Hot Pace Tells on Teams.
The pounding and the pace We're tell;
ing on both teams. Minnesota. kicked
off to Nebraska and the booting put
the balloon the cornhusker' 3 5-yard line
where it was started for a runback OF
eighteen yards. The cornhuskers push
ed it up to the 42-yard line, where "a
loss of five yards and failure to gain
forced the punt. The kick sent the
ball to Minnesota g 40-yyard line and
the gophers started their hammering,
a. proc ding which soon had the ball
back on Nebraska g 20-yard line, where
another tumble was followed with a
penalty for the Minnesota team. The
cornhuskers gained about ten yards
against stiff opposition and then start
ed and carried the ball five yards into
Minnesota territory, thru calling into
play all Of their remaining strength
and strategy. They were forced to punt punt
nesota getting the kick on her own IS
yard line made a trial and kicked to
the 45-yard line, where the play ended
with the ball in the possession Of the
cornhuskers. They tried to keep the
ball, Captain Borg starting to walk off
tie field with it. Captain Current was
looking for that ball for the souvenir
room and walking over took it from the
cornhusker captain.
AS to the fighting thru the game, the
story of how the touchdowns were
made tells the tale. The first touch,
down came after a fight that was a
procession. The second touchdown fol
lowed the play which was almost en-
tirely within the Nebraska side of the
gridiron. The third came out of Min
nnesota territory following the kickoff
and the struggle, the real fight was al
within the cornhuskers' lines. The
fourth came straight out of gopher
territory without a delay and went OF
thru the cornhusker territory without
pause. The fifth was within Nebras
ka ground, save for fifteen yards in
vasion of gopher territory on punt
and the sixth was divided more evenl,
as to territory than any Of the pre-
ceding battles.
