, LINCOLN, Oct. II.' (Special.) The an
nual battle between the Cornhuskei k and
the Gophers Is the one sole topic of in
terest at the I nlverslty of Nebraska, and
speculation is ' rife concerning tiie. out
come of the first crucial game on the Ne
braska schedule. There Is a sentiment
among the undergraduates at Nebraska
quite different from that which Is usually
round belore the big Minnesota game, for
it is believed that Nebraska will defeat
the. northerners.
Such a sentiment hardly tinda basis
in the comparative scores of the games
played by Minnesota and Nebiotka, dur
ing the lat few years, tn tact, the- Corn-
iiutkers have but a slender t.ircad upon
which to hang .their hopes of- victory.
During t:ie last-Vten seasons the Corn
huskers and Gophers have met annually
and in but one game have the Cornhusk
eis succeeded in humbling ilieir northern
foe. beginning In i:Xl the reculu of the
games Here as follows:

In the ten ganea played Minnesota has
scored 152 points, while the Cornhuskers
have scored but 35. In six. of the ten
games the Cornhuskers have 'failed to
crobs their opponents' goal line. The vic
tory In 1903 -waa attributed to lack of
training on the part of the Gophers by
the Minnesota papers, although it seems
reasonable that the northerners simply
met their match.
Just why the Cornhuskers are ao san
guine over the outcome of the game Is
hard to figure out. It is true that the
showing of . the Cornhuskers against the
Kearney Normal waa very promising aa
compared with the low score of the Minnesota-South
Dakota game, but in the
Coyotes the Gophers bit oft one of the
toughest propositions In middle west toot
ball. Tha South Dakota back field is
faster than any in the west. In the opin
ion of many Cornhuskers. and this is ac
countable to no small extent for the ter
rific battle on Northrup field a week ago.
It la surprising, too. what remarkably
low scores the Gophers pile up In the
preliminary game. Foxy Dr. Williams
apparently haa a method to his. madness,
for without exception when Nebraska has
expected to make an excellent showing
It haa fallen down miserably, while the
years when it was expected that the
Cornhuskers would be smothered has al
ways seen Nebraska giving the Gophers
a terrific battle.
Only a glimpse at tha records is neces
sary to reveal this condition of affairs
A still stranger situation is revealed when
examination la made of the Missouri val
ley records. When Nebraska has uu
the undisputed title to the Missouri val
ley championship It has fallen before the
prowesa of the mighty Gophers, but on
three separata occasions when the season
in the Missouri valley resulted disas
trously to the Cornhuskers It has had
the balro of a low Minnesota score.

school eleven triumphed over the husky
York high school lads by a scure of 12
to 6 cterday afternoon at flourke

Twice In the last half Omaha crossed
the York goal line with the ball and the
Oinslia rooters went wild; hut Mr Far
land, of York, who officiated an umpire,
re-funed to allow either play to be scored
a touchdown, ruling In one case that
a photographer on the field had Inter
fered in the play and In the other that
there had been off-side playing.
Omaha was penalised time and again,
their penalties totalling eighty-five yards
against thirty-five for York. Rachman at
left tackle for Omaha waa ejected from the
field in the fourth quarter for disputing
a decision of the umpire. Both teams
frequently resorted to punting and the
game was marred by much fumbling.
Rector outpunted Osborne, York's kic ker,
averaging forty-five yards on his punts.
York Scores First.
The first touchdown came at tha be
ginning of the second quarter when Frald,
fullback for York, broke away for a
ninety-five-yard run and a touchdown on
a fiuke play. "York fulled to kick goal.
Neither of Omaha's touchdowns came un
til the second half and things looked
mighty gloomy for Omaha after the first
two quarters had been finished.
"Eggs" De Lamatre at left half was
the particular star of the game, although
he did not get tn until tha second quar.

early In the third quarter, when h re

Rector at fullback also played good
games, Rector making a gain of from
five to twenty-five yards every time be
waa called upon to carry the ball. Bow
man played bard and mads tha seoond
touchdown for Omaha in the fourth quar
ter. The whole team worked all tbe
time.
Froi at fullback, Onborne at quarter,
and Wldcman at left half were the par
ticular stars for York, Osborne getting
the plaudits of the entire crowd with a

The police arrangements had been so well 1

crowd numbered upward of W.fliv people,
and probablv would reach nn.my).
Bv T o'clock 50o persons were In line
behind the vanguard which hml endured
the sllwlght vigil. Eight patrolmen, a
