and Races 90 to Touchdown BY HARRY BULLION Ann Arbor Mich Oct Be tween prancing around with elev ens that hibernate in the Missouri valley and fooling with a Yost drilled football machine there is at vast difference especially when the latter has its ire aroused The truth of this statement wasi brought home forcibly to Ncbras ka on I erry ield this afternoon Coming out of the west a 2 to 1 1 favorite in the betting against Michigan Saturday morning the Cornhuskcrs returned to Lincoln! Neb tonight in complete rout and with a great deal more respect for the volverincs than even the cam pus at Ann Arbor was charitable enough to accord them Two touchdowns pair of gnat kicks and two boots from the field represent the margin by which' Michigan won as the Nebraskans never were permitted to penetrate Michigan's territory beyond the 15 hard line and that liberty was tak en but once early In the Sflrst period no department of the gam was Michigan Inferior to the visi tors except in avoirdupois whirl on this occasion didn't make any material difference and from the time that roemke recovered a fumble and raced 90 yards down the field for the Wolverines' Initial score Nebraska was obliged to fight on the defensive Turning 1'olnt There roemko's alertness In pouncing on the ball that Dobson fumbled his agility In getting over tho chalk marks and the supcro blocking of Weston and We maun were the fac tors that changed the complexion of the game put new life Into Michigan and thrust Nebraska on the defensive which she never felt free to alter or to trust In the breaks to recover from the dam age hero In Ann Arbor iJtU tie Gerald rocrnke and in ftiture years Michigan's

argue that the effective blocking of Wes don and TVelmann made rnenike feat possible yet none can dispute Gerald rliht to nil the glorv of his achievement Before the opening that gave roemke his chance came Nebraska nuH In possession of the ball on Michigan's 15 yard line and in view of her success In ad vancing it is reasonable to believe tnat tne westerners would scored a touchdown The I)Ir Chance Cuine Dohson who with MfAInhnii the bright spot In Nebraska's at tack was signaled to plunge off tackle Ik fore he could advance far howfur Welmann brought him tn earth with a suddenness that di vorced IHihsvh and the ball and set th slage for roemke Like a ct the left halfback fastened to thohall and commenced the race with frantic Cornhuskers tho length of tho field Three times In that Journo rd Jereeyed athletes were about drape their arms around roemke to stay his progress but each time they met misfortune In the shape of perfect blocking Only after tho ball was planted behind the gnat line did roemke succumb the win ner of a race that was as sensa tional as it was startling Michigan was considered at least the equal ot Nebrastca prior to that performance she was much superior thereafter rom that mo ment the play barring a short spell In the final quarter was continual ly in the territory difficult to discover which was the better coached eleven either men plaved like a unit flung themselves Into the at tack with a spirit and keen knowl edge of what they were doing and on defense resembled a stuncwuli tackling was vicious and hard while th dash and vim the boys put Into their play when in possession of the Uafhr wilted the heavier Nebraskans Time after time the center of Michigan uno or that part of It from tackle to tackle opened up boles for the backs to go through' which per mitted the slow starting Welmann and the little flash Weston to lu the ball for substantial gams with a regularity that astounded even the Maize and Blue student body that stood al!
