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.
