tack that completely swept all before
it, DOC" Stewards Cornhusker ma
chine came back here this afternoon
and soundly trounced the Hawkeyes
"a to II. The Huskers easily out
classed Iowa and shortly after thu
second quarter started it was eviden
that Stewards men would annex ;
victory.
Nebraska easily played its bes
game of the year today. The back
field, which had heretofore exhibited
such a woeful lack of driving power
and punch in the pinches, was almos
irresistible. 1t ripped the Hawkeye
defense asunder apparently whenever
it pleased and the Iowa line crumblet
like paper when the Husker forwards
charged.
Otoupalik the Boy.
Before proceeding farther it must
be mentioned that there was youth
named Hugo Otoupalik in the Ne.
braska backfeld. Hugo was easily the
star of the conflict. He could almost
have licked the Hawkeyes all by HIM
self.
Otoupalik it was who made four Of
Nebraska's five touchdowns and upon
whom Galley called whenever yards
had to be gained. The big fullback
ripped the Iowa line to shreds when
ever he plunged. He made gain after
gain of from three to six yards. The
Hawkeyes shifted their lineup to
check him, but they utterly failed to
stop his powerful plunges.
Use Forward Pass.
For the first time this year, the
Huskers showed real forward pass
ing attack, and it was, nine times out
of ten, that Otoupalik was on the re-
ceiving end.
The big Bohemian was as much OF
a power on the defense as on the Of
tense, and it was due great deal to
his work that Nebraska was able to
break up most of Iowa's attempts to
mark up gains by the aerial route.
But Otoupalik was not the only star.
He had plenty of competition from
Galley, Riddell, Dobson, Shaw, Cam
eron and all the rest of the eleven for
that matter. Galley played wonder
full game except for one slip, costly
tumble that netted Iowa a touchdown.
Riddell and Shaw.
Riddell and Shaw, fighting shoulder
to shoulder, made the right side of the
Cornhusker line veritable stone wall,
and hardly yard was gained through
their positions, while time and again
they hurled Hawkeye chargers back
for loss. By receiving two long for
ward passes Riddell made one of Ne
braska's touchdowns possible and
Shaw increased his share of the hon
ors by capturing fumbles two or three
times.
Dobson staged sensation by inter
cepting a Hawkeye forward pass and
running twenty yards for a touch
down.
The Hawkeyes got the jump on the
Huskers in the opening quarter by
scoring a touchdown shortly after the
Inauguration of hostilities and fol-
lowed this advantage up by scoring
three more points on forty yard
drop kick by Davis.
Begin to Saw Wood.
As Nebraska failed to show a thing,
Cornhusker rooters were badly dis
couraged. But the team wasn't, and
at the very start of the second quarter
began the vicious attack which swept
the HaWkeyes off their feet.
When the second quarter opened
Nebraska had the ball on its own
forty one-yard line. Straightaway the
Huskers started procession down
the field, which netted the first touch
down few moments after the period
started. Otoupalik and Galley carried
the ball the entire sixty yards. Galley
injucted a twenty-hve-yard run i'll the
march and it was Otoupalik who
plunged the last four yards for a
touchdown.
Never Again Headed.
That was the start Before the quar-
ter ended Nebraska had rolled up
three touchdowns, giving it a lead
which was never headed.
Immediately after the kick off fol.
lowing Nebraska's first touchdown
Davis fumbled the bali Shaw recov.
cred the pigskin on Iowa's 30-yard
line, and second touchdown was
marked up just as soon as Otoupalik
and Galley could rush the ball the re.
quired distance.
Otoupalik made another courtyard
plunge for the touhc down, this time
Corey missed the goal, the first time
but booted it successfully the second

to 10, and from that time on the Corn.
huskers maintained their lead.
Score Piles Up.
Three beautifully executed forward
passes gave Nebraska her third touch
down just as the second quarter
closed. The first pass was for thirty,
four yards from Galley to Riddell
This was followed by second pass
from Cock to Riddell for twelve
yards, and Riddell carried the bal
over the goal line, but the referee
called the play back, and the Corn
huskers had to do it over again.
