THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. ESTABLISHED JUN MANY DROP TO DEATH Beventy-Five Persons Orash Through Roof of Glass Works. TEN ARE KILLED AND FIFTY INJURED Dimabled Victims Roast on Iumaoss in Bight of Friends. WERE WATCHING CLOSE FOOT BALL GAME Free Amphitheater for 'Vamity-Stanford Contest in San Francisco. ROOF GIVES WAY UNDER GREAT STRAIN of Five Hundred Persons at=Danger ia Ke- Weight Proves Too alized, but Not in Time to Be Averted. BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.—By the col- lapso of the roof of the San Francisco and | Pacific glass works at Fifteenth and Bryant streets this afternoon about sixty persons | were more or less injured, some of them tatally. At 3:15 o'clock the number of dead was reported as ten. The victima were watching the foot ball | game Letween the Stanford and University Iifornia teams when the root beneath | them gave way, precipitating them to the floor of the factory. Some of them fell upon the furnaces and one man of unknown identity was burged almost to a crisp. The | crash of the falling roof was heard a great distance away and thousands of people hur- rled to the scene. Mcssages were sent to the city recelving hospital and the morgue and all the avallable ambulances were hur- rled to the spot. At the Central receiving hospital at 1 o'clock five of the injured had beem re- celved. At the time of the accident there was but one dcctor on duty at the hospital and he was totally unable to attend the es as they came in. A summons was sent out Immedlately calling upon doctors in the nelghborhood to come amd render assistance. Owling to the confusion existing at that tima the neme of but one of the injured has been learned. That one was Al Essmann, who was frighttully cut about the head and ta Root Colla, The crowd was gathered upon the roof of a bullding directly over the furnaces of the glass works. When the root collapsed every occupant was precipitated upon the heated top and rolled off. Fully forty were Injured, nearly all of them seriously. Seven of the dead are boys ranging in age from ten to ffteen years. They were found lying In & row and most of them were badly mangled. There were at least 200 people on the roof when it collapsed, and of these at least sixty went down. Those who were fortunate enough. to be on a eolid -section ot the bullding scurried down helped remove the injured. The heat around the lurnaces was so great, however, that to many no assistance could be remdered and they slowly roasted to death. Not 200 yards away were 20,000 people watching the foot ball game and when the news became known there was intense excitement among them. The ushers went through the crowd calling for doctors and many sur- goons hurriedly left the game. The living victims from the disaster were taken to various hospitals. The Southern Pacific hospital, within two blocks of the glass works, was soon overcrowded and many wounded had to be turned away. They were hurried to St. Luke's, the city rocelving hospital and nearby drug stores. So scattered are they among the varioux institutions that it is impossible to tell exactly how many were hurt or how seri- ously they were injured. The coroner did not have enough wagons to remove the dead and they were taken away In express wagons. Many elegant private carriages were walting outside the foot ball grounds and they were pressed into service to take away the wounded. A high fence surrounds the glass works grounds and thousands of people attempted to got inside. They were restrained with diffculty by a large force of police. List of Dead and ured. About seventy-five persons fell through the roof upon the redhot furnaces and glass vats below. All were horribly burped and it is feared that in addition to the ten deaths already reported there will be sev- eral more. The dead: WILLIAM VALENCIA. GEORGE EXTELL. EDWIN FLAHAVEN. M. VANDIGINA. J.

It was sclence One ugainst a combination of science and ud the combination won Thero is no question remaiuing as to the Nebraskaus' obility. They are unquestion- ably among the chosen. They played hero- lcally and their ambition to make a higher score against Minnesota than did any of the great teams wag fulfilled. Coach Booth had his men in perfect condition. Their team work was faultless, for which large credit I8 due to the coach and to Captain Brew. The Nebraskans are lightweights, averaging about twenty pounds less per man than the Minnesotans, but even the powerful line of the opposition was unablo to successfully br the defense. Most of Minnesota's galng were made by punting. The tackle- back formation used with such telling effect by Yalo against Harvard and Princeton was tried by the visitors, but without avail. Nebraska Held Well, Nebraska repeatedly held Minnesota for downs and several times when the ball was perilously near the goal 1ine succeeded, with no apparent difficuity, in regaining the ball from the opposing team. There was con- siderable punting throughout the game an? in this play Minnesota excelled. Nebraska's punts were all too high, vhile those of Mins nesota were low and long. In one respect Nebraska was sarprised. It was anticipated that Minnesota's ends comprised the wealk part of the team, but the first few minutes of play demonstrated that they were as strons as any other part of the team. Pillsbury, who was substituted for Cook a few minutes after the game began, played a star game all the way through. In the first half ne gained the ball on a fake kick, eluded all pursuers and ran seventy yards for a touchdown. This was the most spec- tacular play of the game. Pillsbury made the two touchdowns for Nebraska and Ringer kicked both goals. Hoyt for Min- nesota made two touchdowns, Aune one and Knowlton kicked a goal from the field, but all goals after touchdowns were missed. The game was witnessed by fully 5000 persons; Minnesota rooters comprised one- fifth of this assemblage. There were from 300 to 500 people from Omaha. The Minne- sota crowd left tonight on two speclal trains. They are jubilant over the victory, but somewhat disappointed at the score. This morning considerable money was wa- gered at the hotels that Minnesota would score sixteen more points than Nebraska and not a few bets were made that Nebraska would not score at all. This money, of course, was all won by the local crowd. Nebraska Kicks Of. Captain Page of the Gophers was the lucky man in the tcss-up and took the south goal, giving the pigskin to Nebraska, Minnesota therefore had the choice of posi- tions during the first half, the ground being downgrade toward the Cornhuskers' goal and the wind blowing slightly from the south. Ringer kicked off at 2:38 p. m. and Doble caught the ball and carried it back ten yards before he was downed. Van Val- kenberg, the husky left halfback of the Gophers, tried the Nebraska line, but falled to advance. Minnesota at once began & punting a8 well as a line-bucking gamo. Knowlton lifted the ball over Nebraska's head for seventy yards, and throughout the game proved a beautiful punter, except when he tried to kick goal. Nebraska im- mediately suriendered the ball on a fumble, suffering at Intervals all through by fum- bles and off-side playing. Minnesota put the ball into play at the thirty-yard line on Nebraska territory. At this point they tried thelr first place kick for goal, missing by & scratch, the ball hit- ting the east goal post and dropping out- side. Nebraska kicked off from the twenty- yard line very poorly, netting them mot to exceed ten yards. Ringer's punts were too high In the air and did not go far. At this point Minnesota gave the first exhibi- tion of the superfority of beef over sclence with light weight behind it. Steady gains through the line, aided by a fifteen-yard n by La Frans, brought them within five yards of the Nebraska goal and Aune cai- ried the ball over for the first touchdown. Knowlton falled to kick goal. Score: Min- nesota, Nebraska, 0. Brisk Exchange of Pants, Ringer kicked off from the center. Min- nesota returned the ball fifteen yards and lost the ball on a fumble.
