CoRNHUsKERs JUBILANT.-
Showing Saturday Gives Team Visions
of Championship.

Lincoln, Neb, Oct 21-Football gos-
sip about the campus today would lead
one to infer that Nebraska students
were almost satisfied with the results
of last Saturdays football game with
the Gophers. The only point on which
the enthusiasts are not satisfied is that
the Cornhuskers failed to get the long
end of the score. They are. however,
jubilant over the showing that their
representatives made.
There Is no doubt that the defense put
up by the Cornhuskers was a surprise
to all, even the coach for with two in
experienced men in the line, it was
thought that the team could not with
stand the onslaughts from the noted
backfield Of the Gopher aggregation.
Ewing, who played right guard, had
not practieed more than an hour this
season, and Wolcott, the other guard,
had been out but three times. 1t
was the first game for both of these
selves strong in the first half. but were
not able to hold their own throughout
the game. as was evidenced by the
score.

Nebraska's hard luck was often heard.
1t is said that the first one was made
on account Of the failure of Nebraska's
right end to notice Minnesota's left end,
who concealed himself near the side
lines, on the play which brought the
ball to the Cornhuskers' five-yard line.
The excuse for the second touchdown
is given that If Beltzer's punt had not

VERY FEW KNOCKOUTS.
Jack Johnson's Successes Nearly All
ON Decisions.

Jack Johnson's Successes Nearly All
ON Decisions.
Commenting on Jack Johnson's abil-
1ty as fighter, sporting writer in the
Milwaukee Journal says:
In his fights on the coast, especially
ty rounds, Johnson rarely won by a
knockout. AS a matter of fact, nearly
every man he faced lasted the full
twenty rounds, although johnson by
dint of cleverness gained the decision.
Back in 1902 Peter Everett. who
would be more quickly recognized if I
called him Mexican Pete, went twenty
rounds with Johnson. In the same
year George Gardner lasted twenty
rounds with the man who is now
Hank Griffin, who was never much of
a demon in the ring, also stood twenty
rounds before Johnson in that year,
and afterward went fifteen rounds,
which was all the articles called for.
The fights with Griffin tok place at
Los Angeles and in each case johnson
won on points.
In that particular year Johnson's
record was not entirely devoid of
knockouts. however. He finished Joe
Kennedy twice in four roundS-once in
Oakland and once in San Francisco
and he knocked out Jack Jeffries. a
brother of the retired champion. in
nine rounds at Los Angeles.
In 1902 Johnson's record is full of
twenty round decisions. Denver Ed
Martin lasted that long with him in
Los Angeles and Sam McVey was twice
defeated by Johnson at the same place
in twenty rounds. 1t was in this year
that johnson and Big Ferguson did
their twenty round clown act at
Colma.
In the following year Johnson did
up Sam McVey in the twentieth round
of contest at Mechanics pavilion in
San Francisco. In 1905 johnson lost
TO Marvin Hart In twenty round bout
at Woodward's pavilion.
The shortest fight Johnson figured
in in San Francisco was his four
rounds with Joe Kennedy. He knock
ed out Jim Flynn in ten rounds in
Coffroth's arena, and his last battle in
this neck of the woods was his ten
/ ound. affair with Al Kaufman.

One of the Worlds Most Cruel
Monarchs. a Crafty intriguer
and a Degenerate Of the
Higher CIDER. .
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. T. !

The Young Turk movement which
caused the revolution of last July and
put into active operation the defunct
constitution was not only in the inter
est of progress, but was essentially an
effort to end the abuses of Abdul Ha-
mid's reign. Since the Young Turks
had the army with them. the sultan,
with his usual cunning. made virtue
of necessity and apparently bowed to
the popular will. There was a large
party among the Young Turks in ia
vor then of depriving the aged in
triguer of his throne. If not of his
head. but more conservative counsels
prevailed. A great feast was pre-
pared. at which Abdul Hamid ate with
his parliament, the leader of the Young
Turks. Ahmed Ria, sitting at his left
hand. Everybody was affable. and all
solemn mummery, but perhaps de-
ceived nobody. At any rate, it de
ccived nobody long. for scarcely had
the sultan wiped the crumbs from his
mouth-the first occasion III history, by
the way, that any sultan ever ate with
his subjects-than he was up to his old
tricks. He began intriguing and schem.
ing to overthrow the constitution and
the new regime and to that end bribed
officers and soldiers right and left. The
result of all this government by spies,
bribery and underground methods was
the recent abortive counter revolution.
