Longman played like demon at high
tension. Clark and Embs made gains
with will. Dunlap didn It get chance.
He wrenched his sore knee in the first

Michigan rooters were silent between
the halves. It was something new-no
score to Michigan's credit. And the
ball had been in the wolverine territory
a good share of the half, too. Two
things consoled Michigan. Nebraska
could not gain against the maze and
blue defense, and Michigan could con-
sistently batter the cornhuskers' line.
| The great reason for no score lay IN the
dead word "fumble.
