of Indiana ran and passed the Cornhuskcrs right into oblivion.
Led by Rob Iloernschcmeyer, the Bomen took to the airlines
for a steady stream of touchdowns, lloernsehenieyer ihrew
six touchdown passes to his leamniates, and aided in setting
up two more, for a grand total of a 54 to 1:1 victory over thft
lluskers. Altho Bob played his usual brilliant game of ball,
he was not to be outdone by the rest of the boys in the Tndiami
baekfield.. Mangold, Allerdiee, Sanders and Sohienbcin all
played dazzling football. A Iltisker sub also stood out for fine
baekfield
playing, Bill Miller,
slight 140 pound sub baekfield
man, made both of the Husker's
two touchdowns.
The Huskers, green, outweighed,
and all around outplayed, showed
considerable improvement over
