DEFEAT MAY MAKE
NEBRASKA ELEVEN
Walloping Administered by
Kansas May Prove Tonic
for Cornhuskers.
WHO GETS CHAMPIONSHIP 7
By FRED S. HUNGER.
There is a lurking suspicion that
the defeat of the Cornhuskers at the
hand of the hated Jayhawk at Lincoln
. Saturday, may have been a good
thing.
Defeat has been the making of
many a foot ball team, perhaps it will
prove the tonic that the 1916 Ne
braska eleven has been needing all
year.
Not since the fall of 1912 had Ne
braska tasted defeat. That year
Minnesota licked Stiehm's men. In
1913, 1914 and 1915 the Cornhuskers
bowled over such worthy opponents
as Minnesota, Michiga Aggies, Notre
Dame, Iowa and all the Missouri Val
ley schools. Not since ivw had We
braska lost a Missouri Valley cham
pionship and not since 1909 had Kan
sas so much as scored a touchdown
against the Cornhuskers, let alone a
victory.
Nebraska went into the game Sat
urday with a brilliant record behind
it. Kansas followers were predicting
a victory for their hopefuls, but they
waren't risking any even money, they
were demanding heavy, very heavy
odds and not Detting mucn at tnar, lo
Nebraska supporters a hostile victory
seemed remote. It probably occurred
to the team itself the same way. And
it is at times like these that defeat
is a good thing.
Punch Is Lacking.
.Nebraska had been playing all fall
i brand of foot ball that failed to
bring results. The Cornhuskers won
over the Kansas Aggies, 14 to 0. They
won over Ames, by the narrow margin
of 3 to 0. In both games they gained
a great many more yards than their
opponents. They did that against
Kansas," too. But it was when the
ball was in the middle of the field,
many yards away from the goal line,
that Nebraska earned its yards. It
played a great game then. But when
ever the pigskin was in striking dis
tance of the enemy's goal, the punch
immediately disappeared.
That showed there was too much
confidence on the part of the players,
not that quiet confidence in the abil
ity of the team to win, which is al
ways a valuable asset, but an indi
vidual confidence, which means the
men weren't playing together. Each
man was playing for himself and such
playing seldom wins foot ball games.
Show Real Fight.
Four times Saturday the Cornhusk
ers fought like wildcats. Those four
times Kansas had the ball within ten
yards of the Cornhusker goal. Those
four times the Huskers realized how
desperate the situation was and they
1 pulled themselves together and played
real foot ball. The Huskers have the
foot ball in them, but they haven't
been playing it.
It is not surprising, however, that
the Huskers have been over-confident.
The student body, irf fact, the
entire state, has been overconfident.
A bare handful of loyal rooters from
Kansas Saturday made more noise
and showed more spirit than the
hundreds of Nebraska rooters. Too
much prosperity has ruined many a
man, and it looks very much as if it
put the blink on the Nebraska foot
ball team last Saturday.
Iowa Becomes Favorite.
As a result of the defeat at the
hands of Kansas, Nebraska will go to
Iowa City to battle the Hawkeyes
next Saturday with the odds on the
Jones' crew. Iowa has a fair scoring
machine this year, it proved that by
running up nineteen points on Ames
and scoring on Northwestern. Ne
braska couldn't score on Ames, it
didn't even come close. So the dope
reads that Iowa will score on Ne
braska, while Nebraska won't be able
to score on Kowa, unless it should be
by one of Captain Tim Corey's place
kicks.
But that Kansas defeat, we reiter
ate, may be the making of the Husk
ers and they may upset the dope by
exhibiting a powerful scoring ma
chine at Iowa City. Stewart may be
able to teach his proteges to show
the same fight when they approach
the enemy's goal line that they show
when the enemy approaches their
goal line. The defeat may make it
possible for him to drill that fight into
them and if it does, as it has with
, many other teams, Nebraska should
win from Iowa and give Notre Dame
a stiff tussle. But if the defeat has
the other effect, a tendency to dis
courage, good night.
The result Saturday makes the Mis
souri Valley championship a beautiful
affair. Nebraska was defeated by
Kansas. Kansas was defeated by
Anies.v Ames was defeated by Ne
braska. Missouri was defeated by the
Kansas Aggies and the Kansas Ag
gies were defeated by Nebraska. If
the Missouri Valley must award a
championship this year, we'll give it
to Drake, it lost every game.

IOWA MUST WIN, THOUGH
Nebraska will wallop the spots off
Notre Dame it's a cinch. It will be
easy pickings for the Cornhuskers,
the dope as applied by the reverse
English process so popular this fall
will prove it. Lend an ear and we'll
slip you the inside info that can't go
wrong.
The University of Minnesota
started the 1916 season like a tornado
and went through South Dakota and
Iowa like the Germans through Bel
gium. Minnesota was about a 5 to 1
favorite over Illinois. So Illinois
copped the combat hands down.
Illinois then went up against Ghi
cago, which hadn't beaten anybody
except Indiana, and ranked about
.000. Illinois should have handled
Chicago like a mountain lion would
handle a canary bird. So Chicago pro
ceeded to wipe up the entire state of
Illinois with the Illini eleven.
Wisconsin, it will be remembered,
spanked the protegees of A. Stagg,
30 to 7, and didn't strain any ten
dons doing it. So Minnesota ate up
Wisconsin, 54 to 0. Figure it out for
yourself. ' i
Princeton played Harvard to a

Auburn Out of the
Southern Rac as It
Loses to Vanderbilt
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19. Auburn was
eliminated,from the race for the foot
ball championship of the Southern In
tercollegiate Athletic. association yes
terday, when it lost to Vanderbilt, 20
to . iwo unoeteated elevens remain
in the running Tennessee and
Georgia Tech. Those two teams do
not meet.
Tennessee defeated Suwanee today,
17 to 3, and Georgia Tech beat
Georgia, 21 to 0. Tennessee has one
more hard game that with Auburn
on November 30. Tennessee has
passed the trying part of its schedule
and should have easy sailing for the
remainder of the season.
The Vanderbilt-Auburn game, the
big game of the south, was won by
excellent use of the forward pass The
Auburn team outrushed its opponents
during the greater part of the contest
and had a 9 to 7 lead when the third
period began. Then two perfectly
executed throws resulted in two Van
derbilt touchdowns within a few
minutes.
Morrill and Scottsbluff
High Elevens Battle
Morrill, Neb., Nov. 19. (Special
Telegram.) Morrill and Scottsbluff
High schools battled out the high
school championship of the valley
here today on a gridiron covered with
six inches of snow. Scottsbluff won
a hard and bitterly fought battle by
a score of 6 to 0. Morrill High
played the visitors off their feet dur
ing the first two quarters, carrying
the ball once to Scottsbluff's three-
yard line and thrice to their ten-yard
line, Dut lacked the necessary punch
to score. In the third quarter Scotts
bluff braced wonderfully and carried
the ball through the left side and
around the left end of its opponents
for a touchdown, the only score of
the game. Immediately following the
game William Walsh was selected
captain to lead Morrill's 1917 squad.
Coach Schissler's Team
Makes Fine Showing
Kankakee, III., Nov. 19. (Special
Telegram.) By defeating the unde
feated Eureka college eleven, 42 to 0,
today, St. Viator college clinched its
claim to the championship of the Illi
nois Intercollegiate association, under
the tutelage of Coach Schissler, a Ne
braska man, former coach of Doane
college.
.St. Viator has developed the most
wonderful scoring machine ever seen
among the Illinoisstate colleges. The
team has a clean slate of six games
won and in these contests has scored
367 points to their opponents' 13. It
also holds the world's record for
points scored in one game of 205 to
Lane college of Chicago's 0.

to win. 3 to 0. So when Yale wan
dered to Princeton the odds were
heavy on Princeton. The Tigers
looked like the best team and the ex
perts agreed the animal would ruin
the bull dog. bo ale promptly took
Princeton to a cleaning.
Brown had never defeated Harvard
in the history of the two schools.
Harvard had a great team and was
expected to make mincemeat for the'
1 hanksgtving dinner, out of rollard,
the big dinge half back, and the rest
of the Brunonians. So Brown only
beat Harvard, Z to 0, and was kind
and generous to keep the score that
low.
Tufts started out the season by
slipping Harvard a dose of defeat.
Then the schoolmasters barely beat
Indiana, 12 to 10, and got walloped
by the Springfield Y. M. C. A., 13 to 0.
Nebraska defeated Ames, and Ames
defeated Kansas. So Kansas defeated
Nebraska.
Nebraska has been a favorite over
Iowa all year. That is the only weak
spot in the dope. Nebraska must get
licked by Iowa. If Nebraska gets
trimmed by the Hawkeyes, it's a
cinch. Notre Dame will come to
Lincoln a y to 1 tavonte. It will
be even money that Harper's men
will win by a score or two of touch
downs. It will be even money the
only way for the Cornhuskers to
score would be, to have the entire
Notre Dame team drop dead. And
that, according to the way the dope
has been running these beautiful fall
months, will make it a cinch for the
Cornhuskers to trim up the Catholics
on Thanksgiving day.

MAY HEAD NATIONAL BASE
BALL COMMISSION
wy
VniMAW' C. TBMPIr.
William Chase Temple, millionaire
base ball fan, and known as the
"Father sof the World's Series,"
is considered a very probable suc
cessor to Garry Herrmann as chair
man of the National commission, ac
cording to reports current in base ball
circles. Mr. Temple, who at present
is at his winter estate, Winter Park,
Florida, has been a base ball enthusi
ast since 1876. He was the donor of
the famous "Temple Cup" for the base
ball championship in 1894, 1895 and
1896. He formerly owned the Pitts
burgh Pirates, but got out of active
participation in base ball affairs in
1894. It is said that a majority of the
base ball magnates favor Temple. An
other point in his favor is the fact
that he does not believe the chairman
ship of the National commission
should carry a salary with it.

alienated from her the affections of
Ernest, who, she asserts, was her
fiance. She had previously filed
against Ernest a suit for breach of
promise.
The charge against the elder Cla

Estelle, who continued the case for
further hearing. The suit against

The car swerved and plunged twenty

SURPRISEJN BIG 9
Defeat of Illinois and Victory
of Minnesota Are Two
Upsets.
PURPLE ELEVEN POWERFUL
Chicago, Nov. 19.-r-Foot ball elevens
of the "Big Nine" came through Satur
day's games with only one upset the
defeat of Illinois at the hands of Chi
cago. Northwestern disposed of Purdue
and kept its slate clean for the cham
pionship game with the undefeated
Ohio State eleven at Columbus next
Saturday. Ohio State had already fin
ished its conference schedule, with the
exception of the clash with North
western, and had little trouble over
whelming Case.
Chicago Springs Surprise.
Chicago, twice beaten in the confer
ence race, sprung one of the biggest
surprises of a surprising season by up
setting Illinois. The Maroons romped
away with a 20 to 7 victory, leaving
Illinois, a two to one favorite, com
pletely stunned. The down-state
eleven, which two weeks ago caused
a surprising upset by trouncing the
powerful Minnesota eleven, had been
regarded by critics as a certain win
ner. ,
The come-back! of Minnesota was
one of the surprises of Saturday's
schedule. The Gophers gave Wiscon
sin the worst drubbing in twenty
years.
Northwestern revealed the full
strength of its reserve power in its
game with Purdue, Beaten 6 to 3 at
the start of the second half, North
western opened up an amazing dis
play of forward passes and sweeping
end runs and scored four touchdowns
in the third period within twelve
minutes. i
Indiana Star Out of Game.
Indiana kept its star out of the
?;ame with Florida so as to send its
ull strength into the annual game
with Purdue next Saturday. The
eleven from Dixie did not prove for
midable to Indiana.
Outside the conference, Michigan
met Pennsylvania and got its second
defeat of the year. Howard Berry,
the powerful fullback of the eastern
ers, was responsible for the downfall
of the Wolverines. 1
Notre Dame faced a stubborn foe in
the Michigan Aggies, who held the
Indiana team to a 14 to 0 count.

Army Beats Springfield
In Last of Home Games
West Point, N. Y.. Nov. 19. The
Army beat the Springfield Young
Mens Christian Association training
school yesterday in the last home
game of the season, 17 to 2. The
cadets have gone through the aeason
without a single defeat. The visitors'
attack lacked drive and power and
their line yielded at critical times.
The West Point men also were ragged
in their work. Oliphant made some
sensational dashes, culminating in his
touchdown and goal. Vidal's long
runs and his pretty field goal from the
thirty-yard line also were features.
Cole was thrown behind his line for
a safety in the last period.
