play, a forward paaa giving him ' hla
chance. The scoring machine' continued Its
work without hitch during the remainder

The game waa the last one that will ever
be played on the present Nebraska field,
the new engineering building having been
ordered commenced ss soon as. possible
after the close of the season. kIt also
marked the last local appearance In tout- -
ball togs of Captain John Weller. whose I
career as a moleskin warrior will close'
next Thursday at St. Louis. The crowd t which watched the game was composed
mostly of enthusiasts on hand to bid. tha '
team farewell. Tha approval of the rooters ;

Doane men. Beltser, who replaced Harvsy
at right end during the second half,, also j
played hard foot ball, showing considerable j
promise as a punter. , '
Nebraska started out with the evident j
Intention of piling up a big score, and bad
