That was the story of the Cornhusker'a at tempt to ruin Missouri's homecom ing and pick up their second win of the campaign.

Fullback Hank Kuhlmann lugged the leather to the six and Snowden brought the crowd to its 'feet as he skipped through a host of Nebras ka tacklers to score the equalizer. Charlie Rash extended his string of consecutive PAT's to 13 as he booted the extra point to jive Missouri the 14-13 victory. The Tiger victory ended a three fame Nebraska win streak and was Missouri's 20th triumph in 51 meetings. There have been three ties. The game started out looking like a long afternoon for the Corn buskers. Nebraska took the opening kick off and couldn't move on the first series of plays. Stinnett punted and the Tigers took over on the NU 45 and marched downfield for the first score. Rash added the extra point and Missouri led 7-0 with 8:22 till remaining in the first quarter. The Huskers looked as if they had something going following the kickoff. They gained 33 yards in six plays, but Stinnett's first pass of the afternoon was intercepted and the march was halted. Missouri banged its way to the Nebraska four yard line in the second quarter only to have H u s ker - end- Mike Lee brsak through and drop Snowden for a five yard loss necessitating a field goal attempt. Rash's three point try was way off. Nebraska came roaring back to pick up one of its biggest breaks of the afternoon. Jerry Brown's quick kick bounced off Tiger Dave Mason's leg on the Missouri 23 and Husker end Roger pounced on It to put Nebraska within striking distance. " The Huskers smashed down to the MU 11 and on the third down 10 yards to go for a first down, Doug Thomas ripped over the right aide and barrelled down to the two where he fumbled and the Tigers took over. Nebraska struck lightning fast r Staff Pictures i By Plane ":::A M Cramer! ?! .. 'INU-Thomas f . .... Almost but not quite in the third quarter, scoring twice within 1:04. Jerry Brown and Thomas led the Huskers to their first score. The Big Red grinded out 38 yards in 13 plays with Thomas plunging over from the two to climax the drive. Dick Prusia had two chances to tie the game, but failed on both occasions. - Nebraska received another gold en opportunity just seconds later when Missouri halfback Charlie James fumbled the kickoff and Le Roy Zentic pounced on it on the Tiger 22. Thomas ran 16 yards down to the Missouri six on the first play and Larry Naviaux, after picking up one yard, grabbed a pitch out from Stinnett and sprinted the re maining five yards to put Nebras ka out front. George Cifra added the point to make the score 13-7. The game itself was a sloppily played affair with rumbles the main theme. Missouri fumbled the ball away, four times while the Huskers lost possession three times. Nebraska will 'host the Kansas Jayhawks next Saturday in the an nual Homecoming contest. The Jayhawkers were trounced by Mi ami of Florida 48-7 in an inter sectional contest Friday night. Football Scoreboard Big Eight Kan.
