UNIVERSITY JUVENILES WIN
Second Team Defeats Omaha Aedics al
Vinton Street Park,
QUIET LITTLE CITY AROUSED BY VICTORY
EIeve from the Capital Display LacL
of Science, but shut Out oppO-
nents Through Superior
Team Work.

The price OF red fire took a sudden ad-
vance in Lincoln last night and the chapel
bell was reported still ringing when the
paper went to press. The Nebraska State
university made good yesterday even unto
the second generation. the scrub eleven de-
feating the Omaha Medical college team at
the Vinton Street park by a score OF 16 to 0.
The copital city men showed that they
bad had the advantage OF hard practice and
constant playing against such a strong
team as the first eleven OF the university,
and the doctors showed just the lack of
these things. And yet the former played
such a slo1 game hat their opponents
knew ALMOST as soon as they what the play
was to be and where they could go and meet
the ball. The medical men showed poor
team work and bungled their signals in a
fearful manner. In individual playing they
| displayed marked ability and their tack
ling was excellent.
/ The game was devoid Of sensational fea-
lures. The few long runs that were made
we're due to the poor playing Of the de-
fensive and not to the skill OF the side
with the ball.
The game opened with Lincoln guarding
the south goal. Stuart kicked on to the
visitors yard line and the oval was
brought back ten yards. The Lincoln eleven
walked the men with the tape steadily
towards the Omaha goal. Hazen. after the
first few downs, picking up q fumbled ball
and making twenty-five yards. This tumble
was Immediately followed by another and
this time Stuart secured 1t for the Medics'
The local team made their hve yards
twice with each time a down to their
credit. Then they we're forced to pass
| Co. 49, al -. N HtVHN which UaG CLAW
erly blocked by Lincoln and which lost the
doctors ten yards and gave the ball to their
opponents. The university students gained
fifteen yards by an offside play of the To-
Gals; twenty yards by a run around right
end and then pushed Hazen three yards
across the goal line. Morris failed to kick
goal. Time! 1Oh minutes. Score; 5 to o.
stuart Fails 20 Punt.
Stuart kicked to the university goal line
and Il was brought back to the twenty
yard line, where the medics secured 1t on
a tumble. Stuart attempted to punt again
with the same success as before and the
ball went to Lincoln. The locals retired
NJ. Smith with a s~prained ankle and sub
stituted Bartlett at right guard. After two
hve-yard gains the Lincolnites lost the
bali on a tumble. The local men gained
TWO gAfue Dy OtudTl putting u O as
yards and Norris Of Lincoln sending 1t
back twenty-eight on a return punt The
ball was given to Lincoln on downs. Then
in spite Of a weak ankle Hazen took the
ball for steady gains and Englehart did
the same thing until the ball was taken
over the goal line by HaEen, twelve and a
half minutes from the kickon. Morris
failed at kicking goal. Score, 10 to 0.
After the kickoff the ball was carried
back to the center of the field. And right
here the University would have scored
again but for a foolish attempt at tripping
on the part OF Lincoln's captain, Newton.
Scott OF the Lincoln team secured the ball
on a tumble and made a clean run Town
the held and threw himself over the goal
line between the posts. But as Scott was
running Umpire Turkey caught sight OF
Newton in the act OF tripping an opposing
runner and the ofhcial blew his whistle
so that 1t sounded shrilly above the din
Of the Lincoln rooters and he planted his
heel far down near the center OF the field
to where the ball must be returned. Be
fore play could be resumed time was called.
Score. 10 to o.
LincoIn Gets the BALL.
In the last half the ball was kicked to
the NEEDLES ten-yard line and owned
there. The locals punted and the ball
went to Lincoln. The ball was forced
down to within FIVE yards OF the needles
goal and from there EnglehaTt carried II
over. In this last play the referee saw
an oiside move on the part OF the local
team and in order to p~enslize Il called the
play on and brought the ball back to
within two yards Of its goal. This move
