HOW WE BLACKED
THE TIGER'S EYE
Missouri Goes Down in an Over
whelming Defeat.
LARGE SCORE WAS A SURPR.BE
Nebraska Confidonl of Winning bin by Not
so Largo a Majority Details ol How
it Was Done.
Nobraslm fittingly celebrated tho bo
ginning of her chase for tho pennant
last Saturdny nftornoon In tho pres
enco of 1,600 people by rolling up
against the Missouri Tigers tho lnrgoat
scoro "or inatlo by tills Univorstty
against any opposing team. Forty
one to nothing tolls tho story of tho
overwhelming defeat administered to
tho Mlssourluns. Thoy wero simply
easy, being outweighed and outplayed.
Nebraslsn took tho ball when and
where she pleased and after the llrst
touchdown It was only a question of
how large tho scoro would bo. Ne
braska's goal was never In danger,
thirty yards being tho closest distance
which the Tigers wore allowed to ap
proach the coveted lino.
Nebraska had the visitors guessing
from the stnrt. Tho sarao formation
was used for a half a dozen entirely
different plays and thoy never knew
where to expect tho ball, and when
they had located It it was generally
behind the goal posts.
The playing of Missouri was slow,
their backs being often downed be
hind the lino. Nebraska, on tho other
hand, played swift, snappy ball and
the interference was almost porfect.
.-Hayrard, Hancen, Tu.iwr, -and Taarco
opened up holes In tho Tiger's line
large enough to drive a wagon through.
Melford at center played n splendid
game for a man who has not boon out
to practice more than a couple of
times this yenr, and tho visitors made
few gains through his position.
Benedict played a wonderful game
at left half and went through tho op
posing line ns if he lind played half
back all his life. Montgomery played
well at right half, but ho ran his head
Into the ground and received a kick
In the head from one of the Tigers
early in the game and was forced to
retire. Williams, who took his place,
responded with large gains every time
he was called upon to carry the ball.
As for Shedd, ho simply plowed
through the Tigers und tore up their
line whenever ho was so disposed.
Time and again Missouri tried to go
around Nebraska's ends, but Wiggins
and Stringer were alwnys on hand,
and often stopped them before they
had really started. Cowglll repeated
his brilliant performance of tho previ
ous week by kicking n goal from the
thirty-yard line. This, however, was
offBet b errors which, In an ordinary
same, might havo lost the game to Ne
braska Three times the Tigers punted
'or twenty or thirty yards, and three
times Cowglll, with nn open chance to
catch the bail, dropped It and a Mis
souri man got It.
For Missouri Howard at center, Har
ris at right end, and Cramer at loft
tacklo played the best game. Tho
rest of tho Tigers played In a HbUosb
sort of way and wore woefully slow
ln starting their lnterforonco. They
tried several tricks, but with one ex
ception thoy failed. Once, on tho old
criss-cross, thoy made a gain of twen-ty-nvo
yards, which was tho only run
of any length which was made by tho
visitors.
Tho weather was porfect and tho
fleld could not havo beon in bettor con
dition. Seldom has there been so
m"ch foot ball enthusiasm displayed
aa tllero was that afternoon. Five
squads of boys yelled themselves
hoarse, and spoaklng trumpets and
Cow bolls woro there In great profu
sion. Everybody woro colora tho

GAME WITH THE JAYHAWKS
"How Will it Result 7" the Question
of the Day.
RESULT DECIDES THE PENNANT
Dolcal ol Iowa by Kansas Has Frlghtonod No
braska-Mon Working Hard to Gol
In Condlllon Tho Outlook.
To say that great Interest has been
aroused In tho coming gnmo with Kan
sas would only bo stating half the
truth. The Interest In this gamo Is
Intonse. Everywhere Is henrd the
questions, "What is Kansas going to
do to us?" and "Do you think we can
score on Kansus?" All this Ih nron.
stoned by the overwhelming defeat ad
ministered by Kansas to Iowa last
Saturday. Thero Is no doubt about It,
KansnH has scared us. But Nebraska
lias no Intention of quietly submitting.
Such events as the Kansas-Iown gnmo
will only stimulate our mon to greater
efforts. No matter what happens,
Knnsns will havo to play the gamo of
her life and the followers of Nobrnska
mny rest assured thnt thoro will bo no
5G to 0 scoro mnde agninst us, ns thoro
was against Iowa. Kansns made al
most all of.Jier gains around Iowa's
ends, but Nobrnska rooters have a
sneaking idea that Wiggins and
Stringer will havo something to say
about Kansas making end runs.
Thero will be no big game tomorrow.
Manager Oury and Coach RoblnBon
have decided to allow the men plenty
of time to recover from the effects of
tho Missouri gnmo and there will be
no gnmo between now nnd the Kansas
game. All the energies of the team
will be concentrated to win that game.
There is a general feeling that the
Kansas game decides who wins tho
ponant, as neither Iowa or Missouri
can hope for first place with the largo
scores which have beon rolled up
against them. From now on tho cry
will bo "Anything to beat Kansas!"
Meanwhile Kansas will spare no ef
forts to down Nebraska. The Missouri
game will not bo calculated to Inspire
Kansas with over-confidence. Before
that game Nebraska was not consid
ered In tho race to nny extent by either
Kansas or Missouri. Tho poor show
ing of Nebraska against Tarklo and
Wesloyan was considered by other
teams as Indicating a very weak team
for Nebraska this year. Tho result of
last Saturday's game, however, has
changed all this, and now we aro
strictly In it.
Mr. Plntt, the veteran Kansas player
who refereed last Saturday's game,
Bald In regard to Nebraska's playing:
"The first part of that game was the
fastest foot ball 1 havo ever seen
played In the west. I was greatly sur
prised at the showing of the Nebraska
team, and I think that wn the fastest
foot ball the team ever played. In
regard to the KansaB game, I consider
It n toss-up as to who will win."
With a pleasant day, tho large crowd
of last week will bo almost doubled at
tho Knnsns game, and tho outcome will
decide who are "champions of tho
west," which proud title Kansas al
ready claims for her team In flaring
headlines ln tho paper of that univer
sity. If a largo crowd of rooters will
come out again they will aid a great
deal toward doing "Anything to boat
Kansas," thnt Is, using every honor
able means to aid ln tho victory of tin
homo team. Thoro will bo no rowdy
Ism, ns at tho Iowa-MIssourl gamo last
year, but tho Kansas players will bo
treated like gentlemen, although Ne
braska will strain every nerve to beat
them.
The senior caps nnd canes aro al
ready here. This Is a wonderful move
that tho brainy seniors got on them
selves. Thoy have outdone all pre
decessors In deciding upon and secur
ing what thoy want. Tho gllrs nro
still stowing about what thoy like best.
Thoy promise to decide by commencement.
