Nebraska's goal has not been
crossed this season. The Thanksgiv-
ing game with Northwestern resulted
In score Of IL to 0 in Nebraska's IA
vor and her years record Is clean.
The game was witnessed by the
largest crowd ever gathered on the
| Nebraska field. 1t was close con-
test, much closer than the support
ers of the scarlet ana cream were
looking for. The men from the
Northwestern PLAYED the best game of
year and Nebraska did rot make
as good showing as usual. The
battle was full OF close situations
and there was grave danger at ties
that the purple would score. That
this did not occur Is due to lack of
skill on the part Of the visitors and
the ability Of Nebaska to pull herself
together at critical times.
One thing mars the remembrance
Of the game. Many believe that
Umpire Allen acted without cause In
! frequently penalizing the cornhusk-
ers 1t cost touchdown already
earned and the loss Of the ball on
m my occasions
At the start Nebraska played fast
ball, her backs finding the Moth
western line wide meshed sieve.

repeated gains Northwestern early
took a strong stand and forced Ne
braska to punt and on securing the
ball started the tandem formation on
tackles which during the entire game.

more frequent gains In this spot.
Nebraska having partially solved the
tandem formation. Northwestern
won several opportunities to kick
goal from field but two were lost

Baird with the ball as 1t was snapped
back
The coInhnskers on several occa-
sions seemed to be unable to resist
the charges OF the purple warriors.
! Once or twice the line seemed to GO
| TO pieces and occasionally an opening
was found which other teams this
year did not locate. The men were
not playing their game Northwest
ern hammered constantly at the
weakest defense, and made the most
OF her advantage. When Nebraska
did wade into her opponents, size
was repeatedly penalized, causing
losses Of the ball that made the root
ers sick The visitors were penal
