LINCOLN, Oct. 2s-Cspecisl Teiegrsm)
Nebraska and Iowa battled 10 a tie. 81
to 8, in a fierce game on the new Corn
husker gridiron this afternoon. The Hawk
eyes scored their points on two drop
kicks In the opening half and the Corn
huskers made their six on a touchdown
ana goal In the second half, after the
charging backs and powerful line had car
. RED the ball for thirty yards on straight
foot Dall. The Hawkeyes could make no
gains against the dogged defense put up
by the heavy Nebraska line. and only the
toe OF Right End Hyland saved them from
a shutout. His two successful goals were
made from the twenty-five and thirty-five-
yard lines.
During both halves he attempted ten
drop kicks, but failed on every attempt
but these two in the first half. Two min
utes before the game closed he had a
chance to win the struggle for his team,
when the Hawkeyes had the ball on Ne
braska's fifteen-yard line. From that place
Hyland tried a drop kick. but the ball
went very wide of it's mark. and the last
chance Of either sides scoring was gone.
Nebraska lost many yards on fumbled
punts In the first half, and It was the
failure Of HascaIl to get one Of these
tina gave Hyland his han to boot the
ball over the crossbars for a goal. Has
call was new at quarter, being placed
there instead Of Bentley, who was injured
in the Minnesota game. He failed to hold
the ball on several occasions and this
fact probably caused Iowa to get the lead
In the opening half. In contrast to Has
call was Quarterback Fee Of the Iowa
eleven, playing his first game for the
Hawkeyes. He ran his team well and
made excellent returns of punts, being re-
sponsible for great gains in both halves.

The forward pass was worked with good
effect by both sides and each team made
one big advance by resorting to an on-side
kick. A forward pass from Fee to ny.
land, on which play the right end ran to
the Nebraska ~twenty-yard line. where he
was downed by Captain Beltzer. resulted
in Hyland's second drop kick.
Captain Beltzer played the best game Of
his foot ball career today. saving his goal
line twice. His first brilliant feat was IN
running up from behind and downing
Hyland on the twenty-yard line. In the
closing minutes Of the second half he
caught Fee on the cornhusker's twelve
yard line after the fleet little quarter had
carried the ball seventy-five yards in re-
turning a punt. and was in the clear for
a touchdown.

Walk Through Line.
Nebraska's single touchdown came In
the last half. through the hammering and
batterlng OF the backs into the Sits opened
in the Hawkeye line by the heavy Corn
h0skers. From the thirty-yard line. the
Cornhuskers went down the field on
straight foot ball. driving the backs
through tackles and center for & touch
down. During that period their play was
irresistible. Twice on the defense, the line
made a heroic stand; once in the first
half after the Hawkeyes had gone to the
Nebraska ten-yard line. the Cornhusker
front was forced to hold on its vineyard
line. In the waning minutes OF the game.
