 Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 2.--tUP)- Stanford wished Nebraska an un- happy New York--and made it stick.
 The Indiens from Palo Alto field- ed Rose Bowl team that was faster and smarter than Nebraska's, and the score of 2l to 13 is further (if un- necessary evidence that when you're faster in the feet and in the head than the other fellow, you cannot lose.
 The only time Nebraska looked a winner was during the first five nlir1- utes of the game when, to the as- tonishment of the sell-out crowd of 91 800, it power-housed 92 yards in seven plays for a touchdown and a 2 to o lead. The Cornhuskers were ahead 13 to ' later in the first half, but by that time Stanford had shown enough stuff to convince even the mayor of Lincoln that 1t wasn't going to be behind very long and that it had the class to win the ball | game.
 As a matter of fact, Clark Shaugh- messy, the miracle working coach of the Indians, said after the game that he was glad Nebraska took an early lead.
 'Hrhis team of mine is at its best when it is behind," he said. Put them on the spot and the boys real- ly feel at home"
 Biff Jones, coach of the Nebraskas made it clear in the dressing room after the game, that the Cornhusk- CTS had no excuses and that the team that won deserved to win.
 Too Much Speed
 "The Indians were too fast" Bih said. Much faster than we antici- pated. In Frankie Albert they have far and away the best quarterback I have seen in years, and in Pete Kmetovic they have one of the finest backs any of my teams have faced. I knew we were in for 8 tough af- ternoon when the fastest man on my team, Walt Luther, was dragged down from behind in the second pe- riod by Gallarneau, who isn't the fastest man on the Stanford team by any means. The defense they set for us was all right, too, especially against passes. They made it mighty tough for us to do any successful l throwing"
 l The Kmetovic Jones mentioned was the standout of the game, de- spite the 5e and a half minutes played by the little Albert. It was his runs with laterals from the flank that set up two Stanford touchdowns and it was his amazing 40 yard punt return that gave his team its third and clinching touchdown.
 No team has ever blocked with more effect than Stanford did for Kmetovic in the third quarter. Ma jor Jones said later that when the Stanford flash crossed the goal line, after reversing his field to escape 8 Sideline trap, he couldn't zee Neb- raska man on his feet. This run broke up the game. After that Neb. raska, trailing 13 to q. had to turn desperado, and the alert Californians intercepted the passes that were marked with danger signs.
 Nebraska got its second touchdown when Albert made his only mistake and fumbled a punt. Nebraska re- covered and Rohrig threw an aerial that Zikmund caught on the 1-yard line and fell across for 33-yard gain and touchdown.
 This heave put the Cornhuskers ahead for the second time, but it finished them for the afternoon. Af- ter that the Indians, with their model TT" offense working Ynagni- ficently, took charge and held con- trol to the final whistle. Stanford got it's second touchdown after a march of 65 yards that was fea- tured by resounding pass from Ala bert to Gallarrleau that was good for 42 yards. Gallarneau took the ball on the Nebraska 10 and went across, standing up. The first Indian tally had come in the opening period, when Gallarneau crossed the Neb- raska line on split buck after Kmetovic had picked up 37 yards on tanker laterals.

 Nebraska put up 8 great goal line stand in the third period, taking the ball on downs after Stanford had first down with only a yard and a half to go for Q score. But this dramatic defense was spoiled when Nebraska kicked out and the ball fell into the hands of Kmetovic. It was then that the Slippery Slav, aided by devastating blocking, put the game on ice.
 The statistics offer a pretty fair lline on the game. The Indians had IA first downs to g, gained 289 yards rushing to 118; completed forward passes to 3; gained a total of SAT yards (passes and running) to 128, and had only one pass intercepted while intercepting four.
 The victory climaxed a remarkable season for the Indians and Clark Ehaughnessy. A year ago the In- dians were the doormat of the Pacific Coast League, and Shaugh- messy was coach of six-man football at Chicago. But when the sun went down yesterday this happy union of Stanford and 4haughnessy had pro- fiiiead a kAafn that sat anliareIv atntl
