Buutes the advantage of q strong wind
on their backs. Fair kicked off and
ellis caught the pigskin on Butte's
15-yard line and with a great deal of
artful lodging carried IL back 25
yards. The smoke-eaters were DESTROYS
of sizing up the offensive work of their
opponents, and the ball was passed TO
Iasswell, who punted Il 73 yards down
the field and when Fair finally fell on
IL, IL was only two yards from the
posts which were ornamented with the
visitors colors. The Buttes followed
up the long kick in beautiful style and
two or three of them dropped on Fair
as he fell on the ball. The Nebraskans
started in to buck the Butte line, but
as they made no impression on 1T at
the first attempt they changed their
tactics. Heyfron was sent around the
left end and was carried down by Per-
ham after a five-yard run. Shedd gal

one and one that gave Donald ellis
admirers an opportunity to test their

Benson tossed the ball little wild
to Perham and 1t rolled along the
ground in a promiscuous style that
sent a shiver through the crowd. The
Nebraskans made a concerted rush for
IT, but ellis snapped IT up. With Cap
tain Thomas warriors all around him
his first impulse was TO down the
sphere, but after a hurried glance
which took in the whole situation he
changed his mind. Taking a step or
two backwards he slipped out of the
struggling mass like an eel and, tuck
ing the ball under his arm, he darted
off around the left end like flash,
while the spectators yelled themselves
hoarse. The Buttes recovered from
their surprise almost instantly and
gave him as good support as possible,
but he was off so quick and was run
ming so fast that there were only two
or three of the Butte who could keep
| anywhere near him. He shook off six
| or eight OF his opponents as easily as
though they had been so many flies,
/ and he made a clear gain of 20 yards
and went down with the ball on Ne

through the center for five yards and
then flew around the left end to a

tunity Dygert had had to show the

playing was cheered to the echo. The
