The <% v and Coach. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. %.—(8pecial gram.)—Before the greatest Thanksgiving | day assemblage that ever witnessed a fool ball game on Nebraska fleld, Booth's Corn huskers today administered a decisive de- feat to Illinols university, Nebraska scor ing three touchdowns and sixteen points, while the Illinl were denfed the solace of even u single score. The vietory rounded out another year for the Cornhuskers with- out having sustained a defeut, and adds further to the fame of Booth as a coach, whose puplls also played the entire season of 12 without permitting an opponent to score a single point aguinst them Nebraska's triumph today was achieved by the display of superior tactics, and be- cutise the Cornhuskers were in better phys. fcal conditfon than thelr adversaries. illi iols waged @ desperate defense in the st half, and besides holdiug Nebraska sufe, carried the ball more yards than their opponents. Hooth's men took a surprieing brace In the final half, and the fury of | thelr attack was far too powerful for the | 11lint to successfully resist it. Three touch- downs followed In quick suecession, the Cornhuskers sweeping down the field by a succession of steady plunges and across the lllinols goal. Nebraska's offense was in its best form of the year, and. although 1linols fought with Spartan courage for | every inch, the Cornhuskers had scented | victory, and wopld not be denied Scores Which De Not Com ‘Tochnically, Nebraska scored a touchdown and a goal from the fleld, neither of which 18 placed to their credit in the final score. After the ball had been carried over the Illinols goal it was called badk on the ex- action of & penalty for holding, and the touchdown was disallowed, Captain Bender on the succoeding play dropped back for & (ry at'a fleld goal and booted the ball squirely between the llnols goal posts but again the penalty was exacted and Ne- braska, besides losing the 5 points, was set back twenty yards for holding on the lne. Only three yminutes of time remained, but the Cornhudkers redoubld the fury of their wttack and. plunged ahead for the final touchdown, an electritying sprint by Hender on the Guarterback run for twenty-five Yards and a criss-cross for twenty yards, with Wilsun carrying the ball, putting the fiual touches on Illinols' defea A thrilling struggle for supremacy was witnassed in the first half, in which neither team could score. Hnd runs zetted prac- tieally nothing, the runmer being downed almncst invarfubly for a loss, and the game resolved itself into « steady assault’upon {he line, the tiini having a slight advantage the yards gnined. Only once were tive Dlini within hailing distance of Nebraska's goal A serles of line plunges advanced the ball to Nebruska's twenty-yard Nne. The defense of the Cornhuskers stiffened and Moynthan fell back for an attempt at & fleld goal. The whistle sounded the end | of play hefore he could get his boot into action and the last and only chance of Nlinols to score was cheated. Nebraska once worked the ball into Tilinols' territory, but a fumble by one of the Cornhuskers' backs cost his team possession of the oval. Wilson Rips Up Li Nebraska's superior physical condition was manitest m ' after the whistle unded far the second half, and when the energy of Me Tlinolsans gave signs of wan- ing the Cornhuskers bent to their task with still greater dotermination. Twice Nebraska was compelled to resort to a field goa!, both of which were blocked, but stil Booth's puplls Would not be denied. Wilson, Ne- braska's powerful right end, was pulled back of the line and charged forward for | a succession of cyclonic advances which Illinols was helpless to stay. Once off the checkerboard Captain Bender instituted a series of tackle masses, ending in Eager being pushed through for the initia! touch- down. Wilson scored the second touch- down elght minutes later after Nebraska had rushed the ball trom the middie of the | field in & steady march toward the Ilinols woal, the gains varylng from twe to ten| yards, Coach Huff sent in five substitutes in the final moments of the game in an effort to check Nebraska's onward advance, but his plan falled of it's purpose, Nebraska charging steadily down the fleld and send- ing Bell crashing through the final score. In yards gained the honors of the strug- gle are very much in Nebraska's favor. The Cornhuskers are creditéd with 335 yards and Ilinols with 118 yards. Illinols was | held elght times for downs and forfeited the ball or was forced to punt through In- ability to gain the necessary five yvards. while Nebraska suffered the same fate only twice. Tliinols lost seventy yards on pen- alties and Nebraska fifty. In punting, Benedict, Nebraska's kicker, easily out-| booted Barter and Nebraska gained from five to fifteen yards on every exchange. Coach Booth #41d: “The game was a splendid cimax to & syccessful season. I cannot commend the Nebraska team too strongly for the fine courage and spirit it displayed today, Illinols gave us & hard fight, but spirit won for Nebraska, as, it will every time. Nebraska was in fine phy- slcal condition and but for a few bruises every mAn on the team finished practically uninjured and fighfing as hard for victory as when the game began, I am proud of the team." Assistant Coach Westover: “It was the best game Nebraska has played this year!
