About The Hesperian / (Lincoln, Neb.) 1885-1899 | View Entire Issue (Nov. 19, 1897)
THE : HESPERIAN spongers, who saw tint game from Ihe chapel windows, wore their colors. The game was not played in the Kansas City Star. It is rumored that Kansas will not play Yale for a week or two. This statement, however is unauthoritative. To gracefully accept defeat . is an accom plishment in which the Jay-hawkers are not proficient. The day was one long to he remembered. The crowd was estimated at from 3,000 to 4.000. It was a sight to see the gaily decor ated and enthusiastic humanity applaud and encourage their favorites on to victory. Coach Woodruff of Kansas and Lieut. Wil son of Omaha were linemen. Bobbins and Townley were timekeepers. Speake, Mosse. Hess and Gaines did hard work for Kansas. Wiggins and Schwartz were favorites with the bleachers. Robby doesn't write many letters, but he does play football. ! inn t"l Cowgill slugged; Kleinhaus said Speaks' punt counted; Kleinhans said Wiggins was oil side. Each saying was at a critical time; each decision favored Kansas: each decision proved his dishonesty. Will Weary Wylie lell us how he likes the Nebraska game? Kansas talks well both before and after the game. Jn the interim she is decidedly quiet. Nebraska plays in the interim. How high is the Kaw since the tears are shed? The Kan s: is contingent wore no 'crimson after the game. 'Twas all blue. There was also an odor of brinmtone about a few of ibe cold water brigade. No, we didn't meet them with 400 men at the train; but we had eleven on ihe gridiron. Wasn't that meeting enough. Woodruff's feelings are hurt. We don't wonder at it. As Joe .Tones says "Soni" peo ple have more'fcelings than sense.' Hayward, Turner, Stringer, Melford, 1'earse and Hansen uever failed to be in tho jpine. . . The Hehi'kiman said "Nebraska's bound to win." It is doubtful ifShedd has an equal in the. western league. The Kappa Alpha Theta girls occupied a neatly decorated part of the bleachers. The Phi Delta Theta's Mere there with a decorated coach and a number of girls. Everybodj' was there from the small boy to 'Doc Edwards. JSnliii-lyM GumcN. Wisconsin, 23; Univ. of Chicago.
