Chaloupka and Collins were nearly i'm
pregnable to any attacks.
Iowa Wears Itself Out.
The Cornhuskers worked so fiercely that
the Hawkeyes were soon worn out and had
to drop the straight line plays. During the
closing five minutes of the last half Cha
loupka was severely hurt by having his
neck twisted and was forced to retire.
Bowers went In as substitute, playing
at guard, while Harte was shifted to tackle.
Kirk. Hyland and Gross played star ball
for Iowa. The sensational tackling of
Gross was a feature of the game. Kirk,
while he lasted, worked hard and returned
balls with great speed. He punted the ball
forty and fifty yards. The last fifteen
minutes of play were of the most grueling
sort. Nebraska, with the game won, had
to fight to its utmost in order to keep the
score in it's favor. Iowa was desperate and
strove with fierceness to overcome the lead
of the Cornhuskers. Players were laid out
on both sides. Nebraska tackled the Hawk
eyes with a sureness that wore out their
opponents. Iowa after a brilliant showing
on the offense for ten minutes in the middle
of the last half exhausted itself and Ne
braska, still playing with vigor. began to
advance the ball toward the Hawkeye goal,
when time was called with Nebraska in
possession Of the ball on Iowa's fifty-yard
line.
king Coles men came out Of the game
considerably bruised up, but determined to
get into shape for Ames. Tonight they are
all waiting for a train to take them back
to Lincoln, and rejoicing over the hard
earned victory. Iowa students had planned
a big celebration for this evening, expecting
that the Hawkeyes would win, but there is
no celebrating here. Everything is as quiet
as on a common occasion. The Iowa city
is filled with hundreds of visitors, Iowa
alumni and others who came to see the
game. They began to pile into the town
early this morning before the inhabitants
were up and by noon the streets were lined
with people ANXIOUS for the contest to start.
The Cornhuskers, led by king Cole and
Manager Eager, arrived in the city from
Cedar Rapids at 1880 this morning over the
trolley line. A curious crowd met them at
the station and followed them to the hotel,
where they were admired until the coach
took them off to the grill and sleeping
room. The Nebraska team was taken to
the gymnasium at 2 o'clock, where they
/ dressed. At that time the seats on Iowa
field were well filled.
