A bunch of men alluded to as "cornhuskers" by the light-minded were responsible for the tragedy. Xehras ka ca me to Minneapolis with the Intention of winning, and she won It was a fair and square defeat, and Minnesota has no excuses to offer save in the Injuries to some of her men. The gophers, although far from being "outplayed at every point," were outplayed in enough departments of the game to let Nebraska score one from which Ben edict kicked a goal. From the standpoint of the average spectator the game was uninteresting in many ways. Nebraska took time for injuries to her men so frequently that during the first half it was freely predicted that the visitors would weaken before the end of the game.

In the second half Minnesota also showed the effect of the fierce struggle, and the consta nt delays made the contest slow and tedious. To the student of the game the contest was mo st interesting. It was fought to a finish from the beginning of the second half to the end of the seventy minutes of play. The teams were matched evenly enough to prevent a score by either eleven until in the last Ave minutes of play. During mo st of the first half Nebraska was on the defensive during the whole of the second half Minnesota was fighting hard to protect er goal line.

Gophers' Line Inferior. The gophers' line showed up poorly by comparison with their beefy opponents. Captain Westover was a tower of strength on the right side of Nebraska's line, breaking through repeatedly and stopping plays directed at the tackle or end. Is one of the strongest, If ot the strongest, tackle in the west. Minnesota's center failed to hold against the fierce rushes of the oornhuskers, especially in the second half.

True, Captain Johnn ie Flynn was bothered with a stiff knee, which prevented him from playing his usual strong game at guard. Still, it must be admitted that Minnesota's line all through did not show up as strong as the visitors. "Webster, pitted against a man who outweighed him by many pounds, was unable to stop the fierce plunges of Mickel throu gh center. Strathern played a gritty ut not an aggressive game. Anothei gre at point of weakness shown by Minnesota was in er tackling, particularly in a broken field Much instru ction must be devoted to this point of the game if Minnesota is to make a showing against Iowa, Illinois, "Wisconsin and Michigan.

In play in a broken field, the Nebraska men showed up better all around. Their runners got good protection from the other members of the team, and their tackling was superior. In short Nebraska won because of better physical condition, by superiority in play in a broken field, and by the greater strength of her The defensive work of Minnesota's backs was fairly good, and their ends were little inferior to Nebraska's although Rogers was not able to play his best game, and Gray sometimes overran his man on punts. Nebraska's ends sometimes blocked off Rogers aiyl Gray from following down Knowlton's kicks, but after Umpire Allen had penalized the visitors fifteen yar ds for holding, the Gopher ends got down well, and mo re than once downed Benedict in his tracks. On the whole Karris managed to gain more ground returning punts th an Benedict.

Nebraska Has Strong Team. Nebraska showed up strong. Their attack was slow, but the team is ve ry evenly balanced, the interference holds together well, the line charges hard on the defensive, and there Is no point of material weakness in the team. Nebraska probably would have been beaten Saturday by "Wisconsin and Michigan, but she would have held her own against any other member of the big nine. Gophers Below Championship Form.

Minnesota is far below championship farm. There are many openings for ldsm, but there Is still no reason to believe that the Gophers will ot make a splendid, showing before the end of the season. The criticism was made by one of the Nebraska players that Minnesota flTJlt during the second half, but this hardJy appears justified. Webster, Flynn, Vlan Valkenberg, Rogers and Knowlton were really not in shape to play, and the fact that Nebraska scored at the last minute was apparently due to the fact that the Gophers were sore and stiff and unable to get Into the palys. Admitting the defects in Minnesota's play, there is no reason for despair on the part of the Minnesota rooters.

On the contrary there is every ground for hope that the Gophers can win all of their games from now on, save those with Wisconsin and Michigan, and In the latter two even Minnesota still has a good fighting chance. I is evidently no time for "Knocking," but for united work, and the team and coaches need and deserve hearty support and co-operation. Outside of Westover, Mickel, Benedict and Bender were the stars for Nebrask a. Mickel's line plunging was a feature, and Benedict's work, in returning punts was high class. For Minnesota, Harris gained For Diabetes there is nothing so good as the Carlsbad Sprudel Water and Salt as shown by letters from leading physicians of Europe and this country.

A mista ke was admittedly made in replacing Gray by Freeman. Almost directly after the latter's appearance a fake play around his end brought the bail to the twenty yard line and paved the way for a touchdown. Gray's plays were open, to criticism, but not really weak. Gophers Get a Bad Start. Minnesota started off badly.

Mickel's kickoff was low. and Strathern stopped it ut fumbled, and the cornhuskers had the ball in Minnesota's territory. Mickel im mediately bucked the left side of the line forjjflve yardB, but a fumble gave Minnesota the ball and relieved the tension for a moment. Nebraska's line held like adamant, and Knowlt on was signalled for a punt. Minnesota tried a new formation and it was ot a success, the cornhuskers blocking the kick.

Minnesota managed to get the ball again in the mixup, and the gophers tried the line. A fumble by Boeckmann gave Nebraska the ball again at Minnesota's fifty-yard line, but the gophe rs held for three downs, and Knowlton held Benedict's punt at the twenty-yard line. Then Minnesota got a scare. The new formation on the punt failed again, and the kick was blocked, but Knowlton fell on the ball and tried again. For the third successive time Nebraska broke throu gh and blocked the kick, but ball went over Nebraska's line, and rolled to Mickel at the thirty-yard mark.

Minnesota Plays Good Football. Th en the gods favored the gophers, who got the leather on a fumble. Bidlake bucked tackle for five yards, but then Nebraska held and an exchange of punts followed, after which Minnesota for a few moments played sturdy football. Knowlton hurdled the center. Gray skirted the end for three gains of five yar ds each, Flynn hit the line for eight more yards, and the ball was pushed by this means from Minnesota's thirty-yard mark to Nebraska's fifty-yard line, the first time the sphere had been in the cornhuskers' territory.

Th en the gophers were forced to punt, and Benedict returned the ball, Harris getting eight yards on the return. Minnesota kicked again, and Benedict ran the oval back forty yards, but Allen saw an offside play, and gave Minnesota the ball and a ten-yard advance. That ut the ball on Nebraska's thirty-flve-yarrl line, and a couple of exchanges of punts followed. Then Minnesota gained ten yards on short plunges off tackle, arid got fifteen more as a gift from Allen for foul work on Nebraska's pait. This brought the ball to the fifteen-ard line, and he re the gophers should have scored, but the cornhuskers' line was too strong and the visitors took the ball on downs.

Benedict punted out of danger, and time was called a minute later. On the whole Minnesota had the better of the first half. Nebraska's attempts to gain ground off Minnesota's center were frustrated by the good defensive work of Minnesota's halves and ends. During the intermission Coach Booth evidently talked some to his pupils, and they started the second period with a rush. Benedict ran the kickoff back to the twenty-five yard line, and Allen gave the visitors ten yar ds for offside on the first play.

Th en the cornhuske rs tore up Minnesota's line for steady gains, bringing the ball to Minnesota's forty-flve-j a rd line. Van Valkenburg got two ribs broken by a kick In one of the scrimmage and Liggett took his place. Ten mo re yar ds for offside brought the ball to Minnesota's thirty-yard line, and ten more yards were gained, when Minnesota held for downs Nebraska tried what looked like a fair place kick, but a bad pass gave the gophers the ball on the thirty-five-yard lino. The ball changed hands twice on fumbles, and the gophers tried the bucking game, getting eight yaras before Knowlton was forced to punt. Two exchanges of punts followed, Harris running back the kicks with good success, and then, after short gains netting fifteen yards, Shedd got around the left for twenty-five yards.

Had he waited for his blocker to get in front of him he might have had a touchdown right there, but he didn't, and little Harris brought him to earth at the twenty-flve-yard line. Sig was laid out by the force of the collision, and lost a couple of molars, but pluoklly resum ed his place. Gophers Take a Brace. The gophers he re braced and held doggedly, Nebraska losing two yar ds on two plays. Benedict failed to get a plaee kick over, but Harris -downed on the $wo- yard line, and things looked vefy shak for the gophers-.

Vainly 'trying to advance the ball, Minnesota punted and then held Nebraska for three downs Benedict tried another place kick and failed. Minnesota's defense was stronger, and the visitors could not gain consistently through the line. Harris got the leather at the fifteen-yard line, and Knowlton again had to punt, Benedict running the ball back to the thirty-flve-yard line. A third attempt at a place kick by Benedict was no mo re successful than the others, and Knowlton again punted out of danger. Then Freeman and Downing went in at right end and right half, and Nebraska celebrated their arrival by going around right end for twenty yards.

Nebraska Gets Touchdown. That was the finish. The cornhuskers tore the left side of the line clear open and went through for eight yards. Th en Bender hit the right side for five more. The ball was now on Minnesota's twoyard line, and twice the cornhuskers smashed viciously into the line.

That put the ball within six inches of the goal line, and a touchdown seemed inevitable It ot onlv so. ut was, for on the next play Bender went clean oi er. Then Benedict kicked the goal and it was all over. Time was called shortly after the kickoff, wi th the ball in Minnesota's gra sp at the fifty-yard line. The lineup.

20.Five thousand spectators witnessed the military academy football team score against the strong Harvard eleven in a fiercely-contested battler here Saturday. The game was an exciting one from start to finish, resulting in a score of 14 to 6 in favor of Harvard. Nichols, who, at the last moment was substituted for Gardiner, kicked off at 3:30 and Harvard carried the ball back a few yards, advancing it very slowly. Harvard then succeeded in reaching West Point's twenty-yard line, from which they made steady gains until Jones was forced over for a touchdown, Barnard kicking an easy goal. The ball did not leave Harvard's possession from the beginning of the game until they scored.

West Point then made good gains and gradually advanced to the goal line until Torney was forced over for a touchdown and kicked an easy goal. After the kick-off, a hard-foug ht battle ensued and time was called with the ball in the center of the field. Score: Harvard, 6 West Point. 6. Harvard kicked for thirty-five yards and the ball was brought back to the center of the field by West Point.

Harvard th en recovered possession of the ball and Kernan made a spectacular un of forty-five yar ds and when within five yar ds of West Point 's goal line was tackled by Shannon. After a brief scrimmage Jones was forced over the line for a touchdown and Barnard kicked a very difficult goal. In the hext formation West Point succeeded in getting the ball dangerously near Harvard's goal, but the latter finally recovered it and punted back to the center of the field.

The Providence eleven excelled at all points of the game, and at no time after the 'first few minutes of play did the quakers have a chance to win Their only score was made on a fumble by Baker, a few minutes after the play began.

The game was the hardest that Yale has been called upon to play so far this season, and afforded invaluable practice. The play was I marred by the fact that the ground was muddy and the ball -wet and slippery because of the rain that fell before and all during the game, and players were several times compelled to be content with small gains because they slipped and fell Yale's goal was not seriously in danger at any time, although two long runs by Smith, fuHbaek. gave Pennsylvania courage to hope to score, but neither time did he come, near enough to thf Yale goal to give the visitors a chance to attempt a field goal. Late in the first half the Yale team for a few minutes became cempralized, and the visitors pushed the ball nearly forty yards by good gains through both tackles and carried It from a point dangerously near their own goal. Three times in the first half and four times in the second Yale lost the ball to Pennsylvania by fumbles, and twice three fumbles cost Yale what seemed likely to be touchdowns.

Yale was never held by the visitors, who seemed unable to break the Yale interference when it was well started. Glass was strong in the Offensive plav. The first touchdown was made early in the first half, bv Farmer, after a series of short line plunges and end rune. Ward kicked the goal. It was not until late in the second half that Yale could again score.

The score was 10 to 6, and all of the scoilng was done in the first half, the Indians were at their best and they could not have met Cornell when the Ithacans weie in worse shape. Cornell's back field was crippled and Coach Moirlson was obliged to send into the fray substitutes whose ability was questioned and who had had little experience In games. A faster and more determined lot of football players than the Indians never came to Percy field. Their plays were well conceived and were cleverly varied, while their interference was superb. A play which massed quickly on tackle was used with great effectiveness, and was responsible for a large, number of the Indian gains, while tackle, back and end-shift formations kept Cornell guessing.

Carlisle's scores were due largely to good luck. Interference with a free catch gave the Indians fifteen additional yards and afforded Wheelock a favorable opportunity to" kick goal from a place on the thirty-yard line. Cornell. Position.

Farabaugh was given the hall. He made a clear thiough the line and, eluding Halsey and Smith, made a beautiful inn of 100 yards for a touchdown.

Butler failed at goal. This was the oulj score made in the flist halt. In the second half the navy kept the, ball in Lehigh's territory, of the time, but with the game nearly at an end they failed to gain, and Belknap missed a field goal.

The game with Simpson, so badly needed as a practice game before Minne sota comes, was called off on account of a sea of mud in Athletic park, and on top of that disaster the men have taken a slump. The coaches have hopes of getting Simpson here on Oct. 21, ut they speak despondently of the backward step the team has taken. Coach Knipe declared to-day that his caustic criticisms of the eleven on the grounds and elsewhere were not meant for wolf stories, and he called down the newspaper correspondents who have beerr sending out optimistic stories of late.

Vuilott FIELD IS REDUCED Wisconsin and Michigan in a Classjf'taln by Themselves Among the Western Football Teams. -5 Chicago or Illinois May Threaten the Leaders Before the End of the Season. Contestants for the weste rn football championship were reduced to practically two as the result of Saturday's games. Wisconsin and Michigan will settle the title in their game at Chicago Nov.

1. That fact now seems practically assured, although Chicago and Illinois loom up as possible dark horses. Nebraska has little show of getting consideration, not because there are not possibilities in the cornhusker team, but because Booth's men playno member of the big nine from now on, save Northwestern, which was put out of the running yesterday by Chicago. A victory over Northwestern would mean little for Nebraska in the mind of the public, while it is Quite possible that the purple eleven will get into form and defeat the Lincoln aggregation. Chicago and Illinois meet next Saturday on Marshall field, and by 6 o'clock that evening one of the two teams will be listed among the also started.

Illinois has th advantage in the greater experience of mo st of her men. A great part of the maroon team is composed of raw material, while the Illini are mostly seasoned veterans. The maroons, however, have shown steady improveme nt in the last two weeks, and the team undoubtedly has great possibilities. Chicago suffered a heavy loss in yesterday's game with Northwestern. Schnur, Jennison and Bezdek, three most promising halfbacks, were injured and are out of tho game for some time if not for the season.

Michigan Gets a Surprise. Michigan found Notre Dame a pretty tough, proposition, and against the strong of the Indiana players the defense of the wolverines showed the points of weakness whi ch it was predicted would be shown the first time this department of theMichigan play was given a real test. Wisconsin scored nine touchdowns on Beloit, ut had er goal line crossed for the second time this season. On the whole, however, the result of yesterday 's games slightly increases the chances of the ba dgers in their game with Michigan. Both teams will require lots of hard work to get into-, real championship form in two Phil has been ve ry successful in pa st yea rs in having his teams on edge for their important contests, and there is no reason to believe that he will fail this ear Surprises in the East.

Several surprises were recorded in he eastern games. Bro wn outclassed Pennsylvania, West Point scored on Harvard by straig ht football, Carlisle, after losing to the third-rate Bushnell eleven a week ago, made monkeys of the Cornell men, and Penn Sta te held Yale to two touchdowns. Pennsylvania must again be classed in. the second rank of eastern team s. The Quakers have done nothing worthy of mention since 1898, and their poor showing in the last four years indicates a radical weakness in the coaching, for the large number of students at the Pennsy lvania institution should insure a first-class if not a championship team, every year.

Yale, Harvard and Princeton evidently are the only championship possibilities this year, and Yale at present is the best of the trio. Harvard showed no material advance in form yesterday, and Princeton is an unknown quantity. Yale, although unable tp make a high score, showed her usual reserve strength. West Point and Cornell, whi ch ranked high last year, will hardly threaten the traditional "big three" this season, although West Point, wi th Daly in the game, probably would have given Harvard a hard rub Saturday. Either Michigan or Wisconsin looks as strong as any of the eastern teams outside the big three.

5. BEL0IT SCORES ON BADGERS. Milwaukee, Oct. 20.For the first time since Belolt and Wicsonsin have met on the gridiron, the former has scored a'touchdown and goal. Because of a momentary halt, a miscalculation and poor judgment by the varsity men, Allen Merrill earned glory for himself and his team by a twnty-yard dash to the coveted badger goal Hue without being even tackled until well behind the line.

Belolt had the ball on the badgers' twentyflve-yard line, where she took it from the latter a's a penalty for holding. The next play brought the pigskin well to the side of the field, leaving a little room for playing on Wisconsin's right side without running the risk of having the play spoiled by being out of bounds. Consequently Juneau played over on the left side and Merrill, playing opposite him, seeing his chance, slipped down the edge of the field with the oval and he was not downed until too late. This made the score 12 to 6. During the remainder of the first half, Wisconsin pushed the ball steadily against her opponent's line until in the last three minutes of playing they scored twelve additional points, and the half closed with 29 06.

Findlay took place at the beginning of the second half, being later relieved by After the score was over 45, Driver went in at full and Vanderboom took Liljequist's place at left half.
