the light brigade.

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 of Doane. There
was nothing especially notewortriy in the rest
of this half except a run of 25 yards by
SPERIAN.
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.v
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.
OR the benefit of the many who are,
i-jrt interested in the game we insert these
THE NEW FOOT-BALL RULES.
jkwwP 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 tlie
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.
