1 i Section scs: s-. 1 By O'Leughlln. 'INNESOTA triumphed over over her ancient foe, Nebraska, on Northrop field yesterday afternoon by a score of 13 to 0 in the most sensational came of the local season. Minnesota's triumph came thru the medium of two field goals by "Bobby" Marshall and a touchdown made by "Bad Bill" Ittner. Nebraska gave the gophers a scare of pronounced proportions.

Two weeks ago Ames defeated Nebraska in a decisive manner. Ames came to Northrop field for its annual drubbing and it was administered in the usual style. From this it was reasoned that Nebraska would some alone and take a worse beating than ever, but right here the dope went wrong. Nebraska of yesterday could have swamped Ames, at its best, by a "score of 24 to 0. It was virtually a new team.

The cornhuskers had turned the ame trick that Minnesota performed last year-developed wonderful manner under the spur and sting of a de- ball event of the year but a week away the gopher coach did not feel like taking chances. He picked a team which seemed strong enough to win and his judgment was vindicatedbut not until after the rooters had had thirty minutes of discomfort. To tell the truth Minnesota played a lethargic game in the first half. Nebraska presented a very heavy lineup and there was little if any difference in the weights of the teams. Safford, at center, is a light man and Weist is another comparatively light chap.

Doane in the backfield is not heavy and this trio went far to even up any disparity in weight which might have existed. Offense Was Surprising. Nebraska's attack in the past has never been brilliant. It has been hard pushed with great spirit and pluck, but Foster has worked a complete hange in the cornhusker attack. It was fast and made up almost entirely of tricks, fakes and forward passes.

On straight football the cornhuskers were lost. They could do nothing. In the first half their attack perplexed Minnesota and the team unquestionably went into the air, for a time. They rallied, however, at critical stages and held the Lincoln team with a Minnesota's offense was powerful, crude at times and not greatly diversified. In the first half the team play was not up to the needs and the interference was wofnlly inadequate, the men played doggedly and without spirit save when the Nebraskans menaced their goal.

The first half was deeidedlv in favor of the visitors. Then came the change. The gophers came out for the' second half with line- First half Second half CHIEF POINTS OF THE GAME Yards rushes from snapback.

Minnesota's offense was circumecribjed. Dr. Williams had evidently instructed that only straight football should be played and the orders were carried out to the letter.

Comparatively few plays were unearthed. The presence of Professor A. A. Stagg, in the grandstand with Walter Eckersall, may have had some effect of this kind, but it is safe to guess that the offense against Chicago will be different. The cornhusker offense in the first half was of the whirlwind variety.

The gopher ends were tricked on several occasions and the Nebraskans went up the field in a style that was far from pleasing to the Minnesota rooters. Then the gophers braced and a battle royal ensued. It raged up and down the field for the length of the first half with neither side adoring. The forward pass came into evidence with the visitors, and Nebraska has a pass that is dangerous. Minnesota soon tumbled to the tricks and they were not so gainful.

Marshall and Ittner were working like Trojans on the ends, with Marshall having the time of his life with Johnson, the Nebraska, left end. The veteran cornhusker was holding like a drowning man at straws ajid it is to Marshall's credit that he kept under such trying circumstances and did not resent it. Cooke, the Nebraska quarter was perniciously active. He got thru to work the backfield hard to get him on several occasions and was downed once or twice by the last man between him the gopher goal. Marshall was out as a field goal kicker, and while his first attempts were failures he persisted until he succeeded.

Cooke one escaped around the right end and eluding the backs went streaking down the field with Shuknecht alone in pursuit. It was a sensational run, the best of the day, but Shuknecht. after a magnificent pursuit, landed his man on Minnesota's 15-yard line and threw him out of bounds. This was the high tide pf the Nebraska offense and after that it waned. Power with Crudeness.

This, in brief, was how the points were made. This performance set the rooters in better humor. Minnesota had vindicated the play outlined for the day, and while the score had not been large it was sufficient to the needs. The Second, half found the Nebraskans weakening fast and while Minnesota played thru without A substitute going in, the. cornhuskers were sending out -fresh material all of the way thru the half.

Minnesota was in splendid physical condition, and not a man received an injury of a serious nature. The same held good with the Nebraskans.

It is not at all unlikely that extra hour "work will be called for and the electric-lighted field and the ghost ball will be 'worked full time. Minnesota has much work ahead in perfecting for the maroons.

It will be hard, grinding but it will have to be done before success can be hoped fpr. Today the gophers are unquestionably stronger that the maroons. They are stronger in the line and the stronegr in the backfield. The maroons doubtless lead in speed and polish. If Ir Williams "can whip his wards into shape in the five days yet remaining before the game, it will be one of the greatest football battles seen in the west in many years.

All thru the first half the adherents of the gopher team Tiad frequent cause for heart failure, but they stood to their work and followed the lead of their yell captains without hesitation even in the darkest moments. When the tide of the game had turned and Nebraska's plucky but exhausted warriors were gamily going down to defeat, the gopher rooters cheered for their opponents with a generosity and heartiness never before seen on a western gridiron. "Long John" Sinclaire, the rooter king, is the man behind this change in bleacher tactics. True to his determination, announced in chapel in the morning, to call for cheers for -Nebraska and put down all exhibitions of he saw to it that the cornhuskers were cheered as they left the field and a couple of rowdies who ventured a protest escaped personal chastisement at his hands and more from the rooters by beating a hasty retreat. Ideal weather and the prestige attaching to Nebraska, despite its defeat by Ames, drew a crowd of about nine thousand people to Northrop field.

Everywhere there was confidence in the ability of Minnesota to defeat the cornhuskers by a big score, and there was Jittle intensity in the cheering as the maroon and gold warriors trotted onto the field. Nebraska's coming was acknowledged by a spontaneous outburst of cheers from the stand and bleachers. The band blared out some catchy music and the game started. Just as the teams lined up the band swung into the impressive strains of "Hail Minnesota," and the Minnesota men and women stood up in their places while the outsiders looked on and wondered what was the matter. Then came the kick off.

Nebraska Threw a Scare. Nebraska, doped as an easy started with a dash toward the gopher goal. Surprise and consternation ruled the grandstand. The few backers of the red and white broke forth with taunting applause for the work of their favorites. But the surprise which demoralized the mixed crowd in the grandstand had an opposite effect upon the undergraduate contingent in the bleachers at their left.

Prompt and vigorous came the crashing cadence of the "new yell," as the rooters followed the waving arm of their leader. Again Nebraska shot a play around for a big gain and again the rooters cheered, this time with more fervor. Each added gain for the visitors brought out more cheering from the gopher rooters. Last week's game had given the megaphone weilders a chance to get in training and it showed in the wayh the6yh shot out the Rah Rah Minnesota." While the alumni and overtown folk wondered and shuddered as Minnesota's line plays failed to gain the requisite ten yards and Nebraska's dashing and spectacular trick play netted startling gains the rooting cohorts settled further into the colar. Their work was cut out for them.

COACH FOSTER, I am disappointed, but Nebraska put up a splendid fight. With a little more interference' we should have made two touchdowns in the first half. Our team was tod Ught and was beaten down towards the last by the powerful Minnesota offense. AH the men on the team played the game, and the work of Cooke especially, who at the of the season knew absolutely about football, I consider remarkable. Minnesota has a the fault of her playing seemed to be a lack of diversity of When the gophers go against Chicago, which I consider is the best coached foot- ball team in the country for diversity of plays, this will count heavily against Minnesota's Chicago, with her ten-second backfield, looks like a haid nut to the five generations of rooters, were followed to the letter.

Time was called on the first half with the score 0 to 0, and the crowd shocked and surprised at the failure of the Minnesota team to score on the eleven which had bowed to Ames. On every hand there were comments and explanations. "Minnesota had fallen off in' form." "Nebraska had come Minnesota would score in the second half." "The gophers were wearing the cornhuskers down and would win yet." "Dr. Williams was not showing his hand on account of the Chicago game." All these and many more reasons were offered and discussed. The band marched out on the field and paraded up and down, playing something.

Nobody cared much. There seemed nothing to be jubilant over. Ttnarit 'Ra'TflffO" Then the band halted in front of the grand stand and again played the song which means so much to the Minnesota man, whether student or graduate. This time there was no hesitation over what should be done. Careless and irreverent in victory, the men.

and women of the university hear the call of their alma mater in adversity and rose to their feet. Even the hardened sport who came as to a sort of gladiatorial combat was impressed. Things were different in the second half. Nebraska had shot its bolt and failed. Minnesota, by superior strength, had worn her plucky opponents down and was slowly piling up the score which meant victory.

The grandstand broke forth with wild yells of applause as the gopher play tore great holes in the red and white line. The. bleachers answered with their steady cadenced cheers, alternating the "Ski-U-Mah" with cheers for the men who pulled off the spectacular plays. Minnesota scored and the band played "Hot Time." Taylor of Ne-. braska was carried to the sidelines.

"Long John" Sinclaire, true to his promise of the morning, called on his followers and they responded with the "new veil," followed by "Nebraska, Nebraska, Nebraska." Minnesota was cheering its opponents. Two "muck-" ers" called to the rooter king to "cut' it out." He descended from his post on the wall and started for them. The rooters got there first. As one man they rose and shouted "put them out, put them out." The "hoodlums" did not wait to be put, but left, hurriedly. That yell sounded the death knell of the ''mucker" on Northrop field.

Speaking of the incident afterwards, Mr. Sinclaire said that he did not recognize the pair as students and was confident that they were not. When Cooke of Nebraska, battered and worn out, was carried from the field he was given the Minnesota yell with his own name, thrice repeated, at the end. The same tribute was given to Weller. This is not the first time that Minnesota has applauded its plucky opponents, but it was the first time that they had been cheered in a formal way.

Most impressive of all the varied incidents of the rooters' section was that which followed Minnesota's final riore The band again played "Hail Minnesota" and the rooters, 1,500 strong sang it standing with uncovered heads. When this was over Sinclaire called for the old yell and the rooters, still standing, sent its sonorous syllables booming over the field. While there has been better organganized cheering, more enthusiasm because there was more need of enthusiasm, there has never been hearty of more sportsmanlike cheering at Northrop field than that of yesterday, under the leadership of "Long Working with Mr. Sinclaire in the leading of the cheering were Donald Blair and Ed Swenson. After the game, a pall of doubt and uncertainty seemed to hang over the crowd.

Minnesota had won from Nebraska, it was true, but could the team win from Chicago Certainly it could not with those tics. But the wiser toqk fort in the thought that the whole exhibition might be nothing more than a little comedy arranged for the benefit of Coach Alonzo A. Stagg and Captain Walter Eckersall of Chicago, who watched the game from the grandstand. Baltimore Special to Journal. Baltimore, Nov.
