Nebraska university'" foot ball team inarched one step nearer to the vyortern champtanshlp hero this after noon by defeating Kansas, her rival for the last .twenty years, In a muddy battle by the score of 9 to 0. By their playing this afternoon the Cornhuskers virtually wqn the title of Missouri Valley cham pion. Tha Cornhuskers put up the same ex cellent attack that they displayed In the Minnesota same an doutplayed Kansas at all stages of the jamo with the ex ception of a short time In the third pe riod lyhen the Jayhawkera carried the ball to Nebraska's' twenty-yard line In four successive first down. The crim son and cream line held at this point and Howard' toe booted the' ball far out of dang)!1. Eight hundred loyal, Nebraska rooters, led by; ''Kooky" Amerman and Gcllatly. cheered their team to victory. After the Came, "U U-Unl,'.

The game was A great battler, between two great teams, and was watched by 7,000- person;, .Shortly before the game a light rain fell ami made the gridiron overt mo?a mu(ldy than It. was after the heavy rain Friday. ;Tne rain shopped Just before, the same, bujt -clouded skies made the atmosphere tnurky and unpleasant for the spectators. Toivle Scores Drop Klclc. Towle's drop-kick from the eighteen yard line early in the second quarter counted the first three points forStlehm's team. Mulligan, who was the most constant ground gainer of his team, smashed through the left side of tho Kansas line in the fourth period for the. only touch down of the game. Iong before this the Nebrnska rooters began to cry for a touchdown, but It looked as though the team would not be able to penetrate the ICanBas line. Halllgan's great play re vived the supporters spirits. Purdy's lvlckrOUt..for goal was missed, and tho score stood 9 to 0 for Nebraska. Mud No Handicap. Both teams were hampered In play by the slippery condition of the field, but Ilrtherford and llalllgan seemed to find the navigating easy In the mud and often la rled 4he Imll for good gains. The Kansans did not open up with tho for vnrd pass plays as was expected, but need the Mlunesota shift play in all of thill- offonslvo jday. Nebraska solved the shift in the Minnesota game and had little trouble In meeting tho attack hera this afternoon with the f amour Dart mouth formation. At no time iu the tjanib did the Jayhawkcr backs make a gain longer than twelve yards. I In 1 1 1 l'iii Hie htnr. The work of Halllgull spelled defeat for Kahsus university. The big tackle was In every play and many times he broke through the line, downing the Kan sas running before he reaclwd tho line of scrimmage. Itutherford and Towle also distinguished themselves. Towlo Hhuued his versatallty by kicking the wet ball over the goal from a difficult angle, itiirt Itutherford thrilled the upvctators wltii his streaming end runs. Captain Piirdy lotnjd the going hard and wsa not able to muke gains through the Kansas line. 1 1 it defensive plating, however, was of stellar quality.

Both teams suffered equally from penalties, each being set back twenty yards. ' Ilussell punted five times for a distance of 135 yards, and Howard sent the ball eighty five yards in two kicks. The numerous penalties against tho Cornhuskers' spoiled a charico for the team' to score In the first period, when the ball had been -worked to Kansas ten-yard line. CornUimUern Carry Ball. The Cornhuskers ' swung Into their stride In the second period and kept the ball In Kansas territory throughout. A fumbled punt by Greenlees put the ball on Kansas ten-yard line and when Itus sell kicked out, Towle healed for a fair catch on the' thlcty-aeventh-y(wid -sllne. TJie heady quarterback's free klclc for the' g6al went wide. Russell kicked thirty-five i yards In an attempt to put the ball out of danger, but the Cornhuskers 'were not to be stopped. Itutherford carried the ball ten yards to Kansaa university's forty-yard line, and Cameron, the running nate of tho mighty Halllgan, broke through the left side of the Jayhawker line for a pretty clghteen jord run, placing the ball on tho Kansas twenty-two-yard line. Nebraikn' Score from Kick. Itutherford and Halllgan were able to make but six yards and Towle signalled fQr a drop-kick. The ball was near the sldo-ltnes and the teama were standing almost ankle deep In mud. The spec tators on tho Kansaa sldo hoped that the muddy ball would handicap Towle and Nebraska rooters yelled encourage ment trf the little quarterback. Tho mud besmeared ball sailed trim from Towle'a too and went squarely botwen tho goal posts. The Nebraska roqters went wild with Joy. At this Btage of the game Coach Frank sent Wilson, who played such a stellar game at Uncoln last year, to quarter back, n place of Russell. The ball was punted back into Nebraska's territory, but the .work of Rutherford, Halllgan and Howard put the ball back within kicking distance of the Kansas goal and Towle tried for his second drnpklck The ball went fifteen yards wide of the goal.

Harvard practlcully brought three elevens Into play and 'the first string players, Logan, O'Brien and Trumbul, who went to Nw Haven . with Coach Haughton to watch Yale In ' action against Princeton, were not missed. Tho first Crimson team played only through the first two periods, making seventeen io!nts on touchdowns by lirlckley and Hardwlck, who put the bull over after a long forwnrd pass, and on Brlcklcy's goal from placement at thirty-eight yards. Brilliant end run ning by Mahan made tho first Crimson touchdown possible. His Ions dlstanoo-l punting gave Harvard repeated ad vantages in the exchange of kicks. Scrubs Work Wonders. The Crimson's scoring ambitions seemed Increased rather than diminished with the appearance of subs. A fumble by Gardner of Brown on his twenty-elght-yard lino waa rcco erl by Coolldgo and tho Harvard end curried tho ball to tho goal. Brttlo And Wllleta were towers of plunging strength in the new Crimson bsckflold, and, alternating In bull-llko riikhes, hammered the Brown line until Bottlo went over for another touchdown. Harvard's last ncore was a sensational oiio. MIIIh, sub-guard, caught the ball aftor fumbling It on a Brown klckoff, and eluding Brown's first and weconilary defense, raced nighty-two yards to the llrunonlan goal.

Crelghton university simply slaughtered the University of Omalia on the Crelgh ton gridiron Saturday afternoon, rolling up a total of 1M points, while Omaha never threatened Crclghton's goal line. Crelghton scored nlnteen touchdowns and kicked fourteen goala following touch downs. The game waa called after three min utes of play In the last quarter, because of darkness. Only forty-eight minutes of actual foot ball wcro played, the Crelgh ton team rolling up an average of about three polnta per minute. Omaha put up a gamo fight during; the first quarter, holding Crelghton to one touchdown, secured after ten minutes of play. After that, the Black and Bed went to pieces, and the first half ended with a score of sixty points for Crelghton. Another sixty-eight points were added In the final half, and darkness prevented the Blue and White from running the score higher. Crelghton was much heavier than Omaha. Blotky proved the only bright spot In tho Omaha lineup. Ho replaced Adams at left end, and played a stollar game. He was the only Omahan able to down the Crelghton backs at the secondary defense, The much vaunted forward passing of Omaha waa a failure, although they trlod this stylo of play exclusively. They tried thirteen posses In nil, only one going for a short gain. Crelghton used the forward for big gains, and out of thirty-three, passes, fourteen went for a guln of IKS yards.
