Something was lacking In the Corn

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, Hallgan, 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 so much paper before the Hawkeyes.
On the defense and on the offense, the
Hawkye line upset the Nebraska rank

heretofore played such an important part
in Nebraska victories. was uneven and
practically of no benefit TO the men
carrying tie ball.
Only for a brief few minutes in the
third quarter did the Cornhuskers show
their old-time form. Then q 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.

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 II was
along the aerial route to Howard or
Halligan from Potter or Haligan. Halli-
CAMS tackle was the only invulnerabls
spot on the Nebraska line. Halligan's
booting was nothing short of miraculous.
