THE NEBRASKAN. Vol,. VI No. 0. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, OCT. 32, 1807. PltKJK 5 ClCNTH. NOT ALLOWED TO SCORE Tho Tnrkio Team Not Ablo to Go Through Nebraska's Line. DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TRICKS Varsity Men Show Un Fairly Well Grounds In Such a Shnpo as to Provonl Good Playing Tho Details. After wnltlng two dny8 for tho rnln tn stop and tl groundB to dry up, tho NebrnsUa-Tnrltlo gnmo wns played on a muddy Hold last Monday afternoon, aml resulted In a victory for Ne braska by a Bcoro of 10 to 0. This was tho first gamo plnyod on the homo grounds this year and tho University team sliowed up fairly well. How ever, Conch Robinson would have been bettor pleased If tho Bcoro rolled up against Tnrkio hnd boon just twlco as large. Hut tho fact that it was not may be partially ascribed to the muddy condition of tho KroundB and also to the fact that only twenty-minute halves were played. The game wns hard fought through out, but after tho first halt It was not dllllcult to see Hint Nebraska would win. During tho first hnlf Nebraska was somewhat weak on defensive work, while tho Tnrkio team contin ually want through the line. In tho second half, however, Nebraska took a brace, and Tarklo had tho ball scarcely any of tho time. A change In tactics was also adopted with good results. Instead of hitting Tarklo's heavy line, end runs wero resorted to anil largo gains wero made. Both teams had great difficulty in getting started on account of tho mud. Schwartz's playhig at half back was "o"f ft hifch 6'riKji'wKo fulowed- hi in terference well, which, together with his natural speed, was responsible for the long runs which ho mndo. Shedd played full back, a new position for him, but ho filled it with credit. Whenever a touchdown wnB needed ho could always be relied upon to carry the ball over the line. Herbert, the new center, showed up well. Cowglll played n good gamo at quarter, tilling his position without a fumble. Tnrkio played a plucky game, but did not have a sufficient variety of plays and tricks. They kept bucking away at Nebraska's lino, and whilo in the first hnlf these tactics seemed likely to succeed, thoy availed them nothing In tho latter half. The management is deserving of great credit for tho arrangements which were made under such dllllcult conditions. On account of tho rain it was impossible to do any work on the field till Monday morning, but the posts were set, tho canvas fence put up and the grandstand completed be fore the game began. Almoso 500 people saw tho gamo, and they wero one of tho best behaved crowds which ever attended a foot ball game They kept back of tho wires and gave tho plnyers plenty of room. Before tho big gamo tho second Uni versity eleven played the Lincoln High School boys and wore defeated by a score of G to 0. Following Is tho line-up of tho big teams. Tarklo. U. of N.

Schwnrtz went around the left end for twonty yards, and Williams advanced it one more. Cow 6111 then tried a quarterback kick, eglns caught tho ball and gained tei yards. Schwartz hit tho center twlco without advancing tho hnll. Tho quarterback kick was thou tried and netted ton yards, but Tarklo got tho ball. Tarklo hit tho contor twlco for u gain of two yardB each time. Thou NobYnskn hold them for tho next down nnd took tho bnll. Turner took tho hall and rolled over twlco his length, advancing tho bnll flvo yardB. Will lams skirted around tho right end for llfteon yards, and then through tho contor for two more. Schwartz pasaed two more chalk lines nnd Shedd bucked tho contor for four ynrds. Tho ball was now within throo yards of Tarklo's goal. Tho ball waB again given to Shedd.

Hie visitors then made one more yard through tho lino, which seemed unable to withstand their liercc rushes. Hnll failed to gain, but Finney wont through for flvo yardB. In two more downs Tarklo advanced the bail to Nebraska's fifteen yard lino. In two more trials tho ball wns brought to our ten yard lino. Things now lqokcd dubious for Nebraska, and it seeded as though Tarklo would tie the score. ButNebraska braced up at thlB crit ical moment and took tho ball. Will iams went through tackle for three yards, Cowglll kicked for thirty moro and McKlm brought It back ten ynrds. McNnry bucked tho center, but failed to gain. Tarklo then mndo one yard through center, when tlmo for tho first half was called. Score, Nebraska G. Tarklo 0. During tho Intermission Robinson took hlB men up to the north end of tho field and proceeded to give them some good advice. He told them to stop bucking Tarklo's heavy line, but to play around tho ends. He said tho boys wero too slow in getting started and they should play three times as snappy. Ho concluded by telling tho boys thnt If they did tho right thing they would make three or four more touchdowns. Tho result of Robby's little talk was soon evident in Ne braska's play In the second half, espe cially as regards end plays. In tho second half Cowglll kicked off thirty ynrds and Finney brought It back ten, being finely tackled by Stringer. Tnrkio then advanced the ball two yards. On the next play Tarklo misunderstood tho signals nnd left quarter back McKlm holding the ball. In tho scrimmngo that followed McKim, in endeavoring to pass tho ball, throw It right Into Turner's ca pacious hands, nnd thnt youth, al though at first too surprised to run, finally recovered his senses and tripped lightly down tho field for u touchdown. Again the rooters rooted, hut the referee had blown his whistle before Turner got possession of tho bnll, which makes tho ball officially down, although In reality It was not. But Nebraska had her eyo on an other touchdown nnd no referee's de cision could prevent It. Williams went around tho right end for fifteen yards, Schwartz wont around tho other end for twenty moro, and almost suc ceeded In Jumping clear over tho last man who blocked his path. As It wns, ho was only caught by tha heels and tho touchdown was delayed a few min utes longer. Ton yards now lay be tween Nebraska and tho coveted goal. Shedd advanced tho ball four ynrds, Schwartz threo and Shedd two moro. Shedd then carried tho ball over tho remaining six Inches afttr eight min utes play. Shedd kicked goal. Score, Nebraska 2. Tarklo 0. (Continued on Fourth Pago.) THE FRESH-SOPH FIELD DAY Two Men From Each Class for Each Event to be Chosen. THE ENTRIES ARE NW OPEN Men aro Working Hard for Representation Conlcsl Will bo Hold Noxl Friday on tho Campus. The fres'jiii m-sophomorc class Hold contest will bo held on the campus Friday afternoon, October 2!). Tho contest promises to bo n success In every respect. Thoro will be In nil twolvo events, of which five will bo track events con sisting of 100 ynrds, 220 yards, U0 yards SS0 yardB and mile run. Tin other events will be running high Jump, running broad Jump, shot put, hammor throw, pole vault, base ball throw and foot bnll kick. Each class will bo allowed to enter two men In each event, and it will hustle some of tho men to get to he a representative of their class. In this way each ovoiU Is filled with tho four best mon of tho two classes. Many or last year's men who were represented In the lntnrcolleginto field day contest will bo representatives ot tho sophoinoro class. The freshmen have men who, It Is said by those who are acquainted with some of them per sonally, hold recordB that aio better than those made by University niuii last year. One freshman, who is out' training In the training class, is able! to jump threo Inches higher than the' University record. Thia means that! tho sophs will have either to do better or give the University record to the' freshmen. It also means a better rec- ord for tho University. Among those who are training and will undoubtedly enter the contest are: J. A. Kellogg, J. F. Mills, Ray Warner, P. A. Pepoon, C. J. Allen, C. L. Allen, B. M. Losele, Benedict, Andrcson, Plllsbury Jewltt, Watermann, Hill, Clinton, Swallow and M. S. Moon. Others will undoubt edly nppear in time to enter. Entries of freshmen must bo handed ' in to their manager, Swallow. Tho sophomores must hand In enterics to Licbman. All contestants must be out for practice four days preceding tho contest. The athletic board have rec ommended that an entrance fee bo ennrged. This is thought to be the easiest way of raising the expenses of the meet and pay their share towards tho expense of grading tho athletic field. The contestants lmvo offered to pay an entry fee and give the public free admission. This was considered by tho board, but it felt that It would bo better to recommend a gate fee. Dr. Hnstings hns been working very hard on the men In training and or ganizing the men for work. Tho men have shown much interest in tho con test, but fail to report their progress In each class. Tho contest will bo a success, but many of tho members of the management have relied too much on tho project to push Itself. The nthletlcs or" the University for tho coming year depend largely on this first meet. Correspondence Is be ing carried on with Doane college and material will be taken largely from the two classes for training. The two classes will, it is expected, turn out nnd support their representatives In tho same way tho students support tho foot ball team. CLASS T13AMS. This year class foot ball games will bo played under tho rules of tho Intor class Athlotlc association, which aro now in process of adoption. The Uni versity has long folt the need of just such an association, and tho prime movers In tho matter are to be com mended for tho efforts thoy have put forth. Its constitution provides for a president vice-president and a secre tnry. Besides this thoro 1b to bo nn athletic board, consisting of ono mom bor from each class and tho president of tho association, all elected by the respective classes. Tho work of tho board is tho most Important In that it lins to do with scheduling games and determining who has tho right to play on tho various teams. Next week and tho week after this tho University will be treated to n now artlclo of foot ball, a kind thnt will Interest and enthuso to nn alarming extont. Tho features will bo long runs, stubborn resistance, awkward per formances and distant goal kicking. Thoso will ho divided up between tho various classes, tho seniors coming In for their full share of the long runs and distant goal kicking, aB Is ovldont from tho line-up. White, center; Farout, right guard; Cushmnn, left guard; Campbell, right tackle; Mueller, left tncklo; True, right ond; Pearson, lert end; Hnl sload, full back; Uleon, right hnlf; Klndlor, left hnlf; Morrison, quarter. Foot hall among tho juniors is nour ishing at present. Thursday about twonty mot ns candidates for tho tenm. It took much individual work by n few to raise the present enthusiasm, but tho prospects are that a good team will bo organized, which will bo strong in quick, snappy playing rather than weight. A schedule ot games will in adopted Friday by tho Interclass As sociation. Tho candidates are: Guards, Gnr ingor and Warner; tackles, Patch and Honglnnd; contor, Wise and Ayor; ends, Hunting, Christy and Hoecker; quarter, Wntkins; halves. Lytol, Strock, Shuff, Clark; full back. Hasty. The sophmorc team Is organized and doing some practicing. While there is plenty of material in the class, the class constantly loses players that are filling places on tho first team. Tho class has purchased a ball for tho team and men will get down to good work. Among those who nro trying for places and who stand n good show for positions nre: Moon, Gordon, Lumnr, Reeder, Hummel, Griffith, Herbert, Liebninn, Collett.Woodrurf, Ploughead, Watermann and Rynns. Other good material will be given a chnnco as subs. Little has been done by tho fresh men In the way of a class team thus far. The organization of a team lias been delayed by tho lack of a mana ger. As yet there has been no prac tice, but as soon ns a manager is elected tho freshmen hope to get in running order. Although they aro late in getting started, they promise to make a hot fight for the class cham pionship, as there Is plenty of good material in tho freshmen class to mako several teams if It Is only brought out.

ITS WESLEYAN TOMORROW Methodists Will See What They Can Do With tho State. EXPECT TO MAKE GOOD SHOWING Confident ol Kooplng Down tho Varsity's Scoro, and Think ol Scoring Thomsolvos Tho Llno-up. The game which decides the state chnmplonshlp will ho plnyod Saturday, tomorrow, afternoon between tho Uni versity olovon and tho Wcsloyan tenm. This will bo ono of the best and most Interesting gnines of tho season thus far. Whilo It Is not a league game, It will servo to take tho place of tho annual game with Donne eol'ege, which nlwnys aroused tho greatest en thusiasm. For tho past two years Wcsloyan has had her eyo on the Btato championship and this year she thinks she Is fully capable of turning the trick at our ex pense Those who nro Intending to stny nwny from the game, lnboring under tho delusion that Wcsloyan will prove "easy," nro making a groat mis take. To show how Wcsloyan hns Im proved since last year It is only neces sary to state that last year Wcsloyan was defeated by Tarklo by tho ridic ulous scoro of 58 to 0, while last Tues day Wcsloyan turned tho tables on their former conquerors to tho tunc of G to 0. Every olTort will bo put forth by Wcsloyan to win this game above all others. Her eleven has been carefully coached by Charlie Thomas, who aeted In the same capacity for this Univer sity in 1895. Crawford, who coached Wcsloyan last year, camo down from Omnha Inst week for tho purposo of aiding Thomas In his efforts to put the Wesleynn team In shape to defeat the University. Under any circumstances, Nebraska will have to play good foot ball to win. The University team is in bet ter shape than ever and tho experience gained in the Tnrkio game added to tho benefits of a week's bard practice, will make it hard to beat. However, our team is not fillod with over-confidence, ns the boys realize what thoy have to do in order to win. In addition to the regular game, tho second olevens of each university will lino up against each other for twenty minute hnlves. This will precede tho big game. A largo delegation will bo down from Weslcyan to cheer that team, and our students should see to it that the Unlver8ltv team dees not suffer from want of vocal backing at least. The grounds, after tho soaking thoy received Inst week, nro In tho best pos sible condition nnd accomodations for biruillng a largo crowd will be even better than Inst week.
