Cornhuskers Spring Surprise
and Tie Score in Last Quar-
ter of Hard Game With
the Gophers. .
BY KARL LEE.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. H.
Especial Telegram.) - That same
eleven-man driving power which
made the "Stiehm roller" famous in
the west on the gridiron in the years
gone by enabled Coach Henry
Schulte's 1919 Nebraska Cornhuskers
to lower the naughty banner of the
Minnesota Gophers and subject
them to the humiliation of a 6 to
E tie. TO Nebraska the game was a
victory. 1t was ragged, bum and
brilliant foot ball all messed in the
same boiling pot. The Huskers
showed a speed and foot ball ability
that is little less than marvellous.
Gridiron rooters gave them the ad-
vantage in this afternoons game at
Northrop field. On paper the Husk-
ers are said to have won.
Right from the start the Corn
huskers began their attack. Suffice
to say, that the Gophers entered the
field with feeling of haugh.y aloof-
ness that developed into laughable
spectacle in the first quarter. The
Nebraska backs. Howarth and Cap
tain Dobson, evidently smarting I'M
der the 10 to 0 defeat suffered at
Iowa week ago. tore through the
line for gain after gain.
Use Aerial Route.
The Nebraskans brought into play
a bit of aerial work that was bril-
liant. Dale to Kellogg and Ho-
warth to Dobson and Dobson to
Swanson were forward pass combi-
nations that brought frequent gains.
The Nebraska ends. Swanson and
Kellogg, who have been the weak
point in the Husker machine, played
with sterling sureness..
Minnesota, however, proved a
powerful conner. On taking the ball
after Dobson punted into Gopher
territory the Minnesota backs. Phil
lips. Ruben, Haertel and Captain
Lamp, tore through the Huskers
line and around the ends for long
and repeated gains. -.,
At one time in the second quar-
ter. just preceding the Gopher
score, the Minnesota lads made
first downs on three successive oc-
casions bringing the ball from their
own territory to within striking dis
tance. Haertel scored for Mime
sofa.
Schellenberg Star.
Schellenberg ran IS yards for d
touchdown for Nebraska in the last
quarter. The latter score, with the
run accompanying. was the most
brilliant play Of the game. The
Huskcr back took the ball on the
Gopher 35-yard line and i1urdling
eight yards through left tackle,
paused the fraction of a second as
two stalwart Minnesota linemen
made move as if to tackle him.
Twisting OH his left foot the fleet
Nebraska star veered to the right
and, running through scattered
team with five men rushing before
and beside him as interference,
crossed the goal line. The score
was greeted with tumult.
A few seconds later. however.
Dale, giant Husker fullback, missed
goal. Early in the second quarter
when the Minnesota back, Haertel,
had scored touchdown, it was Ed
Ruben who missed the goal and the
point that might have meant victory.
Husker Line Wins.
| 1t was the Husker line that won.
Bearing up under the powerful at
tacks of the Minnesota backs. who
are conceded among the best in the
west, the line held on almost every
occasion that warranted. But for
the few minutes in the second period
when the Minnesota machine was
going at its best. the line played the
entire game on the defensive.
Three times during the game the
Huskers had their chance to score.
On one occasion when Quarterback
McGlasson chose to make the for
ward pass the regular thing the
team Unanswered four downs, vast
ing as many forward passes. Two
passes, Dobson to McGlasson, long
and rangy, were muffed by the Ne
