ttt o 8 THE HE made a game fight. They lost; but so did the light brigade. Following is the way the teaMis lined up: Doan. Position. U.ofN. Houston 1. e Fair Anderson 1. t Dury Lee 1. j Wilson Fisher p Hemming Owen r. g Smith Reasoner r . t Dern, capt. Kenagy r. e Wiggins Leavitt q. b Crawford Fees ". ..1. h Flippin Mains, capt r. h Yont Fuller f. b Frank In the second half Frank rebroke his finger, which was just knitting, and Hayward played in his place. There was not much oppor tunity to distinguish himself, but we want to remark that Billy Hayward has the material that makes foot ball players. Here is the story: Nebraska kicked off for 150 yards. Doane came back five only before its man rolled in the dust. Then they worked steadily five, twelve, five, back to three, five, three-,-was the order of their game. Then Nebraska braced up. Two times Doane threw herself against the boys, but the' met a wall and they handed over the leather. Then Frank had to punt; after two trials with the wedge. Then again the ball was stationary till Doane punted for 45. No gain for Nebraska in the next three attempts. Then Crete moved up again, six yards and then a run of eleven. Here the ball was for a moment lost. While there was a pile in the centre, it had moved, Crete was once more on the go three, three, two, five. Then Freese fumbled. The U. of N. horns now blew loudly. We were now going toward their goal, and it did seem so. Eighteen yards had been made when the lemon was lost sight of, and when again seen Kenagy was touching it behind our goal. The little band of black and gold people howled themselves black in the face and redoubled their efforts when Fuller kicked goal. Six to nothing in favor ot Doane. There was nothing especially noteworthy in the rest, of this half except a run of 25 yards by S P E R I A N. 1 Frank. The persimmon was on Doane's side when the gong sounded. The second half was a repetition of the same sad story. Doane made her touch down and Fuller again kicked goal. The score now stood 12 to o. The U. ot N. boys now girt on their armor and labored as Spartans. Of no avail, however, were their efforts. Though they were "near it, very near it," the 35 minutes were over and the tale was ended. Twelve to nothing. Yes, twelve to noth ing, and "little Doane" sang the tune till the day dawned. DUST FROM THE GAME. That man, Lee, from Doane, is a foot -ball player, and don't you forget it. Ask Alias, who bucked him. Come again, ye Cretan-bow men! The Spartans will have their greaves on next time. Leavitt plays foot-ball himself a little bit. This is the fourth consecutive year he has been Doane's qnarter back. One gentleman present at the game de clares he soaked over night in a barrel of soft soap to get the dirt off. Clark, of Omaha, was umpire, F. D. Cornell was referee, and J. W. Crabtree was linesman. We believe all tried to do their best, although Mr. Clark apparently made several rank errors. It was very dusty and well, I've been there myself. THE NEW FOOT-BALL RULES. vW0R the benefit oi the manv wno are 0 interested in the game we insert these wP rules. It is the opinion of Stogg that 'the rules are unfair. In an interview in the Chicago Record he says that the rules give all the advantage to the team attacking the goal. The new foot-ball rules which go into effect this fall are not so radically unlike the old ones that any marked difference in the style of play will be noticed. The time of play is reduced to 70 minutes, with the former intermission of 10 minutes between the halves. -s.
