LINCOLN, Oct. 23. (Special Telegram.) Nebraska and Iowa battled to a tie. rt to t. In a fierce cams on the new Corn , hueker gridiron this afternoon. The Uawk- .' eyea cored their polnta on two drop kicks In the opening half and the Corn - huskers made their atx on a touchdown ' - and goal In the second half, after the '. charging backs and powerful line had car rled the ball for thirty yards on straight foot ball. The Hawkeyes could make no trains against the dogged defense put up ' ' by the heavy Nebraska line, and only the toe of Right End Kyland saved them from a shutout His two successful goals were .': made from the twenty-five and thirty-five- " yard lines. - During both halves he attempted ten .- drop kicks, but failed on every attempt but these two In the first half. Two mln- utes before the game closed he had -i " chance to win the struggle for his team ' when the Hawkeyes had the ball on Ne -.' braska's fifteen-yard line. From that place ... Hyland tried a drop kick, but the ball went very wide of Its mark, and the lest ; chance of either side's scoring was gone. .- Nebraska lost many yards on fumbled '" punts In the first half, and It was the failure of Hascall to get one of these -.. that gave Hyland his chance to boot the i ball over the crossbars for a goal. Has - call was new at quarter, being placed :'. these instead of Bentley, who was Injured s In the Minnesota game. . He failed to hold V the ball on several occasions and this - fact probably caused Iowa to get the lead H In the opening half. In contrast to Has .'.' call was Quarterback Fee of the Iowa eleven, playing his first game for the Hawkeyes. He ran his team well and made excellent returns of punts, being re sponsible for great gains In both halves. Iowa Oatkleka Nebraska. In the exchange of punts Iowa had great Advantage, Collins booting 'the oval for better distances than Beltser, and the Hawkeyes being more successful In return Ing It. The forward pass was worked with good effect by both sides and each team made one big advance by resorting to an on-slde kick. A forward pass from Fee to Hy- lnd, on which play the right end ran to the Nebraska twenty-yard line, where he was downed by Captain Beltser,' resulted In Hyland's second drop kick. Captain Beltser played the best game of his foot ball career today, saving his goal line twice. His first brilliant feat was In running up from behind and downing Hyland on the twenty-yard line.. In the closing minutes of the second half he caught Fee on the Cornhusker's twelve- yard line after the fleet little quarter . had carried the ball seventy-five yards In re turning a punt, and was in tlie clear for a touchdown. The Cornhusker captain played aggres sive ball all the time and was In every play. Nebraska's line, from tackle to tackle. gain played a wonderful game, and Iowa found it Invincible. On the other hand the powerful linemen of the Cornhusker side plowed through the Iowa defense tot good gains. Walk Throagk Lin. ..Nebraska's , single touchdown ' came In the last half, through the hammering and battering of the backs Into the slits opened In the Haw keys line by the heavy Corn buskers. From the thirty-yard line, the Cornhusker went down the field on Straight foot ball, driving the backs through tackles and center for a touch down. During that period their play was Irresistible. Twice on the defense, the line made a heroic stand; once in the first half. after the Hawkeyes had gone to the Nebraska ten-yard line, the Cornhusker front was forced to hold on its one-yard line. Ia the waning minutes of the game. when the Iowa men, after Fee's long run had the ball on Nebraska's ten-yard line, the Cornhusker line held like a stone wall. Hyland, Gross, Fee and Murphy played star ball for the Hawkeyes. Oross was in the game every minute, and on punts was one of the first men to tackle the Corn' husker who received the ball. Hyland kept his end protected from runs. Fee was a sensational player at quarter, and but fW his wonderful rurmlng. the Hawkeyes must have lost. Murphy drove hard at the line, but his efforts were futile. Hhonka, center for Nebraska, played an other of his spectacular games and was one of the Nebraska stars. Chauner, who gut in the game In the second half at rush end. was a whirlwind In getting down c punts and in tackling. Temple, Jlarte, Ew'tng and Wolcott played up to the stun a a id they set In the Gopher contest. Uagur and Johnson played well at ends.' Ri.:h bone's plunges in the second half were ground gainers and did much to bring Nebraska's touchdown. Frank Does Well at Qaarter. Frank replacvd Hascall at quarter In th second half and ran the team in fine e.yle. Ilia work. on the offense was brilliant. Th .low a, team the Cornhuskers met today was an entirely different one from that whk playad Minnesota three weeks ago. Inen It wa green and crippled. Today It was fresh and strong. Coach Griffith ald it played the best ball he has seen a Hawkey, eleven put up in years. The game was a clean one and neither side had a man seriously injured. O'Brien, center for Iowa, was badly bruised, but sustained no Injury that will lay him up. Despite the fact that Nebraska was hard pressed, the Cornhuskers did not tCoatlnueil on Second Page.) KANSAS SIMS GREAT FORM Rons All Over the Lighter Wash- ington Team from St. Louis. LINE HOLDS LIKE STONE WALL Reeeat Shifts Cans Great Improve- meat Gam Demonstrates that Kleven Has Two Good (aaarterbaeka. LAWRENCE. Kan., Oct. 2S. (Special Telegram.) Today on McCook field, the heavy Kansas foot ball team defeated the Washington team of St. Louis by the de cisive score of 23 to 0. The Kansas line held at all times like a stone wall and tnly the fast work of the St Louis backs and ends kept the score from going ' hlgner. Kansas made two touchdowns in eaoh half and Captain Fleasant kicked three goals. The feature of the game was a fifty yard run by Lovett, the giant Kan sas guard, after he had broken through the light Washington Una. One of the touchdowns was the result of an onslde kick and the other two resulted from line plunges. The Washington backs were fleet end gained many yards. They also knew a few points about the forward pass .and out of a dozen trials worked it success fully ten times. Kansas tried little open playing as the heavy Jayhawker line does well at the old style play' and most of the gains were made by line -plunging. ' The recent shift in the Kansas line worked well.' The new ends played an excellent game and the line was snappier yand charged quicker than formerly. Thecoches are well satisfied with the result of the shifts and the lineup Is probably, fixed for the rest of the season. Hell who subbed for Johnson today played a brilliant game. Johnson cannot punt or return kicks any better than his understudy and Hell dis played almost as much generalship as the Jayhawker star. Coach Kennedy feels bet ter over the showing of Hell than over any other part of the game and Johnson may be moved to half so as to give Hell a chance to play the gamer The game today developed the fact that Kansas had two exceptional quarterbacks to use in the hard games, later on.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct 2S.-In a raggedly-played game this afternoon Harvard defeated Browne, 11 to 0, "the home team scoring in each half and twice successfully defended its own goal when touchdowns by the visitors seemed almost Inevitable. Forward parses were carried more suc cessfully than In any other .game on Soldiers' ' field this season. Harvard out kicked' Brown, and the Crimson line, when fully realising their danger, stiffened bet ter than In any other game so far. Both scores came within a short time after the Harvard goal had been threat ened. In the first half Frotham in Har vard's backfield, dropped a punt on Har vard's thirty-five-yard line, from which point Brown pushed the ball to the two yard line, where the ball was lost on downs. After an exchange of punts Har vard secured the ball on Brown's twenty-five-yard line and by . successive plunges carried it over f)r the first score. This action was repeated In the second half,' but this time Brown managed to get within a foot of the Harvard chalk line before reluctantly relinquishing the ball on downs. - Mlnot carried the ball over for the second and last score for Harvard. The goal was missed. O. Browne of Harvard snapped a tendon and will be out of the game for the rest of the year. Lineup: HARVARD.

The game between York High school and Kear ney High promised to be one of the best contested games of the season. Kearney, fresh from victories over the crack western high schools, was confident and put. up a game that won for them over other good teams. rThe game was called at 8:46 p. m. York won the toss and chose the goal favored by the wind. Kearney kicked off and in the first mlxup Charles Myers, one of the largest men on the York team and one of the best players, had his .collarbone broken and was taken out' Coon Medlar, a substitute, was put in. In the first half Kearney did well in holding the score down to 8 to 0. In the second half the stronger work of the York team commenced to tell and throughout this half the ball was nearly all the time In Kearney territory. The York team showed great skill in breaking up plays and when any of the open, trick or forward passes was made usually a York man was there and Kearney downed or York secured the ball. ' In the last ten minutes of the play Captain Wright, star player of Kearney, was in jured and taken out of the game. When the whistle blew York had sixteen more to Its credit, making a total of 24 to 0 In favor of York. Kearney was clearly outclassed and at nearly every stage of the game was out played.

WISCONSIN BEATS INDIANA Badg-ers Defeat Hoosiers by Close Score of , Six to Three. ' WLLCE IN SPECTACULAR , RUN Cardinal Player Intercepts Forward Paas aad Dashes Seveaty-Flve Tards for a Toaca down. MADISON. Wis., Oct. 21 Five thousand people at Randall field this afternoon braved freexing weathetr to see Wisconsin lower the colors of Indiana, I to I Wis consin's touchdown- was made in the first half when Wllce, who played the kind of foot ball which gives birth to eollege tradi tions, intercepted a forward pass and ran seventy-five yards for a touchdown, Moll kicking goal. It was a beautiful run and went far to reconcile Wisconsin enthusiasts to their defeat by Chicago last year when Steffen brought the victory to Chicago with a run only twenty yards longer. ' Indiana's score came In the latter part of the second half, and it came when In diana ' had narrowly escaped, being scored on a second time.' Culver of Wisconsin had broken through for a fifty-yard rua and Indiana by a desperate play had held on its seven-yard line. An exchange ot punts, a fumble and an intercepted forward pass gave the ball to Indiana In the center of the field. Cunningham. Gill, Paddock and Cartwrlght here sprung several .of Coach Sheldon's plays which had been held back for a promising moment The 'ball was carried to the twenty-yard line, where Wisconsin held. The ball was passed back to Gill, standing on the ' thirty-yard line, and he dropped kicked a . goal from the field, scoring Indiana's only points. ' The first fifteen minutes' of the game gave neither side the advantage, neither being able to secure, a first down. Indiana, nowever, L.aying with frantic energy, gradually worked the ball 'well Into Wis consin center. With their opponent's goal In sight the handful of Indiana enthusi asts began crying: "touchdown, touch down." Cunningham thereupon essayed a forward pass, but - Wllce . coming, forward at full speed intercepted It on the thlrty-ftve-yard line, and aided by splendid - Interference, got by Indiana's tacklers and ran the last thirty yards without obstruction. Moll kicked goal. To Its ability to execute the . forward pass for short but sure gains Wisconsin owned Its best gains. Wisconsin apparently has solved this new department of foot ball. Those who saw the. Chicago-Indiana game of two weeks ago "and who also saw today's game compare .Wisconsin to the disadvantage of Chicago In attacking the line.- Culver. i Futck, Wllce, Moll and Buser broke through Indiana's : line re peatedly for tains which the Chicago backs two weeks ago .were unable to negotiate successfully. Indiana's end was noticeably slow in getting down under punts, allow ing Wisconsin gains which It , otherwise would have missed. Roberts and Winters were always well down under Moll's punts and GUI's returns were seldom of any consequence. On punts Wisconsin, had much the better of it, GUI apparently being out of form. ...
