Omaha. Oct. f6.-Minnesota took
the measure of the Nebraska foot
ball team today by score of IA to 0.
The score hardly reflects offensive
playing of the two teams, as at least
nine of Minnesota points resulted
from carelessness. But no excuses
can be made for Nebraska team,
since Minnesota excelled in all ma
terial points of the game.
" The contest was characterized by
both accidents and roughness, the
most serious result of which was a
broken leg for Johnston, of Mime
sofa, which will put him out of the
game for the remainder of the year.
Twice Minnesota players were warn

threatened with expulsion from
