NOTES FROM THE GRIDIRON.
All interest now centres on tho
Thanksgiving game at Omaha when Ne
braska and Iowa lock horns for suprem
acy. The interest is intensified oven in
the face of difficulties. The team has
been unfortunate, but Coach Robinson
and Manager Oury have done phenom
enal work in making something out of
nothing. Nebraska expects to win the
pennant and she will have to do it by
piling up a large score against Iowa. The
status of the league has changed but
very little although tho events of the
past week have not helped to brighten
the outlook for Nebraska.
Kansas ought to beat Missouri easily.
Iowa beat Kansas on a fluke and Ne
braska beat Missouri.
Kansas has some very fine material,
with probably the strongest line of any
western team with some very strong
backs; having two substitute backs that
are fully equal to any men on the regu
lar team behind the line.
Hector Cowan, although graduating
from Princeton in '89, has coached Kan
sas for three years and keeps fully up
with all the new plays.
Iowa is the heaviest team in the
league, composed of players of experi
ence. Their backs, too, are men of ex
ceptional ability. Holbrook, the negro,
who plays one of the backs, is said to be
a whirlwind in defensive and offensive
play.
Bull's work is showing up well. Penn
sylvania's latest scientific plays are cer
tainly eliminating any weak points in
the team.
Missouri is coached by Patterson,
a. substitute for Yale last
year. He baa no new plays or systems,
afs) thus far has been very unsuccessful,
hajrisg failed to win any games at all .
It'iaccess is a criterion for judgment of
aofsjBJa, it certainly looks as though
thsytSMpnot asJrell provided for as the
otlMr WMftMflbri, however, has a
BtroajrrlffcfVHftAPtYery weak in the
backs, with the exception of one; the
others, through injury, have been un
able to get into the game.
Nebraska's condition for the Thanks
giving game is an uncertainty. The
team puts up a quality of ball on one
day that can not be beaten and on
another of being totally unable of doing
any good work at all. This can be attrib
uted to the fact that the team is com
posed of new material. Mr. Robinson
the coach, has done more than any
coach we have ever had; he has made
something out of nothing. His ability
is unquestioned and within the next two
weeks he will have the team in such
shape that they will in every respect be
the equals of Iowa.
"Lincoln will send a noisy crowd of
Nebraska "rooters" fire hundred strong,
ad promise many interesting events.
Many coaching parties of Omaha society
people have been arranged.
NOTES FROM THE KANSAS GAME.
The fraternities at the university gave
a hop for the Nebraska men. They re
port fine treatment. Turner, tho manly
fellow with the auburn locks, was the
idol of the ladies and only for the strict
orders from Coach Robinson he would
have indulged in many frivolities.
Nebraska played a good defensive
game but were totally unable to advance
the ball excepting by the punting of
Thorpe and Packard.
Whipple is getting in good form
again. He went in tho second half and
played a brilliant defensive game. His
tackling was invariably sure and hard.
Kansas played their new tandem play
using both guards. They also kicked
three goals in a way entirely new to Ne
braska. The quarter touching the ball
to the ground and holding it in tho air
to be kicked.
BUTTENEBRASKA GAME.
Thursday afternoon Nebraska met
defeat at the hands of the celebrated
Butte Giants, at M street park, by a
sore of 20-6. Even though somewhat
one-sided, the Nebraska mon ft-It proud
of being able even to score against
them.
The Giants aro tne cracks of the
west and are composed of as fine speci
mens of brawn and muscle as ever
played on the gridiron. Nebraska
hardly expected to win against them.
She did nobly, however. Denver failed
even to score against them, and Ne
braska's 6 points was a surprise to
them.
Butte won the toss and kicked the
ball fifty yarcs into Nebraska's terri
tory. Thorpe returned it in fifteen
yards, and Nebraska lost the bail on a
fumble. Butte took the ball and puehed
it close to Nebraska's goal line. Ne

the end of the first
ed in keeping the
ball well down the field and time was
called with the ball within thirty yards
of Butte's gcal line.
In tho second half Butte increased
the speed of play and Nebraska held her
down to two touch downs; both kicks at
goal failed. Laswell was not in good
form and missed two easy goals. Thorpe,
Shedd and Benedict diQ BcRflJRttfoome
nal tackling in the second hallRck
ard retired early in the game and Jones
took his place at right half. Jones baa
recovered and is getting his old form
and is showing up well. Butte's quarter,
Bensen, retired in the second half and
Sullivan took his place. Nebraska's
line could be successfully assailed at
any point.
Butte's tandem interference was
superb and told heavily on Nebraska's
line. The rapidity of play was phe
nomenal. The game was well attended but the
result was not surprising considering
the relative standing of the teams.
