NEBRASKA HALFBACK. The Diets club deserves praise for the way the game was managed, From a spectacular point of view, the . MINOR. game could not have been Improved -upon. The new rules forced plenty of kicking and . both teams showed their skill time and i again in the use of the' forward pass which the new rules permit. There waa plenty of kicking and the bull was sent whining i, through the air many times. To a man , who was not familiar with the rules of f foi t ball the game was most attractive ', and the occasion was glorious to those who M saw Ames lose In the last few minutes of I play. IV Wind Ilaya Importaat Part. "" A hard wind swept from the weot, lengthwise of the field, and It was a cu rious fact that of the seven touchdowns which, were made all were scored over the east goal line. It almost seemed that with the open game the side having the wind and sun to assist was sure to rrtcore sooner or later. The advantage lay In Captain Harvey winning the tos and then Nebraska' last touchdown being made with too short a space of time for Aine to again even matters. Nebraska made the first score In 18 minutes of play and from that time to the finish It was a battle of giants with everything I practically even except the advantage of the wind. There U no discounting the i Antes team for Ames has a real foot ball i team. The Lambert brothers, playing half and fll are a pair hard to beat. Hubbard, the running mate of the Lam berts Is speedy and hard to down and all th Ames players tackle sure and hard. As a defensive player Captain Law was a tower of strength. Ames showed that ) it had a magnificently trained team and during the 70 minutes of hard gruelling ' work not a man was taken from the i' gam on the Ames side and time was taken out but once. Ames was weakened art "HEAVT" KROGER, KEBRA8KA'8 FULLBACK. to. a considerable degree by the absence of Orahani from the line up. Cheers went up from Nebraska's section when It was discovered that Hart was able to play and Nebraska's line stood In tact from th beginning of the contest to the end. All of the back field 'men were changed during the game, but the new comers seemed to do Just as well ai the regulars. Beltser gave way to Miner , 1 Tempi took the place of Kroger and was ( replaced by Sturxen, who had been doing splendid work. Cojke replaced Bentley, but that was a case of - th real article being called Into the game when .something des perate had to be dune. Bentley had been playing a fine game and had showed good Judgment In the pinches, but Cook wu needed for the long run which was to win the game and he delivered th goods, frond ' Waa Magalncent. The crowd. It waa magnificent. Never had such a crowd of enthusiasts gathered In the west to witness a foot ball battle. Olant stands had been reared at Diets park, with solid bank of humanity and color. The sight was Indeed thrilling. On th north was stationed the Ames rooter and on the south Nebraska. . The stands seated 4,00 people. Boxes In front held BOO more and the entire field was lined severs! deep with lovers of the game. In front of the college sections were the cadet bands from each school and these led In the songs and played the airs so doar to the collegi an heart. It wa not. all a Nebraska crowd which Ames had to play before. Although a little late in arriving the Ames contingent made a splendid showing and In the crowd were over 1,000 wearing the colors of Ames. The yellmasters In front of the stands kept the yells In unison and Nebraska would sing a defiant song at Ames and the Ames students would come right back with are equally aprqopos. Ames Rooters Arrive Late. The special train bearing th bulk of the CAPTAIN HARVEY, NEBRASKA'S ' RIGHT END. Ames rooters was a Httle late In arriving and Nebraska had scored the first touch down before the Ames band, followed by the students, came upon the field. The band started Its muslo before It waa fairly on the field and It was but a short time before the Ames team, cheered by the band and the yells of the late students, carried the ball across the Nebraska goal line for a touchdown. 81 Lambert missed the goal, which left the score 6 to S In favor of Ne braska, but . the ' Ames team had shown that It had real ability and .that the battle was not yet won by Nebraska. Omaha has been working hard to have the' Nebraska team -p)ay one of Its big games In this city," And the game of yes terday ' practically Insures a big annual game In Omaha. ' Both teams were loud In their praise of everything connected, with the game and especially of the treatment they received at the hands of tile Omaha public. Lincoln never had such a crowd to a foot ball game, although the people have been educated up to first class foot ball. The management of both teams was more than pleased with the grand outpour ing of fooc ball enthusiasts, and both re turned home with their pockets bulging with the receipt of the game, which will materially help the exchequer of both team. Foot ball In the stage of It highest de velopment was witnessed, and nothing but words of praise were heard on all sides after the grfme. The doubt of the outcome until the last few minutes of play kept the audience keyed up to the highest pitch, The wind and the un on the west were two prominent factors in the scoring, and the team with that advantage had the edge which. In time, brought the score. The open style of play made a decided hit, on the spectators and long runs added Interest all the way through. The old style of line plunging entirely was a thing of the paat, and there was scarcely two minutes of play but what some fleet-footed player was loose for a long run or trying to get loose, or when some new-styled play wa being tried. The requirements of tea yards to each three downs forces the captains to be Ingenious and to work out some plays on which there Is a chance for a long run and that Is what th spectators were treated to yesterday.
