The game was the most magnificent ever
seen In the west. The crowd was the great
est ever gathered to a similar event .in .the
Missouri .valley.. . The field "as absolutely
perfect. The stand were high and' strong
anf seated by actual count 4,000 people.
The arrangements for handling the crowd
could not have been Improved upon, all the
speeWtors could see the entire .im and
official did their work well and th game
.wart cne long to be remembered by the
7,000 1 lover of of the great college sport
who- filled Diets park to witness the big
gest football battle in the west this year.
NEBRASKA HALFBACK.
The Diets club deserves praise for the way
the game was managed,
From a spectacular point of view, the
. MINOR.
game could not have been Improved -upon.
The new rules forced plenty of kicking and
. both teams showed their skill time and
i again in the use of the' forward pass which
the new rules permit. There waa plenty
of kicking and the bull was sent whining
i, through the air many times. To a man
, who was not familiar with the rules of
f foi t ball the game was most attractive
', and the occasion was glorious to those who
M saw Ames lose In the last few minutes of
I play.
IV Wind Ilaya Importaat Part.
"" A hard wind swept from the weot,
lengthwise of the field, and It was a cu
rious fact that of the seven touchdowns
which, were made all were scored over
the east goal line. It almost seemed
that with the open game the side having
the wind and sun to assist was sure to
rrtcore sooner or later. The advantage lay
In Captain Harvey winning the tos and
then Nebraska' last touchdown being
made with too short a space of time for
Aine to again even matters. Nebraska
made the first score In 18 minutes of
play and from that time to the finish It
was a battle of giants with everything
I practically even except the advantage of
the wind. There U no discounting the
i Antes team for Ames has a real foot ball
i team. The Lambert brothers, playing
half and fll are a pair hard to beat.
Hubbard, the running mate of the Lam
berts Is speedy and hard to down and all
th Ames players tackle sure and hard. As
a defensive player Captain Law was a
tower of strength. Ames showed that
) it had a magnificently trained team and
during the 70 minutes of hard gruelling
' work not a man was taken from the
i' gam on the Ames side and time was
taken out but once. Ames was weakened

to. a considerable degree by the absence
of Orahani from the line up.
Cheers went up from Nebraska's section
when It was discovered that Hart was
able to play and Nebraska's line stood In
tact from th beginning of the contest
to the end. All of the back field 'men
were changed during the game, but the
new comers seemed to do Just as well ai
the regulars. Beltser gave way to Miner

Tempi took the place of Kroger and was (
replaced by Sturxen, who had been doing
splendid work. Cojke replaced Bentley, but
that was a case of - th real article being
called Into the game when .something des
perate had to be dune. Bentley had been
playing a fine game and had showed good
Judgment In the pinches, but Cook wu
needed for the long run which was to win
the game and he delivered th goods,
frond ' Waa Magalncent.
The crowd. It waa magnificent. Never had
such a crowd of enthusiasts gathered In
the west to witness a foot ball battle.
Olant stands had been reared at Diets
park, with solid bank of humanity and
color. The sight was Indeed thrilling. On
th north was stationed the Ames rooter
and on the south Nebraska. . The stands
seated 4,00 people. Boxes In front held BOO
more and the entire field was lined severs!
deep with lovers of the game. In front of
the college sections were the cadet bands
from each school and these led In the songs
and played the airs so doar to the collegi
an heart.
It wa not. all a Nebraska crowd which
Ames had to play before. Although a little
late in arriving the Ames contingent made
a splendid showing and In the crowd were
over 1,000 wearing the colors of Ames. The
yellmasters In front of the stands kept
the yells In unison and Nebraska would
sing a defiant song at Ames and the
Ames students would come right back with
are equally aprqopos.
Ames Rooters Arrive Late.
The special train bearing th bulk of the
CAPTAIN HARVEY, NEBRASKA'S '
RIGHT END.
Ames rooters was a Httle late In arriving
and Nebraska had scored the first touch
down before the Ames band, followed by
the students, came upon the field. The
band started Its muslo before It waa fairly
on the field and It was but a short time
before the Ames team, cheered by the band
and the yells of the late students, carried
the ball across the Nebraska goal line for
a touchdown. 81 Lambert missed the goal,
which left the score 6 to S In favor of Ne
braska, but . the ' Ames team had shown
that It had real ability and .that the battle
was not yet won by Nebraska.
Omaha has been working hard to have
the' Nebraska team -p)ay one of Its big
games In this city," And the game of yes
terday ' practically Insures a big annual
game In Omaha. ' Both teams were loud In
their praise of everything connected, with
the game and especially of the treatment
they received at the hands of tile Omaha
public. Lincoln never had such a crowd
to a foot ball game, although the people
have been educated up to first class foot
ball. The management of both teams was
more than pleased with the grand outpour
ing of fooc ball enthusiasts, and both re
turned home with their pockets bulging
with the receipt of the game, which will
materially help the exchequer of both
team.
Foot ball In the stage of It highest de
velopment was witnessed, and nothing but
words of praise were heard on all sides
after the grfme. The doubt of the outcome
until the last few minutes of play kept the
audience keyed up to the highest pitch,
The wind and the un on the west were
two prominent factors in the scoring,
and the team with that advantage had the
edge which. In time, brought the score. The
open style of play made a decided hit, on
the spectators and long runs added Interest
all the way through. The old style of
line plunging entirely was a thing of the
paat, and there was scarcely two minutes
of play but what some fleet-footed player
was loose for a long run or trying to get
loose, or when some new-styled play wa
being tried. The requirements of tea yards
to each three downs forces the captains to
be Ingenious and to work out some plays
on which there Is a chance for a long run
and that Is what th spectators were treated
to yesterday.

Dartmouth's victory over Princeton
all the more gratifying In view of the de
feat of ten year ago, when the Tiger
gamboled all over the Green. Another
good result of Dartmouth's prowess will
be the stimulus given to raising1 of. fund
for a new gymnasium, which fund are to
be In the nature of a popular subscription
from alumni all over the country. Ono of
the features of the trophy room will be
the carving of subscribers' names on spe
cially prepared bricks, thus making a last
ing monument for the loyal sons of "Old
Dartmouth." The victory over Princeton,
In the opinion of local alumni, means a
like victory over Harvard on Saturday next.
These victories mean much not Only to
Nebraska alumni, but to clean athletes
everywhere, since the scholarship rule Is
strictly enforced among the wearers of
the green.

Foot Ball Warriors.
BATTLE IS FIERCELY WAGED
Crelahtnn Excelled at Moat Points
. of ' the Cam sad' Tjnahlo to
Make Headway Against '
Kansas. ,
Kansa 8tat Agricultural, II; Crelgh-
ton, 0.
Playing It pony back field against th
heavy Jayhawk "Aggtea," Cretghton uni
versity was humbled to defeat yesterday
through two drop kicks and on touchdown.
Except for a brief period In the second
half the local eleven was on the defensive,
and at no tiro seriously threatened th
Kansas goal.
Th contest, particularly In the first half,
waa on of those game In which on ex
pect to see the losing teem simply Immo
lated, but a Kansas lost chanoe after
chance to score for one reason or another,
the conclusion finally came that Crelghton
was not to be wiped off the map after alL
In the second half, when heavier backs
were playing, the contest was much more
even and Kansas waa unable to make first
down and again, as In the first part of the
game.
The Kansa eleven may not be quite a
heavy as was claimed, but It Is a beefy ag
gregation, nevertheless, and the backfleld
is speedy. 8peer, on a klckoff after a goal
from drop kick, ran seventy yards through
the Crelghton team,' the sprint being the
prettiest seen at the Vinton Street gridiron
this year.' He has the correct Idea of open
field running, dashing past hi man and
never slowing up In attempt to dodge. He
thus flashed past tackier after tackier and
was only brought down by th Crelghton
fullback.
Forward Pa tTnaaccessfal.
Crelghton tried the forward pass with
out much success In the second, half and
showed either a lack of coaching on this
play or else Inherent Inability to make the
most of the trick. While Kansas mad
some good gains by the same play. Bates,
the .quarterback, elected to try the on-ld
kick more frequently, and thts did not al
ways result successfully. x
At straight foot ball Kansas excelled, the
heavier weight In the line telling consid
erably In Its favor In this matter. There
were not more than the usual two or three
debate over rule In th game, but an
unusual Incident occurred when Bowlby,
Kansas' left end, was disqualified for slug
ging. Kansas was also penalised half the
distance to Its goal line, the amount being
thirty-five yards.
Dro Kick 1st Five Mlante.
A drop kick by Bates five minutes after
play started mad th first scor. and a
touchdown by Christian later In th half
made It to a. Th other score came 'In
the second part of the gam on another
drop kick.
Kanaa lost three opportunities for other
scores in the first half, one through fall
ing to make the distance, once on a fum
bled forward pass and once when an on
slde kick was Injudiciously tried. In the
second half they were several times within
the twenty-yard line, but were now unable
to gain consistently.
Crelghton' defensive work was better In
this half, due in part to the heavier back-
field and In part to the vigorous remarks
submitted by the coaches during th Inter
mission. On fin point came up for the
referee to decide In this section of th
game. A Kansas man, trying to catch an ,
