the foot ball experts OF the Colorado univer-
sny today and they were defeated by a score
o: 90 to 10.
The game was filled with good plays and
exciting features. The Colorado men on the
line averaged twenty pounds less than the

plays and end runs, rather than bucking the
stone wall that the Nebraskans seemed to
have erected. The first touchdown was
made by Benedict in twelve minutes, after a
series Of line-bucking by the visitors. Mel
ford kicked the goal. The Colorado men
braced up and scored a touchdown, after
blocking their opponents on their eighteen
yard line and making two good gains
through tackling. Score: Nebraska, 6;
Colorado, s.
In the second half Fullmer made a long
run right through Colorado for the next
touchdown and Erwin kicked goal. Colorado
punted to Nebraska's ftteen-yard line,
where the bail was juggled ana carried
over for a touchdown after two plays
through tackle. After trying the Princeton
goal Nebraska sent Benedict with magnif-
cent interference thirty-three yards and
then through tackle for twenty-one more.
Erwi was pushed across and thea kicked
goal. After working the sphe,e to Boulder's
thirty-yard line, Nebraska tried a Princeton
goal. but failed. Several more plays and

the Nebraskans succeeded in kicking the
ball clean over for a goal. The features
of the second half were the good .ounting
OF both teams and four attempts Of tho

aid him and the Senator made a personal
effort with the Indian bureau and after

reservation will have taken their lands in
severalty. which includes eighty acres to
each man, woman and child. After this Is
done there will remain nearly 1000, 900
