VIENNA , Nov. 23. When the lower
house of the Rclchsrath assembled
today , after adjourning yesterday from
the scene of unprecedented disorder
nil the ministers were present , and the
approaches to the presidential tribune were
, blocked , doors having been erected since the
/ disgraceful fighting ot yesterday In and about
[ the tribune and entrance of the house.
J The entrance of the p'csident of the cham-
t > er , Dr. Abrahamovlrs , was the signal for
Joud cheers , which were followed by leftists'
cries of shame. Dr. Abrabamovlcs made an
offlort to speak but Hcrr Wolff Interrupted
him by shouting : "Some one else must take
the chair ; not this swindler. "
Herr Schocnerer , the leader of the section
of the German opposition , then yelled at the
top ot his voice : "I demand the right to
speak , which I am entitled to. "
Dr. Wolff thereupon replied : "There Is
no such thing as right In this house ; It Is
trodden under foot by his namelukes. "
As the uproir which followed showed every
sign of Increasing , Dr. Abrahamovlcs "ad
journed the house until 3 o'clock this after
noon with a storm of "hurrahs" and
"braves. "
The sitting was resumed at 3:30. : Immedi
ately the leftlsto commenced a tremendous
din , In the middle of which the German cen
trist , Count Falekenhayn , conceived as a
lappy idea a proposal to cow constructlonlsts
by threatening their pockets. He moved that
for the future disorderly members might be
suspended for th-eo days by the president
or-for thirty days by the house , during which
time their allowance should be stopped , while
members refusing to leave the chamber when
requested might be forcibly expelled.
WOLFF IS IRREPRESSIBLE.
The speech was Interrupted by continuous
uproar , Herr Wolff shouting , "Let's pitch the
blackguards out. "
The president vainly called for order.
Finally Herr Wolff stationed himself directly
In front of the presidential tribune and be
gan a shrill whistle. A number ot Deputies
tried to force open the doors at the front of
the platform , while a party ot Czechs en
deavored to prevent them.
When the tumult was at Its height , Herr
'Abramovlcs declared that ho seconded the
motion of Herr Falekcaaya , ae a necessary
action of self-defense , and called for voting
The whole right at once arose and the
president declared the motion carried. A
number of Deputies then began clambering
upon the president's platform , whereupon be
seized his bell and left the house. After a
short Interval ho returned and began to ad
dress the chamber , but his voice was
drowned In a torrent of leftist yells , and
ehouts of "Get out" and "Shame. "
Finally the sitting waa suspended for an
hour , at the close of which President Abra-
hamovics returned and announced that in
accordance with wishes expressed In many
quarters , bo baa decided to cluec the sitting ,
to opca again tomorrow.
MARK TWAIN A WITNESS.
The scenes which are regarded as a par
liamentary coup d' etat were witnessed by
the British ambassador. Sir Horace Rum-
bold , and by Samuel L. Clemmons ( Mark
Twain ) , with other noted foreigners. The
motion of Couat Falekenhayn , former minis
ter of agriculture , was carried by means of
en evidently preconcerted signal between
President Abrahmnovic.1 and the rightists , for
no wqrd of the president's speech was
Audible. „ This proceeding was greeted by
howls and jeers by th'e obstructionists. For
a long time Count Badenl , the premier , stood
calm and unmoved , but when the disorders
reached the climax both he aud the president
sought safety from personal violence In
Flvo Vienna newspapers , Including the
Neuo Frole Presso and tbo socialist organ ,
Arbiter Zeitung , In addition to several pro
vincial journals , have been confiscated for
articles on Wednesday's proceedings.
Couat Badenl had interviews with Emperor
Francis Josyoh last night and this morning.
Today's meeting was delayed while the
carpenters built fences around the president's
chair. While this was going on tbe as
sembled men Indulged In animated discus
sions and jested about the "presidential
cace , "
The leaders of the opposition met this
evening to decide what steps should bo taken
In view ot the violation ot the constitution ,
but no decision was reached ,

In Figaro with regard to Schuerer Kestner'a
connection with the Dreyfus case :
"What a thrilling drama , what magnificent
characters. In the presence of the tragic
beauty of these furnished by real life my
novelist's heart leapt In my bosom with pas
sionate admiration. I know none whose
whole psychology Is on a higher level. I have
no Intention of speaking of the affair Itself
If circumstances have allowed me to study It
and to come to a formal conclusion. I do
no' forget that an Investigation hns been
opened that courts have taken cognizance
of the matter anil that the honest thing
to do Is to wait without adding to the mass
of wretched gossip which has obscureil an af
fair , In Itself so olmple and so clear. But from
today these personages belong to me , who am
simply a looker on In life who keeps his
eyes opened , and If the condemned of three
years ago , If the accused of today are tome
mo sacred until justice has done Us work ,
the thlid gicit character In this drama cinnot
suffer from the effect that one speaks one's
mind honestly and bravely concerning him.
This la what I have seen of Scheurcr Kcstncr ,
what I think and what I believe. Somfi day
perhaps , circumstances permitting , I may
speak of the two others. A life as clear
as crystal , as straightforward , as loyal as
can be , not a stain , not the slightest moment
of weakness ; an unchanging opinion faith
fully followed without restless ambition , with
an end , an exalted political position due alone
to respectful sympathy of his equals ; withal
not a dreamer , nor a theorist ; a manufacturer
who has lived In his laboratory , devoting
himself ( a special duty without counting the
dally cares of a great business house under
his care. And , let mo add , a large fortune ,
wealth , honors , happlnws ; the crowning of
a noble life entirely given up to work.
"A court martial has found guilty of treason
a captain who perhaps Is Innocent. The pun
ishment has been terrible ; degradation be
fore the public , the confinement In a distant
locality , all the execration of a natbn wreak
ing Its rage to destroy the wretch at their
feet , nut If ho wcro Innocent ; great God.
what a shudder of unbounded { ilty , what a
cold shiver of horror. It Is possible that a
doubt arose In the mind of Scheurer Kest-
ner at once. As he himself had told us. It
tormented and haunted him as new facts
were brought to his notice from time to time.
His was a solid and logical brain which
gradually became overpowered by the in
satiable desire to learn the truth.
Zola further says : "Scheurer Kestner at
last held & certainty. Ho knew the truth
and determined to sec Justice done. That
was a critical moment for a mind like his.
I can Imagine what that minute of anguish
must have been. He was well aware of the
storm he would raise , but truth and justice
are above all. They alone assure the great
ness of natlcns. It may be that political
Interests can obscure them for a time , but
every nation which does not base Us exist
ence uoon them Is today a people condemned
at the tar of public opinion. The Idea of
Sohuerer Kestner was , while doing this work.
to keep out of sight. He had decided to say
to the government : 'Here are the facts , take
the matter In hand , so that you yourself
may have the merit of being just by repair-
lag an error. ' Thp outcome of every act of
lustlco Is a triumph. '
"Circumstances to which I do not wish to
allude today prevented them from listening
to him. From that moment he knew no
peace. It had been said that he clutched
the truth. And can he who holds it without
oroclaimlni ; it , be other than a public
enemy ? "
Zola says further : "I know nothing more
"iibllmp than the silence of Scheurer Kest-
ncr during the three weeks when a whole
oeoplc In despair suspected and abused him.
The least violent expressed a doubt as to
his faulty. Was ho not an old man In his
second childhood , one of those whom in-
siplent scnllo weakness causes to believe'
anvtuinc ? Others , madmen and ruffians ,
simply said ho had taken a bribe. It was
simple enough ; tbo Jews bad paid a million
to buy his conscience and to think thit no
universal roar of laughter greeted this
stupidity. "

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 25. The Univer
sity of Pennsylvania foot boll team defeated
Cornell this afternoon on Franklin field by
the score of 4 to 0. It was by far the fast
est game that has been played here thU s ft
son and shows Cornell to have a rcu..i.- '
ably strong tram.
There was less enthusiasm , manifested by
the 20,000 persons present than on last Sat
urday , because during the first half Cornell
did all the playing , but In the second half
Pennsylvania used Its guardsback formation
with terrible effect on the Cornell line. After
nearly every scrimmage In which this forma
tion was used there would bo Cornell man
stretched on the grass. These tlre.iomo In
terruptions wcro the only drawbacks to au
otherwise brilliant game. Of course there
was considerable fumbling , due to the slip
pery1 ball , and Weeks also made a bad mess
of two quarterback kicks , but this latter was
also partially due to the muddy ball.
AMBITION TO THE WINDS.
Prlncetoni had beaten Cornell 10 to 0 , and
Harvard scored 24 against 5 for the carnellan
and white , and It was the Quakers' ambi
tion to top both of these scores If possible
and thereby make today's game a fitting
finale for the greatest foot ball season lu
ithe history of the red and blue. It was
also Captain Minds' ambition to make a good
big score against the Ithaca lads , as this
would make his captaincy shine out with
even more brllllaucy than ever. But in both
calculations hope was dashed to the earth ,
mainly through the brilliant playing of the
entire Cornell team.
In the first half Pennsylvania tried the
guards-back , but this formation was just as
easily stopped , as was attempted end-skirt
ing , andi no matter where the Quakers tried
to get through there always seemed to be u
Cornell man tjlng In wait to tackle. Ila line
in tills half held like a stcue wall aud the
ends were down < he field under Young's
kick before tbe Pennsylvania men reached
the ball.
The Indivlduiil stars on the Cornell eleven
were decidedly Wilson , Windsor , Whiting
and Young , tbo back field. The two former
were sent against Pennsylvania's line for
good gains and alee around the ends , while
the tackling of Whiting and Young on the
ends was a beautiful exhibition of fast foct
ball.
CORNELL SHOWS WEAKNESS.
In the seccod half the pace began to tell
on the Ithaca lads and they were driven
down the field by the guards-back at a des
perate pace. For the first fifteen minutes of
play It looked as though the carnellan and
white representatives would surely score , but
after this , and notwithstanding the ball waa
In 'Pennsylvania's territory a greater part of
the time , a coal was not menaced. The
Pennsylvania lost one and possibly two op
portunities of scoring when within Cornell's
twelve-yard line by fumbles. Aside from
these their fumbles were not disastrous.
For Penosylvanla the 'Individual play of
Hare , Goodman and Outland wis remarkable.
They made good gains nearly every time
they were entrusted w-ith the ball. Hare
also tackled , In fine slupe , getting out to
the end of tbe line and. nailing bis man be
fore the half-tacks could reach the runner.
Pennsylvania's touchdown was not made
until after twenty-one minutes of actual
play In the second half. For any team to
1 old Pennsylvania's guards-back formation in
check for fifty-six minutes Is a great feat
and only demonstrates how strong Cornell's
team really was toJay.
CORNELL STARTS OUT WELL.
The teams came on the ground at 2
o'clock. Cornell won the toss and took
the east goal with the wind In Its favor.
For the first few minutes there was a duel
of the fullbacks , during which Cornell's
splendid Interference showed to great ad
vantage. Then Cornell got the ball on her
flftyard line and commenced to pound her
way down the field , sending her backs one
after another against the line and around
until she brought up against a stone wall
ou Pennsylvania's eight-yard line and lost
the ball. Wilson and Whiting did star
work In bucking the line. Pennsylvania
fought her way back to the center of the
field by hard line bucking work , when
there was another kicking duel , ending on
Cornell's twenty-flve-yard line , where Morlce
tried for a field goal , but missed his chance ,
owing to a bad pats by Overfleld. Weeks
oiught It on Cornell's eight-yard line and
punted out of danger to the fifty-flve-yard
mark , but Minds returned It with Interest ,
and the ball was Cornell a on her three-
yard line. Youngs was there , however , and
sent the ball back where It had come from ,
but Morlce made a beautiful twenty-five-
yard run into Cornell's territory before
being downed ,
The ItlKicans had outplayed Pennsylvania
at every point up to this stage of the game ,
working the fake pass several times to ad
vantage. Cornell had stopped the dead line
guards' back formation of Pennsylvania sev
eral timed for no gains and seemed to flank
the red and blues' ends almost at will for
gains of five and ten yards. The half ended
with no score , the ball on Pennsylvania's
thlrty-flve-yard line.
SECOND HALF.
Pennsylvania started In to redeem herself
la the second half. Tbo ball was pounded
Into Cornell's twenty-yard line and then
Youngs kicked out to mldfield. The ball
hung to about the center for a time and
then Weeks tried the quarterback kick , and
Youngs caught It on Cornell's fifteen-yard
line. Then Pennsylvania started In to
pound the line. Men were laid out in almost
every scrimmage , but got up to play again.
Maes play followed moss play es the red and
blue hammered Us way down tbe field and
the ball hung for a moment ou Cornell's
seven-yard line. Minds made four yards
by jumping over tbe center. The bal ! was
within a foot of Cornell's goal when tbo
heavy-footed Young got it and kicked and
twenty > ords of Pennsylvania's hard earned
ground waa lost. Cornell eventually kicked
her way to the fifty-yard line and then
the hesvy Pennsylvania backs were thrown
agalcst the line again and sgaln. Cornell's
defense weakened , for flesh and bbod could
not stand the terrible strain of guards and
halfbacks smashing time after time at the
same place. Pennsylvania alternated her
plays , end ! and tackle , and after twenty- one

Ing for hia treatment of Private Charles
Hammond. After speaking of the Impor
tance of the case bo said :
"Gentlemen , I submit that In our mili

a general use of arbitrary power or punish
ment without trial is calculated to hasten

restrained by law and In opposition to the
spirit of our free Institutions. "
In conclusion Colonel Hunter said : "In
this tr'al I ahlnk there Is something more
than a serious accusation Involved. I think
the reputation of the army officers for good
Judgment , for command of self , for hu
manity and justice ia also en trial here.
This is a time of peril 'to ' your order and to

your tribunals. I think. the things which
the accused has done tyrannically ought to
appear to jou who have heard them just as
bitter and scandalous as they did to him
that felt them. The finding rendered by
this court will live long after taps have
been souaded over the graves of the men

NEW YORK , Nov. 25. New Yorkers have
the advantage of celebrating two holidays In
ono. This Is not only Thanksgiving day , but
also Evacuation day , tbo day when Is cele
brated the departure fyotn New York of the
British troops. Evacuation day also Is a
social holiday and Is generally observed by
the old guard and the military. The old guard
observed the day as usual by marching from
its headquarters daw a the battery , where
the exercises of raising tentage were fol
lowed as usual. The old guard was escorted
by a detachment of the United States regu
lars from Governor's Island. Flag-raising ex
ercises also occurred at the blockhouse at
Central park.
Great preparations bad been made to feed
tbo poor bv the commissioners of charities
and corrections and tbe eleemosynary institu
tions of this city and none weat hungry.
The striking featurq of the day waa the
absence of any great spcrting event In the
city. Thanksgiving heretofore was the day
tbo final great foot ball event was contested
In this city , but there are no games or con
tests of any note hero today.

The lovers of foot ball who braved the
Inclement weather of jester Jay afternoon
to see the game between the elevens repre
senting Nebraska Wesleyan university and
Ottawa ( Kansas ) university were rewarded by
ono of the finest exhibitions of foot ball
ever given In this city. "It was a well played
game. The playing was clean and fast. I
enjoyed , 'lt Just ns much as 1 did the Yale-
Harvard game , " was what W. V. Morse ot
this city said on coining out of the gates ,
and that probably expressed the opinion of
the rest of those who witnessed the game.
The giime went to the Wesleyan team
by the score of 24 to 12 , but the visiting team
from Kansas had thb satisfaction of having
made the victors work hard for their trophy ,
and gave one of the best exhibitions of a
strong rally at the close of the game local
followers of the gimo have ever seen. Ot
tawa scored first and last , but between the
start and the finish was outplayed by the
Wesleyan In Just about the ratio as repre
sented by the score. There was but llttls
punting In the game and plays directed
against the tackles and end runs appeared
most conspicuous la the -game. Both teams
showed up In much stronger shape In of
fensive than In defensive work.
In consideration of the disagreeable
woither for the spectators and counter at
tractions elsewhere the crowd presnt was
a large one. It lined both sides of the field
and was from three to five persons deep.
In addition to those who stood on the ground
and shivered were a number In carriages ,

a numerous delegation of Elks and the other

of fair > oung women for the moat part
decorated with the colors of Wesleyan were
there to cheer the team and to tell the sub
stitutes along the line what perfectly dear
creatures they were. In all there wore
probably about SOO or 900 persons present.
As was natural , the Wealej-an team had
the largest number of champions , a delega
tion of students from that university hav
ing come up from Lincoln to cheer their team
to victory. Four youths from Wesleyan ,
armed with huge megaphones , were on the
side lines to shout encouragement In an
exaggerated form to their favorites. There
were numerous parodies on popular songs ,
among them the following :
rtnh , rah , rah , Wesleyan's cot the nail ,
Rah , rah , rah. Just watcli Ottiiwa fall ,
When we hit their line they will have no
line at all ;
There'll be a hot time In this old town to-
nlg.ht.
EACH TEAM WELL SUPPORTED.
The weather was Intensely uncomfortable
for the spectators , but it did not appear to
chill their enthusiasm to any great extent.
The good plays were cheered , especially if
they were end runs or other open plays.
Wesleyan's best efforts were most enthusi
astically commended , while the good plays of
Ottawa were not allowed to go unobserved.
The Elks took up the Ottawa team and cham-
yloned its cauue quite lustily. The game was
marked by an exhibition of friendly cplrit.
There was plenty of hard playing , but not a
nlayer had to be warned against rough play
ing. Both teams met together at the center
at the field at the conclusion of the game
and cheered for the members of the op
posing team. Not a player was hurt , though
Bull , left halfback of the Wesleyan team , '
cave away to Bailey , and Pardee , left half
back of Ottawa , to Burnett , in the second half
of the game. Both substitutions were on
iccount of the playing of men who were not
in the best of condition , though both of the
men who retired walked off the field without
limping or very plainly the worse for wear.
The game was started promptly on time ,
Fullback Erwln kicking off for Wesleyan.
Ottawa took the ball on Its thirty-five-yard
line and steadily advanced it toward the
Wesleyan goal. The Pennsylvania guards'
back formation , which seems to have spread
throuch tbo western foot ball teams like an
Infectious disease , was the very first play
adopted by the men from Kansas , and it ap-
oeared to work well. Tbo gains were ehort ,
but were appreciable , and once it advanced
thn ball ten yards for Ottawa. Five plays
bad advanced the ball twenty-five yards ,
when a cleverly worked double pass com
pletely fooled the Wesleyan team , and sent
Captain Charles Campbell , fullback of the
Ottawa team , down tbe north sideof the
field for a run of thirty yards. It rather
astonished the crowd and produced some con-
sternatka among the Wcsleyan players. But
Ottawa , now near to the Wesleyan goal , became -
came over-anxious , aud the quarterback
.Tumbled , On tbe next play Dunn , the star
tackle of the Wesleyan team , was through
the line and tackled Pardee for a loss. Ot
tawa tried the quarterback kick , and the ball
was Wesleyan'a , fifteen yards away from its
own goal. There were some small gains by
Wesleyan , and cne big ono by Dunn , but ou
a fumble Barnett , Ottawa's left tackle , se
cured the ball and ran thirty jurds for a
touchdown. Moore kicked goal , and the Kan
sas men had scored first. Score : 6 to 0.
WESLEYAN BRACES UP.
The ire of the followers of John Wesley
was now worked up to the limit and Captain
Bailey , who was keeping out of the game ,
was running up and down tbe line shout
ing several different kinds of things to his
mcu. Tbo talking evidently braced tbe men
up , for they went at tbe Ottawa line ham
mer and tongs and in twelve minutes Wea-
leyan bad forced tbe ball down tbe field by
small steady gains directed ( gainst tbo
tackles for a touchdown , from which Erwln
kicked tbe goal. The score waa tied , C to C ,
though it could ( be seen that tbe touchdown
of Weeleyan'a had ecn duo more to hard
I/laying through Jho line , while Ottawa's
had been gained by a fortunate circumstance
that happened aloog at an opportune time.
There bad been. Uenty minutes of playing ,
both teams bad scored once , but tbe playing
indicated the superiority of Wesleyan. In
tbe next ten minutes Wes'eyan repeated Its
fine lice work and on short gains of from
two to eight yards tbe ball waa pushed down
tbo field for another touchdown , Dunn being
sent through the left tackle for the bocor.
Erwln kicked tbe goal and Wealeyan had a
lead of six points , with the score 12 to Q.
Wefileyao started off again after another
touchdown and things looked very much that

fifteen yards of Ottawa's goal again , but
hero the Kansas r/layers made the grandest
stand of the game. They captured the ball
en downe and in four plays carried 11
twenty-five yarda away. Plunges of the Ot
tawa backs for seven and ten yards were
eyo-openera , for this was the first time
they had been so successful In their plunges
against the Wcslcjon line. The epectators
wondered If the Kansas people were going
to make another tie score , but their won
derment was cut short as the whistle waa
blown for the end of the flrst half , with the
ball forty yards away from Ottawa's goal
and the srore 12 to ( i In favor of Wesleyan.
METHODISTS RUSH MATTERS.
The second half opened with a kick-oft by
Ottawa for thirty yards. Erwin took the
kick for Wesleyan and ran twenty yards.
Then Wesleyan commenced at tnc line of the
visitors again and made substantial gains.
Just twice Ottawa got the ball , but neither
time to keep It long , for Wesleyan was rushIng -
Ing matters for another touchdown. Once
the Ottawa quarterback secured the ball on
a fumble by Vesleyan In tho"hilddre of the
field. The crowd looked for a repetition of
Ottawa's onslaught aeon at the close pf the
flrst half , but were disappointed In their ex
pectations , aa Ottawa lost th'e ball on a fum
ble on the very first attempt at an end run
by Moore. It took Wesleyan a quarter of an
hour to get Its touchdown and the Methodist
boys were delayed ( several minutes by a fine
stand of Ottaw'a within five yards of their
own go.il. The Kansas men could not hold
the stronger men from Nebraska , however ,
and the latter soon pushed over for another
touchdown. Score , IS to 6.
Captain Bailey of the Wesleyan team now
entered the game , displacing Bull at left half ,
back. Up to this time the stocky leader of
the psalm singers had been standing on the
sidelines nursing a boll on one of his flugeiu.
Ills appearance In the backdcld greatly
strengthened Wcsleyan , although Bull had
'been making some splendid gains. Around
the left end of Ottawa went the doughty cap
tain for big gains , sometimes a half dozen ,
other times a dozen , and occasionally a
couple of dozen yards. Carver , his running
mate , was playing Just as fast , apparently
stimulated by the entrance of bis regular
side partner In the game. Carver tripped
along the right end of the Ottawa line for
twenty-five yards. Bailey took it again , and
then Dunn burst through the line. All npots
in the Ottawa line looked alike to the Meth
odists about this time and it didn't make
much difference where they struck In. In
five minutes Wesleyan had secured Its fourth
and last touchdown , from which another goal
was kicked. Score , 21 to 0 , in favor of Wcs
leyan.
OTTAWA SCORES LAST.
Ottawa kicked off for thirty yards and
Oirver carried the ball ten yards before be
ing downed. The next try did not net Wes
leyan any gain. The ball was passed to .Er
wln for a punt away from Wesleyan's gcal ,
but be was slow In. getting oft his kick and
itwas blocked ten yards In front of the
Wesleyan gojl. The ball was saved to Wesleyan -
leyan , however , and on the next try Erwln
did better , sending tbe sphere thirty yards
with a well-timed kick , allowing his ends to
got down the field In good shape. Ottawa
now commenced to make the best gains of
the game. Barnett , who bad taken Pardco's
place at left halfback , was found to be a
flno ground gafcier and with him and Moore
to rush the ball along steady gains of
six , seven and eight yards soon brought the
ball near to the Wesleyan goal. On tbe
sixth play Moore got through for a dozen
yards and scored tbe last touchdown of the
game , from which ho kicked the goal. Score ,
24 to 12. Tbe lost play was just at the ex
piration of tlmo and the crowd "dispersed
well satisfied with tbo result.
WESLEYAN PLAYED BETTER.
Excepting for three periods of the game
Wesleyan outplayed Ottawa more than shown
In tbo score. These three periods were at
tbe beginning of tbe flrst half , at the end
ot the first half and at the close of the
second half. The rest of. the time the Wes
leyan backs and tacklca went through at
will , and rarely waa Wcsleyan held on
downs. Thu bullc of Wesleyan's playing ,
until tbe latter part of tbe game , was di
rected against the Ottawa tackles , and
owing to the superiority of the Wesleyan
tackles and their ability to "box" their
opponents , these plays were generally profit
able. Later in , the game tbo Wesleyan backs ,
especially Captain Bailey and Carver , began
skirting Ottawa's ends for good long gains.
After tbe change was made In the line-up
of Ottawa Barnett showed showed himself
to be a brilliant halfback and never failed
to gain. It is possible that Ottawa's score
would have beau greater bad he been played
from the start. But tbo same possibility
holds true regarding the playing of Captain
Bailey with Wcsleyau. The players who
are entitled to especial commendation are
tbe following : 'Wesleyan ' , Dunn , left tackle ;
Carver , right halfback ; Bailey and Bull , left

Six to nothing ! Champions again , and not
the shadow of defeat to mar the record ot
1897. No wonder tbo Nebraska boys wcro
happy last night. And the old red lantern
hangs high In the belfry.
Upon the muddy , miry , sticky gridiron on
the Field Club grounds In Council Bluffa
yesterday afternoon the yellow-backed foot
ball eleven of the University of Iowa went
down it , glorious defeat ibefore their red-
swcaterod foemen from the University ot
Nebraska In ono bt the cleanest and hardest
fought contests ever seen In this suction ot
the country and by the narrow margin of sir
points to nothing.
This touchdown and the goal that fol
lowed declares that the Nebraska lads are
the better of the two aggregations , but It ia
questionable whether any uonpartlsan spec *
tater of the great game will bu willing to
admit that the victory It beyond dispute
oven with the score before bis eyes. To the
lowan that touchdown may be easily con
strued as a gift of luck. To him who looked
upon It as it was being made with Impartial
eyes It waa the result of the quickneos of
Benedict , the hero of the Nebraska team ,
to seize an unexpected opportunity and of
aa oversight on the part ot the lowans.
This oversight , or bit ot carelessness , was
the only defect In the most marvelous de
fensive game that has eve.1 been exhibited
by any foot bill eleven In this "section ' "oT
the country. Again and again the red repre
sentatives of the prairie state gathered to
gether their strength and forced their yel
low-backed opponents back and back Into
their territory until it seemed that a touch
down must bo the result.
Back and back the lowans would go until
their five-yard line wculJ ha reached. In
this , thnir last ditch , they would always
make their stand and with tiger-like ferocity
would rupcl the savage attacks upon their
line. Again and again at this danger point
they held the Nebraskans to a standstill ,
secured tha ball ou downs and quickly kicked
It back , to thu center of the field und out of
danzur.
BENEDICT'S GREAT PLAY.
There fate came when It did not seem to
be Impending. The Nubraskans had the ball
and were slowly forcing It down the field ,
but It was on the ihlrty-flvo-ysnl line. When
thn ball was parsed to Benedict not one of
the spectators looked for more than a two
or three yard gain. Benedict dashed toward
the left side of his line and stooped against
a stone wall of.Io.su. brawn an muscle. Ha
struggled and plunged , but could not gain
'in ' Inch.
Taen right by his side there opened and
yawned a big hole between right tackle and
end. From this hole to the goal there waa
an absolutely clear field. All the lowana
were In front or In the rear ot him to stop
his progreEs. For an Inttant the halfback
hesitated and then the opportunity flashed ,
upon him. Through the hole ho slipped and
down the field ho lied along the side line ,
thirty-five yards to a touchdo-nu. Ho was
ten yards away before hU action was no
ticed by ills opponents and although they
went at once In pursuit r. t one of them
touched him until be vui- Behind /ho goal
posts with tbe bell zafcly i..cked away be
neath bis arm.
Pandemonium broke loose upon the fleld.
The Nebraskans , who bid come full of cui-
fldenco that they would easily down the
lowans , had become silent as the flrct half
ended and tiio second waa progressing with
out much hope of a touchdown. For a mo
ment tbcy dlij not realize that the expected
had coma at lust and then they pianccd and
danced and jumped and yelled like crazy
men , and , for that matter , like craiy women ,
too. i
UNEXPECTED , BUT VERY. WELCOME.
H was thus that the victory wan achieved.
It was completely and entirely unexpected.
To bo sure. It may bo figured that Nebrauka
had the better of the came from tbo fact that
it kept the ball tha greater part of the whIle
in the lowan's territory , but It must bo con
sidered that they wuro never able , hard as
they tried again and again , to push it over
the covejed lino.
Once inoro the ball was kicked oft and once
moro the Nebraskans by short gains forced
It down Into the lowans * territory. This tlmo
the yellow-backed players showed their gin
ger before the danger line wan reached. Oa
their twenty-flva-yanl Una they secured it
and then they showed what they could do in
an offensive way.
IOWA'S DE3PERATE WORK. -
The backs , tbo guards , tbe tacklca fell
upon the Ncbraskans rlko so many fiends.
They bucked tbo line , they went uround tbe
end. It was the turn of thu Nebraekana to
fall back. They could not rtnlat tbe on
slaught , although they threw themselves
boldly against tbo attacks. Back they fell
into their territory , until tho1 hearts of tnolr
followers sunk within them and they frantic ,
ally shouted encouragement. The lowans
were now on tbe Neraakana ten-yard line
anil a touchdown seemed a potolblllty If not
a probability. Then ttie surlliwhistle ot tiio
referee dashed their hopes to tbo ground.
Tbe second half ended In their defeat.
These were tbe two features of the
Benedict's touchdown and the
energy displayed by the lo/rana at tn.9 eu >
ot tbe second hnlf. Outtide ot tbeta Ui
