Nebraska now stands a chance for the pen ant. We are aware of that fact; so are the boys and they are bound to win. Twice have they conquered, one after the other, two of the best teams in the West. Kansas and Ot tawa were beaten simply by the superiority of our team. The first game occurred last Sat urday in Lawrence. The two teams lined up for the fray at a little before four o'clock as follows: NEBRASKA. KANSAS. Whipple L E Steinbujg Oury L. T .Pope Wilson L. G Moody Hemming C Stowe Jones R.G Griffith Deru R. T Harris Thorp R. E Foster Spooner Q Hill Flippin L. H Shellenbarger Yont R. H Wilson Fair F. 13 Hester Kansas made the kick off and with a rush and a whoop had the ball over the line and had kicked It between the bars in less than five minutes. It was fearful; the Kansans yelled and whooped like Winnebago Indians, but it was of no avail. Flippin and Yont then be gan to buck the line. Gain after gain was made; steadily they worked into the enemy's territory, and by the end of the half, eight was scored by the Nebraskans. By singular ill fortune Fair failed to kick both of these goals and also one in the next. Two of these, however were extremely haid. In the second half Kansas a&ain started a heavy gait but was unable to keep it up. Ne braska received her touch-down in this half just a moment before the umpire called time. The score at the conclusion of the game was Nebraska 12, Kansas 6. The referee, umpire land Lawson. In summing the whole game up briefly, Nebraska won, not because of superior weight not because of superior sprinting, but because our boy's interference was in every respect of a higher grade than their opponents. We left no holes, whereas Kansas was like a seive. GAME NO. IT. THE OTTAWA MEN NOT IN IT. The Nebraska football team did not turn from the Kansas victory to the next game with any great amount of over-confidence. The Ottawa team is composed of the seven best players from the old Baker team, with the addition of four other of the best players to be obtained in the country. For three years this team has flaunted the championship pennant over the four states. Missouri beat us and they beai Missouri r8 to o. But a game had been arranged and we were "in for it." Besides they had come to know from experience that one cannot always prophesy from a comparison of previous scores. The K. U. men said "Wait until you strike ugly Taylor. He will kill half your men before you are through the game." The Ottawa men and the Lawrence men have the same sympathetic relations that Doane has to us. They came down and learned our yell and with our few substitutes formed our entire crowd of hooters. Like wise the K. U. supported them when they played us. The K. U. team promised our team a champagne supper if they would only beat Ottawa. The only fence around the Ottawa grounds was a cordon of cadets. This military disci-, pline is a new thing to the Ottawa boys and they handled the guns as though there was a mistake about it somewhere. The Nebraska boys were pitied by the crowd. It was understood that they were to be used by Cnarley Taylor and his friends merely to show the folks what they csuld do if they tried. Thomas and Crawford alone appeared satisfied although a trifle nervous. Thomas spent all day Sunday in Ottawa, Hi II H SI I i
