The Washburn eleven opened with a brilliant exhibition of end runs and smashes couple with forward passes that had Schu'lte's men completely bewildered. The Ichabods backs marched down the field in rapid suc cession. Only ten yards separated the Washburn outfit from a touch down when the Husker forwards broke through and stopped them. From then on the Ichabods never threatened the Huskers seriously. A recovery of a Nebraska fumble near the goal line afforded another oppor tunity to score but they could not respond with the necessary punch. During the last three periods of the game the Topeka team advanced the ball only eight yards, playing for the most part a defensive game. Lugged Ball for Huskers. The chief ground gainers for the Cornhuskers were Hubka, Dale. Hart ley, Moore and Schoeppel. During the second and fhird periods these three Husker backfield artist pounded' the Ichabod line and circled the ends for substantial gains, resulting in the two touchdowns. The first counter came as a result of a drive down the gridiron from mid-field. On the two yard line, the Husker back who was to carry the ball missed the signal but Newman, clever Husker general, darted around the Washburn left end and planted the pigskin behind the goal. The second touchdown came as a result of Swanson's recovery of a fumbled punt by Stevens, Washburn quarterback. Dale and Moore pro ceeded to break through the Wash burn line, Moore going over for the touchdown. Captain Day kicked both goals. Two tries for field goals by Dana, Husker end, both failed. The second was very close, however, strik ing the goal past and bounding back on the field. Used Many Substitutes.
