who was injured a week ago was
on crutches with a fractured leg
which will keep him on the side
lines for the remainder of the sea

yesterday afternoon. Forward
passes and running thru plays
comprised the workout. The Husk
ers also viewed the pictures of the
game last Saturday, finishing up
with a chalk talk. Major Jones in
dicated that there might be a
change in the starting line-up
by next Saturday and said there
would be considerable juggling of
men during the entire week.
Last half thriller.
After a rather uneventful first
half, the last
half of the In
diana - Husker
game was a
thriller. Indiana

With third end five to go for a
touchdown. Bus Knight came in at
quarterback, and on the next play
Rohrig took the ball, started
around right end, then handed the
ball to Luther who skirted left
end for the score. Rohrig's fake
drew the entire Hoosier line to
the right. Hermie coolly booted
the tying point.
Indiana flashed a gTeat deal of
power in the line, both defensively
Hnd offensively. Uremovich. Lo
gan and White, along with Ru
cinski and Harris were breaking
thru to smear the Husker ball car
riers. "Co" McMillan uncorked a
great passing game with Hursh
in the main role. His bullet passes
were hitting the maik consistently.
After a glimpse at the Hoosier,
it is exported that they will be a
strong contender in the Big Ten
race.
Running, attack hat trouble.
The Husker running attack was
having trouble getting under way.
Rohrig broke away for 12 yards
in the first half for the longest
run by the Huskers. Altho the
Huskers were outplayed, accord
ing to statistics, they showed plen
ty of possibilities. Their passing
attack clicked well in Uie second
half. Defense seemed to be their

main trouble. It is expected that
this will be stressed In this week's
workouts. Passing seemed to both
er the Huskers more than the run
ning attack. A few running plays
went for nice gains but most of
them were throttled. If the Husk
ers could have covered up on en
emy passes it might have been an
other story. Protection for their
own passer seemed to be weak.
Three men were chasing Rohrig
on most of the passes, but Hermle
managed to outmaneuver the
charging linemen most of the
time.
Luther and Petsch in pass catch
ing roles turned in nice perform
ances. Butch also was a standout
on defense, batting down several
enemy passes. Both he and Rohrig
were moving up to make plenty of
tackles. R. Prochaska, Alfson,
Behm and Sam Schwa rtzkopf
were standouts on defense for the
Husker line.
HIS IT
by June Bierbower
The Indiana game has come and
gone, and with all the scooped up
passes, and questionable touch
backs, it was a tie. It's all nvor
now, however, and there's a little
affair with Minnesota coming un
Saturday.
It's interesting to note observ
ers' opinions on the Huskers.
They're all in agreement that the
pass defense, especially down the
middle, was very weak, and that
much work will have to be done
before the team runs up against
Hal Van Every.
C. E. McBride of the Kansas
City Star, to speak frankly, didn't
think much of the Huskers' me
chanical ability, altho he had lots
of praise for the spirit they show
ed in tying the old ball game at
the last moment.
Concerning Kansas, whom he
saw play Drake, and Nebraska
whom he saw against Indiana the
KC writer says:
"If KU is to win a game of
football in its own social set
this season it will have to be
against Iowa State at Lawrence
next Saturday, and if Nebraska
IS to make its CUStnmarw
liant bid for the Big Six cham
pionship after a season on the
ding Maj. "Biffer" Jones and
his staff face a lot of lesson giv
ing." "
After telling about how the
Huskers did charge to a touch
down in the last minute and a half
he adds:
"Even so the best vou rn..iA
say about the Nebraskans was
that they were a team that
wouldn't be beaten. That is high
praise, of course, and no doubt
the Nebraska coaches tonight
are rejoicing in figuring it will
be Just a matter of time to sand
paper the edges of a team that
doesn't know what it is to run
up the white flag."
There's one thing about the
Huskers' coming thru as they did.
Chances would have been about 50
to 1 that if the boys had been in
the same spot near the Hoosier
goal last year they'd have dubU-d
the task ahead of them. The fact
that they did t-orne thru in great
Kiyie, wnn terrific pressure on
them, shows that they have the
spirit it takes, as McBride Bays.
In fact, when it comes to keeping
the team's morale up, that tie Sat
iirdnv achieved In th wav It u-n
pronaoiy uia mem as mucn good
as a victory would have.
The fact remains, however,
that even tho Indians had a
whale of a team, Nebraska will
need lots of work before they
play Minnesota. That 62 to 0
score against Arizona Is alarm
ingly like the 69 to 7 tally the
Gophers piled up against North
Dakota State two years ago be
fore they lost to Nebraska. How
ever, lightning probably wouldn't
strike in the same spot so soon,
and It's doubtful that the Min
nesotans will get caught napping
again.
