Tlio details of how NobniHka won by
tlio close score of 13 to 10, lmvo been too
oft repeated, to need another recording,
but an outline of tlio ganio will bo in
teresting for rofojonoo.
Missouri winning tlio toss took the
Smith goal with tho wind which nut tlio
hhii right in the Nobraskun's faces.
hy Missouri did not kick more with
this advantage Is a mystery. Nebras
ka kicked off which gavo tlio Missouri
ans the first opportunity to hIiow their
advancing nmlitloH,but they fallod to
advance Tliey tried ouo end and then
the other and failing to gain at ollhor
they wore- forced to kick. From then
on and cspecialy at tho end of tho first
half Missouri Boomed to have tho ad
vantage on offensive. Hut tilings wore
different with tho advent of tho second.
-Hero Is where the'Mnclpiency begat i"-
Somo say that Nebraska won tho
game on a tl.tiko; but is not tho caso at
tl, Sho out played Missouri clear
Muough- Tho blocking of tho kick by
i horpe was anything but a lluko- It
was one of tho best playH that wo have
seen for many a day
An accurate accountof every play was
kept by tho Nebrnskan's man who was
inside the ropes and this shows that
Nebraska's team olcary.outplaycdtho
Missouriaus. Captain Young gave tho
signal for tlio ball to go forward just CO
times and it was advanced in those plays
just 202 yards. On the other uand
Nebraska made just 45 plays and ad
anced tho ball 222 yards which gives
the total in favor of Nebraska and also
the average for each play about three
fifths of a yard more per plunge. It
took Nebraska just sixteen plays to
carry tho ball eighty yards in the second
half for her touchdown which makes an
averago of just five yards for eacli play.
This, wo think allows that Missouri's
nefenuo must have weakened in tlio
second half because we wore forced to
kick three times in tho first to save the
hall from going over on downs. On tho
other hand our defense was good. As
Alee and Young wont into the lino
tinio and again without gain or with
only ono yard.
Conover made the most yardo for
Missouri, and is a good back. Wo do
not think that Missouri lost anything
by not having Shannon in tlio game,
because Conover ceitainly did remark
ably well and only failed to gain onco
uul then ho was downed with a loss.
Nebraska's lino surprised everyone
and very fow were tho gains which
.Missouri was able to make through it.
There is not a largo man on tlio team.
while all are about tho same sizo and
play low and hard. Missouri's 200
pounders were of no avail in opening
holes. Kansas lias big Ilamill tho
"hole-maker," but there are several
who remember how Hud Jones stood
him on his lioad and tossed him around
two years ago, and as the Jones of then
cannot bo compared with tho Jones of
today, wo do not fear much in that
quarter.
Hut to go back to th Missouri game.
Of couiho tho MlBsourians were sore
and "Pop" H1I33 wrathy, but what use.
As coach Thomas told thorn at tho be
ginning of tho second half, "Hoys, I'm
sorry, but you will have to take your
medicine in this half." A good pro
phecy? Well, I guess.
It is not always appropriations and
high priced coaches that win games.
It is the feeling that you have tho
hearty support of all, faculty and stu
dents, the feeling that you must win
fov Mioir sakos, that makes tho knocks
feel lighter, and spurs you on with re
nowed vigor. Nebraska could never
lmvo taken tho brace that she did In
tho second half without tills feeling.
How could she loose when John Dixon
and his two hundred followers had
coino clear to Omaha from Lincoln to
cheer and help celebrate tho victory.
Nebraska simply dallied with Mis
souri In the last half. With one more
minute she would have had another
touchdown.
HOW IT WA8 RBOBIVED,
Tho news of tho ganio reached tho
University at 0:10 p. in. Hut fow stu
donts weru present. The signal light
was hoisted and the hell rung. Imme
diately yells could bo heard in all di
rections. Crowds poured into the
grounds through ovory gate. Hy OHIO
nearly 200 had collected and yell after
yell was given. All lined up and
inarched in luck step to tho Chancell
or's residence. When tho crowd ui
rlvod there it had grown to Immense
proportions. Tho Chancellor made a
brief speech, which was punctuated by
frequent yells. Among other things
ho said was: "Missouri money has
been weighed against Nebraska grit
and has been found wanting. After a
yell for tho Chancellor and the team tho
crowd returned to thoUnlverslty bring
ing with them the old brass canon which
thoy found on tho way back. On the
campus tho pile f burning tar barrels
furnished light for tho crowds who
amused themselves witli yells and
ghost dances Later on tho crowd
again "took in" tlio Chancellor's house,
listened to another loyal speech by the
Chancellor, then repaired to tlio mid
night train to escort tlio Omaha visi
tors and the victorious team through
tho city. Sandwiched in with tho yells
all tho evening could bo hoard the
'chant" as a momher of ono of tlio
sororities called 'it -"Oh, my! Oh, my!
how we twisted .ho tiger's tail."
A LETTER FROM CRAWFORD.
Charles Thomas, our coach, received
a very interesting letter bolero tho
game from Frank Crawford in which
lie sent words of encouragement to the
whole team. Missouri, you know, lias
beaten our team for tho last two years
while Frank was coaching us, and he
was anxious to see them beaten. He
is coaching tho team at tho University
of Texas and writes that every ono in
that part of tho country expected Mis
souri to win. In closing he wi lies: "I
believe that you have the best team
and that you are going to win. You
all have my best lvgnrds and warmest
sympathy. Take example from Mis
souri and tight to tho bitter end. A
victory snatched from defeat is tlio
sweetest victory. Turn the tables on
the rascals and oblige and avenge.
Yours as of yore,
FllANK CUAWI'OItl).
Did Frank call tho turn?
Wo think yes.
NOTES ON THBQAMH.

Dixon's chorus and the bleachers did
not get along very well together.
Tho Heo copied tlio "Do do'1 song
which appeared in tho last Ncbraskau.
Tlio Omaha papers were too busy
with tho approaching election to give
the papor space to the ganio
Shuo acted as special correspondent
for tho Journal.
Tho Omaha University club made
about SHOO clear on tho game. It's too
bad wo did not have sand enough to
take the responsibility of the expenses
ourselves.
Many students who did not like to see
Nebraska get beat aro now very soro
because they staid at homo.
Tho city has a warm defender in
Shorty Turner. It is a shame that tho
city fathers do not havo a medal struck
for him for dofending tlio sidewalks
last Saturday evening.
S J. Coioy returned fiom Falls City
Saturday. Ho has been taking care of
his brother who is hotter.
Mr. John Green, who has been laid
up witli rheumatism, is out again.

PROFESSOR OALDWBLL'3 RECEPTION.
Tho Chancellor and faculty seem de
termined to make things pleasant for
the students this year. Nearly every
week soino one of the professors enter
tains his class or classes and tho Chan
cellor keeps "open hoitso" every Satur
day night, to all tho students.
Last Friday night Professor and
Mrs Caldwell throw.Qyju tholr lovely
homo to the members of the American
History class.
After tho reception Professor Cald
well entertained tho class with stories
of his foreign travels and by showing
views of tho many notable places ho
has visited. Ho also i elated in his in
imitable style so,iio of tho splendid
stories of when ho was a col lego boy,
way back in the eighties.
About 10 o'clock a dainty lunch of
ico cream and cakes was served, and
after some more social converse the
company dispersed.
SORORITIHS.
Tho now plan adopted by the girls'
fraternities of not pledging any now
members until a time mutually agreed
upon seems to have worked like a
charm, at any rate it resulted in quite
a few surprises to tho outside world.
When tlio sororities came into chapel
last Monday morning tho new girls
wearing Kappa Kappa Gania colors
wore Misses Leming, Houtz, Colson
and Lowe. Those wearing tho pink,
blue and bronze of tlio Delta Gamma
fraternity were Misses Parks, Slaugh
ter, Walton and Welch. It was not
noticed whether or not the Tri Deltas
had favored anyone, but Miss Robin
son had on the Pi HotaFhi colors.
Those aro all that were noticed, but
it is understood that thoro aro. other
invitations out to which answers have
not yet been received, so wo are pre
pared for now surprises later on.
kappa Alpha thbta.
Quito a littlo excitement was created
Monday by tlio report that tlio Kappa
Alpha Thotas had organized, but there
seems to have been no foundation for
tho rumor, as nothing dclluito lias as
yet been decided upon.
Tho alumni connected with the Uni
versity aro Mrs. Fling, Mrs. Ansloy,
Miss Hessio Tuttlo nnd Miss Annie
Barr. Those In tlio city aro Mrs. Dr.
Ladd, Mia. Charlo3 Burr, Missos Olive
Latta, Dona Loomis, Bertie Clark and
Miss Weston of Beatrice.
Kappa Alpha Thota is an excellent
fraternity, ranking second to none in
the east and wo would bo glad to see a
chapter organtzod horo. It Is to bo
hoped tho aluinni will decide in favor
of bringing back tho charter.

in Omaha this Friday evening.
I.ll'U'S UVKNING
Out on the ocean, dark and wide,
Floated a ship on the ebbing tide;
I stood on the shore and watched it glide
Nor knew I was alone.
The ship was old, yet staunch and true,
And ina.'iy a gale had it been through,
Yet I did not think as I watched the
crew
That I was left alone.
For the ship of my youth was this vessel
that sailed,
As the storms of life through the dark
ness wailed,
And I gazed at it long, till the vision
faded.
Then I turned from tho shore
alone.
My friends had gone to return no more,
But soon I shall sail from that wave
worn shore.
My bark shall go forth while the break
ers roar;
No more I'll be alone.
