Nebraska's flint test with a Missouri
Valley conference team today proved a
Tartar for Stiehm's proteges, though the
Cornhuskers defeated the Aggies, 24 to 6.
It was, a real fighting machine that Coach
Lowman brought from Manhattan and th
Huskers were compelled to defend them
selves valiantly. Nebraska's line, which
performed bo brilliantly last Saturda ,
seemed to be off edge, and in the early
stages of the game proyed easy for the
Khws.
Taken by surprise in the-first quarter,
the Cornhuskers were on even terms with
the Aggies. Each team, carried the ball
about tho same distance, Nebraska carry
ing Jt within Btriklng distance for the'
Cornhuskers only to be held. Then the
Agsfles commenced a stright march to. the
Cornfusker goal, which ended with the
ball, on the Nebraska, one-yard line and
with time called for tho first quarter.
