Aftor Bcorlng, almost without offort,
In tho first four minutes of play, two .'
drop kicks by Fullback Burgo of Anion
held Nebraska to a tio score on tho
Iowa Aggie campus last Saturday.
It was a gamo full of most amazing
plays and mlsplays, in which- tho
former ifo and dash of tho Corn,
husker backs and forwards was en
tirely lacking.
Were Stale.
To thoao who havo soon tho previ
ous exhibitions of tho team this sea
son, it seemed Imposslblo that 'lie
samo team was playing. Fumbles of
punts and passes and forward passes,
together with tho failure of tho Corn
buskers to follow tho ball as hereto
fore, gavo Ames tho ball several
times within dangorous territory, and
twlco Burgoput tho pigskin squarely
botween tho poBts, from tho twonty-
"three and thirty-seven yard linos, re
spectively. Only onco thereafter wero
tho Aggies able to work tho ball into
our half of the field sufficiently closo .
to attempt a goal and that try fell
far short? --- .
8core Easily.
Nebraska's touchdown was made in
the, first four minutes of play, aftor
Chauner recovored an onsido kick.
Ernlo Frank carried tho ball, over oh
a fako pass from Jerry Warner and
Owen kicked goal. Both Burgo's
kicks wero from placement and both
came in tho first quarter.
Ames was unable to gain consltont
ly and seemed weak on offense, al
though Harto and Hurst occasionally
slipped through two or three tacklers
for good distances. Nebraska was
weak on tho offense, tho backs failing
to show anything llko the' class dis
played heretofore.
Purdy a 8 tar.
Purdy alone was playing his game, '
and was the real star.. Ho fought llko
aflond'ancl Bayb for ono or two ex-'
coptlons, was good for first down
every time ho carried tho ball.
Chauner and Lofgron, especially tho
latter, played wonderful ' defensive
games. Shonka was a terror both on
offonse and defense, and was easily
tho best man on tho field, until ho
was ruled off after protest by tho
head-linesman for unnecessary rough
ness. Hurst Ames' Best.
(Quarterback Hurst was Ames' star,
his ability to return punts, and his
quickness' tcrselzo the- two opportune
ties to score, entitled him to tho
honors. The Amos team played hard,
clean' football alt the tlmo, In fact,
put up a wonderful game, considering
the great odds with which they wero
contending..
