By FRED 8. HUNTER. Lincoln. Nov. 10.—An amazing ex hibition of football that held 22,000 spectators in breathless suspense, brought victory to the warriors of Nebraska in its annual conflict with Notre Dame at the new Nebraska stadium here today. The score was 14 to 7. Defeated by Illinois and tied by Kansas and Missouri, the Cornhusker eleven was believed to be clearly out classed by the formidable warriors of Knute Rockne, but no sooner had the game begun than the well-known dope went astray and It was Nebraska’s game from whistle to whistle. With victories over the army and Prince ton to reveal as examples of their prowess, the Indiana warriors were considered to be the class of the coun try. But they proved quite something else again when they encountered the fighting spirit of the Cornhuskers. Coach Dawson’s proteges played footmall that was almost invincible. They were not at all dismayed by the imposing record of the alien intrud ers, and they played as though they had no more respect for Knute Rockne, so-called master of football and his heedless, brutal band of athletes than they would for a high -‘chool team. All Star. It would be an Impossible task to single out the particular members of the Nebraska team that starred. Every member of the squad rose to great achievements, and therein It Is disclosed the real reason for the Ne braska victory. The team played to gether. There were no bright stars, ft was a well-oiled, well-balanced, per fectly-running machine that the 22, ooo or so spectators saw In action today. And in the long runs tt Is the football team that wins games, not the star. Dawson had no Don Millers, no dtrehldrehers, no Crowleys, but he ■ lid have Herb De Witz and Dave Noble and Vern Lewellen and a dozen more. AVe have heard It whispered that the Cornhuskers line Is green and In perlenc’ed, and a trifle weak. What 4, myth that proved to be today! That line may have been not so good In the Illinois game, or perhaps the Kansas and Missouri games, but It was ‘ace-high today, and smothered play after play for the Notre Dame warriors. Dave Noble, who came to Nebraska from Omaha Central High, scored both touchdowns for the Huskers. He crossed the Hoosier goal-line In the second quarter with a 23-yard run around Notre Dame’s left end. De Witz Kicks Goals. He scored the second touchdown In the third quarter with the assistance of Herb De Witz. De Witz tossed a beautifully directed forward pass right In to Noble’s arips. The Omaha lad gathered It in his arms and scamp ered to the goal line. Herb De Witz .kicked both goals after touchdown. The solitary Notre Dame touch down waa scored In the final period, after Rockne had sent straggling Into the game a score of substitutes in an. effort to stem the Nebraska tide. Forward passes netted the tally. After Nebraska had lost the ball in Notre Dame territory, the Hoosiers resorted to reckless football, with long forward passes. Two long passes at more than 26 yards each were com pleted and took 'the ball to Nebras ka's 20-yard line. From that point of vantage a pass from Stuhledrehcr to Cerney brought the touchdown. Struhledreher kicked the goal. But that touchdown was merely balm for the troubled Spirits of the Invading Hoosiers. It did not come until only a few more moments of play were left and nothing leas than a miracle could have enabled them to even tie the count, let alone win. And no miracles were happening at Nebraska field today, unless perhaps disgruntled followers of the fortunes of the* South Bend Institution will qialm that It has to be a miracle any time Nebraska wins over Notre Dame. Nebraska Line Like Rods. A study of the statistics will give an Indication of the margin by which Nebraska outplayed Notre Dame. The ball was In Notre Dame territory the greater part of the tlfne and an early in the combat as the second quarter the Hoosler leaders came to a full realization that, barring accidents, theirs was a beaten team. Unable to penetrate the Nebraska line, and almost aa helpless In their attempts to skirt the ends, the Hooslers turned to forwsrd passing. And It was the most reckless, heed less forward passing seen on the Ne braeka gridiron In recent yesra. The Hooslers were playing long shots, taking chances, trying anything and everything. But Nebraska was prepared for that, and was equal to Any and all emergencies. The number of Inter cepted and Incompleted forward passes testifies to that. Klght now let a word he said for Herbie De Wit*. Not long ago some harsh words were uttered as regards this young man. I<et them be re tracted with profuse apologies Her bie Isn’t such a husky youth, hut Knuts Rockns would have swapped half a do*en candidates for the All American for him today, Herbie was ‘•king'this game in earnest. He hud Here Is Why the Fans Sat Spellbound at the Nebraska-Notre Dame Game , Photos by Lathrop. These pictures show a few of flip more tense mom ents of the grid contest at Lincoln yesterday. The picture, on the upper right shows Noble down behind the goal line for the first score. On the left Is Noble getting away to a run around right end. In the lower right hand plot ure Nebraska attempts a Held goal from the 30 yard-line. On the left in that row Is proof that Notre Marne could get away once In awhile. Miller is shown starting on a good run around end. » The insert shows how the game effected Knute Rockne. He sat like a general on the sidelines unable to stem the attack of the Cornhuskers. his heart in it. And what a wild cat he was! In the fourth period, he became so wrapped up in the game that he picked out the blestest, lank iest and perhaps the toughest man on the Notre Dame team, McMullen. Few in the stadium saw it, but the um pire did, and the rule book specific ally forbids that any private quarrels be indulged in during the course of a game. For the future welfare of Mr. McMullen, he stepped between the two gladiators and then advised the referee to put 'em both out of the game. Hutchison Stands Out. In the line one might, perhaps, single out I^utahlson, the center, as! the outstanding performer. It really would be unfair to the other sturdy lads along the line to say that Hutch ison was the star, but this much can be said: Notre Dame didn't gain an Inch all day through the middle of the line. Hutchison even went out side his duties at one _ time and thrusting himself forward. Intercept ed a Notre Dame forward pass. Which is pretty neat work for a center. Captain Bewellen's remark able toe work was another big factor In the Husker victory. He outkicked Dayden at every stage of the game. He got off one punt for 70 yards, and several that traveled more than 50. In the first quarter Nebraska gained 35 yards In an exchange of several punts by Dewellen and Day den and who knows how much of a psychological effect this had on the Hoosler team in the ultimate out come. Knute Kockne will go back to South Bend a sadder but wiser man. Touted to win by anywhere from 20 to 40 points, his team was thor oughly humbled, outplayed and out classed. Only twice did the Hoosler rea41y threaten. Once they scored. The other time they were held on the seven-yard line. Nebraska’s start this year was slow and unsatisfactory, but it's a great football Conch Dawson sent on the field today. Lineups: Nebraska. I'ositlon. Notre I hum*. Rhode* .. ...L.W. Collin* Weir .I..

The big question in the Bluffs wus settled yesterday afternoon at Thomas Jefferson athletic field, when Abra ham Lincoln defeated Thomas Jeffer son, 7 to A, The largest crowd in the history of Bluffs football witnessed tho big bat tle. It was estimated that 6,000 fans were in attendance. Two bands representing tho two schools played throughout the game, entertaining the largo assemblage between halves. (Sally decorated rooters of both teams filled the stands and kept up a riot of cheering; the Jefferson sup porters even with defeat staring them in the face refused to lose their pep. Thomas Jefferson was the first on tho field, making their appearance at 2:35 and going through a snappy drill in signals, passing and kicking. Lincoln high did not appear until five minutes before game time and contented themselves with a short limbering tip practice. Both teams were greeted with thunderous cheers. Thomas Jefferson kicked off to Pierce who returned five yards to the 20 yard line. Lincoln immediately opened up a line attack that carried them to Jefferson's 30-yard line. They lost the ball when Miller's pass tp Hheppard failed. A bad pass from Rewert to Tice lost 20 yards on the first play. Tice punted out of bounds on the 40 yard line. Jefferson braced and held the hard hitting Lincoln barks, gaining possession of the hall when Sleeve Intercepted Miller's pass on his own 30 yard line. Jefferson let loose an end and tackle attack, that was featured by the perfect in terference of the Gold team. The Gold mnrched down the field to Lin coin's 20-yard line where Sheppard intercepted a pass. Hheppard was nailed from behind by Gordon. The quarter ended with the ball In mid field. The second quarter wus a continu ation of the first, with Jefferson re sorting to straight football and pounding the loft side of the Lincoln line for good gains. Lincoln kept up their line plunging game until Tierce, star fullback, was removed from the game due to an eye Injury. With Pierce out Lincoln resorted to an aerial game and while success ful In a few tosses was unable to work the ball into a scoring posi tion. The first half play was featur ed by the plunging of Pierce for Lin coln. Lincoln kicked olT to start the seo ond half to Gordon who returned the hall to the 30-yard line. Jefferson failed to gain and punted to Miller on his own 40-yard line. Miller made a brilliant return of 30 yards. Lincoln failed to gain and Walsh punted over the goal line.

Two plunea by Pierce, who had returned to tho game nt the start of the second half, and Miller placed tho ball on the nine-yard lino. Jefferson with their tracks to the wall braced and held the hard hitting Pierce for a gnln of four yards in three trye, A double pass behind the line, Tierce to Mil ler, ending In a pass, Miller to Shep pard, coinpjetcly fooled the Jefferson defense and netted a touchdown. Walsh kicked goal. The reat of the period was fought out in midfield. The last quarter waa featured by Jefferaon'a pass attack in an endeavor to score, but the brilliant defense of the Crimson and Hluo prevented them from ever becoming dangerous. To wards the end of the g*nie the Lin coln squad wore down the defense of the Jefferson team and forced the play deep Into Jefferson's territory. To Pierce, star fullback of Lincoln, must go the lion's share of praise. Pierce also starred on tho defense. Walsh nnd Miller also starred for the Crimson, nnd Hlue, while R. Mann s work on the defense stood ou^ prom inently. For Jefferson, Tice. * Lloyd, Sleeve nnd Rawerts stood out. Sons of Former Athletes Plav on Luther Grid Team I freer all, In., Mov.
