Goaded on by the dull monotonous yell of "stonewall" from the stands, the Nebraska forwards rose to the occasion and hurled back, Kansas' further attempts at the line.

The Jayhawkers were held for distance. There on the two yard line Howard drew back for a punt. The pass waa true; Howard kicked. But the kick waa blocked from behind the Nebraska troalv line. Fate directed the ball and It fell, hot behind the line but in front.

It was recovered by Swanson. Howard on the second attempt- punted to safety; What would have been the result! had the ball fallen within the goal line and there covered by a Jay-hawker is conjecture. Fate once more directed and that in the very opening. Maglll, speedy and sensational quarter back of the visiting aggregation, waa injured in the play following the kick off in the very opening of the struggle. On Maglll rested the speed department of the team.

But he was so badly injured that he had to be taken from the game before it had really started. Wilson who took his place played good at quarter, but Wilson waa only a substitute and his work could not command the confidence of the rest of the players- that the presence of Maglll could. An Honorable Defeat Summing it all up, Kansas did not merit the defeat reserved for it The line, though lighter than the Corn-(tuskers', was impenetrable. Consistently thj forwards fought back, the same plunges which carried Purdy far through the Michigan line of last year. The end held down in the persona of Price and Captain Brownlee were redoubtable.

On the back field, however, depended the Kan sans' work. Martin, Steuwe and Detweiler, halt backs and full, played viciously In advancing the ball and backed up the defense of the line firmly. Weidline, who was responsible for Kansas' only score, was a star, both as a forward and a kicker. Ills field goal from, the twenty yard line was perfect. If figures of the game are to be telled on, should have been the victor.

Wilson outpunted Howard, Penalties also added much more to the Jayhawkers' total distance of advancing the ball than it did to Nebraska's distance. Besides, Kansas, except in the first and lust quarters, carried the ball from the snapper-back probably twice the distance as did Nebraska. Tho first quarter was undoubtedly the Cnrnhuskers' The locals advanced the ball farther and held nearly every attempt of Kansas at distance. The second and third periods, however, were just as unquestionably Kansas. On advancing the ball Kansas doubled Nebraska's distance.

The Kansans did not play tho opin game. Nebraska did. Therein lay thi difference. Forward passes did not play a significant part in the contest. Kansas attempted six, one for twenty yards' one for three yards, one for a Nebraska touchdown and all others failures.

Nebraska attempted five, one called back by the referee and the others failures. The one called back was attempted following a kick off, Towle to Howard, but was disqualified. Towle caught the ball on his one yard lino and It was from this position that Howard euosequently carried it thirty yards and Frank later seventy, A Penalties. had fix WIN FROM MINNESOTA, TWO1 TOl'CHDOWNS AKD GOALS SCSI OF SCORING.

A touchdown on a line smash by Tandberg, early In the second quarter, followed soon after by touch down by Captain Hoefel on a forward paaa from Gillette, on both of which' occasion Utllette'a trusty toe added a point on goal kicked, spelled the first story of the defeat of Minnesota's team.

Both were easy chance and came In the second period.

Flynn, the tall full back of the Yaie team, was the first man to make a score. In the first period he kicked a goal from placement from within the twenty-nve-yard line. Princeton surprised Tale by, the aggressiveness of her attack and the strength of her defense. Tale's line had been heralded as being almost impossible of being penetrated, but the Tigers nearly every time they smashed Into It made a gain. The trouble was they could not keep up the terrific pace, and weakened as they neared the Tale goal line.

Although Howard sided Frank In getting away on his long run to vic tory, it was not Howard who made the run. The performance of Frank in the open field, dodging and evading all Kms tx-Hes. was pi Hilton a any one play since Johnny Bender madcHils famous sprints. In maklnt the run, Frank used the tactics of his older brother Owen, Nebraska's premier half of last year. Cutting through tackle in the hole made by Howard and Swanson, Frank doubled back In his very tracks and ran In front of th- secondary defense, stlff-armlng and dodeiiie all comers.

He fairly ran swy from the Kansas backs and prettilv dodged Wl'son, Kansas quarter, who made a brilliant but futile effort tn stop him. Other Good Work.

After fblllng to gain by two smashes against tho Princeton line, Flynn kicked a beautiful goal from placement from the twenty-live-yard line. The perlnl ended with no further scoring. Princeton scored a field goal early In the second period, also as an indirect result of a fumble. The period opened with Yale in posesslon of the Falling lo make any Impression on the Tiger line, Flynn punted and the kick was almost Immediately returned by Waller. Quarterback Wheeler, who was back to receive the punt, let It silp through his arms and Andrews, the Princeton left end, fed on It.

"Stew" Baker made four yards against the left side of the Yale line, and then "Hobey" Baker dropped back to the thirty-live yard line and booted a neat held goal, tying the score at 3 and 3. The third score which placed Princeton In the lead came late In the third period. After an exchange of punts, Princeton worked the ball on good rushes by DeWItt to within ten yards of Y'ale's goal. Here the blue line held and Captain Pendleton called upon 'Hobey" Baker Jo try for anothed' goal It was easy for Baker, the ball going directly between the goal poats from the fifteen yard mark. The third period, except for the uncovering of the unsuccessful forward passes on the part 'of Yale, was uneventful.

Then came the last, In which Princeton's hopes rose as the minutes passed, only to be suddenly dashed by Pumpelly's goal. Hew the Battle Wa Waged. Yale took the goal with the wind at her back li.

Fnunllv dood was his defense.

When Kansas v. as trying a series of forward passe? In a last desperate effort to bring victory, Purdy cleverly spoiled the first two. Howard was away, for a touch-lown on the third. Towle, who relieved Potter at Muarter back at the opening of the fourth period, again demonstrated his ability as a field general. As the case In the Minnesota game, Towle had hardly entered the game before Nebraska play opened up.

His two goal kicks following the touchdowns were true and the ball passed over the center of the bar neither too high, nor too low. In Nebraska's line Swanson was a lemon. Besides assisting In openlne (he hole through which Frank raced his sensational run, Swanson was In the game all of the time. Whenever there was a fumble behind the Kan-as line, it was always Swanson who covered the ball. On several instances he made good distance on tackle around plays.

As for the rest of the line, its work was neither better nor worse than the rest of Its work during the season. Herman at the opposite tackle from Swanson played his usual consistent gam. The guards and center however comparatively weak and play af- kT play by ahe Kansas backs went through for distance. Luck Againat Kansas. No matter what the score, luck was decidedly against Kansas.

Three times victory seemed in their grasp only to be snatched away by a trick of fate, once the ball was on Nebraska's one yard line.

Two smashes gained Wisconsin a yard and the quarter ended with the ball In Wisconsin's possession on her own forty-seven-yard line. Wisconsin In the last quarter failed to gsln on three trials and Gillette kicked to Minnesota's fifteen-yard Una Two line smashes by McAlmon and one by Blerman made first down by Minnesota. With Hayward working Blerman and McAlmon behind ths shift, Minnesota again made first downs. The ball often changed hands, but there was no further scoring.
