Wenzel of the water survey department of the federal survey ha been in this state since spring locating wells from whieh the wster table levels ax JLO be recorded. goal lines had remained uncrossed. Now the ball rested on the 1 yard line, first down, goal to go. The irowd of 15,000 rose expectantly. Big Sam poised, the ball was snapped, the Scarlet rampart surged forward. Into the grinding melee of humanity, head up, knees driving viciously, went Francis. The Oklahoma wall sagged, bent, was broken, as 190 pounds of dy namic ability hurled into its midst. The referee's whistle shrilled, both hands were raised, and a great "6' appeared opposite "Nebraska" on the scoreboard. Six Points Unthreatened. It matters not that Sam failed to convert on a line buck, those six points remained unthreatened, and the final gun banged with Ne braska a six point victor over Oklahoma, and with the first bar rier to a successful defense of the title well cleared. The game ended as dramatically as previous events had led to an ticipate. It was packed full of drama, thrills, excitement for the ;ash customers who viewed the renewal of an ancient interstate classic. It also afforded Nebraska fans, ever loyal to the cause of the Scarlet and Cream, a wonderful opportunity to rise up wiui uie time honored "I told you so," and the whole state of Nebraska re sounded to the call. For Oklahomans far and wide had looked forward to the down fall of the mighty, overpowering Huskers at the hands of their vet eran combination. The challenge had been flung, and news from the Redlands had been to the effect that the Sooners had come into their own as a Big Six contender, and that the Red and White would wave over the conference in pref erence to the Scarlet and Cream. Huskers Doped to Win. The pre-game dopesters had picked Nebraska, by a small mar gin, with the added inflection that Oklahoma might pull a surprise. And the Sooners started right out as if it was their afternoon to pull surprise. Running the Nebraska ends, skirting inside tackle, passing where needed, the Red and Whit shoved the Huskers all over the field during the first half, and left the field for the showers with the ball on the one line, and having compiled 7 first downs to 0 for Nebraska. Things looked dark for the Scarlet gridders, what with Steinbock returning punts for long yardage, and "Nig" Robertson and Ben Poynor cracking through tho line for precious yardage. Husker Attack Held Off. The Husker attack didn't have any chance to begin anything on their own hook.
