LINCOLN, oct. 10.-(Spccial Telegram
Held to a most Disappointing score by
the Washburn eleven last week, the best
the Cornhuskers could do today against
the strong eleven representing the Uni.
|versity of South Dakota was a tie. to 0.
For sixty minutes hott- elevcns fought
|savagely and at the conclusion even the
most partial Nebraskan was forced to
admit the Cornhusllcrs did not show
championship form.
Forced under the shadow Of their own
goal post by the aggressive and we'll
directed attack of the Coyotes. the Corn
|husker line stiffoned magniriccntly three
times and smothercd the South Dakota
plays before they had even started. In
that alone could the Cornhusker rootcrs
find solace. Thrice South Dakota at
tempted drop kicks, but twice the ball
went wild and the third time Halligan
broke through and blocked IA kick that
threatened to turn the tide of battle to
the South Dakotans.
Fail Mt Critical Moments.
Nebraska played a good offensive game
until the ball was we'll within South Da-
kota territory and then the Huskcrs were
unable to make distance. Halligan and
chamberlain hurled themselves against
1.-THE South Dakota line in vain and at
tempted to skirt the ends, but the defense
of the Coyotes was much too stout and
the trials were futile.
1t was a game of open play but neither
Nebraska nor South Dakota seemed able
to utilize the forward pass with any
measure Of success.
Although the Cornhuskers attempted
several forward passes, success did not
crown a single effort, South Dakota
Jared slightly better and managed to
make two passes good, one for four yards
and one for eighteen.
Team Play Lacking.
Nebraska's showing was again dis
tinctly disappointing. The team, with its
individual stars, showed plenty of power
in both attacks and defensive play but
tho well-oiled machinery necessary for
success was sadly lacking.
The need of a guiding hand at quarter
vas painfully apparent although Haw-
Ilns fought a plucky, determined battle
ind really displayed better form In re
urning punts than Howard last Satur-
lay.
Cameron, at center played a splendid
.ame and made Potts, over the eligibility
Il whom bitter controversy ensued,
aok like sick man. Chamberlain, Ruth
rford and Howard were able to gain
much ground, although not consistently,
nd Rutherford played his usually sturdy
efensive game. Vidal, Ferguson and
Iengel were very much in evidence for
outh Dakota, and contributed largely to
he tie score.
HuslSer Line Weak.
Nebraska's right side Of the line was
,eak and South Dakota found IT exceed
lgly easy to make gains. The secondary
efense was called upon time after TO stop
lays directed at that point.
Howard made a twenty-yard sprint from
fake punt formation. Nebraska never
eriously threatened the Coyote goal,
lille Chamberlain tumble gave South
dakota the ball on the Nebraska six
ard line. Three times South Dakota
lied to pierce the Husker line, hut each
me was thrown back, and Vidals third
tempt at a field goal was blocked.
Play in the first quarter surged back
nd forth. with the teams evenly matched.
tumble late in the quarter
ave South Dakota a chance, but It went
n naught The visitors carried the at
lck to Nebraska territory again in the
llrd period through a series OF forward
sses, and Vidal attempted a field goal
ON the twenty-five-yard line without
recess
Finish in Center of Field.
Nebraska took the ball punted out Of 4
