terrific plungeS were what counted,
while the Corn Huskers learned that the
Kansas line could be aSsa1led TO more
advantage than the ends. Both the lines
were weak on the defensive and strong
on offense. The linemen were pretty
closely matched, although the corn
HuskerS were several notcheS ahead OF

The work Of the Nebraskans showed
experience, while the playing of few
of the JayhaWkers smacked very much
of the novice. Neck hugging and tack
les waist high were some of the modes
employed by the Kansas players to
bring down their men. The Hnemen
were the guilty ones on each occasion.
Then the Nebraska ends on punts by
K. U. had a trick Of tangling up Hart
and Algie, thus delaying them in getting
down the field. Coach Booths backs on
the offensive all take the Sprinters start,
a scheme which enabled them to strike
the line very low and hard.
