WM, JEWELLS TOO LIGHT MJDRVMCVNS WALK OVEIl TUEM ivith a as TO bCOIta Superior "WelRht til Last Year's "Western I'linmiiluna Lnrccl) IloHiion-sllde "Wont Miot lu IelirnsUns I.iuc. The Nebraska football p1ajers, last car's champions of the "Western Intercollegiate League, bon led oer the canvas-backed jounssters from William Jewell esterday Bfttrnoon. defeatnlg them by a score of to 0. The game wab plajed at Exposition park, before a.

handful of s-pectators, most of whom wore the colors of the Bap-lit college. Nebraska's ability to outplay Uiclr opponents could easily hao been dercon-Hrated liad they scored only half as often. Just eighteen minutes after the commencement of play. Captain Melford kicked the go.ll which made the core IS to 0, and, nhile the game lasted, barring the time taken out at intervals to allow the plajeis pf both tides to lay in fresh supplies of wind, the champions made touchdowns with great regularity. Every time the leather was carried across the goal line it was planted squarely beneath the posts and Melford had no difficulty kicking any of the goals.

The "Wlliam Jewell plajers are seeral tizes too light to line up against such an array of giants as the Nebraska line presented. The aerage weight of the Baptists is less than ICO pounds while the Nebraska llgure is ery much closer to lu. The William Jewell also did some disastrous fumbling and were painfully slow in earning the ball and getting up tho Held on punts. Tho Nebraskans had their opponents narcd ut the Ftart and their score was nearly twenty when the Missouri joung-bters awoke to the fact that they them-teles could play a littlo football. They located a.

weak spot ira tho Nebraska line and crashed through repeatedly. Only the oerw helming superiority or weight coupled with the too frequent fumbling, prciented ii touchdown In that ono rally made by the Slissourians. The ball was forced to the twenty jard line and there sacrillced. The same difficulty which was noticeable in the work of the Nebraskans last year as apparent esterday. Barring Benedict, whose work was the feature of the day, they wero very slow in getting down the field.

The interference was good, but the haHes might follow it more closely, to advantage. The Nebraskans always took their time In forming in line after a down and In putting the ball in play. In the making of gains. Halfback Benedict came pretty close to being the whole works, his ppurts of fifteen, twenty and twenty-ho yards belns of too frequent occurrence to excite great Interest. Mel-ford punted for a number of good gains.

The Nebraska line is by no means as strong on defense as it will need to be if It expects to offer strong resistance to tr.3 ouslaughts of such an aggregation as Mosse. Hamill and Smith, of Kansas. Time after time the "William Jewells plowed Ftraight through the mighty Turner's territory. Three minutes after the commencement of play the Nebraskans scored their first touchdown, Plllabury carrying the ball after a fifteen yard run. The leather was again worked to within five yards of the line, when Nebraska fumbled, but secured the ball on a fiuko by "William Jewell.

Kingsbury was forced over for the second score. Benedict rounded right end for thirty yards and then made xorty-fne siround left, planting the ball beneath the posts twelve minutes after the second touchdown. Then the Baptists made their rallv, which lasted but a few minutes, but which brought to light unmistakable weak spots In the Nebraska line. Repeated gains were made by hitting the line, and Porter. 1 II-liam Jewell's best ground gainer, skirted the Nebraska's right end for thirty jards.

On "the twenty jard line Nebraska secured lt Villi iimlil( In the second half the "William Jewells showed tne cnect 01 ineir uuru the forepart of the game and offered little resistance to the attacks of their heavier opponents.

-(Special.) The Kansas Jaj hawkers smothered the state normal football team on the normal campus this afternoon by a score of 31 to 0. Kansas made all her touchdowns in the first half, after whkh the inolc a brace and nlaved good ball. It was an ideal football day and evcrjbodv turned out to see the game, the attendance reaching 1.200. The normal won the toss taking the ball giving the west goal. Harris kicked off to Hamill, who returned twenty vards.

Kansas plajed fierce and fast, complex 1 bewildering the normal by their swift plajs. After good gains around the end an.l through the center a trick play brought tho ball to a jard from the "War-reiusburg goal, and Buzzl was pushed over for a touchdown. The normal players went to pieces and the first half ended Kansas IS normal 0 In the second half the normal braced up and liv good line bucking by Cockrell and Walts and an end ruu by Haller carried the ball to the Kansas fifteen- ard line. Harris attempted a drop kick for goal, but failed carried the ball up the field rapidlv to the normal's 40-yard line, and Moste kicked goal from the field. No touchdowns were mado in this half and the game ended 33 to 0 in favor of Ivansas.

The plaj-ing. however, was almost altogether in Northwestern territory.

The improvement In tho work of the Chicago line over it3 lagged work of a week ago with Beloit was so marked as to be almost startling. The men plajed well together, and the tandem plajs against tackles which Northwestern used frequcntlj- at first wero seldom productive of much gain. On the other hand. Northwestern was utterly unable to stop the maroons' heavy backs in their plunges through the line. PRINCETON DEFEATS CORNELL Tiger Win rimt 111k Enstern Game After ii llnrd FoiiKl't Strnlc.

PRINCETON, N. Oct. 22. In an exciting game of football this afternoon Princeton won from Cornell, to 0. The teams wcie almost evenlj- matched and the battle waged from ono side of the field to the other during the early part of th game, neither team seeming to have the advantage.

At first Cornell started oft with a rush, hut after the Tigers had learned tho Cornell plajs the ball changed hands and was carried steadilj down tho field for the only touchdown of the game. Reit-er took the pigskin over the line and Milli kicked the goal. This was the onlj- score made during the game. In tho first halt Cornell was within thirty jards of Princeton's goal and in danger of losing the ball on downs. Star-buck, the Ithacan fullback, tried for goal from the field, but failed.

In the second half Cornell nlaved the same sturdy, bull dog game, but tho Tigers had the smell of blood and were not to be outplajed. Yale IS, Carlisle 5. NEW HAVEN. Oct. 22.

Ynle this afternoon defeated the Carlisle Indians at football, IS to Z. The game was a scrsatlonal one and at the end of the first half tho score stood only to it seemed alannlnglj- dangerous for Yale. The five points to Carlisle's credit are due to Quarterback Hudson's marvelous sWd in dropping a goal from the IG-jard line. The trick caused consternation in the Yale line and after that the Indians plav-ed Yale to a standstill for a few minutes. The Carlisle ruh line seemed too much for Ynle, but the reason of this became apparent when, In the second half, after Yale had changed signals, the Indians found the line nearlj- alwajs Impregnable.

22. The Unlversltj of Pennsjlvania football eleven defeated the Lafayette kickers this afternoon by the score of 32 to 0 In twenty-five mlpute halves. Pennsjlvania fumbled wretchedly, but this was to a great extent dua to the bid passing of their center and tne slippery ball. The field was ankle deep with mud and it was almost impossible for the men to get started. Lafayette could make but little impression on Pcnnsj'lvanla's line, only getting their distance once during tho entire game.

The express companies were energetic In their endeavors to have the circular suppressed. They sought to further delay matters bv asking that the circular be withheld until October 21, whicn was denied them, but Commissioner Trickett took the responsibility of holding the circular as re-nuested so that the express companies could not charge any unfairness, and yesterday after his return from St. Louis the circular was sent on its mission.
