ANTELOPE DEFENSE wHIRLwuD Like n stone wall the KRnphns Batter Away At Line, but Are Unable to Push Through at Critical Times. LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 6-(Special Telegram.) -Three hundred happy CornhuSkerS took possession OF Lawrence tonight to celebrate the 20 victory scored by Ne braska over their hated rivals the Jay hawkers, Saturday afternoon on McCook field I’m one of the most remarkable exhibit tons Of the popular college sport ever seen in the Missouri valley. The score does not indicate the relative merits OF the teams, for Nebraska should have triumphed by at least eighteen points Fortune smiled upon the Jayhawkers and fumbling cost the Cornhuskers at least two touchdowns. Hopelessy outclassed in every depart ment of the game, the Jayhawkers battled with a determination which was a tribute to Kennedy. Thrown back to their ten-yard line five times, and with the ball three times within the five-yard line, the Jay hawkers’ fighting spirit never wavered and Nebraska failed 20 cross the goal line. Two thousand Kansas rooters were brought to their feet by the gameness OF the fight. Wonderful Game. Cole had a superior team in every respect. The Cornhuskers played a wonder full game on the offense, carrying the bail nearly four times as far as their opponents. The defense was so vigorous that Kansas could not gain until the third quarter. when the Jayhawl1ers displayed some real foot ball ability. For a few minutes at the opening VI the third quarter the proteges of Kennedy out played Nebraska, but the advantage was short lived and Nebraska took the bail from their own fifteen-yard line to within striking distance OF the Jayhawker goal in a series OF rushes which startled the con fused Jayhawkers with the versatility of the attack. The only touchdown of the game was made in the final quarter after a series OF piunges and end runs. 0. Frank was called upon to carry the ball six yards, and before Kansas was aware that the Cornhusker had started, he had dRrted through the line, past Tommy johnson and over the chalk line. Twice during the first quarter Nebraska carried the ball to the ten-yard line but once a tumble aud the second time penalties robbed Nebraska Of the score. In the Second Quarter. Again in the second quarter Nebraska carried the ball close to the Kansas goal but tumble cost th9 touchdown. The story Of the game is easily told in the statistics Of yards gained on straight foot ball and punts returned. Nebraska gained $40 yards as against seventy-three for Kansas. In returning punts Nebraska made 19O yards and Kan sas made two yards. The work Of Chauner for Nebraska in going down under punts was easily as brilliant as has ever been seen in a Kansas field. He tackled / fiercely. While the Nebraska defense was so stiff that Kansas had no chance 70 score. Nebraska was thrown for a loss OF forty five yards, while Kansas lost thirty. The Nebraska offense was a whirlwind. Warner confused the Jayhawkers with a remark able versatility in directing the Corn. husSer attack. Around Warner, Rathbons Minor and Frank, Cole had developed a series OF plays well calculated to dismaY the Jayhawkers. Very little debrutalizsd foot ball was used by Nebraska or Kansas. The CornhuslSers only used the forward pass twice. once for a gain OF five yards and again for q loss Of ten. Kansas only succeeded once with the pass, although the Jayhawkers failed ia seven attempts. Ideal Foot Bali weather. ! It was an ideal day for foot ball with q slight wind blowing from the west. The ! stands soon filled and the JayhaWker / rooters occupied the entire north section. ! Nebraska with delegation numbering 400 was seated in the south bleachers. Be | tween 1900 and 500 people saw the game. The Nebraska and Kansas bands paraded the field prior 90 the opening Of the game ana during the intermission OF the halves. When the final whistle blew, Cole and the substitutes rushed 10 the field and danced around a circle. COnhuskers swarmed over the stands and carried the / warriors from the field Forming In parade headed by the band, the Nebraska delegation marched up town and proceeded 70 appropriate the city for their own use. There was little choice OF playing on the | Cornhusker team. Several starred, but 70 O. Frank perhaps belong the laurels, a. the star Of the game. Kansas wizard / Tommy Johnson was outclassed by the clever Frank and Ammons and Baird were the real stars for Kansas Hell also | played a strong game for the JayhawkerS. Frank played a marvellous game, but could scarcely Outshine Jerry” Warner, / Captain Temple. Minor Rathbone, Chauner and Collins. / Very little money was bet on the game, / Kansas asked odds ana the Nebraska Tooters were not willing 70 give them. The CornhuskerB laft Saturday q a
