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

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.

Stars of Gridiron Contest.
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. Jefferson'* hall 20
yard Jine. Tice fumbled on the first
play and Mann recovoreJ for Lin
coln on the 20-yard 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.
