Lincoln, Oct. 20. (Special.) Nebraska's sturdy 1917
Cornhuskers triumphed over Notre Dame 7 to 0 on Nebraska
field Here today arid made their record with the Hoosiers two
victories out of three starts.
i The score in no Way indicates theQ
marked superiority of the Corn
tuskers over their Indiana riyals.

content to. play pimple foot ball Only

Ha'd the Huskers opened up at all,
r had Stewart played McMahon and
Kellogg, the score would have been
increased, at, least threefold.

i Even ' so. .this superiority of- the
Cornhuskers. was . manifest thrqugh-J

The Nebraska line outchargcd the
Hoosiers and the Husker secondary
Offense was greatly superior. -i
i The Cornhuskers scored their o'nly
touchdown, of the game in the 1 sec-
fd quarter. A fcng run by Cook
d the one trick play Stewart's men
ifticovered brought about the tally.
j Cook' gathered in one of Phalen's
punts in the center of the field. Dodg
ing the Hoosier ends as they swooed
toward him, a quick sprint carried
Cook to the south side of the grid

kins. They played as a. solid unit and
cooperation was the keynote. Every
nian on the team seemed to be in
etrerv olav doing hia part.
'.It is almost impossiDie io iamc t
kver who- overshadowed his mates,
,nt if anv can be chosen. Paul Dob-
s!n and Elmer. Schellenberg are the
men. ,
Scnelhe Saves f core. ,
fThis pair of sturdy young Huskers
are featured more for the defensive
play than their offensive. Nebraska
supporters can give a vote of thanks
ta Schellenberg, for this young man
p!eventa a touchdown. Had it not
ben for a great play by the Johnson
county la Nebraska would not ave
an uncrossed goal line.
, jlToward the latter part of the first
period Captiin Phalen caught one of
Dpbson'srlong punts on hist own 35
yi&d tine Tucking the pigskin under
hlj arm, he broke through the entire
Iltisker eleven and was racing down
tilt field with a clear goal ahead, of
him. But,' by a masterful ' sprint,
Schellitf caught up . with the 5 fleet
fqpted Phalen and dragged him down
oil Nebraska's 22-yard line. A touch
down seemed, almost " certain until
Sehellie suddenly appeared from no
wiere to hurl himself against Phalen
Hi a perfect flying tackle.
JSchellie and'Dobson played great
b& on the defense. Time and again
they leaped forward to down Notre
Djime runners before they had gained
mire than mere inches and it was
laSarelv due to their work that' the
Hosiers oniy made first downs once.
jSchellenberg and Dobson, too, did
some nice work' on--the offense and
marked up many of the gains, made
by the Cornhuskers. In the second
half, especially, Dobson ripped great
holes in. the Notre Dame line. ...His
pitting was a Big. aid to Nebraska
also. ' . .
Threaten Twice.
h !Notre Dame ) only; threatened Ne-
' biiska twice. Once was the stime
Pjialen brbk? away for his long run
arid was only stopped by Schellen
berg. The .other occurred near the
eiid of the third period.
' Nebraska had the ball in the middle
ofi;the field .when. Philbin intercepted
" orte of the, two forward passes Ne
"lrska attempted. ; He was downed
(Ori Notre Dame's 40-yard mark. This

.' as they failed to gain, but it did later.
Pttalen punted to Nebraska's 18-yard
; marie and NebrJska drew a 15-yard
penalty, placing the ball under the
shadow of its own goal posts. Dob-
soli's punt went out of bounds on the
uLi - -k rA ti:.
Hoosiers aoded-courage and they
Bailed the Husker line in fearless
fashion. A forward pass and a line
plunge made first downs and they had
thi ball on the Huskers' 15-yard line,
pat here Stewart's nlen held like a
stone wall. Three attempts to gam
failed. The Hoosiers fell back on the
forward pass, but Hugo Otoupalik
was on the job and he intercepted the
pass on Nebraska's own seven-yard
line. Uobson puntea our or .aanger
and the Hoosiers had lost their last
attempt to score. ' '
Hoosiers Win Toss.
Notre Dame won the toss and chose
to kick off. . Philbin kicked offUo
Copk, who was downed on Nebras
ka's 30-yard line. Schellenberg fum
bled on the first play and Notre Dame
recovered the ball on Nebraska's 33
yard line. The Hoosiers tested out
the Husker line, but they found it
too tough. Three times Hoosier
backs' were stoppeH in their tracks
and Gipp attempted a place kick. The
kick was true, but fell short. .
Nebraska too kthe ball "on the 20-
yard line and Dobson promptly punted
to the Hoosiers -yara mars., nere
Phalen and Dobson engagedjn a punt
ing duekwUh the Husker having the
advantage. After several DUnts. Ne
braska started to run back the ball and
Schellenberg reeled off a 15-yard run,
but a penalty stopped further attack
and Dobson punted. Another ex
change of kicks followed and it was
after a catch of one of these that
Phalen made his 45-yard run to Ne
braska's 22-yard line before he was
dragged to the earrii by Schellenberg.
The Hoosiers, however, could not
gain and Phalen fell back to attempt a
place kick. It went wide and rolled
out of bounds on ! Nebraska's 4-yard
line. Dobson punted out of danger.
Drop Kick Fails.
At the sfart of the second quarter
Gipp tried a drop kick from the cen
ter of the field, but the ball went high
in the air and Rhodes caught it on
Nebsaska's 42-yard line. Dobson and
Phalen exchanged punts and Nof.e
Dame was . pushed back a bit. Ne

Illinois Hauls 7 to 0
Game From the Badgers
Champaign, III., Oct 30. In a game
which was fought to a standstill
throughout Illinois won from v Wis
consin, 7 to 0. Lharpier scored Il
linois' only touchdown and was easily
the star of the )game. He went
through the Wisconsin line consist
ently for good gains.
South Dakota had a slight edge over
Coach Mills' blue and white squad
yesterday in one of the most hotly
fought contests ever witnessed on
Creighton field.. When the final whis
tle was sounded the score stood 6 to 0
for the Coyotes. ' .
The Creighton crew had been pre
paring all week for an expected vic
tory over the Vermilion squad, but
whert South Daokta's crew of lengthy
six-footers trotted out onto the field,
the blue and white hopes sank; to zero
and there they were forced to dwell-
One McKinnon was responsible for
the gloom in the Creighton camp. It
was he who swooped a Creighton for
ward pass from the shoestrings of a
blue-and-white man and made a sprint
of seventy-five yards for a touchdown.
This was the only score either side
was able to push over the line
throughout the game.
Captain Morgan and his men were
no slouches when it came to hard
playing and acquiring a few gains for
the white and blue. Mullholland and
Morgan starred for Creighton, with
the rest of the team fighting desper
ately to stem the onslaughts of the
heavy halvts of the opponents- An un
fortunate efature of the game from
the Creighton standpoint was the
rather frequent fumbling of the tall,
especially at critical moments.
Kelly Is Uncertain. ,
Kelly seemed to be uncertain in
handling punts, although he redeemed
himself by making one dashing return
of a kick by Lynch for thirty yards,
and repeated another for twenty
yards. The strength and size of the
South Dakota line smen enabled them
mbre than once to reach over and
grab Kelly, gefore he was able to pass
the ball and caused him to drop it a
number of times' Here again McKin
non was the principal source of dis
order. Lahey and Mullholland got away
fof good gains, Lahey's chief delight
being to plow furrows through the
line, leaving friend and foe scattered
indiscriminately in his wake, while
Mully shone on end runs and ripped
off any number of yards through the
center of the line when called upon.

Creighton received the ball on its
30-yard lins, whereupon Mullholland
promptly reeled off 23 yards around
right end and Moonan responded with
six more around the left flank. Lahey
was thrown for a loss, a forward pass
failed and McKinnon blocked Camp
bell's kick. On a series of line plunges
by Collins and Patrick, the Coyotes
worked the ball to the 25-yard line.

Little Bits of Gossip Pickpd Up
Here and There at the Big Co
Pick Up Your
By FRED S. HUNTER ( .
Someof the officiating was quite
mysterious. Penalties"; , were yheavy
and, as usual,' Nebraska 1. drew the
heavy end. Reasonfor the penalties
was not always plain.'.Also, the offi.
cials caused a lot of unnecessary de
lay in the game and were slow in
making decisions,. Three (or four
times they started tot o one thing,
changed their minds and did it all
over again. . - s ,
'Fans who saw the game were at
loss to. account for the blanket Stew
art put oyer McMahon. and Kellogg.
McMahon is supposed to be the
greatest star in the Cornhusker camn.
He was on the sidelines, took part
in the oractice. but AA nnt r.i
Kellogg, asf Saturday against Iowa!
proved himself a real baekfieM tn3
and he was not given a chance. Some'
patrons complained that they did not
gei.ineir moneys worth because they
didn't see Nebraska's real strength.
Johnny Cook did not play his usual
game. He only . made one: appreci
able gain, his long run, and he lacked
decision , in calling signaJs..vHis run,
however, paved the way ; to the
Husker touchdown so'why should we
.complain? .
Perhaps Stewart is saving Mc
Mahon for the game .with the Camp
Funston boys. Doc Loring is one
guy that is hopeful. He says he
hopes to totter down to Lincoln, for
three more years at least and at the
end of that time, may ' be lucky
enough to see McMahon "play. .
Then again, perhaps McMahon is
too good to play with the Huskers.
Scouts from Michigan, Missouri
and Kansas saw the game. They
didn't see anything, as the Huskers
did not uncover a play except the
triple pass, and that's the kind of a
trick play that can be used any time

pass and the Huskers ar nr-tn f...

Two hundred live stock men made

Gene Melady, well known Omaha
sportsman, was among- those present.
Gene is a Notre Dame man. "Per

muttered.
There was little beeting on the
game owing to the absence of Notre

attract Hoosier followers.
