ciaD courageously TO the
last ditch against excessive ODDS.
Coach Rockne's great Notre Damo
football team was forced to bow in
defeat TO the giant Nebraska eleven
here this afternoon, the Cornhuskers
scoring two touchdowns in the sec
ond quarter for II to 8 victory
the first Nebraska triumph over the
Irish since 1917 when they won
10 0. 1t was the second time in four
seasons that Notre Dame had lost.
While greatly Outp!ayed during the
first half. the South Bend team was
far from beaten and the contest was
not definitely decided until after the
Irish in the second half had un-
loosed a spectacular forward pass
attack which resulted in their lone
touchdown. scored after the most
brilliant individual feat Of the game.
Great Big" Team Won
The greatest crowd that ever
thronged Nebraska field was on
hand for the game and it went away
fun of praise for the Irish clan and
expressing the view that "a great
big team had licked great little
team" For the Nebraska team
which had a decided reversal OF
form against Syracuse several weeks
ago-played super-football this az
ternoon; a brand OF football which
save them a margin just a little too
great for the super-passing OF the
Irish later in the game to overcome.
The difference in weight between.
the elevens was marked the Corn
huskers having a margin which av-
eragcd l. pounds TO the man. They
utilized this power in a crashing.
plunsiag assault at the light Notrc
Dame line-weakened by the loss OF
Lieb. and later of Brown and Cot
ton-which was irresistible. Led by
their pluns.ns captain, Hartley, ana
ably abetted by Llewelyn and No
bic, this mode Of attack ripped The
| Irish line wide open and netted gain
after gain.
Crush IRISH Line
This crushing offensive resulted di-
cectly i'm the first touchdown which
came early in the second quarter af-
ter two concerted marches down the
/ field. The first march was wasted
when Noble fumbled on the Notre
I Dame one-foot line. The second

( a great rum by this same Noble. who
/ dashed IS yards through the Notre
/ Dame secondary defense after ru-
! ceiving a pass from Hartley.

a big edge. completing eight at
tempts out of II for an aggregate
I sain of 10 yards. while the Corn
I huskers completed but two passes
