EASY FOR MINNESOTA.
Decisively Defeats Nebraska by
Score of q to O.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. October 10
Minnesota today took another step to-
ward the western foot ball championship
by decsively defeating Nebraska by -
to 0. Minnesota outplayed their oppo-
nents but in the second half the Ne
braskans took big brace and kept
Minnesota from scoring a touchdown.
Minnesota started like whirlwind. The
first touchdown was made in three min
utes of play, and two more followed be-
fore the quarter ended. The Minneso-
tans used the forward pass with great
effect. Minnesota scored another touch
down in the second quarter, but Nebraska
seemed to grow steadily stronger and to
solve the Minnesota attack.
Nebraska showed flash Of form at
the beginning of the second half by max
ing first down at the start. but Mime
sofa did not let the visitors get far. The
forward pass used frequently, but
penalties and fumbles kept Minnesota
from getting within scoring distance.
McGovern was the star of the day.
Besides making two successful dropkicks
he gained twice as much ground as any
other man. played beautiful defensive
game and ran the team with judgment
and skill.
