Monday was not an ideal day for foot-ball.
Instead of the cool, crisp weather
which puts energy into the knight of the
gridiron, the day was warm and made
hard and fast playing a burden.
It was the supposed "big" game of
Columbia's football season, and a large
crowd, including a good sprinkling of
the fair sex turned out, but it was a very
quiet crowd indeed. Only once was
enthusiasm or spirit displayed and then
it did not last long. The game was a
battle royal and was brilliantly contest-ed
although Nebraska had somewhat
the best of it, especially in team work.
Nebraska made two touchdowns, and
kicked both goals, while Missouri failed
to score. Nebraska's backs played to-gether
as one man, and time after time
went through Missouri's line for good
gains. Crandall at left half, Montgom-ery
at right half, Cook at full and
Westover at right taukle played the best
game for Nebraska, although every man
played well. Their team work was fast
and all of their plays went with force.
The Tigers played as good, if not the
best game Monday that they have
played this year, but still the line in
places was weak and Nebraska found
little trouble in finding holes. Smith
of the second team played left end and
got into the game nicely in the second
half. Thurman was in poor condition
to go into the game but played his usu-al
strong game until he was compelled
to quit, when Kruse went to full, and
Frampton went in left guard. Yant,
who is a new man in the game, showed
up well in defense work, and Kruse
went through Nebraska's line several
times for good gains. Cooper was in
the game good and strong. Crandall
made a run of 40 yds around Missouri's
left end and made the touch-dow- n in
just 3 minutes after the game started.
The second touch-dow- n was made in the
second half and Missouri was pushed
back by a series of line bucks, until the
ball was pushed over the goal line.
Ringer kicked two nice goals. Missouri
had the best of Nebraska in punting.
While a number of the players were
forced to retire, none was hurt seriously
