and Cream came up from behind and won, 7 to 20.
A week later, which
makes it Saturday, November 7, according to western time,
Morningside college sent down a team with instructions to
crush Nebraska, if possible. It was found to be
impossible. To lend interest to the game, however, Jumbo
put in the scrubs in the second half, and a lucky foward
(sic) pass just before the whistle blew accounts for the
peculiar looking figure on the tiny end of the score.
Morningside 7; Nebraska, 34. On November 14, Kansas, who
has been thirsting for revenge so long that it is
doubtful if she ever will quench it, came up and started
the Jayhawk crowing the moment she got it off the train.
Before the game was five minutes old, however, it became
painfully evident that Kansas had made some sort of a

starter's whistle until it was too late. Others claim
that she did not expect the crowd that greeted her and

the main performance with the elephants on

loss. The final score, after all the returns were
Snake-Dance on Nebraska Field
in, was Kansas, 0; Nebraska, 35. Kansas
acknowledged defeat.
The Hawkeyes furnished
the final sacrifice for Nebraska, the ceremony occuring
(sic) at Iowa City. Iowa announced before the game that
she was out to win, but it soon became evident that she
had made a mental reservation which included the word
"bets". So, while Nebraska won the game, 16 to 7, Iowa
won the money, 2 to 1. However, it served the fellows
right for betting on the score. We are glad to have the
opportunity to lift our voice in protest against the
vicious practice. If Halligan could have only kicked
goals with both feet at once it wouldn't have been so
bad, but he couldn't. The sports should remember that in
the future.
