SPORTING SECTION THE LINCOLN SUNDAY STAR A A A SUNDAY EDITION FIFTEENTH YEAR. LINCOLN. NEB, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1916. FOUR PAGES HEU BY THE Ul OF FOOTBALL RESULTS I The Little Tigers' Football Team Suspects a Strange Guy of Hanging Around and Trying to Swipe Their Signals. Nebraska Forced to Exact Satisfaction From Trio of Touchdowns.

Played Ragged Football When on Offense, But Goal Line Was Not Threatened. "CY" SHERMAN. The Nebraska Ccrnhuskers anol Poach Kline's -Methodists from Nebraska Wesleyan collided yesterday afternoon in their annual gridiron encounter on Nebraska field. The ultimate record disclosed that the Huskers had compiled a 21 to 0 victory, but no award for peacock feathers can legitimately be made to the warriors representing the state university. Dr.

Stewart, head, coach of the Cornhusk- er clan had anticipated an exhibition of punk football as a result of the Portland joy-ride and the consequent layoff from practice and his fears were realized, to the limit. The alibi that the Nebraska eleven presented a string of substitutes will not apply because af the plain fact that the Huskers lineup was reg-ulnr in almost every position. Only Caley, Moser and Riddell 3f the first-string performers were from the battle line. The pro- teges of Dr. Stewart simply were all guilty of playing slovenly football.

Their defense baffled the Methodists, but the offense was distressingly lack- ng and the punch which makes the touchdowns was noticeable at internals altogether too infrequent to please the Cornhusker rooters who had anticipated a lop-sided triumph over the iggrregatlon from University Place. The certainty that Amesygrgie scout prould be in the stands--a presumption which -was verified by the day's devel- jpments--doubtless factored in the in- ibllity or refusal of the Huskers to up a more decisive total. The pro- egres of Dr. Stewart were under instructions to resort to the stingiest of plays which the exig-en- of the' contest would permit, and he Huskers, as a result, were content hurl just a' few end runs and line )lunge formations and just a few pass's at the "Wesleyan warriors. Johnny playing at left halfback, directed he Cornhusker attack and followed nstructions from the head coach to he letter.

The Nebraska offense did lot spring any of its fancy passes un- 11 the final quarter, when two bril- iantly executed forward flips were into a brpce of touchdowns. These two passes, In truth, were the inly spectacular flashes displayed by he Huskers all afternoon. Cook and )obson, the two Nebraska halfbacks, lid the bulk of the ball lug-ging- and uily two-thirds of the total yardage eeled off by the Nebraska ag-grepation esulted from the rushes of these two ilayers with the pig-skin. The Facts and Figures. Statistically, Wesleyan was decistve- outplayed in every department of he game but in the punting and In eturning punts and kickoffs.

Cozier ooted the ball superbly for the Meth- dists, while Culbprtson, the "Wesleyan uarterback, nabbed the Nebraska icks and ran them back with almost rilliant results. In smashing; ahead the ball, the Huskers had the dvantage by a material margin. The tatistics, compiled from detailed notes every play, disclose that the raskans pained a total of 304 yards in is rushes with the oval, while the Tethodlsts covered only 79 yards. The tuskers executed 16 first downs and Vesleyan only three. Nebraska at- only five forward passes, four which were successful and netted 7 yards.

Wesleyan failed on 11 nd succeeded none which netted the lirnsy total of four yards. Penalties ost the Cornhuskers a total of 15 ards, fhiie the Methodists were set nek 25 yards. The Huskers gained 09 yards on kickoffs and punts and ie total for Wesleyan was 455 yards, 'he Huskers did more booting of the all than the Methodists and the ad- antage in the kicking- was in Coz- T'S favor. Xebraska's returns of punts etted 79 yards. The total returns by ie Methodists was 105 yards.

Wesleyan supporters explained that the pparent bulk and beef of the Me'h- Jlsts was due mostly to padding-. The -eights, at any were virtually en and any advantage which the Husk- rs mlgrht have possessed on the score poundage was not material Coach line brought a team composed largely green plavers onto the field. Tney ere outplayed so decisively as to justify 3 excuses -with reference to the merits the "Wesleyan defeat, yet the Meth- Jists battled gamely from whistle to histle and the Huskers gained no at any stage of the combat with- it the expenditure of all the vim and ght they could inject into their attack. he limit placed by Coach Stewart on ie offensive tactics of the Cornhnsker an undoubtedly operated to hold down ie score, yet It cannot be gainsaid that lat-the Huskers right soon discovered lat they were not participating in a 'a party, but.

Nebraska's' Tackling Ragged. The tackling by the Cornhustcrs wag painfully ragged and Cameron, playing at center and Shaw were about the only HuBkers who gave a creditable "exhibition I in that department of the game.

"Cook and Dobson canted the ball with superb efficiency, whenever the Cornhusker forwards cared to open holes I in the VTeslean line or the backs pro- interference, but tne brand foot- ball displayed by the Nebraskans was decldedlv below par and quite lacking in the quality which will be needed next Saturday if the Huskers a-e to succeed in flaying the Ames Aggies and annex- ing another Missouri valley ti'le.

C. A. Wisconsin Beats Chicago and Illinois Goes Ahead of Perdue. CHICAGO. Oct.

2S-- Michigan and ilin- npsota stood out tonight as the two powerful western' elevens, with Wisconsin close up, Yost's machine was p-parod up to beat Syracuse while Michigan's maigin over the Methodists was only a scant point, a victory was all Yost ever diired hope for and will boom his stock for the Cornell clash. The other inter-sectional game today indicated to football experts that Tufts lias been pointed for the Prlncpton (jame as her 12 to 10 dpfeat of Indiana n'as riot Impressive. Indiana has not ranked high In the western "Big Nine" conference, and wasn't eleven given a chance in today's contest. Wisconsin, as expected, beat StasgT his Maroons and scored another point for Harvard coachlne: In the west. The Badgers' 30 to 7 victory over Chicago just about settled Stagff's team for 1916 and he will now start to build for next year.

Iowa Swamped. The most startling- exhibition in the Nine" today, however, was Minnesota's 67 to 0 victory over Iowa. The Gophers have been whaling minor unmercifully and, a big reduction in the scores was expected when they struck the stronger teams. Iowa is stronger than in years, but Minnesota scored at will against them today. Minnesota has yet to meet Wisconsin and Coach on has pulled a strong team together for the Badgers, but odds will be on Minnesota" when the two meet.

Northwestern the only other un- be.xteti team of the "Big Nine," had J-n easy time with their win over Drake, while Illinois beat Purdue. 14 to 7. Figuring Minnesota as the possible winner in the "Big Nine," the question of the western championship will not be settled, for Michigan still avoids the "Big Nine" teams and no games will be played which will render a. comparison possible.

The Crimson easily by 23 to 0, thereby pulling the sting out of last year's defeat at the hands of the Ithacana. The Cornelll.nn line was battered to nothingness early and the visitors' back- ficld completed their own rout by 'nces- sant fumbling. Kddic Casey and Horween plunged through Cornell's defense almost at will for consistent grains. Shlvtrick, Cornell's quarterback, alone made three fumbles. Eddie Casey played particularly bril- liMH football.

Tn the second quarter he got started off tackIS and pnded up on ncore side of the goal line with six Cornell men bringing 1f him. Mlnsrd gobbled a fumbled in the last period and carried it fl-ver for another touchdown.

A Missouri valley championship i hinges on the outcome of the battle next Saturday afternoon on Nebraska Hold between the Cornhuskers and the Iowa i Aggies from AmeH.

Should Dr. Stewart's 1 proteges succeed In trouncing the scrappy eleven developed by Coach Mavser. Husker claims for a seventh consecutive championship would be recognized throughout the valley. The coming will see the itiffest preparation off the season in anticipation of a smashing battle with the Ames warriors.

Coach Mayser has apparently developed the strongest team reprosant- ing the Aggies In the lant six years. In weight, the Huskers will have a. slight advantage both on the line and In the backfleld. but Ames boasts of an ta- tack which lugs a punch, while the two ends hax-e been able to smother nt- tempts to circle the Aggies' wings. It Is practically a veteran organization which Is representing Ames.

For the first time this year the Husk- era expect to face a team which lias demonslrated Its ability to play open game. Owing to the contestant changes and the new style of play, the Huskers have been retarded in rounding Into full speed but by next Saturday Nebraska, should be In shape to offer Its full strength Jimmy Gardiner, the former Omaha hlsh school stnr. has a little score to settle -with Aldrlch. the fleet footed hack- field star of the Aggies.
