ONE PROFIT MAKER TO WEARER NEBRASKA DEFEATED. Champions Defeated by Score of 6 to 5 Iowa Jubilanvfr Nebraska lost tho Thanksgiving game of foot ball against Iowa State University by a score of 6 to 5. Nebraska did not play with that vim and dash which she showed oarlior in tho season, Tho players were feeling discouraged because of the lack of interest and support by tho University, and they played in a half hearted, don't-care sort of a way Though the day was cold and disagreeable, about 1700 peo ple watched the game, but most of the spectators wore tho old gold of Iowa. The scarlet and cream was conspicuous because there was so little of it. This state of affairs was not calcula ted to encourage tho ponnant winners. Tho Nebraska team arrived early on tho gridiron and had to wait nearly an hour in tho cold and snow, before tho men from Iowa City appeared. Though it was more than 3:30 when Iowa got on tho field, pho would consent to play nothing but 35 minuto halves. She wanted everything her own way or she would not play. As tho game did not begin before 3:45 it had to bo called on account of darkness when Nebraska had the ball on Iowa's 8 yard line. Iowa kicked off and hold Nebraska for downs. Iowa was un able to gain and tried a quarterback kick but Benedict got the tho ball. Tho ball changed hands several times in rapid suc cession. Iowa began to gain and was getting dangerously near Nebraska's goal, when tho champions made a grand rally and hold tho enemy for downs two yards from tho goal. And now Nebraska thought she would show what she could do on tho defensive. She was making good gains on tho Iowa line, whon tho sensational play of tho game was made. On a well executed criss cross, Benedict got around tho loft end for a fifty yard run. Now that Nebraska saw tho goal in sight, she determined to carry tho ball over tho lino. Iowa could not resist tho fierce rushes of Pillsbury, .Irwin and Wil liams with every other man in tho push. Tho ball was within one yard of tho goal; a signal was given; Griffith, tho rod-haired Iowa quarterback, who distinguished himself throughout the game for his tackling, made a leap over tho Nebraska line and our quarterback; there was a rush and a scrimmage, and when the players were pulled away, Hansen whb found across tho line in possesion of tho ball. Molford misod a rather difficult goal. Nebraska 5 Iowa 0. Nebraska kicked off in tho second half. Iowa, with the Pennsylvania formation' gradually forced tho ball into Ne braska's territory. Hero tho conquerors of tho Jayhawkors made a stand and got the ball. Nebraska tried a criss-cross but was tackled for a loss. With ninoyards to gain, tho signal for a punt was given, but for some reason Irwin did not got tho ball, and it was Iowa's ball on our 25 yard lino. This failure to punt lost the game for Nebraska, as it ena bled Iowa to make a touchdown from which Hobbs kicked gum wwu u. nuuruHKU u. vj It was near tho end of tho game when Nebraska again got REGENT SHOES, 88,50. 1030 O ST. 3gmiLi-Li;.ji h
