ftiuch 'heralded atone wall to pieces.

will thoreforo bo entitled to two hats
presented by Mayer Brothers. Cook
stated at full back and played a strong
game ropeatcdly hurdling the lino for
gains. After a few minutes playing
he had two ribes broken and was
forced to retire from tho game.
'Crandall played his usual strong
game but was at a disvantage because
of tho weight Of tho opposing team.
Montgomery on the defonsivo played a
strong game and tackled fiercely. Ho
broke up tho heavy interference many
times. Bender took his placo in tho
second half and made several good
runs although he was not so strong
on tho defensive.
Nebraska's ends, Cortolyou and
Johnson played good football and
brought forth much favorable comment
from the Minnesota side. A com
mon comment on Corteloyu from them
was "Got that sorrel top. Look out
'for that red head and get him out of
'tho way." Johnson did good work
and tackled well. Wurl went in as
full back during the last few minutes
of play but did not havo a chance to
show his worth.
FEATURES.
Minnesota made her first touch
down in seven minutes after tho kick
off. The first few plays were watched
with great interest by every one be
cause they would probably settle some
of tho uncertainty concerning victory.
Nebraska kicked off and went into the
inlay with a rush. The northerners
seemed rattled and were soon forced
'to 'kick. However, they soon recover
ed the ball and started down the field
carrying the ball to the thirty yard
sline. Here Nebraska hold them two
downs for no gain and Kliowlton tried
a goal from field. He failed. The
ball was brought to the fifteen yard
line and punted for twenty-five yards.
Minnesota then plowed through Ne
braska's line for good gains and soon
had a touch down to their credit.
The Minnesota crowd went wild nnd
cheered to the echo Knowlton mis
sod goal. Nebraska kicked off but
Boon gained the ball on Minnesota's
40 yard line. By line bucks, Nebras
'ka carried tho ball to the 15 yard line
and a touch down seemed a certainty.
Only two downs had been necessary
to mako tho five yards each time and
'Crandall had made one yard gain. A
fumble on tho next play cost Nebras
ka the ball and she lost the chance to
score.
Minnesota tried tho lino for no gain
and then an end run but Cortolyou
made a pretty tackle causing a loss.
'Knowlton punted to tho center of the
field. The lmll changed hands and
Minnesota punted again. In thonoxt
scrlmniugo, Cook received his Injury
and Pillsbury wont into the game. The
'Gophers soon punted Nebraska secur

Twas 'quickly passed to PlllBbury, who
wont through a holo In tho lino and
Started 'for 'the goal lino seventy yards
away ywl(h two Minnesota mon to do
fond it. Pillsbury out ran fthoso
bohind him with tho excellent inter
ferenco of tho team and had soon ddd
god past tho other two planting the
ball bohind tho goal posts aftor one
of tho most sensational plays possible
in a game. RJnger kicked goal mak
ing the score 10 to 6 in favor of tho
Gophers. Minnesota kicked over the
goal line and tho ball was brought out
to tho IB yard lino and punted. An
oxchango of punts and sevoral mass
plays placed tho ball on tho corn hus
kors 25 yard lino in tho possession of
tho Gophers. Two downs netted no
gain nnd Knowlton tried for a place
kick. This time ho was successful
making the score 15 to 6 in tho north
erners favor. Nothing was accomplis
heu during tho remainder of tho half
and the only feature was Drain's 25
yard run In returning a punt.
SECOND HALF.
Tho second half was hard fought by
both sides and each secured a touch
down. The rally of Nebraska was ft
aurprlso. Bonder had taken Mont
gomery's place at right half. Min
nesota kicked off to him and ho return
ed it 20 yards by a brilliant run
through the Gophers placing It on Ne
braska's 45 yard lino. Nebraska gdt
10 yards on an offside play. Crandall
and Pillsbury made tho fivo yards but
the ball was held for no gain on next
downs forcing a punt for 40 yards.
Johnson tackled the Gopher boforo he
could return tho oval an inch. Ne
braska held for downs and secured the
gall on Minnesota's 40 yard lino. The
Nebraska motors were wild and cheor
ing their players to their best efforts.
A foul gavo the ball to Minnesota
and the supporters of old gold and mar
oon felt easier.
The Gophers made 5 yards through
tho line in two downs and then 20
yards on a mass play through our left
end and tackle. Westovor blocked
the next two plays for no gain and
Koehler stopped the third giving the
oval to Nebraska on downs on hor
40 yard lino. At this point Nebras
ka rallied and by swift plays and fierce
line bucks played tho Gophers orf their
feet going 70 yards down the field
without losing the ball. Crandall
started it by making a yard. Pills
bury hit tho "stono wall" for eight
ynrds and then four. Crandall felt.
It his duty to do something so ran out
between end and tackle for 15 yards.
This put tho ball on tho northornorB
30 ynrd line. Nebraska rooters wore
wild again and the Minnesota aggre
gation was calling to Its players to ,
rally. It was of no avail.
Bondor mado 4 yards botweon end i
and tackle. Pillsbury ropeatod. the
play for 9 ynrds. Bendor and 'Pills

yard and the roliablo Pillsbury shot
Into tho lino. AVhon tho Gophers ro-1
covered he hail added four yards more
to Nebraska's credit. Thore was only '
throo yards more to mako and three

huskors do It? Pillsbury was called '
on and mado tho distance on tho first
attompt. Nebraska rootors again
went wild and tho steam whistle could
not bo hoard abovo tho choorB of tho
multitude. Rlngor kicked goal and
tho score was 15 to 12 In favor of tho
northerners.
If the light Co: n huskors could again
play the Gopluirs off .their 'foot, victory
would reward 'fholrofforts. 'Knowlton
kicked off and 'Crandall returned 'thoi
pigskin 20 yards. 'Bonder followed

15 yards and then were held two downs
without gain Knowlton trlcn a placo
kick but failed. Pillsbury punted
from the 25 yard line for 60 yards.
The northerners worked the ball to the
center of tho fiold and woro forced to
punt. Tho back field muffed tho punt
and Cortolyou got it on tho 35 yard
lino. Tho Corn huskors woro forced
to punt and Cortolyou made a pretty
tackle boforo the oval could bo roturn
ed. Then by line bucks tho heavy
Gophors, who had rallied, rushed tho
ball down tho fiold for a touch down
by Hoyt. Knowlton missed tho goal
making the score 20 to 12. Only a
few minutes romained to play and both

THK MjUMNI "ORGAN.
Attendant upon tho opening of the
now olinpol and tho uso of tho Alumni
organ, a fow facts (oncoming it may
bo of Intorost.
The organ wiib built, primarily, for
for ubo at tho Tnu'.smiBBlsHlppi Ex
position, In tho music hall. 'Profos
Bor Kimball, of tho School of Music,
was thou musical director of tho ox
position and tho niiinufacturor M. P.
Moollor, of Ilagorstown Md. roforrod
tho plans and specifications to him.
The Idea of It sometime bocomlng tho
property of tho UnlvorBlty then oc
curred to Mr. Kimbnll and tho plunB
woro drawn accordingly.
Aftor tho Exposition was ovov, a
mooting of nlumnl was callod, and tho
purchaoo of it was dotorminod upon,
thoy promising to pay 'twontyjfivo 'hun
dred dollars of tho throo thousund
reaulrod.Prof. 'Kimball prom JBlngjIn be
half of tho School of MubIo, 'fivo 'hun
drod. This was a special offor, tho
manufacturer saying that ho would not
duplicato tho instrumen t for seven
thousand.
Tho amount promised by tho alum
ni has been obtained from former stud
ents and graduates in donations not
exceeding ton dollars.
The organ as It stands now in tho
chapel is a very hoautiful instrumont,
with ornato case of oalf. It has
twenty-three hundred pipes, with three
manuals and fifty registers. It is
throughout, of tho latest modol, with
all tho up-to-date appliances, one fea
ture being radiating and concave ped
als enabling the player to oporato tho
Instrumont witl tho greatest easo.
Tho stops aro very complete, tho
string and voxia lumlaina tones Do
ing particularly beautiful, Tich and
full. Tho organ, as a wholo, is ono
of tho finest vest of tho Mississippi
river.
It is not oxpected that it can he used
at the oponing of tho new chapol, as it
is not sufficiently tuned, nor is thoro
any power to supply the air. It will
bo run by olcctrlc power and tho "motor
will bo vory late in arriving, consider
able time then being required to sot
it up.
A special program will probably ho
rendered with its use at tho dedication
of tho new chapol which will probably
occur about Charter Day. It Is sug
gested that that day would bo a very
appropriate ono on which to have tho
formal dedication cormonlos, a fine
program bolng given In tho presence
of tho state and university officials.
