GREAT VICTORY ESDS SEASON Nebraska Outdoes, Shock Troops and Rockne Regnlari. EVENS UP THE VICTORIES Largest Crowd in Nebraska Grid Hiitory Seei Captain Weir in Final Game Lead Hoik- en to Victory. WHAT COACHES 8AY. Knuta Rockne We did our best but the bet team won. Rhodss, Captain Walr, Stlner and Hutehl-aon ware tha outstanding playara for tha Huakara.

Nebraaka playad flna football and deaarved to win. Coach Baarg Notra Dam a playad flna football, and haa a hard, clean-playing football taam. Wa ara almply ovarjoyad to win ovar a taam of that calibra. Playing aa they bad never playad battling almost with frenzy, the 1925 Coruhuskers closed tbelr season In a blaze ot glory when tbey trounced Notre Dame, 17 to 0, before 41,000 apectatora on the Memorial itadlum field, Thanksgiving afternoon, tying the victories for the two teama, snatching away Knuta Rockne'a claim to a western championship and giving a fitting close to the grid careers of five of the Nebraska The men who laid aside their suits for the last time aa members of the Cornbusker aquad, were Captain Ed Weir, all-American tackle "of last year, Harold Hutchison, Ne. braska'a great center; Choppy Rhodes, the plunging halfback; Roland Locke, the spaed ace of tha squad; and Joe Woatoupal, playing center In the final game while Hutchison wai at guard.

It was a most fitting close, close that silenced any criticism that the Nebraska team of this year can not play football. When the final pistol shot sounded thoii-saads swarmed upon the field and surrourJded the team until it was Impossible for them to make their way thru the crowd. Captain Ed Weir waa hoisted on the shoulders of some of the Superior. delegation who were much In evidence in the stands and the crowd would not be silenced until he bad made a short speech. Thousands of people stood in the stands and watched the othera ewarm upon the field and engulf the victorious Nebraaka squad.

A Wonderful Game. It waa one of the greatest games ever seen on the Nebraska gridiron, the Cornhuakera outplaying the famous Notre Dame team from the klckoff until the final pistol shot, ecoring two' touchdowns In the flrat quarter, with two extra points for goals kicked and three points on a place kick in the third quarter to complete the seventeen It was "Choppy" Rhodes who shot ovar the chalk line for the first touchdown of the game after about four minutes of play. A. Mandery, halfback, scored the second touchdown when be raced thirty-two yards on a from Quarterback Brown and planted the oval where it counts a half dozen points. It was Ed Weir's toe that added the three points from placement when be sent the oval squarely between the goal posts.

If Ed Weir ever had a claim as an all-American tackle, and sports writers were unanimous over the country last year that he was one of the greatest tackles in the country, he surely stacked up evidence In the" game with Notre Dame Thursday that should enable him to be again proclaimed as one of the greatest tackles in America. Weir played with the agility of a tiger, rushing thru and smearing up Notre Dame plays, stopping" at tempts to go thru, his side of the line, outpunted Edwards, kicker for Knute Jtockne's team, and added to his feats by making a place kick SPEIER'S ireclang Sale Men's Out today Tlew Mctor Records Hats at $600 S05 I at $8.00, $9.00, $10.00, tC QC PDe(K trsrfianfiiwf 'V'uwanaT DONT bother to look over these Hat items-sunless you want to SAVE MONEY. 142 Hats-Including Our I GENUINE BORSALINO'S Think of Hata that formerly COflla sold for not less than 5.00 "Wreck- ing pric Cm 246 HATS Smooth, Velour and CfOC Rough finish formerly sold at 5.00 jT- "if and 6.00.

CHADRON, Nov. 26 Mc Kelvey 's magic toe which twice shot the oval thru the opponents goal posts for counters, and his sensational 40-yard dash down the field for a touchdown early In the second quarter enabled the Chad ron Eagles to wrest the state conference title from Peru here this afternoon by a 13 to 8 score. This win avenged the defeat o( Coach Wynnes' grldsters at the hands of the Bobcats in the championship tilt on the same field a year ago. The punting of BuetU senbach, giant Peru fullback, was one of the main features of the game, as was his Consistent gaining thru the line. Buettzenbaoh drop kicked over the Chadron goal in the fore part ot the second quarter, putting the Bobcats in the lead.

-When Buett. senbach kicked oft following hit drop kick, the speedy little Eagle quarterback seized the pigskin and dodged, sidestepped and stiff-arm ed his way thru and over the Peru goal line. The closing part of tha fray resolved down to a pure punting battle, Buettzenbach versus McKel vey. The Gagle quarterback from his 10-yard line booted the pigskin eighty-five yards, Chadron attmpted a place kick in the second quarter but failed Kummer, Spray, Garvin and Buck Ingham ran good interference foi McKelvey during the game.

2. Kearney nosed out McCook, 9 to 3, in a tough argument here today. A large crowd saw the battle. The garden rake has Its uses in Florence Blair, sixteen pulled two boys out of a pond with one when- they fell thru the thin ice while at Plattsburg, ONLY Extra blades 50c pkg 1 i I p'i-- 1 'wis- 1 '-IT 1'V i in ill iii iiiia La. rt3 shock troops.

He had seen other teama More on them and had seen his lirst string overcome a lead and win. The shock troops braced for a few minutes, and slowed the Huskers. Then the Huskers broke loose again. Rhodes skirting the end for thirteen yards and first down. Dailey added two more.

Rhodes made it three more. Then from behind the" line Brown shot a pass to A. Mandery good for five yards. Mandery nabbed It. and raced twenty-seven yards down the field for a touchdown.

Captain Weir's toe added another point First String In. On the' sidelines Rockne's first stringers began to shed their coats. Out trotted the whole first string to turn the tide of battle, but the Huskers were not to be turned. Rhodes on the first play after O'Boyle kicked off skirted the end for fifteen yards. The Huskers braced and held the first stringers on their attempts and Ed.

wards was forced to punt. Brown ran back thla punt thirty-five yards dodging and side-stepping tacklers but Nebraska Was penalized twenty five yards for clipping. The first stringers rallied and O'Boyle tried a place kick from the Nebraska 43-yard line but failed. A few yards more and O'Boyle flipped a Mlelena nabbed It and raced that thirty-three yards to the Notre Dame 37-yard line. The first stringers braced and held Nebraska on downs on the Notre Dame 27-yard line, but the first stringers could not get their stride, ana Nebraska naa tne Dan on ner own thirty-six yard line when the half ended.

One of the interesting features of the game was the fact that when Rockne threw la his first stringers, Coach Bearg near the end of the second half began to shoot in his second stringers and to give some of his first string men a rest. Some of the rooters were amased. Coach Bearg was putting in his second string men, against Rockne's best team. But the second stringers held them and when the second half rolled around Bearg again sent In his best men. Notre Dome Picks Up.

It wss in the third quarter that Notre Dame made her most threatening attempt. Rockne bad evidently given his team one of his famous talks In the dressing room for when they returned they began a fight that Notre Dame rooters expected to see take the ball down the field for a touchdown. Prelli, the only Portuguese football player In America as far as is know who went In for Hearndon at right half began to do things. He tore off eight yards thru the line. En-right made three.

O'Boyle took a couple ot raps at the llneJor five yards and this Prelli squirmed thru center and raced twenty-three yards, Brown, safety man throwing him and prevent'ng a touchdown. The racing Protuguese bad a clear field with the exception of Brown. Then they started giving the Huskers some more Prelli and O'Boyle but Ed Weir didn't like it He Bpllled Prelli for a 7-yard loss forcing Edwards to punt Prelli started again and then O'Boyle threw that pass near where "Jug" brown waslocated. Brown accepted the nabbed the oval and dodged his way back twenty-eight yards before the Notre Dame grldsters could bring him down i The Huskers, using- Brown, Dailey and Rhodes, Ed Weir on a tackle around play put the oval on the Notre Dame 16-yard line which enabled Captain Weir make his place kick. That finished the spurt of the Notre Dame team.

They had put all they had into the game. The third quarter was their best, the quarter where they for a time out-played the Huskers. In the fourth quarter the Rockne men had been whipped until tbey did not have' the comeback that they have shown time and again in defeating teams who have got the lead on them. The fourth quarter was Nebraska's all the way. They played a defensive game and kept Notre Dame safely out of the Husker.

territory during the entire quarter. When the final pistol shot rang out the ball waa in Notre Dame's possesion on her own 29-yard line. The Huskers had fought a great battle, Notre Dame once more on Nebraska soli had tasted of de feat and Nebraska, a glorious victory, as the curtain reH on the Jio football season for the Huskers ending the college grid career of STATISTICS 01 GAME.

Roland Locke, who has gained fame for Nebraska, on- the track, went into the game in the" last few momenta of play, in spite of an Injured shoulder, and gained ontwo line plunges before the final pistol shot The foregoing is a tribute to five men who" played their final game for Nebraska on the gridiron, but no man can be singled out as the man who won the game for Nebraska. The tribute must be to the Nebraska squad.

To every man Who wat aent Into the fray, Nebraska played a great game of ball. They played as a team apd won as a team, aa a squad. If there was any hitch In functioning of the Nebraska team It could not be observed' from the stands. Played Brilliantly. The Nebraska line performed superbly holding Rockne regulars and shock troops and battling them to a standstill.

The Husker back, field did brilliant work with "Chop py" Rhodes the outstanding man. A. Mandery played his greatest greatest game of the season, until he was hurt in the first quarter atter acoring a touchdown and furced to quit the game. Dailey. shone as a speedster and made a twenty-one yard dash down the field, tat the second quarter and also hit off soma other nice gains.

Brown, quarterback, ran back a Dotre Dame punt for twenty-five yards but Nebraska was penalised for clipping. He Was on the sending end of the forward pass that enabled A. Mandery to' score the touchdown, ran back another punt for sixteen yards. Intercepted one of O'Boyle'a passes and ran it back for twenty-eight yards, and squirm ed thru for thirteen yards before a plunge by Rhodes, another by Brown put the ball In position for Ed Weir to make his place kick, in the third quarter. Mleleni snared another of Notre Dame's passes in the second quarter and shot back for a gain of thirty-three yards, The Shook Troops.

Rockne, as has been his custom put in his shock troops at the beginning of the game, but within five minutes the Huskers had scor ed a touchdown. The first touchdown came after Ed Weir had won the toss, elected to defend the north goal. Notre Dame waa forced tp kick off against the wind. Roach kicked oft for thirty-five yards and Rhodes returned it eighteen to the Husker j-88-yard line. Ed Weir then sent a 60-yard punt down the field to Paristeu who was downed in his tracks on the Notre Dame 3-yard liner Roach lost- a yard and- Notre Dame was penallxed half the distance to the goal, Roach punted six yards out of bounds and Nebraska took the ball on the Notre Dame 7-yard line.

Rhodes made a yard thru center, made two more on an'-other try, and ran the Rockne men's left end for a touchdown. Ed Wlr kicked the extra point, and the score was 7 to 0. BU11 Rockne had faith in his for three points. Weir's tries for points after touchdown could not have been better. It was the clos ing game pi xxl weirs coiiegiate grid career and the star tackle of Nebraska never shown with greater luster than in the game against Notre Dame.

Choppy Rhodes brought to a close a grid career to be proud of. The Husker plunger broke thru the, N0TT6 "Dame line for repeated gains. Choppy Rhodes Vas not one of the four horsemen, but the galloping Husker might have made the Rockne men wish for the quartet of a year ago who rode rough shod over Nebraska at Notre Dame 34 to 6, when they saw him riding thru the line and plunging down the field for yardage. Hutch Oreat Player, Harold Hutchison, Nebraska's center, who has been -a menace to every team he bas played against on defense and who must go down as one orthe greatest centers that the Missouri Valley ever had, added luster to his grid career in the game be played Thursday.
