The score of 23 to 17 fairly represents the relative strength of tho two teams. Nebraska outplayed AmeB, and deserved to win but not by a very large margin. The Aggies never led in the scor ing but managed in the second half BIRKNER, Nebraska, Right Half. to tie the gome, making it 17 to 17. There wore ton mlnuteB to play after the score was evened up, aud it was during the last two minutes of this time that the Cornhuskers, through UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, TUESDAY, r... N V tne brilliant work of Quarterback Cooke, pulled out a victory. Cooke's Long Run. Nebraska had the ball on tho Aggie 40-yard lino with' two minutoB Vet to play. Cooke, who a short time before had relieved Bentley at quarter, es sayed to try a run around the left wing of the Ames team. It was a fake quarterback run and Left End Reppert and tho halfbacks of the Aggies were drawn in. Cooke, carry the ball tightly under his arm, sud denly shot out from behind the Ne braska line with Captain Harvey, Birk ner and Harte forming good Interfer ence, and sped toward the Ames goal line, dodging by Aggie after Aggie and placing tho ball on the three-yard lino before he wbb downed.

Captain Har vey kicked an oasy goal, making tho B.coro 23 to 17 in favor of tho Corn huskers. Superior In Attack. Nebraska's superior attack and lino work brought down defeat on the Ag gies. Tho forward pass also helped the Cornhuskers to win tho contest In using this play tho Cornhuskers made 160 yards to 27 for theij op ponents. It was Nebraska's line, how ever, that repelled the attack of th) Aggies and forced them to resort en tirely to end runs. It also was tho men in tholino who often broke through the Ames defense and broke up plays or who, after tho Nqbraska end had been boxed., brought down the men carrying tho ball with a pretty tackle. On the offense the Cornhuskers wore able to make good gains through the Ames line .at times. Hero Right Tackle Frum did brilliant work. Chaloupka frequently was given the ball to carry on a play through left tacklo and al ways made good gains. He was aided FROM AMES 23 TO 17 greatly on these playB by Frum, who always had an -opening waiting for his big teammate. Chaloupka plunged through these holes made by Frum 8TURTZENEGGER, Nebraska, Right Guard. and it took five or six of the Agglea to check his a'dvance. " Chaloupka Gets Touchdown. Nebraska's third touchdown was made from the 10-yard line on this ,play off tackle. Nebraska, on a f,or vrnrdpass Irom Bentley to Johnson, had taken the ball to--the Ames six teen yard Jine. Birkner made 'three yards and the, ball "was, on tho 10-yard line, Bentley, on the next play, called for Chaloupka to carry the ball.

Chaloupka'B showing In this giimo wnB the best of tho season and should give him a plnce on tho All-Western eleven. His work this season has been watched closely and it is bolioved that he will be tho unanimous choice for o position on the all-Btar team. Nebraska's backfield also did some fine work. Beltzer was a star, punt ing good distances and throwing tho ball on the forward pasB with accur acy. Blvkner made gains against tho Aggie lino and played a strong, aggrea ivo game. Temple and Kroger at full back were speedy and hit tho lino hard. Temple showed up woll on the defense. Miner, while not shining as brilliantly as in the Iowa game, played consistent ball. Sturtzneggor, although only in tho game a few minutes, work ed well on the offenBo. ColllnB Is a Star. In the lino Collins, at center, played the best, game of his football career. Ho had his opponent, Rutledge, out played, and swept hjm out of the way at times. Collins played hard all dur ing the contest and stopped several Aggie plays. Once he made a remark, able tacklo of "Si" Lambert, when tho fullback was going rapidly toward the Cornhusker goal. 'Harte played through the game with a weak ankle, which threatened all morning' to keep him on the side lines. On his way to the train at Lin coln he again turned his ankle, which had been previously hurt In practice and had to be helped off the train. Doctors worked with his foot until time for the game, and sent him on the field with It bandaged. Tho husky and gritty guart went into the game with this handicap and played great ball. He managed to break down the offense of the Aggies many times and was consplcuqus in block ing plays and tackling runners. Ewing Jn Good Play. Left Guard' Ewing was a stonewall to the attacks of AkkIob made on tho I Nebraska line. At the beginning of Price 5 Cent tho game Amos trlod a fow plunges rt tho loft side of tho Nebraska line and, finding it imprognablo, did not try to break through again. Captain Harvey and Johnson at tho end positions woro forced to play tho hardoBt gamo of tho season. The large numbor of end runs attompted by the Aggies made their task an ex ceedingly difficult ono. They stoppod the runs as well as any ends could have done. They, on Bovoral occasions, managod to break through the de fense of the Aggies au.1 break up plays before they wore well started. TEMPLE, Nebraska, Fullback. A tew times,, however, the Nobrasl ends were boxed and other player had to bring down the runner, whe was circling a wing. (Continued on Page 4) I
