Deadly Passes.
It was the deadly aerial gunning of Iowa's
Tom Farmer which spelled defeat for the
Huskers at Iowa City a week back. Today it
was the deadly aerial bombs of Dale Bradley
and Fred Metheny that kept the Cyclone sec

enemy 44-yard stripe, Nebraska marched 56
yards aground straight over the double stripes.
Key figure in the march was sophomore full
back, Ki Eisenhart whose plunging on third
and fourth downs accounted for four straight
llusker first downs enroute. Bradley flipped
15 yards to Al Zikmund on the Cyclone four
yard stripe ot set pins for the score. Zikmund
leaped high to snare the leather from the beck

points.
