DRAKE DEFEATED
BY.IIUSKER MEN
CROSS NEBRASKA'S GOAL LINE
TWICE, HOWEVER
HUSKERS WORK IS ERRATIC
Individual - Play Spectacular Line
Punctured by the Drake Offense
Mayor Bryan Boots Prophetic
Klck-Off Final Score, 48-13
Nebraska disposed of her first con
ference opponent by defeating the
v Drake Bulllogs, 48 to 13, on Nebraska
Field, Saturday afternoon. The Husk-
ers were at no time hard pressed and
proved that they were a team of possi
bility, although their play showed
early season raggedness. The blue
jerseyed huskies from Des Moines
satisfied their ambitions by twice
crossing Nebraska's goal.
The largest opening-game attend
ance in years saw the team start the
fall campaign. Mayor Bryan boosted
the ball for the official kick-off, which
was recorded to have bounced eight
times before it stopped prophetic of
eight victories and another all-victorious
year. " -
One of the frequent lapses evidenced
by the Husker line male possible
Drake's first touchdown, registered in
the second period. Buntz, a rangy
Iowa product, went straight through
the line for thirty yards, bringing the
ball within striking distance. Despite
the exhortations from the multitude,
the tralitional brace of the Husker
line in the shadow of their goal failed
to materialize, and with four tries to
push the ball across, Drake scored on
the third- attempt. The second Drake
touchdown came early in the fourth
quarter. Warnock received a long
pass from Thomas on the Husker
thirty yard line, but dropped it when
tackled by Caley. In the resultant
scramble Blackburne picked up the
ball and raced the remaining distance
for a touchdown.
Nebraska scored twenty points dur
ing the first half. The first counter
came after three minutes of play.
Drake fumbled the ball on her ten
yard line; Nebraska was penalized
five yards for off-side, and on the next
play Reese took the ball around left
end for a touchdown. The next tally
came in the second period when after
long gains by Rutherford and Reese,
Chamberlain lugged the ball on end
around across the last chalk-mark
After a few minutes more of play
Rutherford shot a long pass to Cham
berlain. who broke away for Ne
.racira'a third touchdown. The half
ended. 20 to 7.
In the second half, Nebraska's total
mounted to 48. Caley registered two
touchdowns and Rutherford ended the
scoring late in the final period by
worming his way through the Bull
dog's defense for a tally after the ball
had been worked down to Drake's fif
teen yard line.
Buntz, Welsh, Thomas and Beringer
were the troublemakers in the Drake
cast. The individual work of Cham
berlain and Riddell at thawing posi
tions, and of the whole first and sec
ond string 'of Husker backfield per
formers featured Nebraska's play.
Reese and Otoupalik did splendid
work at half during the first two per
iods, of play, but Gardiner and Doyle
who replaced them in the latter half

against the use of cards, exepet on
teh campus, or the bothersome" vote

ed that all card, hand-shaking, back
slapping electioneering is frowned
upon.
