Nebraska, "a; Knox. 0,
LINCOLN, Oct. Especial )-Nebraska
trampled over the speedy eleven from Knox
college at Antelope park this afternoon.
exhibiting much better form than a week
ago and scoring thirty-four points in two
short halves Of twenty and twenty-five
minutes, while they kept the Galesburg
men from getting near their goal.
The fumbling which proved so costly in
the game with South Dakota was not in
evidence. and the Cornhuskers, instead Of
suffering from fumbles, gained a great deal
as a result OF the poor handling Of the
oval by the men from Galesburg.
Nebraska's backfield was a terror to the
Knox line and could not be resisted. Play
after play, directed at tackle and center,
netted the C~ornhuskers good gains at al
most every attack.
The wings Of the visiting eleven were
skirted for many long gains. Rathbone at
fullback hammered the line and smashed
his way through for several yards during
each half.
Frank, right halfback, who fumbled in
the South Dakota game, was again the
sensation, Keeling off yard after yard on
runs and drives at the line. He wriggled
and writhed his way through the defense

slipped away fell down, but got UP and
plowed on for more yards. He followed
his interference. which on most occasions
was good. and proved a puzzle for the OPP
posing eleven all through the game.
In addition to his great offensive play
ing he starred in the kicking department,
missing but two goals from touchdowns
and booting two successful goals from
placement out OF three attempts.
Although one or two glaring faults were
noticeable in the Nebraska line, for the
most part the men there played a good
game. On the defense they were irwin
chile and the Hnox men did not once
make downs through them. on the Of
tense their work was not what It viii
have to be In order to give Minnesota a
hard contest, but It was much superior to
that Of the first contest with South Dakota.
Harte and Temple.
Harte n Temple were again the stars
In the line. They were called upon often
TO carry the ball on a tackle-around play,
and nearly every time they attempted this
they made long gains. Temple succeeded
in carrying the ball better than Harte, but
the big Omaha boy did better work than
Temple in opening up holes in his side
OF the line. II was Ahibubh MS NaNAAc
that most OF Nebraska gains were made.
He opened up at times a hole large enough
for three men to fall through.
In the punting Gates OF Knox was not
in form and ne was outclassed by Captain
Beltzer OF the C~ornhuskers, who booted
the oval for forty and fifty yards.
At right end Mayor, who played his first
game for Nebraska, showed up fairly well
and gives promise Of making a sensational
end.
Slaugh and Gates prevented several big
gains by the ~Cornhuskers. being the men
who tackled Frank and other Cornhuskers
when long runs were being made.
The game I'm the second half was spoiled
by a drizzling rain. which set in dtrlng
the lntermission, and caused the field to
get muddy. Fast play was out of the
question after the opening ten minutes
Of the second session and the Cornhuskers
aid not do much OF the sensational run
ming and forward passing that marked the
opening half.
In the opening half, however. the Corn
huskers were able 70 open up with the
fast plays and for the entire period OF
twenty-five minutes had the KnOx players
completely outclassed. AT all points the
visitors gave way under the smashing OF
the Nebraska line and the charging and
running OF the COrnhusker backs.
The forward pass was never used TO bet
ter advantage by a Cornhusker team n
