A little later in the game by a series of steady plays Minnesota carried the ball up the field and scored a touchdown. Then a short time later with another charge up the field we carried the ball almost to the Nebraska goal line but were unable to produce a score. The first half ended 6 to 0.
In the third period Nebraska forced the fight and once advanced the ball to the 3 yard line but a fine defensive brace took it away on downs. A little later Nebraska secured the ball and succeeded in carrying it thru the Minnesota team with a brilliant 30 yard run made by Schellenberg who had been sent to the backfield as a substitute and scored a touchdown just at the end of the third quarter. The attempted goal was missed and the score tied.
Each team fought hard thru the final period to produce a score but without result. During the last quarter Nebraska was almost continually the aggressor but the strong Minnesota defense held the game safe.
