Whip Nebraska, %-6
By The As,oeiofsd Press

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 1.-Strik-
ing through the air in the first halt
and by ground in the second,
Minnesota's big football team
whipped Nebraska, % to 6, today.
The crowd of $1,000 saw Ne
braska shackle the vaunted Min
nesota ground attack in the first
half. Even the Minnesota fans
praised the work of the Nebraska
forwards.
But Nebraska fell victim to the
Minnesota air attack engineered
by Billy Bye and trailed at the
half, IA to o.
At the start of the third quar-
ter, it was Nebraska's Fran Nagle
who took over the aerial spotlight,
passing Nebraska to a quick score,
Ralph Damkroger receiving. But
Minnesota line ace, Leo Nomel-
lini, blocked the try for point and
Nebraska still needed. more than
a touchdown to get even.
Before the quarter ended, Ne
braska had been hit for two Min
nesota scores and the game was in
the Gopher bag.
Bye's first-half pitches for Min
nesota touchdowns went to end
Gordon Soltau for a 29-yard over
all gain, and then to substitute
back Dale Warner for IL yards.
The Bye Warner touchdown toss
followed a 29-yard run by Bye
on a fake pass. Soltau kicked
both the points, plus the two in
the third quarter.
After Nagle had staged his bril-
liant pass assault against Min
nesota-he threw for 43 yards in
an 80-yard march-the Gophers
turned on their power to sew up
the game.
It was Dave Skrien's show. The

Penn Is 21-to-0 Victor
In Dull Game With
Feeble Dartmouth
~ the Associotsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Cain
ing strength along the way, Penn
sylvania trounced a surprisingly
feeble Dartmouth football team
today, 81 to 0.
A crowd of $3.50 at the opening
Franklin Field football game OF
the season saw a very dull game
marked by an unending string OF
fumbles, pass interceptions and
blocked kicks.
Penn finally got going in the
last half, shaking Bob Deuber
loose on a 69-yard punt return
and Bill Rhoads on a 67-yard GAL
lop around end, both for touch
downs.
The fans alternately groaned
and cheered during an incredible
second quarter in which Penn
and Dartmouth traded fumbles.
Four of them came within the
space of a single minute and that
is probably some kind of a football
record.
All told, there were IL fumbles,
Penn's line, led by Herb Agocs, q
standout end all afternoon. blocked
three kicks. Dartmouth caught
five Penn passes. Wayne Linman
doing the intercepting on three.
Penn's first touchdown came
with less than three minutes to
go in the first half. Penn found
itself on Dartmouth's rs after
Agocs blocked a kick by John
Chapman.
There, a big shouldered gentle
man named Robert (Snaky) Gra-
ham slammed himself into the
middle of the Dartmouth line
seven straight times and when
the referee implied the pack, he
found that Graham had scored.
The ever-present Agocs place.
kicked the extra point. He per-
formed the same chore after each
of the other two touchdowns.
Penn made the outcome of the
game definite after 2A minutes OF
the second half. Deuber gathered
in Bob Tyler's punt on the Penn
81, ducked in behind some bone
jarring blocks and ran the dis
tance untouched.
With lightning suddenness,
Penn struck for it's final touch
down with two minutes remain
ing in the game. Rhoads took a
direct pass from center, headed
around his right end and kept
right on going for 81 yards and
a touchdown.
