DOANE EASY FOR NEBRASKA Cornhniker Play ShOWl Improvement Over Peru Game. I STILL INCLINED TO BE SLOW gabatltate for Nebraska In Second Half Do Better In Some llesaeets Than the Iteanlara In tho First. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 3.-(Speclal Tele gram.) Nebraska found Doane to bo easy this afternoon, and won the second game of tho season by a score of 43 to 0. Tho Cornhuskers played a strong game on the defense, but their offensive .play was ranged. It was only at the opening of the game and at Infrequent Intervals during the contest that they displayed flashes of brilliant foot ball. Several fumbles and poor head-work kept down the score on the Nebraska side. The Doane line was no problem for the Cornhuskers and they made gains at their will, sut the Nebraska players chose to use the open game and resorted constantly to end runs and forward passes. The pass waa worked several times In the second half for long gains, and Nebraska lost ground on It only twice during the game. The Doane ends could not stop the plays directed at their wings, and the Cornhuck ers made good gains repeatedly around them. The visitors put up a better defen sive game than had been looked for. end during the second half were able to get through the Nebraska line, which was com posed of several substitutes, and break up the Cornhuskers play. They, however, found the Nebraska line a stone wall when they ware playing on the offense, and did not once make their distance through It. Nebraska's main weakness was in the fre quent fumbling and the failure to see open ings where the players could have ad vanced with the ball for long gains. The same slowness In getting off-plays that was noticeable In the Peru game again characterized the play of the Cornhuskers, although it was not as marked as a week ago.
