MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 21. (Special Tele grain.) "VeKtc: n conferenco ' football, a played by Minnesota, asal:i asserted Us superiority over that brand of tho grid iron game played by the leading univer sity of the Missouri valley conference, when the powerful Oophers, through bet ter playing in every department of the name, triumphed over tho fleet Corn huskers on Northrup field this afternoon by the fieore of 21 to 3. Two touch downs, resulting; from the forward pass; ono touchdown coming through a straight drive at center, and one goal from place ment gave Minnesota Its victory over the Cornhuskers. A kick from placement in tho closing minute of the content 'by Owen Flank placed three points to tho credit of tho hard-fighting men from Lincoln. Minnesota has a powerful, offensive eleven and a staunch, rugged and defen sive machine, against which the visitors were unable to gain consistenily. The Nebraska, line, as had been feared, fell Covin under the attack of the Williams players and gave way yard after yars. It was not eo much on the defense that tliu line failed as It was on the offense. lrere the Nebraska forwards were not ttrong enough to keep the opposing line men from sifting through and breaking up Cornhuskers" play, often before these plays had started. (cithers Play Tflth Knlrit. The Minnesota men had a charge, dash and push that felled the Nebraska de fense at practically all times. In the Minnesota back rich! rowers, Pickering and Copron displayed excellent worlt at all stages. Pickering worked wonder fully, both on the offensive and defen sive. Playing defensive ond, lie drove Into the Cornhuskers' Interference and often stopped two and three men. The Nebraska backs lost their Interference through the heroics work of tho Minnesota captain, and their pet plays were good for naught. Orv the return of punts, the Minnesota backs scintillated. They caught the ball eocure'.y and then rushed back for many yards on the return. Pickering, Capon and Stevens all were excellent In this part of the piny. Cupron, to whom Minnesota owes one of Its touchdowns from tlft '.forward fling, won a warm spot in the hearts of the local rooters through his broken field run ning. He swerved off from tacklers, tide stepped and gained yard after yard when carrying the oval. , All the Minnesota men exhibited a fine tendency to plunge forward after being tackled. This last lurch forward did much for them. Several times It feoulted In their . Just barely making their downs. ' Tliey were seldom thrown back after being tackled. The light Ne braska players were frequently forced to turn and fall toward tholr own goai line. The Nebroskans, . for tho moi port, tackled hard and well. Minnesota players always tackled hard and brought tho Cornhuskers to the ground with a thud. Bright Spoil for Nebraska. There wre moments "of brilliant play by tho Cornhuskers In all quarters of the game. The offence gained grounu fuur times on the forward pass. The backs ran the Minnesota ends well in the' second and fourth quarters. Racely made away for two gains of twenty yurds. Potter ran well and evaded the tacklers for good gains. O, Frank was speedy all the time and once made a run of thirty yards. Elliott, playing left guard for Nebraska, made much trouble on the defense. He was especially bril liant during the closing minutes of the contest. Two forward passes attempted by the Gophers were crushed by h!m. A puiit by Pickering on the Minnesota fifteen-yard line waa blocked througn Llllott's grand rust into Minnesota ter ritory. The blocked ball was recovereu by the Minnesota captain. Nebraska was handicapped in the punting, Pickering booted the oval for forty and forty-five yards regularly, while O. Prank did not get more than .thirty, and often only twenty-five yards, On the exchange of punts the Gophers gained a great deal. In the opening quarter, the punting nearly coat Nebraska a touchdown. A fumble five minutes after the game started gave the Oophers the ball on the Nebraska twenty-yard line. Then.' because the Nebraska punter could not kick tho ball back any great distance. Minnesota kept the oval In the Corn- husker territory. Three times the Ne braska line was forced to hold the Gophers for downs wltbin the ten-yard line during tlUs first quarter. Once the masterful exertions of the Cornhuskers kept the ball from going over when It was within one foot of the goal line. Ecilt Do Govt! Work, Nebraska's end did fine work In the first half, and the Gopher found that the players. Cbauner and Lofgren, could nut be outwitted. For the first thirty minutes It looked aa If Tobin and VVallnder, playing wing positions for Minnesota would be easy for Nebraska to get by. They were skirted for several food gain. They braced in the second half, with Pickering pialng defensive left end and kept down the total yards made on ends by Nebraska.

Outplayed all . through the last half of the game, Iowa lost to Cor nell today by a score of 3 to 0. The visi tors' score came on a drop kick by Quarterback West in the last throe minutes of play. Cornell's success came after n clong series of miserable work by the Iowa backfleld in handling punts. Curry was hurt early in the second half and was compelled to leave the game, and after that tho Iowa eleven was unable, to play either on the offense or defense. Me Glnnis and Mnloy, who took Curry's place at quarter, failed to catch a punt In the la.it hulf and their work gave the Cornell team a great advantage. Cornell scored after Whltsell had taken the ball from the middle of the field to the Iowa tenlyard line on a fake smash on guard. Two plunges at O'Brien failed to gain and West dropped back for an easy try at a field goal. The Cornell team started fast and played the Hawkeyes off their feet for the first five minutes. After that the Iowa team, strengthened for the rest of the first half, was continually threalen- ng tho Cornell goal line. Trlckey at one time recovered a fumble end ran to the Cornell fifteen-yard lino before he was stopped. Here poor gen eralship in trying a fake smash cost sev eral yards and Hanson was stopped two yards short of the mark on the third down. If. West played a great game for Cor nell but Kramm failed to show well. Captain Whitsell was too strong for Bowman of Iowa and the Iowa guards were outplayed. O'Brien nnd Alexander at the defensive tackles played great hall and but for them the disaster might have been worse. Lineup: IOWA, Cornell. Haitian Buaanbark .... Wbltaalla ('.)
