AMBS, la-, Nov. 1. (Special Telegram.)
Scoreless at tho end of the first period
find beaten, 9 to 6, at the whistle of the
half, Stlehm's Cornhuskers came back
with a determined rush In tho last half
and defeated Ames, 19 to 9. The game
waa one of the most fierce!- fought ever
staged on State field. A howling crowd
. of 6,000 witnessed the defeat.
Excepting tho first quarter, when It!
looked gloomy for Nebraska, It waa Ne
braska's game. In the first period It
looked all Ames. Dut the Cornhuskers
came back on tho field In the last, halt
a different crew, outdoing Ames' dashing
offense with the same llne-batterfng. style
of play. ' Ueck, Towle, Rutherford, Coffee,
Ilalllgan and Elwell divided the honors
for Nebraska, neck's uncheckable . llnet (l
smashing and scoring waa the brilliant
feature of tho game, The star left-half
scored two touchdowns for Nebraska;
Halllgan, acting as captain Instead of
Towle, scoring the .third and final touch
down. Rutherford at right-half played a
censatlonnl smashing game, he being shot
Into and forced through the Cyclone line
time an dagaln for gains that made
uroups of successive downs In succession.
He was the backbone of tho Nebraska
defense In tho first quarter and the main
spring of Nebraska's overwhelming of- !
fenso through the rest of the game, until
he was wracked so severely by the stub'
born Cyclone defense that he was taken
out In the fourth period to be relieved
by eDlamater, who did not fall short of
Rutherford's magnificent game to any j
degree. j
Ames started the game with a dash- 1
tearing speed that sw.cpt Nebraska down
the field. In the first quarter tho Cyclone
backs piled Into the 6ornhusker line with
ease. The Ames attack In the Initial
period was merciless, the Nebraska line
cffrelng a resistance as futile as a high
school defense.
Ames' backs plowed great caps In the
Nebraska line, making gains of three to
seven yard at a plunge. It invariably be
ing up to the Nebraska secondary de
fense to stop the Cyclone, backs after
they had smashed through a hole In the
line. But the Nebraskans delayed the
rush In the socond period and stopped
it and turned the tide In the third and
fourth.
Wilson, the Ames half who laid out
Tollfson, tho great "Gopher" quarter,
and since has been out of the game as
a result of that tackling, pounded the
Nebraska defense to pieces, he, Davta
and XJhl butchered the line for long
chunks of Cornhusker territory. Bron
nan. fighting little Ames' quarterback,
who gave the Cyclones all they got In
the way of scoring. In tho first quarter
he crossed the Nebraska goal for the
third time that that deed has been done
this season-
Brennan received the klckoff on his
own twenty-two-yard Hue, Jerked himself
loose o fthree tackles, dodged the clus
tered Nebraska defense and race seven
tyelght yards for a touchdown, hotly
chased by the entire Nebraska team.
Shortly after Brennan scpred Ames'
only touchdown and Ames had driven the
ball back from one of Howard's long
punts to Nebraska's thirty -eight-yard
line, the Cyclone general dropped back
near! yto the fifty-yard line and booted
with a light wind high above the bar
between the posts.
