Chamberlain is Greatest Foot Ball Player Missouri Valley Ever Saw Guy Chamberlain, left end on the Uni versity of Nebraska foot ball team. Is the greatest foot ball player the Missouri Valley ever saw. This, perhaps, may sound to you like a sweeping 'assertion which takes In a little too much territory, especially If you are an admirer of Johnny Bender, Vic Ilaillgan, ShonHa or some of the other stara of the past, but If you will look up the record made by Chamberlain thia year you will have to concede the point. IndlHputably and unequivocally. Cham berlain Is the greatest ground gainer, who ever dug his spikes Into the tvuf of Ne braska field aud Nebraska field has seen some wonderful athletes In Its time. And just a unquestionably Chamberlain Is tha bett ground gainer Nebraska sup porters ever saw, not even excepting Johnny McGovcrn of Minnesota, who was n AH-Amerli an player. If Walter Camp considered Juhnny McGovrrn an All Amertcan man and he dtd-thn name ot Chamberlain tltuuld nrvr cm-apt him this year, although It probably will be cause C amp would iied a I.lck lclraioH to see into the uncKplort-d ami uncivilised valley of tho MUourt, if past actions ran be accepted as holding god, this ear.

SCORE SURPASSED BUT ONCE Captain Mohan Endi Hit Foot Ball Career in a Tremendous Blaze of Glory. BINGHAM MUFFS PUNT EARLY CAMBRIDGE?, Mass.. Nov. JO. Another Harvard foot ball machine crushed Tale, 41 to 0, today, surpassing all previous scoring records against tha El is. Although the fighting spirit which Tom Phevlln Imparted to the TaW eleven Just previous to the victory over Princeton, was still in evidence. It availed tha Blue nothing. The savage rushes of the Bull dogs occasionally checked tha Cambridge advance for a moment, but after the Initial period of the game the result was never In doubt and Interest among the Harvard clans was centered tn tha stse of the score that the home university eleven would run up. Record Crlmsoa Tally, Their hopes of a record Crimson tally against the Blua were not disappointed for before Captain Mahan and his team mates completed their final day's work of the IMS foot ball season, they re corded the largest total ever scored by a Harvard eleven against Yale and the largest, but one, ever mado In this esat ern foot ball classla, which dates to 1876. More than twenty years ago, In 1884, to be accurate. Tale defeated Harvard, 48 to 0, and had today's game continued for a few minutes longer these figures ould havo In all probability, been equalled or surpassed. As It was, the contest established sov eral new records for the series, for dur tn the triumph of Captain Mahan's team, which was even greater than that of the 1914 eleven under the leadership of Charley Britkley, Harvard scored Its first touchdown against Tale in the stadium since that structure was erected twelve years ago. ' Mskis'i Star Work. In addition Captain Mahan closed his foot bsll career with a wonderful dis play of gridiron ability, during which ho made four touchdowns and five goals from touchdowns for a total of twenty nine points, which Is said to bo an In dividual record for this series. Assisted by a splendid team, Mahan romped around and through the Ell eleven for gain after gain, apparently not a bit hampered by the allppery and un certain footing of the stadium .turf. Ma han stood out above the other players of the Crimson machine, but Watson King, Harte, Boles and Boucey, all shone In the perfect combination play of Haughton's gridiron steam roller. Across the line Scovll. Ouernsey. Black, Way. Allen snd Captain Wilson, were the heroes of a desperate but unavailing stand against the charges of Harvard. Ths afternoon was far from Ideal for foot ball. A chilling gal blew out or tha west carrying tha punted balls at varying speeds, which made perfeot handling of It almost Impossible. The wind spared nona of the 60,000 spectators who sat huddled with furs and heavy woolen wrap and many war forced to leave or seek sheltered nooks from which they say only portions of the contest. The gridiron was wet and slippery from th heavy rain of yesterday and at time the players lost their footing. Harvard Wlna the Toan. First Period Harvard won th toss and chose th favorable west goal. Guernsey, after the wind had twlc blown th ball off th "t." kicked to th ten-yard line. Mahan promptly punted Into Yale terri tory, and after gaining seven yards on two attempt Ouernsey returned, his punt going to Harvard's fifteen-yard line. A penalty for holding set Harvard back to Its two-yard mark and Mahan kicked again. Yale began rushing from Its forty-three-yard mark. Guernsey waa thrown with out gain, but Wilson want around th Crimson right to Harvard' twenty-five-yard line. On th second play Yal lost th ball on a fumble and Mahaa Immedl tately punted. Btngham muffed th punt. which th wind blew erratically, and Hart, grabbing th ball, ran thirty-three yards for a touchdown. Mahan missed gcal. Score: Harvard, ; Yale, 0. King ran tha second klrkoff back to his thtrty-five-yard line. Three tries mad , less than five yards, and Mahan punted. cards and spades and then show him up. Yesterday Chamberlain played one ot his usual great games. And a glance at the statistical table will quickly show just how important a part Chamberlain played In ths Huaker victory. The Int end gained Just 258 yards for th Ne braska team In addition to the gains he made through forward passes, either from the starting or receiving end of tlie psss. Gaines have been won when whole trams made less than 258 yards and Chamberlain performed that feat unas sisted. How many other foot ball stars can boast of a record like that when playing as strong a team as Iowa, is? At Kansas it was the same thing. It may even be Chamberlain made more than 2! yards against the Jay hawk. In the Notre Durao gamo It was all Cham- ibcrlain. Chamberlain alone gave No- braoks, victory over bouih Bend tliat day. And It waa Chamberlain uge.ln who tnafe monkeys out of th Ames Aggies.

A poor pas went over Guernsey's head to the twenty yard mark, and then Guernsey punted ta mldfleld. Mahan's return was a touch berk, and again Yale waa forced to kick. From th Harvard forty-threa-yard mark King In two tries made seven yards and on a delayed pass broke throiirh center for th first down on Tale's thirty-eight-yard line. The same play netted Mikhaa. nine yards and King made It flrat dor gain. Walden replaced J. Sheldon. ' Another trick sent King to Talns'ten yard mark. Guernsey hurt his right arm tackling th runner anj Chatfleld Taylor took the star kicker's place. Mahan made th three-yard line on a fak kick. King barely gained at center. Tal offsld cost half the distance to th Una. Mahan then grabbed a poor pasa of th ground and turned Yale's left for a touchdown. He kicked goal. Score: Harvard, IS; Yale, 0 Way kicked off for Yale and Bole cam back to th forty-two-yard line. Mahan punted out of bounds on Yale's twenty-one-yard line. Two rushes gained, six yards and Taylor's attempt to emu late Guernsey went less than twenty yards. Harvard was on Tale's forty-three-yard mark when the period ended. Score: Harvard, 1; Yale, 0.

On a de layed pass and end run Harte added nine more. Way then stopped two attempts at his position and Gates went in for O, Sheldon.

Scovlll fought th entlr Harvard team and gained a Ion yard. Wilson punted and Harvard rushed from the thirty-five yard mark. Boucy tried left end, but Hcovtl nailed him. Taylor was hurt and Roberts took his place. Mahan and Kins managed to make a first down on Har vard's forty-six-yard mark.

Third Period Savas appeared aa Yale's quarterback when th second half opened. Mahan kicked off against tho wind and Wilson tor back to his thirty yard line. Boles replaced Horveen. An exchange of punts followed short galna by both teams. "Fighting" Scovll did most of th work for Yale, It usually took two men to stop blm and thro to hold him.
