HAIIKI FIIOM TIIIO TOMB. Couch Wood ru IT, whon nBkod by a Nobi'iiHkim roprosontntlvo iib to tlio relative Btrongth of tho two toams nnd tho prounblo result of tlio gamo had It boon llnlfilicd, had this to say: "Judging by tho actual playing la to-day'H gamo, I consider 'my team' i) puinis honor than iNolmiHuu. My nion did not got a chance to play In tho lli'Ht halt, Tho Nebraska men laid down at tho end of each piny and took out full throo minutes' ilmo, It tho roforco had dono tno right thing ho would havo given Kansas ton yaniB for this repealed unnecessary dolay. If tho gaino had boon played out 1 think tho score would havo been about S!G to 0 in favor of Kansas. My mon would havo been as fresh at tho cud of tlio second half as at tho llrst, while Nobraslm wiih dead on its foot. If KansaH could not havo won In tho llrst fifty minutes, she would have walked ovor Nebraska in tho last twenty. I 'As far as tho gamo Is concerned, It can only bo called no gamo, as tho , rules provide that two halves of thirty live minutes each shall bo played. As I tlmo wan called boforo that, it can ' only, bo no game. 1 olt'oml Manager : Oury to play another gamo In Omaha, ' with olllelals selected from Chicago, i but ho refused." When asked It ho wns not at least , nurm'lsed bv the stromr showlnir of . Nobraska, Mr. WoodrulT answered: "No, I was not. I know Just what to expect from .suhriiBnu. and had my men coached to moot overy play." Tho reader does not havo to bellovo this last statement of Coach Wood ruff's If ho was present nt tho gamo. Lnipiie KleiiiiiuiiH 'i should 0011 sldor It no gamo, because two full halves of thlrty-flvo minutes woro not played. Also because tho Nebraska players rofuscd to accopt any do clslon given by tho olllelals. On theso two points I should consider tho gamo off. "In regard to slugging, that is some thing I will not tolerate. I would rule n.y own brother olt tho Hold in an Instant if I thought ho was guilty of such an offense' Evidently Cowulll must bear a re markable resemblanco to tho brother of Klcinhaus. Captain Kennedy "I am greatly dissatisfied with tho result of tho gamo. All I ask is to play it over ngaln." AT HIS OLD HOME. The Old Hand Strlkos Up a Titno for James Whltcomb Ulloy. A WORD WITH THE WILEY WOODRUFF. If Nebraska defeats Kansas 10 to 5, by how largo a score would Nobraska defeat Ynlo; also Pennsylvania? If Nebraska had defeated Kansas 30 to 0, by how many points would you still havo claimed "my team" was superior to Nobraska? For tho beneflt of tho readers of Tho NebraBkan, please state tho tlmo and placo of the Kansas-Yalo gamo, tho Kansas-Pennsylvania gamo, and also tho game with tho Carlisle IndlanB. What do you consider the probable outcome oi eacn, since you piayeu Ne braska? It has been rumored that Kansas may not play Yale this year. Please send us a written denial above your signature in order that wo may brand this report as a malicious lie. Is it true, as one paper has stated, that as tho distance between tho No braska team and tho Kansas goal grow shorter your face grew longer in pro, portion? Assuming this to bo true, do you not think that at the end of tho second half, had it been played out, you would have stumbled over your chin? Ib it true, as you stated, that Kan sas had the Nebraska men "dead on their feet? If so, was it their ghosts that stalked through your lines, 100 yards for a touchdown? If you seek other than human con solation, wo will, In all kindness, re fer you to Proverbs xvi, 18; also Jere miah, xllx, 1G. AS TO ANOTHER GAME. Tho athletic board held a called meeting at 11 o'clock Friday morning and after duo consideration concluded that the Wesleynn game had to be postponel to Dec. 29. Tho matter of tho challenge of Kansas to another football game to be played In Kansas City was also considered. Although the Kansans had received Manager Oury's terms, they tried to ignore him by writing to our board to arrange a game. Tho conditions were practl ca'ly tho Bame as have been published: Divide receipts after expenses are paid, Nebraska taking $500 before Kansas receives anything, or Kansas will play for $500. Nebraska to take everything elso and pay the expenses, or Nebraska to take liO per cent of the net receipts. Owing to the unsatisfactory way tho game ended tho board did not seem very much opposed to a second game For tlio llrst tlmo in llfteon yoars James Whltcomb Riley, tlio "Hooolot poot," gavo a public reading from hlb published works In his native town. Ho appeared In tho Masonic hall bo foro an uudlonco that packed It to tho doors, lined tho stairway leading to it, and overflowed, filling the wings ot tho little Btago so that It bocamo nearly impossible- for those on tho pro gram to mako their exits and tholr entrances. Urccnilold had never be foro had such a turnout as that; never boforo had tho onthusluHiu over tho return of a Ureonllold citizen so miinl lested Itself. As tho "Hoosler poot" appeared upon tho street thero woro cries ot "Thero's Mr. Riley," but thoro woro many moro unaliected and Him plo greetings of "Howdy, Jim." It was a sight to bo remembered to boo Mr. Rlloy greoilng thoso old friends of his that know him in his bovhood: it was affecting to watch the old men trying to reconcile tho much ado niiulo over the famous poot of a simple peo ple with tho haruni-Hraruin "Jim" ihev remembered bo well. i "Why, I remember Jim when he list to run 'round without any shoes on," i said an old, be-whlskered citizen, as , ho noticed tho eagerness with which i the crowd pressed forward to shako tho poet's hand. Sm, thai sign over I there, over Hank's hard ware store? 1 ! can remember the time whon .I'm Riley painted that, salt! another, and theso remarks woro uttered In a tone of civa t surprise, as If the speakers could not understand the evolution from a country lad to a poet of tho people It was about i:.10 when the Pan Handlo train pulled into tho station. Ono could hardly seo tho station for tho great crowd gathered about it. Tho platform was a mass of pcoplo, young and old, and back of it tho erovtd extended clear out Into tho muddy streot. Tho men in a factory hard uy stopped work and looked out at Mr. Riley, and somo boys perched on top of tho sheds ot. tho railway station set up a cheer ns ho loft tho train. It was a happy, smiling crowd that gavo Mr. Rlloy his first wclcomo back to Greenfield. A dozen hands woro stretched forth to relievo him of tlio burden of his dress-suit case; old men and young pressed forward to get nearer to him, and tho "old band" struck up a tuno that may have been meant ior "Ha I to tho c h of." Tim moro fact of the presence of tho band at tho station to welcome the citizen gU03t was of itself a peculiar honor, for the band was lead by "Ike" Davis, who used to bo tho leader of "the old band," and whoso live brothers woro the mnln body of that now world famous organization. At 7:15 o'clock thoro was hardly standing room In tho hall, and at 7:30 u i;iuuu uvuiji uvuiiiiuio loot oi space was crowded. Extra chairs wero placed clear up to the line of the stage, tho band was put on tho stage, to gether with a part of tho audience, and the wings woro crowded with chairs, so that from tho audience thoro suemeu to oe an army or heads and arms hidden behind the mimic trees. Soon Mr. Rlloy made his appearance on tho stage. His faco was pale, his eyes bright, but outside of this ho betrayed no nervousness nt tho ordeal of having to appear In tho character of master or interpreter of nature to old gray-headed men and women that had known him when a boy. Stepping to tho footlights, ho said: "Ladles and Gentlemen: After an absenco of somo length and wander ings that have been devious, I am deeply touched by this cordial wel come to this placo of my birth. It will always be a dear old homo to me, bo cnuse It contains tho best, tho IHnilont and the most forbearing friends that I havo ever known or am likely to know." Tho poet then recited from his own works to tho Intense delight of all. Phi Kappa Psl Is talking of taking all tho boxes on one sldo of tho lower floor for tho Rlloy engagement Mon day night. They will decornto them with tho fraternity colors In honor of their distinguished brother, Mr. Rilev. Hob ho proceeds to forgot Bovoral boy "lid gin nffalrs at homo, by falling desperatoly In lovo with ills suporlor of Icor'sdaughtor.
