies
The Ames Aggies gave the Corn
huskers a real scare, and far more
Justly deserved to win than did the
Kansans a week later, when they were
barely defeated by the score of 3 to 0.
The Iowans showed a well balanced
line and a dashing backfield.
From beginning to end the game
was hard fought with neither team
able to get within scoring distance
except when Captain Corey kicked a
field goal from the twenty-yard line in
the second quarter.
The game early resolved itself into
a punting duel between Dobson of Ne
braska and Sloss of Ames, both of
whom performed brilliantly in this
department of the game.
This battle wtih Ames, more than
any other one game, served to show
the rooters that the Cornhuskers were
not as invincible as Ihey had been In
previous years.
Kansas Aggie Game
Kansas Agricultural college, with
its supposedly strong team, failed to
spring any of the promised surprises
and was easily defeated by a score of
14 to 0.
Nebraska's first touchdown in this
game came as the result of a fumble,
which Riddell scooped up and carried
55 yards for the score. The second
came from straight football with a 15
yard forward pass sandwiched in.
The Aggies were not troublesome at
any time, their particular star, Ran
dalls, being repeatedly thrown for
losses.
Wesleyan was taken on as a side
issue between the Oregon game and
the Ames game. However the Metho
dists proved very troublesome and
would not succumb to a decided defeat
until the Cornhuskers opened up in
the last quarter.
Nebraska had scored early in the
first quarter on straight football but
from that time to the end of the game
the Coyotes put up stiff opposition and
were only subdued at the end when
the Cornhuskers shoved over two
touchdowns in rapid succession. For
ward Tasses from Cook to Otoupalik
finally accounted for both of the
scores.
Drake Opened Season
The 1916 season was opened on
October 7 with the Drake "Bulldogs"
as opponents. Although touted as
having a strong team the boys from
Des Moines failed to show anything
when opposed to the Cornhuskers and
were snowed under by the top-heavy
score of 53 to 0.
The entire Nebraska team played
consistent ball and .although the
coach declared that they should have
won the game by only one touchdown
the rooters were very well satisfied
with the team's initial showing.
