Nebraska's honorable defeat by Minne
sota Saturday, 13 to 0, looks humiliating
u trie, observer, 'Who must get his en
ure conception of the. struggle from the
bare score and from those reports which
borne of the Gopher scribes hastily pre
pared for early editions of the Sunday
morning papers. Nebraska was defeated,
but It was hot licked; there is a differ
ence In the meaning of these words to
the mind of one who follows the game
of foot ball. Defeat is accepting the
narrow end of a score after making a
brave and even fight; while a' licking is
fitting a thorough demonstration of the
team's superiority at your own expense.
Nebraska took a defeat Saturday; not
a licking. It was only the last fleeting
minutes of the game, too, that decided
that the Comhuskers should have defeat
Luck thought a long time before finally
deciding that Coach - Williams . should
have another victory, and then, deciding
'. so, it fled from the Comhuskers, and
MeAlmon shot ninety-five yards over the
iurf for a touchdown, seven points and
a clinched victory. But a flash before
Nebraska stood on the Minnesota five
yard line, ball In hand, hammering the
line and threatening to go across' the
final chalk mark for a score of six points
a certain tie and a chance to try for
goal, which being made would have
meunt seven points as a total against
six for the Gophers. With less than three
minutes to play, the Gophers never could
have overcome this lead.
Nebraska Near to Victory,
When this game Is discussed, the near
ness of victory for Nebraska must be
considered; how a shade ot hick , took
away a Stlehm triumph; how a pretty
forward pass, which had been working"
havoc in the Gopher ranks, slipped up
In its execution and turned outstretched
victory back Into darkest defeat-all these
.must be rogardtd In connection with this
great game.
None of those 8,000 spectators on North
rop field 'discredits Nebraska's play-In
the least. Going off the field, hundreds
of them were heard to declare that the
t'ornhuskers had played a magnificent
same, arid that the contest was one of the
best that Northrop field had ever wit
nessed. They were all glad they had seen
the exhibition and many of them, though
Minnesota supporters, deolared there was
much luck In the victor.
In recording these facts, no attempt to
take credit from Coach Harry L. Will
lams and his players Is intended. It was
a splendidly drilled eleven that the Gopher

Instructor sent against the Comhuskers.
The backs played powerful ball, and "dis
played speed, skill and strength through
out the contest. , They carried the ball
repeatedly for eight, ten and twelve
yards and were only stopped by the game
secondary defense of the Stlehm eleven.
The Gopher line, too, played splendidly,
and, of course, was more than the equal
of the Cornhusker forwards.
. Beat by Gopher Line.
It was the superiority of this Minnesota
line that beat the Comhuskers, for time
after time the Gophers threw the Corn
husker forwards out of the way and
opened holes through which four men,
abreast, could march. The center trio of
the Comhuskers crumbled before the at
tack. On the defense the Nebraska front
permitted the Gopher backs to go through,
and many, many times It was a Gopher
forward who, coming around back of the
line, checked the advancing Nebraska
backs as they were racing away with
the ball for good gains. If the Nebraska
lino, had been equal to the Cornhusker
backs the game would have ended a de
cisive victory for Nebraska.
Coach, Ewald Stlehm took the defeat
as a personal blow, for he , felt that his
men should have won. He had them well
coached, and they executed some ex
cellent plays. Their use of the forward
pass was one of the brilliant features of
the entire contest, and in this department
Nebraska did much better than the
Gophers. The Comhuskers broke up
Gopher attempts at forward passing, and
early In the game proved to Williams that
Minnesota could not gain much through
the ball In the air game.

struggle, It Is easy to see that the Corn

Winston-Salem, N.C.
The forwards could not make hoies, and
the Comhuskers-seldom gained through
the Gopher front The forward pass and
end sweeps were used so effectively when
they were tried that it seems strange
they were not called into play more often
It is hard to believe Coach Stiehm did
not see the advantage of them; in fact
he did know they were not being used
enough in the last two quarters, and 11
was because of this condition that he
called Quarterback Potter from the game
and substituted Towle, with instructions
to "open up." Potter had generaled the
team splendidly,, but he was too con.
servatlve. He was afraid to take a
chance, and the Comhuskers, therefore,
lacked the punch which meant scoring
and victory. If the Comhuskers had
opened up their string of ball-in-the air
plays sooner and had played them as
well as they did in the fourth quartet
they would have won. How well they
used them is shown by the gains they
made in taking the oval from the center
of the field to the five-yard line in the
last quarter.
.Nebraska ends did not do as well as
they should. Mast! n played fine at times
and he seldom hesitated on plays, but
dove ltno them and broke them' up. His
quickness in going In after a play both
ered the Gophers a great deal. Howard
did not gt in fast enough and often
was thrown out of the way by the Go
pher backs whenever a play was headed
his way or whenever a fake lie nplunge
was attempted.
Nebraska backs were worked hard all
through the game. Purdy was the bril
liant star of the' team. His dashing runs
and plunges through the line were fea
tures that rank him among the western
foot ball stars. Halllgan, still a little
new at the jame, did well, but shows
that he has a little to learn. Befoce
the end of the fall he undoubtedly will
be a star. The Nebraska backs not only
worked well on the offense, but they did
gallant work on the defense, stopping
Gopher ' runners after , these men had
passed the line and were making down
field. This, double task, playing well ' on
the offense and being called on for much
defensive work, tired them out, and it Is
a wonder they played as well as they
did in getting off the attacking plays.
Shifts lAnssle Cornhnskera.
Mineeota's shifts and split interference
plays wrought the real havoc with the
Nebraska line. One of the plays was a
fake In which the men shifted, then
deceived by seeming to send a man to
one side of the line drawing up for a de
fense there, the man with the ball really
going through tackle on the other side,
usually finding an opening. Another
play, in which the Gopher quarter held
the ball for a few seconds and then
passed it to a half, who shot through at
center, gained many yards. The Gopher
forwards divided the Nebraska line at
center, making a clean hole there very
wide. The Gopher backs and ends took
care of the Nebraska ends. This con
dition left each side of the Nebraska line
cleanly divided and boxed. The half
with the ball then raced through an
opening and had to be brought down
by the backs, but only after he had
plunged forward for a good gain.
Against a strong line the Gophers would
have been unable to carry out these
plays.

HARLAN, la., Oct. 20.-(Special.)-By
the score of 39 to 7, Western Iowa Voca
tional college trailed the colors of the
University of Omaha in the dust yesterday
afternoon before a large and enthusias
tic crowd. v During the first half of the
game it looked as if the team from
Omaha would have a comparatively
easy time of It, but the -.ocats traced up
and after that plowed through the
visitors' line for long gains. The day
was ideal for. foot ball.
The one bright feature of the game
was the playing of Claudefelder, the
former Mornlngside college star. Time
and again he would carry the ball for
five and ten yards after being tackled.
For the crimson and black Rachman and
John Selby starred, the former in carry
ing the ball and the latter in opening up
big holes in th? opponents' line.
Omaha wou the toss and Captain Selby
chose., the south goal. After a minute
and a half of play LIssenger broke away
for a touchdown. Within five minutes
Paul Selby got away for a touchdown,
the last one for Omaha. The half ended
with the score 13 to 7 in favor of West
em Iowa, ' ,
In the second half the locals started
scoring and walked away with the
game. Omaha's high tackling was ono
reason for the large score. Lineup:

OXFORD FOOT BALL TEAM
OXFORD. Neb.. Oct. 20.-(Speoial.)
The Arapahoe High school foot ball team
and the local high school team met on
the gridiron here yesterday afternoon.
The game was fiercely contested from
start to finish. 'Oxford made one touch
down , and Arapahoe made three and
kicked goal once. Arapahoe's team aver
aged about fifteen pounds heavier to the
man than the Oxford team. The most
sensational plays of the game were the
use of the forward pass, and the end
runs by tfte Oxford team, but they were
unable to withstand the line plunges
of .their heavier opponents. Referee:

IOWA CITY, la., Oct. 20.-(Special.)-Iowa's
foot ball squad came back here
late last night after its gruelling battle
with Stagg's team on Marshall field Sat
urday afternoon. The team almost to a
man is in execellent condition and the
thoughts of Iowa doposters now turned
toward Minnesota, say Iowa is going to
give the Gophers one of the best scares
Ames or Iowa has ever betn able to ten
der. - Confidence in the team's ability to
show Minnesota a fierce game for hon
ors Is being evidenced on every side here,
for it seems to be generally agreed in
opinion that Minnesota can't be any
worse than Chicago, even though It would
appear on print that Chicago was bad
enough. Coaches and those who witnessed
the 34 to 14 Chicago victory of Satur
day, give great credit to the Iowa foot
ball team. Having Chicago whipped for
something like fifteen or twenty minutes
is something that aggregations out in
this neck of the woods don't frequently
perpettrate.
Then again Iowa followers to the
Windy City say the Hawkeyes can still
count on McGlnnis, ' Parsons and Dick,
the much dependable back field of tho
Iowa eleven and they decry , the ability
of Coach Stagg to only put forward Nor
greln as the Maroons only dependable
ground gainer, after Bennett went out of
the game. It will be just as easy for
McGlnnis and Dick to make their gains
against Minnesota as it was Chicago,
they "say here, with chances for even
bttter progress as Hawley's ability to
resurrect a team after a hard earned de
feat is well known and counted upon
here.
Secret practice will probably start on
Monday afternoon. Just what ' Hawley
will lay .out for a schedule is not yet
known, but" it is believed few new ven
tures to the game here wll be made, the
coaches rather laying stress on the plans
already laid out. The line must be
strengthened, and from this it appears
tie back field is going to get its good
share of rest in tht next five days. None
of the players on the line need patchin
up as far as their physical condition is
concerned, no injuries of a serious na
ture having developed In the maroon
struggl. Hanson will be in the game.
This has been assured from his ability
to stick the Chicago game through and
his return with no bones broken anew.
That Iowa must be counted upon as
a serious proposition in the big nine
fifht this 'year is something- Iowa stu
dents are now demanding and little ap
prehension remains as far as the Ames
game is concerned, for Iowa believes its
stato honors are cinched not counting
unlooked for disaster. The team leaves
for Minneapolis Thursday night.
