FUMBLING MASKS FLAY
By FRED S. HUNTER.
Lincoln, Nov. 4. (Special.) Dis
playing a splendid defensive game
that thwarted every hostile attempt
to score, but woefully lacking on the
offensive, Doc Stewart's Cornhuskers
won a 3-to-0 victory over the Ames
Aggies by the skins of their teeth
here today, and cinched their seventh
successive Missouri Valley champion
While it was a victory for Nebraska-
and it won the conference
title, the clash was annoyingly dis
appointing to the greater part ot tne
7.000 spectators who were in at
tendance. Nebraska went into the
fray a heavy odds-on favorite. Popu
lar bets were that the Huskers would
win by fourteen or fifteen points. And
the Ames boys who coppered these
wagers went home heavy winners.
Huskers Lucky to Win.
The Cornhuskers outplayed their
opponents, as the figures will tell,
but it was a general verdict that
Stewart's men were pretty lucky to
win. In the third quarter a fumble
by Aldrich gave Captain Corey an
opportunity to attempt a goal from
field and Captain Tim was equal td
the occasion. Nebraska had at least
two chances to score touchdowns,
but threw them away.
Both the Huskers and Aggies gave
remarkable demonstrations of de
fensive foot ball, but fell down with
a sickening thud on the offensive.
The Cornhusker line new nice
stone wall. The Ames charges
crumpled before it like tender wheat
before a tornado. Once in a while
Slosa scamoered off a tackle or
around an end for a fair gain, and
occasionally Aldrich and Johnson
negotiated a few yards, but these
gains were made inconsistently and
could not De niaae to count.
Corey Saves Day.
Corey's goal kick occurred imme
diately after the opening of the third
quarter. Corey kicked of fto Sloss
on Ames' twenty-eight-yard line. Al
drich fumbled and Nebraska recovered
the ball on Ames' twenty-nine-yard
line. Johnny Cook skirted the Aggie
right end for eighteen yards, but his
mates could take it no further, so he
signaled for Corey to attempt a place
kick from the eighteen-yard line. Cook
held the ball true and Captain Tim
booted it directly between the up
rights and thus manufactured the only
three points counted by Stewart's
men. '
Sloss and Dobson staged a punting
duel during the remainder of the
quarter, with the" ball in Nebraska
territory most of the time.
The final period was slowly played,
with neither team showing anything,
and Dobson and Sloss kept up their
punting duel when their team-mates
failed to gather in any ground.
Omaha Well Represented.
A big gathering of Omaha foot ball
fans went down for the game. The
South Side stock yards bunch paid
their annual visit to Nebraska -field,
about 200 going down in a special
train and taking George Green's band
along to provide a little competition
for the university bands of Nebraska
and Ames. Mary Megeath, queen of
Ak-Sar-Ben i.nd her ladies in wait
ing, were guests of'Erevitt Bucking
ham on the special.
The regular morning trains to Lin
coln were leaded with Omaha fans
and on the 9:15 train a score or so
had to stand up the entire trip. The
special train at noop carried about 350
on it, which made the Omaha repre
sentation a pretty sizeable one.
Ames Kicks Off, -
Ames chose to kick off to Nebraska
at the start of the game. Doyle took
the kick and carried the ball to Ne
braska's forty-two-yard line. The
Huskers failed to gain on the first
play and to make it good were slipped
a fifteen-yard penalty because an
over-anxious lineman held. Dobson
fell back and punted to Ames' thirty-five-yard
line. The Aggies could not
gain and Sloss punted. Neither could
the Huskers gain and Dobson punted
right back. Caley reeled off a nine
yard run, but the Huskers stopped a
moment later when Doyle fumbled
'and an Aggie pounced on the pigskin.
The Aggies managed to make two
inches in three dpwns and Sloss was
called upon to kick again.
Four Hen in One Position.
On the next scrimmage Shoemaker
was laid up and removed from the
,game in favor of Schalk. Just a few
'moments before Shoemaker had taken
Erskine's place when the latter was
injured. A little later in the game
Evans went in for Schalk when he
was hurt. Thus four men -played in
this position in the game, three of
them being removed on account of
injuries.
Nebraska drew another, fifteen-yard
penalty and Dobson kicked. The
Aggies started a spurt here and the
spectators began to worry a little. A
forward pass trom aloss to jonnson
netted fifteen yards, after which
Johnson reeled off five yards and
Sloss four more. But on the next
play Johnson fumbled and the Husk
ers were saved.
' The Aggies had a distinct advantage
in the first quarter, keeping the ball
in Husker territory most of the time.
Hawkers Lose Heart.
The second quarter opened with
the ball in Ames' possession on Ne
braska thirty-eight-yard line. A
few seconds after the start of this
period the Kositsky play was pulled
off. Sloss fumbled and the Cornhusk-

goal from the forty-two yard line by

Commerce High
Loses to Souths
By Single Kick
' The High School of Commerce lost
to the South High school, 7 to 6, in a
game witnessed by a large crowd yes
terday. The two' teams were pretty
evenly matched, putting up a fighting
contest. The boys from the packing
house district found the Leavenworth
Street school's line like a stone wall
and rarely made their downs.
The Souths made their touchdown
in the second quarter when a punt
by Carlisle was blocked, Graham re
covered the ball and ran with an open
field before him across the line. Gra
ham kicked goal.
The Commerce score was well
earned. The team- fought its way
down, the field by end runs and line
plunges, Carlisle, going over for a
touchdown. Their fate came when E.
Rokusek failed to kick goal.
Dworak, halfback for South, was
put out of the game in the first half
by the referee for unnnecessary
roughing. -
Captain Reeves was the star of the
game by the way he fought through
out the game,, breaking through his
opponent's line- on the defense and
breaking up their plays. His mates,
Conhiser, Dewey and Carlisle, did
most of the effective work on the of
fense, while Rugie was the main fac
tor of the South Siders.
