NEBRASKA'S GAME WAD POOR Tin' 1'lnylng of tho UnlvorHlly Boys ling- jjt-ii ill Times Thoy Wont to Pieces ul 11 Critical Momuiit mill hut tho MothoillHtH Bnoro. AfKi tho llrst tun minutes of tho game uenv NobrnsKii and WoHloyun lit tho M Hired park Saturday, It would luivo been illllU'iill to toll JumI what tho nuturu of 1 In- Mport wiih. TIioho llrst ton minutes wen' all right. Thoy rimlly lusted twolvo minute, and during that ttmo Nobrnska scored a point a mlnuto. lint after Unit the Ktraln was too great mid hIio lot up. Just what Hclzcd tho boys nil of u sud den, no ono can toll. Thoy woro playing football, hut thoy found out Unit thoy did not luivo any ono to play against so thoy let up. It was about this ttmo that tho enemy began to rcallzo its prodtcamont. So there was a mutual and tacit under standing. Hut It rathor appalled tho pat riotic fow who wanted to sou how tho boyx lld up tho Missouri tlgors. It wax fun for awhile to sue Orllo Thorpe scoot down that Mold for about forty yards. Tlii'ii 1'ackard would go around the other slde.Yes all this was amusInK to tho grand stand. Hut when tho ball went In touch on the kick-off nnd was brough back to tho twonty-llvo yard lino and Nebraska with the bull In her hands scored u safety for Wesloyan In Just two plays then that grand stand thought uomothlng was the mutter. When loll two more plays and Wesloyan gets tho ball another and sho Iiiih scored a touchdown ugulnst tho In. vliii'lblo Indians. Hut then that was nil that Wesloyan did. They got eight points eight moro than any one "houghl thoj would got except tlicim-clvet Hut Captain's fhorpo's men are excusable". 'Thoy had no good and suf llrlent rounds for believing that thoy. were playing against a football team. And the game wont on. Wcslcynn put up u good punting game, whllo Nebraska wiih ehoik full of tricks. Thoy worked too on the unsophisticated. To tho No brnsknns, the gnmo was bonollclal in many respects. It added about sixty dol lars to tho treasury and made a strong practice game for tho team. Jt showed them that It takes Interest to win a game besides a llttlo hard work. The umpire was, Leo, captain of Donno team. umplro;C. F. Fisher of Donne, ref eree, laineron and Noblo of Wesloyan, linesmen. Tho lino up was: Wosleyan Nebraska Leonard luft und Melford Dumi loft tacklo Dungan Hoffman left guard Hanson Oleson-KIU'hlo.. quarter Thorpo Stoner center Kellar Carver left half Packard VnnDuzer (eapt.).. right half Shedd Ollhert-I.yle.... right guard Turner Thomas right tacklo Peurso llgenrrltz right end Wiggins H Fltehle full Cook-Cowgll Subsltutog f0P Wesloyan, Hull Konipor and Cunningham; for Nebraska, Bobbins, Cameron and Lowory. Wesleyan won tlio toss and took tho west goal. Tho gnmo sturted off with a forty-live yard kick by Shedd. Van Duzor caught the ball nnd kicked back past tho center and strnngo enough followed tho ball fast enough to tacklo Thorpo boforc ho had returned It moro than llvo yards. Hut this was play and not Nebraska's style of work, so they started at tho lino nnd with gains of from two to ton years, thoy advanced to a rolnt Just twolvo Inches from tho Methodists' touch lino. But there they stopped. Wcslcynn took a hand for a couplo of downs at tho lino work, but It was too much llko work for those gontlomen, so thoy punted. Nobrnska soon regained this lost ground ny tho most brilliant play of tholr careor, hero being a twenty-yard end run by Thorpe. Oleson mado a beautiful tacklo. But Packard procoeded around tho other end nnd crossed tho lino. Shedd kicked an easy goal. Scoro; Nobrnska 6 Wesloyan 0. After tho kick-oft Wiggins mado four yards nnd Cook sovon. Thon Hanson started through a hole In tho lino that Tio happoncd to notlco and preceded by a smllo that would have dono Hoagland credit, ho skated over six five-yard spaces. Hero ho concluded ho had dono onough and so, not seeing anyone to tacklo him, n Just luld down and laughed, ho was so Pleased. Wesloyan brnced up hero and took tho Ddl on downs, but for somo unknown reason Mr. Oleson was bo unwise as to run With the ball and the umpire said Nebras ka could have It awhile. Nebraska's glory did not Inst long, though, und the ball was the Methodists' again on downs. Right here some of tho prettiest tackling of the game was dona by Fllohlc. Ilo saved considerable ground for his team. A number of punts and lino plays now on either side brought the ball to a point within throo yards of Wesloynn's goal and Shedd took It over. Shedd kicked tho goal Just thirteen minutes since ho kicked the other one. Scoro; Nebraska 12, Wesloyan 0. score stood, Nobrnska 12 Wosloynn 8. To start tho good work Wosloyan's full back kicked the ball from tho contor clear over tho touch line. Packard got It and Nebraska went to tho twonty-llvo yard line for a scrimmage. Wiggins lost about ten yards and Thorpo gavo tho signal for u punt. Wesloyan blocked tho punt and although Nebraska saved tho ball, It was forced back over tho lino and Wesloyan had two points. Score; Nebraska 12, Wosloynn 2. Then there was Joy among tho dlsclp'es of John Wesloy. Tho boys hooted and yelled nnd those Junior girls didn't do a thing but wavo their colors and call tho playors by nnmo and cheer as If thoy enjoyed It. And suro enough tho boys do served tho prnlso for vorlly thoy wero playing good football. Tho ball wont again to tho twonty-llvo yard line, but Nobrnska had gono to pieces and couldn't play. Wosloynn was encouraged and played tho gamo und In ono, two, thrco order they wont to Nebraska's goal and Carver went over llko a shot. Ilglnfrltz kicked a vory dllllcult goal In beautiful shapo nnd tho Wesloyan scored no moro, either In tho remaining minutes of tho llrst or In the second half, but thoy held Nebraska down nnd between their accelerated spirits and Nebraska's don't-enro loose sort of playing, thoy hold their opponents down to ono moro touch down nnd goal. SECOND HALF. Tho second hnlf started at 4:20 o'clock. The ball changed hands but onco and Wes loyan by a criss-cross play carried it to within ii foot of tho Nobrnska touch line and about as near the side. Another down nnd thoy failed to advance, but car ried It over the side lino. Thoy carried It In and tried tho lino again but could not gain. Turner's great strength ciuno Into excellent service hero and nlded much In saving a touch down for the Mothodists. Nebraska took the ball on downs and gradually carried It back. A nice run by Wiggins was cut short by the crowd piled up close to the teams. Cowglll took Cook's place at full-back. Tho prettiest punt of tho gnmo was now mado by Thorpe. He kicked tho ball seventy yurds and being on tho llrst down fooled tho AVesloyun full-back, who did not got It till Nobrnska mon wero on him. Shedd made another touch down and kicked goal. This mado tho last scoring of the game. Score: Nebraska IS, Wesloyan 8. From now on tho gamo was nip and tuck, being played mostly In tho middle of tho Hold. A quarter kick was very success fully tried by Thorpo, gaining Nebraska tho ball and some ground. Shedd and Dun gan worked n successful criss-cross for llf teon yards. Wiggins and Shedd ench mado long end runs. Packard was started down tho Hold onco for a touch down but tho crowd got In his way and ho was brought down. For Wesloyan, Van Duzor nnd Carvor did somo nlco lino bucking nnd H. Fltohlo punted well. Tho tackling of Gilbert and Fltchlo stopped many Nobrnska advances. Timo wiih called at 5:14, with tho ball In Wesloynn's territory. Tho crowd had been taking a moro or loss Interested part In tho gamo all through and now tholr time enmo In dead earnest. It seems thoro had boon a mis understanding botweon the manugors an to who should have tho ball and so, when tho playing wns dono, ench sldo claimed it. Tho umpiro got It however and had tho best of Intontlons of sottllng the mat tor poaceably. But ho dld'nt. Tho crowd pushed from ull sides and In tho scrlm mago Nobrnska mon got tho ball By somo adroit passing, It got out of tho gate and Benedict, tho floot footed, sped up N streot with it under his wing. Tho crowd followed llko a stnmpeded hord of cattlo, yellow and Drown mixed with scar lot and cronm. The lattor was In tho maj. orlty, howovor, and thoy wont on tho run for tho university. On tho way tho ball turned up missing, but so did tho univer sity man, and as tho rest wont on with tho smllo of conildonco, tho supposition Is that Wesloyan will not kick that pig skin again, THE COLLEGE SETTLEMENT Committee Hands In Its Report to Board of Control.
