Stiehm's Cornhusker pupils succeeded in winning from Brewer's Tigers this afternoon by a close margin, and only af ter the hardest kind of a battle. The Missouri team put up a stubborn and formidable front to the attacks of the Nebraska machine, and succeeded in repulsing most of Nebraska's efforts to score. Warren Howard played a stellar game for Nebraska. Although his stunts were not up to the usual standard, he did notable work .in running down punts, and spelling interference. Max Towle, Cap tain Frnnk nnd Purdy all did good work. The low score is accounted, for by the fact that the Nebraska line could not open holes for the backfield, and the terrific fight that the Missouri team put up. Nebraska was penalized twice when the ball was within striking distance of the Missouri goal. In the kicking Missouri got a little the best of Howard and their kicks were long when Nebraska was near their goal, Missouri's offense was weak. Although they played hard they did not have the scor ing machine. Nebraska's interference on end runs and fake kicks was wonderful, the fake kick was the best ground gainer with How ard or Potter carrying the ball. Sliehm says the team earned the cue touchdown and Missouri played a great game. Missouri won the toss. Nebraska kicked off to Missouri at 2:35 Allen kicking the' ball on a short kick. The field was slippery but not muddy, both teams were off side for the first three or four downs. line plunges by MoWillians and Noble of Missouri put the ball in the middle of Nebraska territory and by end runs to Nebraska's 5-yard line. Harmon went in for Freitag at guard and Nebraska held. Mis souri tried a forward pass over the line by Big. Purdy got the ball. Missouri tried a drop kick but the ball went wild. End runs by Frank and Potter put the ball near the middle of the field. Nebraska's shift plays failed to gain very much. Second quarter: Nebraska worked the shift plays through the line for good gains but the forward pass did not work. By end runs end plunges Nebraska put the ball on Missouri's 5-yard line but could not put it over. The ball ended in the middle of the field. Hal ligan's forward pass worked twice for 30 yards and Purdy gained through line. Nebraska penalized 15 yards, putting the bad I in Mis souri territory. Second Half: Missouri kicked off and Hailligam returned the ball 15 yards. At the first of the half Missouri held both line j lunges and end runs, throwing Nebraiska for losses at times.
