Score, Nebraska 4; Denver 0. Denver took the ball and scored a touch down in a few minutes. Field missed goal. Much as the Rocky gentlemen deserved their name in the first half, in the second half they outdid themselves. Macon, a prize fighter of the bowery kind, commenced the slugging. This was the beginning of sorrows. Field slugged everyone within his reach; Frease slugged; Filmore slugged Flippin; Adams slugged Pace. Flippin and Yont looked about seeking whom they might devour. Flippin chewed Macon all up and laid the Denver men in little heaps. Everybody slugged. When any two of the spectators disagreed as to a point they left their seats and went down by the ropes and blacked each other eyes. Score: Denver 4, Nebraska 4. Umpire gave the game to Nebraska. The Game We Lost. Our first league game, played with Mis souri at Kansas City last Saturday, was a great surprise to the crowd of anxious stu dents who had gathered in university hall Saturday evening. The telegram stating that the score wan J.0 to 18 in Missouri's favor caused a hundred happy faces to change from an expression of joyful antici pation to one of doleful woe. The Nebraska team which had tied Baker and Denver in succession, had allowed itself to be defeated by the Missourians. The team was delayed in reuching Kansas City by a wrec'k near Podonia. They did not arrive till 5:00 a. m. and were all fagged out by their wuit of eight hours, during which time they should have been dreaming of victory. The Missouri team arrived early on Fri day evening so wojo in perfect condition for the game Saturday. Missouri's team was much lighter than ours but, as the outcome showed, more than made up for their lack of weight by their activity. During the first half our boys held their own and played a splendid game. The first touch down was made by Nebraska in ten minutes. Missouri followed with the second in just thirty minutes. Before time was called for the first half each team made another touch down. Score 12 to 12. At this stage of the game the effects of the previous night's hard travel began to show on Nebraska. Although we had the weight and power, we were unable to use it to good advantage. Missouri elated by her unexpected success in the first half, went at our line with redoubled vigor, but could not prevent us from scoring another touch down. The rememberancc of past defeats urged Missouri on to desperation and she succeded in making two more touch downs before the game was called, the score being Nebraska 18, Missouri 30. On the whole the boys played a good game. Had it not been for their fagged out condition, the score would undoubtedly have been reversed, with a much greater majority in our favor. LASTANNOUNCEMENT.
