ANXIOUS T0 MARE 1T EVLN Nebraska Foot Ball Boys Going After an Towa Soalp Today. LAST YEAR'S DEFEAT TO BE AVENGED | & Have Been Made in the Nebrask ven-—How the Two Teams Compare--Plans for the Great Lacrosse Game. Great Tmprovemen ‘T'his afterncon at the old base ball park the Nebraska uud lowa elevens will meot in & game ot foot ball as friendly as the rules of play will permit. One year ago the lowa oudfit puta very neat coat of defeat on the Nebraska team, out only after as pretty a struggle as was ever witnessed. It was main strength and awkwardness, backed up by clear grit on part of the “Bugeaters" as tho Nebraska boys ara fondly called, sganst main strongth and ecience on part of the Hawkeye champions. No one felt ashamed of the defeatof the ‘hiome team; on the contrary every truo Ne- braska beart beat higher when the fino showing mado by a practically untried team was noticed. ‘Loday it will be different. 1t the Towa boys win this afternoon it will be after a contest they will remember long after the ink on their ‘sheepskins” has turned a Gusky brown. Last year Nebraska was woak on the rush lins There seemed very little effect in her efforts at the wedgo, most trinls resulting in 00 gain, while on several they actually lost ground, being borne bodily back by the fur- ious onslaught of the Iowans. Her blocking and Interfering, though more effective than her rushing, wus Dot up to the stand- ard of & winning team, Thero was 80 little kicking iu tho game that a criticism of the punting abilities is impossible. The backs did some very good work, Flippin showing tho finest by all odds. His tackles were superb, in sovoral instances interrupt- ing somo very zood intentions on the part ot tho Iowa runners, and ho made one eighty- yard run that is still talked about in foot ball circles here. On the whole, the Ne- braska team put U vetter gamo than was looked for. This year the toam contains six new players, and s much strouger than last year. After the de- feat of tho Tigors of Iliinois and the scores Kan made against lowa as compared to that made against Nebraska, the supporters of Nebraska are confident of victory. A special train, decked out 1n college colors and bearing a crowd of foot ball enthusiasts, will come up from Lincoln confidently ex- pecting to ses the scarlot and cream wave triumphantly over the field. Bigger and Stronger, In polat of *“'beel” Nebraska has about the same aavantage she had last vear, but lowa will not find the center so oasy as 1t was, In the first place the Hawkeyes will miss Stiles — *Oia Whiskers”— whose bushy beard preceded the gaug so ofton as the V. went through Nebraska’s line last year, and in the second place Yont, Hopewell and Jones form a center, agaiust whicn the opposition dushes as a wave against a solid cliff of rock, only to be broken. The ‘“‘hole makers” will find tueir efforts largely wasted. *'Our” boys have somo tricks, 100, which they will spring on the visitors, Th uoderstand the game betler, and will very \likely realize the hope of their friends. All arrangoments for the game have been completed, and s large and fashionable crowd is expectea out. In passant, 1f yon want to honor your preference, the Nebraska colors are scarlet and cream, the lowa colors are. old gold, und thuse of the Omaba Athletic club, whosa guests the teams are, are blue and white, Nebraska's New Team, Only five of last vear's pleyers ure on the team this year. Filppin, the great colored half-back, is playing a harder and better game thao ever. The Illinois boys who went down bofore the Bugeaters on October 24, gave Flipmn the credit of being the best hali-back they had ever played against. Besiaes being & fuot ball player he is an all- around athlete. In Jast spring in the stata field aay meet he broke the world’s collego rocord in pulting the shot, won the huraie race and the heavyweight wrestling cham- plonship. Moshor plays full back this vear, the posi- tion he played lust year after White was in- jured. He is by all odds tho best man for the place Nebraska has ever had, Ho has a cool head and a steady nerve, two very im- portant things for a full back when it comes to the sciatch, and the captain relies on put to keep tho ovponents from making touchdown. Mosher is sure and swift at punting and seldom misses goul, Pace, the kid on the team, plays quarter as he did last year, He s oue of the best men on the team. His passiog the bull 1s nearly perfect. Although weighing oniy 130 pounds his interferonce 1s as zood as tho best and he has a facuity of always being near tho ball, Johnston plays his old position as right half and captains the team with his custowm- ary coolness and decision, With tnooxception of Pace, he is thosmallest man ou tie teaw, but he makes up in strength and dexterity what he lacks in beef, FHis dlocking is especially good. He has held the state championship lightweight wrestling for three years, Hopeweil is & new man on the foot ball field, but be bas already won a reputation as one of the best centers in tbe west. He more thsn flls the place of “Audy,” Nebraska's great center of lust your. Ho is well supported ou the right by Jones and on the left by Yont. the same boys that guarded “Andy" in last your's gamo. They are both powerful players. No hole 1s ever made in the line whore they plav. Jonos is the man that carried Hamill, the Kansus hole- maier, on his ‘' back for fifteen yardas iu the late game. It was Jones thut Huff, the bully of the Iilinoils veam, slugged Jjust as time was called, because Joucs was tho ooly man hy over played against that he could ot down, Siucluir as right and tlowe as lott tackle aro new men. ‘They aro steady, sure und strong players, and aro quite an improve- meut over last year’'s tacklers. k. Yout, bas made an enviable record this vear as an end man, but will not accompany the team. Ho had bis shoulder tiisted, und a smail bone vroken 1n the vame with Kansas, Chureb and Oliver will look after the two ends and it is safo Lo say no men on the team understand their position batter, Church 1s @ spriuter and & sure tackle, the best on tho team. Oliver is perhaps tho bost all-arour man on the team, Ho has played full back in most of 1ho wames tbis year, is an ideal end and a splecdia balf, orts, . T, Sanford, or “Sandy,” as be is popu- y called, bas beld us many, if not more honorable positions than any other man iu ocollage. Ho is president of the lsading liter- ary, on the oxecutive committes of the ath- letio associatiou, one of the head men of the Young Men's Christian association, bas beon on the base ball team {or threo yoars, and on- ne foot ball for four vears, this year as cap- tain, and 18 one of the most conscientious students in the university, ks playiug is without eriticisi, as he is” one of the surest men on the teaw. “Old Bport’ Dawson distinguished bim- solf for the first time as ball-back iu the Kame between 8.

His place G well filled by Aldriob, who, altpough & . B, maa, has shown himself to be one of the is & new best, He bas played in every game this yeoar, and at one time was put in as regular center, but was taken out on account of the weakness of one of the guards. This woak place tias veen filled now and the center will be as strong as ever. Aldrich is only 20 yoars old, stands five feet signt inches and weighs 175 pounds. Hull anc Johnson will hola down right and loft ends. These are the “kids" of the team, one being 17 and the othoer 18 years of age. Hull played last yoar with Gojumbia colleze ot Washington, D. C., and 1s a foxy boy Jdchnson I8 a new man but has showu up in good shape, boing a sure tackler and quick to_fall on the ball. Riggs is a sophomore this year and began playing foo* bull late in the fall. Ho is six feot taii, 20 years and weighs 178 pounds. He is quiet, earnest in his work. and plays foot ball all the time. In the Kan- sas game he was through the line as often us any of them, and being a low tackler, ho always had tho man Zollman 's the newest man in the team Heo entered the law department late in the term and came down to foot ball practice the first day ho was in scnool. He was put in tho rogular team after n week's trial, as he 18 an old_player, following the ball in gooa style. Ho woighs 187 puunds and can run in about eleven seconds, besides being a very hard man to hold. P. D, Van Oosterhout shows the result of systematic gymnasium work. Kighteen months ugo he was an invalid, but by regu- lar work he so developed himself tuat he won the hammorthrow in the interst field meet lust June, and took second 1u pu ting the shot. He Lias been giving especial attoution to starting gquickly this fall, and may zo in us haif-back next year, instead of loft tackle, present position. “Billy” ' Lareabee, at the last moment secured permission to accompany tho toam, as his father, ex-Goveraor Larrabee, Lad re- fused his permission to play after’ reading tho exageorated accounts of his injuries in State University of Iowa-lown colloge game of November 16, Billy in good condition now, and do his same old work of bucking the line for sure gains, 15, S, Whito is the substitute end—Nervy White, as he 13 called, gives the best de- scription. Hoas also able to go in asa sub tackie, having played that position on the second eleven. iHarl Meyers as & sub lmlf and fullback is a source of & great deal of confidence to the men, for they know that the retirement of a man will not waterially weaken the team. Crum and Blair are ‘also subs, Crum as half back and Blalv as quarter, Botn are quick and active, being the two fastest men on the team, but ure light. Crum holds tho record of the vniversity for fifty yurds, and 1s s gritty as any ons can be.” Blair only weighs 130, but is 24 vears old. He plays short stop and change piicher on the 'Varsity nino, of which he 1s captain, Urr s sub line man, and a good one, too. He is & senior law. 24 years old, and weighs 105 pounds. His greai height, 6 feet 1 inch, is rather against him, as he has great diM- culty in playing low onough. The team.is somewhat handicapped from the fact that Stiles is*'under positive orders from his physicians not to play, and also by the absence of lotto, whose parents re- fuse to allow him to play.

The first regular game of lacrosse ever played in Omaha will take place at the fair grounds at % o'clock this afternoon betwoen the newly organized Omaha team and the crack Kearney club. The game will be for the chumpionship of Nebraska and will be a close and interesting contest, The Omahas have put in tho pdst two or three weeks in the most industrious practice, and are capa- ble of & bold and aggressive battle, In any event thoy expect 10 give tho Kearn: run for their lives, and Captain Douglas says they will leave the field only us champions of tho state, The iKemneys, however, are a fleet and stalwart crowd, and_ it will require the exercise of the utmost skill and strategy to det2at them. Their leader, Captain Pullen, seems to think they have a ‘‘lead pipe,” and says ho will administer a castiga- ton to the presuwmptuous Omaha amateurs that will lnst them turough sevoral sepsons As this is the introduction of this beauti- ful and exciting caie here, 1t is hoped vhat, big crowd will beon band to encouraze the new orgauization in its tanduble enterprise. ‘They have been at consicoravie expense in brivging the Kearneys hers, and deserve every encouragement.

W Youk, Nov. 23.—The pride of Yale and Princeton 'varsities are tonight tucked snugly under the covertets of the Fifth Ave nue and Murry Hill hotels respectively, and Pather Knickerbocker is nursing cavefully the bit of printed pasteboard, whorowith to foast his oyes upon the strugglo of the mor- row.

They are ail “rooters” and will torm 6,000 or more of thoir kind who will gather at Manhattan lield to witness the fray Evorybody knows there is but one fray on Thanksgiving day- that on tho football field between Yalo and - Princeton 'varsiues. Yale and Pricceton havo played sixteen pames of football togsther, of swhich Yale won niue and Prioceton six. One mateh of 1877 resulted 1 8 tie, The teams meet tomorrow, under conditions which have no precedont in the history of these aunual matches. Hich- erto, with two exceptions, each team has been, up to Thanksgiving day, an undefeated one, and these two excaptions were both oc- casioned by a Harvard victory. This yvear Princoton has been defeated by the Uni- versity of Pennsylvauia, which, previcus 10 the nreseut season, has never beon sori- ously cousidered in the struggle for thu championship, and Yale renches Thanksgiv- g day again for the second time without & point belng scored against her by any of her rivals, When Yale's representatives climbed aboard the 3 o'clock train this afternoon tho usual demonstrations of enthusiasw accom- panied their departure. At the depot elicers were given for each member of the team and “a clean record for the season,” a sentiment which was greeted with thundering re- sponse. A similar demonstration was made by Princeton when the train rolied out of the depot, and the Tigers could ask for no vetter send-off, A comparison of the two teams may be as follows : What May Be Expected. Yale has had to show her full strength to her rival in the Fume with Harvard. 1’ricee- ton must assurediy have gained some advan- tago from secing her opponents play in a closely contested game, but this advantage is niore than offset by tho exy the Yale men acquirod at This experience was particularly valua- blo to Yale i that she has haa several green men on her team and the lesson they learned from the Harvard most veterans for Thurs- day’s contest, between the vaiue of watch- ivg such a game as thutat Springfield and plaving in 1t there can bs no comparison; aud 1f Princeton rests on ber hope in the kuowleage ot Yale's play, acquired in watch 1ng the Harvard pame, her chances for vic. tory are indeed slim. As a team the Yale men are in as good con- dition as can be desired. The only weak spot in the entire eleven 13 Laurie Bliss’ weak kuee, and this is improving wondor- fully since the Harvard game. Hois likely to be able to play the whole game unless something unexpected occurs. At tho begianing of the season Princeton was playing well and as time went on the vlay improved, Then the men began to overestimate their strength and to nis- take promise for perfection. Accidents added to the harm already done by over- confidence until & crippled team found it- self tacing an opponent whose powers it underestimated and disaster followed in the game h Pennsylyania. Princeton has only plaved one ganme since its defent at Manbein, and that against Orange, and tho scoro against thut team, 23 to 0, undouptedly convinced tho Princetons that a thor- ough reform was urgently uecded. Sice that time Princeton bas doue moro vlaying aud less talking. The manazement wisely cancelied the gume with Cornell and devoted itsell 1o hursing the iujured players and giving the abie-bodied ones Lha best of coaching uund practice. The result of thls reformation will be doubtiess visible tomor- row. ‘L'hoinjured men have recovered sad all overcoufiaence bus vanished, Vory Littie Choice, Yale will play the same wen which repro- sented her at Springlield. Comment on the playing of the Yale menasa team is un- necessary. The furious sweap of their line ana tho speed of their backs has been rehearsed many time already this season and therr strength and skill is ever acknowledged, but compared individually the choice between Yale and Princeton teams is slight, and rememberiug their play early in tho season it will not be wise to predict a disastrous defeat for the orange and the bluck. [or the last three weeks I’rinceton has kept very quiet, always s good sign, and the men have worked hard and conscientioasly. It will not do 0 co pare scoves and deduce conclusions the from. 7The Yalo men have dono remarkably well with thelr material this year, but their work is nov colnpleted, and a hara-fou, eame awaits them on I'hunksgiving da Yale wins tomorvow she will have to hor victory, for the indications are that the game of 1502 will be no walkover for tho chambions.

Ser Up for the Alleged Car b Tho report of a car famine in this state is denied by the railrond officials, grain men and at the offices of the Western Car Servico association. 1t is asserted that so far from there being @ dearth *5f cars, the yaras in this city are (illed With ompties, and train load after tratnload I8 /being sent out daily. The grain men siAte that the new corn cron has not yet begun to move, and that thero has not boen a fall 1 the last fifteen years when the cron has been so backward mbout starting. Thev say that the grain trado is making oyen l6zs demands for cars than usual, und they eannot undersiand why there should ho a shortage of rolling stock [§ the heels of the stories of a car famine cowes the report that the railrouds are collecting their empties ou side tracks at various points and refusing to supply de- muads for them, giviog it out that it is im- possible for them to obtain cars to supply those who are <o desirous of shippiug over their lines Some grain buyers are having somo diffi- culty in obtaining curs, but it is nov because the ‘roads on which the demands are made annoi supply them, but rather because tho dealers aforesuid uré track vuyers and the roads are disposed 1o protect the elovator men agaiust them, on the wround that the elevalor men ure regu shippers over cheir liaes, whereas tho track buvers aro located on one road one week and on another tho next, wud are not regarded as strictly leritimate deule The assertion is made that there is no Tenson why the railronds should not assist the elevator men in_attompting to freezo out the track buy and it is stated that it may be set down as a fact that when the track buvers bave no difically m_having cars sot off for them on side tracks, busincss is not particulurly brisk with the roads. Thero is also a disposition on the vpart of the railrouds to keep their cars from going off thewr lines owing to tueir cxperience three years ago, when so many of tho of the Union Pacitic cars were loaded throush to Ubicago, and instead of bewg at onco returncd were thero again loaded for tho east, becauso of tho car short- age on eastorn lines, aud it was sixty and in many instances ninety davs beforo the cars were returned to the road that owned thom, oven with the assistauce of the tracers who were sent ofter them, Itis ninted 1n somo quarters thotan ar- rangement with the elevator men, by which the Ifter are to be enabled to collect full storazo rates during the present dulluess in the grain market, may have somethinir to do with the difficulty that Las been exverienced in securing cars for the shipmentof grain that s ready for market, Not Ghost Dancers, Pixg Rivee Acexey, S.
