The Minneapolis journal., 1905-11-21

This department did not fall down on
it's hunch on Doc. Bixby of Lincoln. The
bard of the Nebraska State Journal
breaks forth into song in the following
strain: .-~.
Back now from Minnesota come 49,.
Nebraska's football heroes brave:
The gcphers had them going some
No hand to help, no power to save
In every play we lost peg,
AS like wolf upon the fold,
Came Ole with the iron leg
Our line was strong, but wouldn't hold.
The pigskin in our hands we kicked
To show the gOphers our regards
And the valiant Benedict
Went round the end for twenty yards.
And once our fellows saw the goal,
Its distant posts both standing pat;
They saw 1t once, but on my soul,
They didn't see it after that.
feared that this might come to pass
And in my anguish murmured low,
Ito have to pay so much for gas
At home and then be beaten SO.
'"To be thrown down on every hand,'
Said in an emphatic way,
''Is almost more than we can stand.h
And that was all had to say.
Some day the leaden skies will clear,
Some DAY the frOWn1ng earth Will smile,
Some day hearts will throb with cheer
They haven't tho, for quite a while.
Some day the earth It's joys will yield
In oldtime measure once again;
S)me day Well win on Northrop field,
But no one knows exactly when.
Assistant Coach Allen of Northwest
ern, saw the gophers play Nebraska,
Saturday, and went back to Chicago,
where he was delivered of a knock. He
pays his respects to the Minnesota team
and tells how highly he regards Mar,
shall as a player. Then he is quoted
as telling that Marshall "played dirty
football5 Saturday, played dirty foot,
ball against Northwestern, and that
Marshall "can't help being mucker'
This sounds good from Northwestern
Particularly good from a school where
the authorities waited until the last mo
ment last year to file protest against
Strathern. It sounds good coming from
a school concerning whose tactics 9
warning to "look out for your eyes
came to the ggophers last year year; " week II II

players brought home fine collections o1

could invade the football precincts Of
Northwestern and make the lega

the board and Allen g remarks-if hi
ever made them-are uncalled for.

Hurst would put it.
Northwestern may regard some of tn
minnesota players as muckers, but s
far as is known there are no priz
lighters on the gopher lists.
