Something was lacking in the Corn
husker attack. The team was lacking
in that old spirit and fight, which has
given the University of Nebraska an
envied reputation from coast TO coast
and It Is also apparent that the sturdy
athletes were suffering from an attack
of "chestiness" Those two delinquencies
nearly defeated the Huskers and, as re-
lated before. Halllgan, playing his last
game for Nebraska alone won the battle.
Hawkeyes Crush Line.
The Nebraska line that sinew bundle
OF beef and strength, which has foiled
the attacks OF the mightiest. crumbled
like 80 much paper before the Hawkeyes.
On the defense and on the offense, the
Hawlkye line upset the Nebraska rank
on every occasion. The CoTnhusker in
reference another virtue, which has
heretofore played such an important part
in Nebraska victories. was uneven and
practically of no benefit TO the men
carrying tie ball.
Only for brief few minutes in the
third quarter did the Cornhuskers show
their old-time form Then series Of
masterfully executed forward passes and
desperate line plunges by Rutherford
swept the ball down the field to the six
inch line, where Potter squirmed over
for the lone Nebraska touchdown.
Potter Always Ready.
/ Nebraska's secondary defense and Herb
Potter playing safety, kept the Iowa
score to one touchdown. Time and again
Garretson, PEARSON. Carberry and Gross
broke through the line and were only
downed by that secondary defense on
numerous occasions the Hawkeyes started
well-balanced forward passes that es-
capped everybody but the vigilant Potter.
The little Husker quarter spoiled many
passes which, IL successful. would have
given the Iowa runner clear field to
the goal line. Chamberlain, the sensa-
tional fhalfback, who had In previous
games broken away for frequent long
runs. was powerless. Not once do he
make a gain of over six yards. Ruther-
ford while consistent, barely averaged
five and six yards Delamatre worked
up to standard at fullback and Potter
and Halligan and Howard shone bril-
liantly. but the rest Of the team was mis-
erably weak
First Point Scored.
Potter, Halligan and Howard. three men
playing their last game for the Scarlet
and Cream, were the real stars When
ever Nebraska made long gains it was
along the aerial route to Howard or
Halligan from Potter or Halligan. Halli-
CAMS tackle was the only invulnerable
spot on the Nebraska line. Halllgan's
booting was nothing short OF miraculous.
Thre eplace kicks out five attempts were
accomplished One was from the thirty
eight-yard line, another from the thirty
and the third from the twenty-five-yard
