Shellenbarger went around right end for ten yards. A fumble gave the ball to Nebraska and ten yards gain. Yont attempted to go around left end, but Steinberger tackled him back of the line. Flippin went through left guard for seven yards and around right end for three more. Yont tried to go throught left tackle, but concluded not to do it when he ran up against Pope. Yont went through right tackle for six yards and bucked the center for five more. Flippin made a good gain around right end and Fair took the ball over the line for a touchdown. Fair missed an easy goal. Five minutes more had been played and the score was 6 to 4 in favor of K. U.
It was now K. U's ball at the center of the field. Hester kicked to the ten yard line. Yont attempted to go around left end, but Hill broke through the line and tackled him, losing Nebraska one yard. Flippin could only make two yards around left end, and Kansas was holding the Nebraskans so well that it looked very much like another touchdown. Captain Dern thought so too and signaled for a punt. Fair punted twenty yards and Hill caught the ball. Wilson went ten yards around right end, but Cameron got the ball on a fumble. Yont went through the line for two yards. Then Flippin hurled himself against the line. It gave way and let him through. Several men were clinging to him, but he went thirty yards before he was effectually stopped by Shelly. K. U. then took a brace and held the line, but Fair again punted twenty-five yards. Hill caught the ball, but was downed before he could advance it.
K. U. tried the line but could make little impression. Hester punted thirty yards. Fair caught the ball but was successfully tackled by Foster. Yont gained ten yards. Flippin took the pigskin and was going to do something, but before he could determine just what. Hill had come around the Nebraska line and tackled him just above the knees, bringing him forcibly to the ground with a loss of four yards. This was the finest tackle made during the game.
Fair then punted twenty-five yards. Hester caught the ball, carried it back six yards and then punted forty-five more. Flippin took the ball five yards through the line and then occurred a very pretty crisscross. The quarter-back passed the ball to Flippin, who in turn slipped it to Yont. While the K.
U. boys were trying to get at Flippin, Yont paste1 swiftly around left end for thirty-five yards. Nebraska then bucked the line successfully for short gains. Flippin made twenty yards around right end and Yont carried the ball fifteen yards securing the second touchdown for Nebraska. Fair failed to kick goal, leaving the score 8 to 6. The remaining few minutes of the first half were hotly contested, but no further points were made by either side and the half closed with the ball in the center of the field.
The second half opened well for K. U. Pope caught Fair's kick for thirty-five yards and carried the ball back fifteen yards. Pope gained ten more through right tackle. Foster made five yards around left end. Hester punted thirty-five yards. Flippin and Yont each advanced the ball and Fair punted twenty-five yards. Hester took the ball back seven yards. Steinberger went around right end for thirty yards and probably would have got through for a touchdown had he been in condition to dodge. Pope, Shelly, Wilson and Hester, each bucked the line for good gains, but the ball was lost to Nebraska on a fumble. Flippin and Yont bucked the line for long gains and Cameron went fifteen yards around left end. K. U. rallied and held the line firm and Fair punted twenty-five yards. Hester and Foster made good gains. Stone broke his collar bone in a scrimmage and was compelled to leave the field. Walker took his place at center. Everybody must admire Stone's pluck. He walked off of the field so coolly, no one would have suspected that he was hurt but for his pale face.
From this time on, the Kansans could do nothing against the sturdy Bug Eaters. Flippin, Yont, Dern and Cameron each advanced the ball, and Flippin took it over the line a few minutes before time was called. Fair failed a difficult goal, making the total score, Nebraska 12, K. U.6.
FOOT-BALL ECHOES.
If worse comes to worst, we can all go down to Baker and take lessons in mumble-de-peg.
The roosters in our hats are not very perceptible now,but just wait till next year.
In the Omaha foot-ball team, which was recently defeated by Nebraska University, there is a bald-headed player. He doubtless believes in foot-ball as a hair tonic. In the Beta team—Golden rule of foot-ball: Do your opponent before he does you.
