a brief series of articles an attempt
will be made to give the readers a
glimpse of what has taken place at
Nebraska in the field of sports.
Football Said Fool's Gam
In the autumn of 1883 football
made its entrance into Nebraska and
from that time to the present, it has
been the ambition of -every high
school student, every junior high
school student, aili even the grade
school students to be able to make a
berth on the Cornhusker teams. The
Sombrero of 1883 states it this way,

sports in this great dispensary of
knowledge! is football. This is pop
ular for several reasons. One is that
any fool can play it."
Bootball in its embryonic stasres
was a crude pastime in comparison to
the modern game of today. The main
object was to get the other team out
of the way, no matter how it was
done. Slugging, smashing, hitting,
holding, or any conceivable way was
legitimate in the game back in the
'80s. The charging line, as the line
was called would be hooked together
by means of each man holding on to
the man's belt next to him and form
ing a V would charge down the field
with the man carrying the ball in the
center.
No College Garnet At First
For several years Nebraska played
football but did not meet any college
or university teams. Inter-class
games and league games formed the
schedule of games at the Husker
school until 1890. The Western In
terstate Football Association was or
ganized on December 28, 1891 and
was the first inter-collegiate confer
ence Nebraska entered. The Inter
state league comprised the four
states of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri,
and Kansas, and it was in this confer
ence that the Husker teams first de-

monstrated their ability in the field
of sport
The first football game recorded in
history for Nebraska was played in
tho fall of 1890 between Omaha and
Nebraska. J. H. Johnston was cap
tain of the first Husker team and
with his little band of pigskin lug
gers journeyed to Omaha for the first
intercollegiate football game in the
histotry of the University. An im
portant fatt is this, the Cornhusker
team won its first football game that
it ever played when it took the Omaha
team into camp 10 to 0.
Doane College was the next team
on the schedule and it fell before the
initial Husker team in the same man
ner as the Omahans. The final
score of the second encounter was 18
to 0. Those were the only two inter
collegiate games recorded that year
and the next year the schedule was
increased to four games, the Ne
braska team winning two out of the
four.
Firat Conference Game Loit
Playing its first game in the new
conference, Nebraska went down to
defeat at the hands of the Iowa State
University eleven 22 to 0. But from
then on Nebraska owned the West
ern Interstate Football Association.
In 1892, the second year of the
league, Nebraska downed three of its
four opponents. The Kansas team
being the only eleven to defeat the
Huskers. In 1893 the Husker eleven
again showed its supremecy in foot
ball, winning from Iowa University
20 to 18, from Missouri 18 to 13 and
losing to Kansas 18 to 0. From 1891
until 1897 Nebraska was a member
of the league. In 1897 Iowa with
drew and Nebraska played but two
games, winning both. The Missouri
eleven fell before the Huskers 42 to
0 and the Kansas Jayhawkers 10 to 5.
But football was not the only sport
at Nebraska in the early days. Base
ball found ar important place in the

heart of Nebraska athletes and the
first known baseball team was in
1884. It wa n this year that the
first University baseball club was or
ganized. Three nines were organized
and games were played with teams
only on the campus. The University
of Nebraska bicycle club was another
important feature in the sport line
in the ppenir.g days. TWb club was
organized on May 2", 1884 ana the
charter members were W. E. Hardy,
W. O. Jones, H. E. Grimn and J. H.
Mockett.
Bicycle Club Formed
The bicycle club was one of the
most popular clubs on the Nebraska
campus and the sport was on of the
greatest. S. A. Avery, chancellor of
the University was one of the ardent
followers of the wheel and many an
afternoon he and Mrs. Avery would
take rides on the peculiar looking
bicycles of that day. Louise Pound,
professor of English in the University
was the champion bicycle rider of the
'80s.
In the autmn of 1898 the Huskers
again showed their strength on the
football field by winning the two
games that they played. Missouri
was the first victim of the Nebrask
ans and the Tigers went backlo Co
lumbia with the short end of the 47
to 6 score. The ' Cornhuskers jubi
lant over their large victory took a
road trip to Kansas the home cf the
Jayhawker, and the bitter rival of
Nebraska since the starting of inter
collegiate games. Again at Kansas
the Nebraska team piled up 18 points
to the 6 of the Kansas eleven
As the years rolled by the Ne
braska school kept putting better
football teams on the gridiron and
each year showed an increase of vic
tories over the previous year. In
1897 the Husker eleven captained by
G. C. Shedd went through a victorious
season losing but one game, to Ames.
The next year the '98 team was be
fronted with the largest schedule in
the history of the school. W. C.

that year and ten times he led his

mates into battle emerging from the
fire seven times with victory.
The victorious year of 1898 fonnd
the following of the great collegiate
pasttime increasing and the stands at
Nebraska had to be enlarged to care
for the large crowds that would pack
the Nebraska field for football games.
The HuBkers opened the season with
a win over the Missouri Tigers by
the same score as the year before, 47
to 6. Tho next team to fall before
thd onslaught of the Husker eleven
was Kansas then Ames, Denver
Athletic Club, University of Colo
rado and Tarkio. The first defeat of
the season came at the hands of the
William-Jewell team and tho last two
games of the season were dropped
to Drake and the University of Iowa.
By 1899 Nebraska had come to the
front in athletics and sponsored a
track team, basketball, baseball, and
many minor sports. In 1897 four
teen opposing baseball nines appeared
on the Husker schedule, of which the
Nebraska team won 7 and tied one.
E. N. Robinson was the athletic coach
that year and turned out a baseball
team that trimmed Kansas University
in two games, Drake, University of
Iowa, and tied the University of Chi
cago. Notre Dame, Northwestern,
and Illinois were the teams to beat
the Nebraska nine. Again in 1898
an exceptional nine was put on the
Cornhusker diamond. Ten games
were played, six won and four lost.
The Kansas Aggies appeared on the
Nebraska schedule for the first time
in history and in a lop-sided game
the Huskers succeeded in trimming
the Kansas farmers 33 to 3.
