FARMERS HAVE BEST OF THE EARLY GOING Visitors Resort to the Air for Gains While the Cornhuskers Plow.By John Bentley. Kansas Aggies fell in defeat befote the Nebraska Cornhuskers for the first time this season, Saturday afternoon, 21 to 0. But the fall was not hard. Nor waa the defeat inglorious.Men who have followed Nebraska football teams for years made the assertion after the game that had not the goddess of luck looked with much faTor upon the Huskers the outcome might have been far different.If the war department had been half as efficient in the air during the late hostilities as the Sunflower Farmers proved themselves to bo, th war would have ended months before it did. The Visitors completed over half their forward passes, to be exact, 20 out ol 37 tiies weie successful for gi-ins totalling 158 yards. The Huskers attended but one pass which was incomplete.Only Five Yards Difference.In the matter of gaining yards from scrimmage It was only by a spurt in the last half that the Huskers got within shotting distance. The final totals show the- Aggies gained 2G5 yards while the Nebraskans rammed thru lor 270. A difference of but five yards.It was this record which served to assuage the sting ol defeat rankling In the bieast3 of the Kansas Plow-boys. The fact that the Husker backfield had but one regular in it when the opening whistle sounded helps explain a\v*ay the manner in which the visitors were given the List two rounds on> points. Bub Weller, bulwark ot' the Husker line was also wrapped in a .blanket on the sidelines when the t ray started. It proved a beautiful game to watch. Tb"e frequent Hips ol the Kansans blended well with the runs of Dave Noble and Lewellen to bring about the spectacular. On the fust play after Nebraska Kot the ball in the first period. Noble skirted the Aggie right end for the longest run of the game, forty yaids. !t was Swartz, Aggie saiety man, who saved a toucndown. Russell attempted a drop kick from the 40-yaid line after Noble's run. The ball hit one of the goal posts and bounded back into the Held twenty yaids. Hartley Blocks Kick. The fust touchdown Nebraska �cored started when Captain Hart.ey , partially blocked Braudley's punt, Lewellen recovering it and canying the ball to the Aggies' 15-yaid line, in th� second penod. Line smashes by Le�vellen, H. Dewitz and Hartley put the ball on the 2-yard line and LeWelien lugged it over. The Aggies weie carried away with their success in the air and as a result weie penalized seven moie points. It is a rule of long standing that to pass within your own 20-yard line Is taking tar too much chance. But the Aggies did it in the third period and Lewellen intercepted the Hip on the Kansans' 22 yaid line, racing from there to the last lime mark. The last touchdown began when Captain Haitley intercepted a pass and ran it back to the Husker's 44-; ard line. A sustained attack, featured by the gaii.s of Noble, put the ball on the Aggies' 4-yaid line rrom which vantage point Noble dove Oif tackle for the -counter. H. Devvitz's place kick went wide but the Kansans were oflside and the point counted. Swartz An Accurate Passer. The left hand passing of Swartz puzzled the Huskers. His passing was distressingly accurate and on three dilferent occasions perfect passes were missed by Kansans who were in the clear. The Huskeis kept to the straight tactics, attempting but one pass which was incomplete. Lewc.ien proved a consistent ground gainer and wheu Noble came back in the sec ond halt he reeled oif some spectac ular runs which earned one touchdown and was paving the wa> to another when the linal whistle sounded. The ball at that time was on the Aggies' 7-jaid line. The summary : Nebraska� �Kansas Aggies �ehoeppel .........le.......... \\ ebber Wenke...........'......... Mi.ln.ia Bsssttt ...........Ik........
