Then our boys lined up and gave Flippin the ball which he laid down over the goal line. This gave Nebraska 4. Then the ball was taken to the field and Oliver gave it a light tap with his toe and sent it spinning between the goal posts scoring two more. It only took ten minutes for Nebraska to score after she got pos session of the ball. Illinois now took the ball to the centre and made five yards with the wedge. Slater hit the line for two more then Sweeney struck the line but rebounded with a loss of two bucked for six apiece and time was called. At this rate we would have scored in four minutes more. When we played past the Illinois team was powerless. Illinois took her defeat hard. They had come to win, "so had we." Nor as some might sup pose, was it" luck," but at every point our team work outclassed their's. Their tackling was bet ter than ours.
