ry "1: ff, ' .-r?A' ,V"V THE HESPERIAN i t art had inquired about the method employed, it would have found that the class was doing just right boforo their valuable advico was tondoiod. The combined wisdom of the world is not all packed away in a little box on Ninth stroot botweon O and P. THIf GAME AT OMAHA. The third time was the charm. Wo lost the first league game to Missouri, the second to Kansas, but the third was the charm. Iowa was beaten and Nebraska won. Iowa, who beat Missouri and out-played Kansas. Towa, whom wo had never beaten boforo, has at last been swiped by our plucky cloven. It was not luck," either. Wo won by supe rior team work, by bettor tackling, and far better interference. To toll the truth, be fore tho teams lined up we hardly expected to run up such a score, considering the pre vious league records of tho two teams. But wo did it, and now will bo given . credit for having a foot ball team that can play foot ball. Some outsiders have been weak minded enough to say that wo could not boat uuless tho game was a slugging one, as was the Denver game, and to a certain extent the Baker game. Little or no slugging or "dirty" work was indulged in at tho Iowa game. Not a man was knocked out or" dis qualified. It was just 3:16 when Referee Wilson called play. Iowa won the toss, and as tho wind was blowing hard they decided to kick with it. Nebraska started the fun with the usual flying wedge for twenty yards. Little Yont, Flippin and Big Yont then advanced tho ball slowly but steadily toward Iowa's goal, the subs and their friends doing what they could by yelling to their fullest capacity. Wo got to Iowa's ten yard line when Frank fumbled. Myers, Tyrrell, Sawyer and HeBS did some good work, but Eliott was finally forced to punt to keep . us from getting tho ball on downs. Flippin tbon mude one of his usual good runs and got twenty yards. Yont thought it was time to show Iowa the kind of metal wo wore made of, so ho wont round loft end for thirty yards and scored a touch-down. To say that tho crowd wont wild is putting it mild indeed. Frank kicked a goal and Iowa's hopes wont down fifty dogroos lower than, tho temperature, which tho crowd thought was about as low as possible. Iowa started with flying wodgo, making twonty yards. Myers, Eliott, Hess and Al drich thon took turns carrying tho ball until it was within a foot of our goal. Thou how our boys did work, but Tyrrell pushed over for a touch-down. Rogers kicked goal, and the score was G to 6. But our boys had found out that they could win if they kept up playing as they had been doing. They started with tho wedge again, but only made ten yards. Flippin, tho Yonts, Whipple and Oury did most of tho work with tho ball and advanced it by end runs and bucking till Big Yout finally scored another touch-down. Frank missed an easy goal, making tho score stand 10 to 6 in favor of tho bug eaters. Iowa gained twenty-five yards before we could got tho ball. When we did get it, though, wo made gains that surprised the people. Little Yont made seventy-five yards before they jumped him. Oury and Flippin carried it for good gains. Little Yont made twenty more yards. Flippin started for a touch-down, but unluckily slipped and fell on tho ten yard line. Iowa soon got tho ball on downs, but failed to gain much, and tho first half ended with the ball in Iowa's hands. Score, Nebraska 10, Iowa 6. In tho second half Iowa made twenty five yards with the wedge, Myers and Hess did good work, but Myers fumbled after they had advanced tho ball about fifty yards, and Wilson got in good work by capturing it. Then Flip made three trials, making about ten yards a trial. Little Yont made ten yards but we soon had to punt. Iowa, how ever, soon lost tho ball. Oury made six, and Whipplo four yards. Then Big Yotit carried the ball to within a foot of the goal. Frank f nmbled and we ldst three' yarder, out xl
