ball 20 the Husker ten-yard mark, but
that was as far as they got. A little
later Lindsey essayed a drop-kick but
II fell far short. Kansas got its oppor-
tunity 10 score through a tumble by
Cook. HIS only misplay Of the game.
Lindsey punted and the plucky quarter
couldn't make his fingers cling to the
pigskin. Heath fell on II. on the Ne
traska thirty-yard mark. A forward pass
from Lindsey to Holt gave the Jayhawk-
ers ten yards. and a couple OF line
plunges and runs made up the other ten
yards With four downs Kansas failed
to advance foot from the ten-yard
line. Three attempts at forward passing
were broken up by the Cornhus@er de-
fense, and when line buck was tried
not an inch was gained. That was the
only time Kansas had a chance.
stone Wall from start.
In the opening quarter the Jayhawkers
put up a stone-wali defense. that made
Nebraska supporters feel a bit uneasy.
on two occasions in this period did the
Huskers advance the ball to the Kansas
three-yard line. only to be he'd for downs.
Then Chamberlain and Rutherford were
thrown back, and II looked as II the
Jayhawkers were to give the Huskers a
tight battle for the honors
But after the first quarter II was all
off; Kansas defense was no longer a
stone wall. the Huskers broke II down
as II paper. II was the same Kansas de-
Tense. but the cornhusker backfield was
up on its toes and no defense could
stop Il.
Honorn 10 Chamberlain.
To Guy Chamberlain must go the prin-
cipaI honors OF the game. The big
Husker end was always to be depended
upon to make gains and his forty-five-
yard run and another run OF thirty yards
were the most sensational plays Of the
game. His end OF the defense was i'm
pregnable as II ever is, Kansas rooters
admitted after the game. that It had
been years since they had seen anything
like him.
Captain Rutherford was another star.
he always Is plucixy Dick was in every
play and his line plunging was wonder
TO behold. The surprise Of tho day. was
the playing OF John Cook. who substi-
tuted for Galley. II was Cooks first big
game. but he played II like a veteran.
He ran back punts in a manner that
brought back fonc recollectIons OF
Johnny Bender. He squirmed through
for fifteen, twenty and thirty yards ana
returns when q seemed that he would
be smothered by Kansas tacklers. on
practically every return he evaded half
a dozen Of the enemy before he was
down.
Gardiner at His Best.
Jimmy Gardner. the Omaha boy. was
another who played his best game OF the
season. Jimmy went into the fray in
the third quarter. after both Proctor and
Reese. had been used at right half. And
Jimmy's line piunges were almost at a
par with those OF Rutherford He con-
sistently made gains OF four, six and
eight yards on line buck.
otoupolik's work was an Improvement
over his showing In previous games. The
husky tuilback easily showed he had Il
In him. and he was always good for
first downs when three or four yards
were to be made.
In the line Corey and Abbott were the

Riddell and shields all did good work
But Corey and Abbott were the men Who
ripped the Jayhawker's line apart ana
made the big holes for the Husker backs

before they could even set started.
