Kan- Dec 7. Playing a heady game and exhibiting superior teamwork, the Camp Fun-ston Divisional football eleven today defeated Camp Grant, 21 to 6. Two of Funston's touchdowns were the result of blocked kicks. The third touchdown resulted from a series of line bucks which carried Zachritz across the Grant goal line. Shaw and Felflinger blocked two Grant kicks and made possible the other two touchdowns.

All three goals were kicked by Gardner. Grant was able to penetrate the Funston defense successfully, but once when they shoved the oval across the goal, and failed to kick Now rr.

The Cornhuskers booted, or tried to: but big Deeds rushed in and blocked the ball, Washington recovering it on Nebraska's 12 -yard line. The Piker plunging attack was checked and Simpson tried for field goal, missing the upright by a hair.

Time wassailed after Nebraska had kicked from the 20-yard mark. Third Quarter. SIMPSON again ran Nebraska's kickoff back 20 yards; but after plunges and passes had been stopped dead, Kvans. punted and the Corn huskers booted It right back without even trying to rush the ball. On the third down Simpson placed a 25 forward pass in Feuerborn's hands and the Washington end dashed to Nebraska's 15-yard line.

It looked like a possible score; but after small gains, Simpson grounded a forward pass behind the goal line for a touch-back. Nebraska kicked out. Washington lost three yards on a double pass. Simpson elected himself to carry the ball and gained five yards, but ordered a kick following a failure to gain later. Nebraska punted on the first down and Simpson worked another forward pass for 10 yards.

Three more tries failed, however, and Evans punted to Nebraska's 10-yard line. Here Nebraska woke up. Dobson lunged 20 yards through the line. He repeated for 12 and Shellenberg added 15 more. Washington's line ap peared to have suddenly had its supports knocked out from under it.

The Nebraska quarter cleverly shifted to a forward pass and Shellenberg caught the ball for an 18-yard gain. The ball was now on Washington's 22-yard line, the Cornhuskers having marched 65 yards. It was here the Piker team found Itself again, checking the Cornhuskers for three downs. On the fourth down Berger leaped, into the air and intercepted a forward pass. Washington punted and the period came to a closw with the ball in mid-field.

Fourth Quarter. NEBRASKA started off the final quarter by a fumble which cost her six yards. Schellenberg tossed a successful forward pass for 12 yards which prompted the captain to order another. But George Berger leaped up and Intercepted the throw, dashing back 25 yards before he was downed. Washington couldn't gain an Inch and grounded two forward passes.

A punt followed and Nebraska retrieved the ball on her 4-yard line. The Cornhuskers" play was broken up for a loss the first try; on the next one a poor punt gave Washington the ball onNebraska's 30-yard line. Here again Simpson and Berger connected with a forward pass, which carried the ball to the Nebraska 5-yard mark. And there It stopped for three downs. On the fourth, seeing the hopelessness of line plays, Simpson dropped back to the 18-yard line and booted a field goal from directly in front of the uprights.

"Washington 17, Nebraska 7. Simpson's "old head" showed Itself when Nebraska kicked off. Eber received the ball and started for Nebraska's goal. He was checked and almost thrown, and the official properly blew his whistle. Simpson kept on down the field, shaking off persistent tacklers.

and passed across the goal line. He had heard the whistle. But he also knew that time was going on and that his team had a fairly safe lead over the enemy. He was playing for time. Kvans punted over 60 yards when the ball was brought back.

In descending It touched a Nebraska player woh fumbled and Feuerbdrn recovered it, on Nebraska's 20-yard line. Again the forward pass, Simpson to Busick, put the ball oh Nebraska's 5-yard line. Again three plays failed to score. And again It was up to Simpson to boot a field goal. This time the angle was a wide one and the goal very difficult.

But Simpson put it through, making the count 20 7. Simpson rushed back Nebraska's kickoff 25 yards, but Evans was soon forced to punt. A Nebraska fumble again gave Washington the ball, Kraehe this 'time being down In time to retrieve It, The Simpson-Feuerborn combination worked another forward pass, and a plunge put the ball on Nebraska's 12-yard line, with another score in sight. But over-eagerness by Washington resulted In holding and 15-yard penalty. Washington punted over the goal line and Nebraska scrimmaged from the 20-yard line.

In three tries her backs did not gain an inch, and then the whistle blew. Better Get Your Hud SOEH toss as coolly as If nobody were near. It was no wonder that first substitute quarterback Siebert said, when Simpson was mentioned: "I consider it an honor to be understudy to a man of Simpson's class." Inkers' Intrrfrrmrr Aoteworth jr. Simpson out, the rest of the Washington eleven played first-class football. Their interference was of the highest order and they left their feet in blocking would-be tacklers In a way to cheer the heart of the old grad, who sat disconsolate In the stand among 7000 other fans and watched a game that was three-fourths in the air.

Nebraska exhibited a powerful team physically. The giant Monte Munn at center loomed up like a lighthouse, and was in the game up to his eyes, despite his 205 pounds. The rotund guard, Ross, who makes the scale hit the beam at 235 pounds, although his mean altitude above sea level is only 5 feet 8 inches, was quite a power in his own precinct until Left Guard Kohlbry ran him ragged and into the showers in the second half. From end to end and even in the back field. was patently a huskier team.

tbraka' Line Overrated. Nebraska brought here the reputa tion of having the best defensive line in the West. But "Washington's forwards outcharged them repeatedly and in the end outplayed them regularly. So completely was this so, in the final period, that Nebraska's rushes flattened out against the Piker line like billows against a cliff; their nttarkn wrrr thrown bark and daring the period their attempts at running JiPUially ciMt them 18 yards In losses. Nebraska's line utterly failed to sow the superiority claimed for It.

Washington, on the other hand, vindicated its backfield laurels by demonstrating Its superiority to Dobson, Shellenberg, Hartley, et al. The St. Louisans shone in every football quality desirable: and as between Evans, Berger and Hausladen it would be unfair to. draw distinctions they are ALL football players, although Berger And Evans were in the limelight more than the line-bucking Hausladen. The entire Washington team was in the game as was evident from the work of Kraehe in recovering a Washington punt that hit a Nebraska man.

Second Quarter. WASHINGTON punted on the first down, after shifting goals, and Lantz was down on Washington's 30-yard line after a feeble kick that went outside.

On the second down the all-conference star, Dobson. broke through the line for a 13-yard gain. The next attack was stopped, but a forward pass sent Swanson to Washington's 3-yard line. The Cornhusker forwards again failed wofully to penetrate the enemy, that defense threw back the next two attacks for a loss. Then a forward pass over the line to Swanson Just touched the finger tips of that player as he leaped: the ball bounced out of his hands, and then settled safely back just as he was smothered by enemy players.

It was a touchdown and goal followed, giving Nebraska the lead. Following the kickoff came a double exchange of punts which eventuated In Washington getting the ball on Nebraska's 40-yard line. Two forward passes in succession, one to Berger, the other to Kvans (both short ones), put the fighting Pikers on the Nebraska 17-yard line. Washington's blood was up and every, man was working at toa speed. Kvans twisted and squirmed through for seven yards.

Berger for five and Kvans plunged over for the touchdown. Simpson's goal tied the score. 7 7. After Nebraska received the kick-off and punted to Washington. Simpson renewed his overhead attack and on the first trial he dropped a 20-yard pass Into Kvans arms he had to leap a trifle to get It and the "dark horse" galloped around and through the greedy clutches of the enemy 55 yards for a touchdown.

Simpson again booted goal, giving Washington the lead. 14 7. t'impaon made a cplendid run-hack Unfortunately for the valley champions of last year, Eber was there with both feet, t. powerful an accurate forward passing arm and one of the best he.ids that has ever rlircctel the destiny of a football machine in these parts. The combination, plus beautiful interference, alertness and fine football sense on the part of all his helpers, enabled the Wash-ingtonians to beat the visitors, 20 7.

in what many football experts con-sider the best gridiron exhibition rhice Nebraska lost visited in this city and was beaten by Eddie Cochems famous machine. Below the neck Simpson Isn't much to look at. Above it he wouldn't win many prizes for personal pulchritude. But his brand of football was certainly beautiful to look upon. As Director -General of Washington's field play, yesterday, he was a masterpiece of coolness and eff icierfcy.

No man could have raadij better use of his football tools than did Simpson, yesterday, and the only man who can divide credit equally with him for the Piker victory is Coach R. B. Rutherford vt ho exhibited one of the best coached and drilled teams that ever played on Francis Field home or visiting eleven. Simpson (Scores FIsl.t Points. Directly in the scoring: Simpson himself -onlributed points to the "W'ashinstnn total in itsolf enough to hve beaten Nebraska, the points resulting: from two field goals in the final period and goal kicks following touchdowns.

His splendid forward passing also contributed directly to the scoring of a touchdown, since it was his accurate shooting In the second period that dropped the ball 20 yards into the waiting arms of Joe Evans, whose lithe frame swayed and dodged through the entire Nebraska eleven for a 03-yard run across the enemy line. Simpson also forward-passed the Pikers within plunging distance of goal, from which point Hausladen, Rerger and Evans jarred their way through the Nebraska line for the Washington's first touchdown, the one that tied the score. Simpson did not undertake much Ir running with ball and only on rai-occasions did he elect himself to rush the enemy's defenses. He tried perhaps three times during the game, one effort netting five yards. ame Was "In the Air.

First, last and all the time It was an aerial game and not a contest of running attack. The first period was I almost exclusively punting, both sides kicking on the first down more than once. In all, Washington punted 20 times, while Nebraska was driven to It on 19 occasions. In the other aerial department, forward passing, Washington enjoyed its greatest margin of superiority, since on the afternon It completed 11 out of 23 passes, for 252 yards gain, while Nebraska completed two out of seven tries, for 49 yards gain. The forward pass success was made possible by Simpson, who was a man of Ice when the.

conflict was hottest. With potential tacklers charging hungrily down on him, he sidestepped them even as they lunged, picked his man to receive the ball and made the First Quarter. NEBRASKA kicked off from the east side of the field to Berger on the 10-yard line, the Washington captain dashlnjr back to the 30-yard line aided by good Interference. "Dark horse," Joe Kvans set the stands a-cheerlng on the next play with a 22-yard run around the end, doubling back on his own trail In order to do it. A short forward pass added another first down and Hausladen plunged through to the Nebraska 30-yard line for nine yards more.

This made a clear march of over 40 yards and the crowd was already singing "touchdown," when the Nebraska line came to life on Its own 25-yard line nnd stood like a rock, stopping two line plays and breaking up two for ward passes, the ball changing hands on downs. The Cornhuskers here started a punting game which resulted In a persistent booting on the first down every time they got the ball. Washington, after several Ineffectual tries at the line, resorted to the same tactics. Up to the last three minutes nf play neither side would keep the ball airy longer than it took to boot it back to the other fellow. As a result of the exchanges Washington gradually fell back losing a total of about 15 yards on the exchanges.

Just as the crowd was beginning to yawn. Ross, the 236-pound guard. Intercepted a Washington forward pass on the Pikers' 35-yard line and Nebraska then started a real attack. In three successive heaves Dnbai -n and Shellenberg were hurled tail ugh the Pikers line for a total of yards bringing the ball to the Tllf ne. where Washington showed Its sterling qualities by hold, log for downa-Mt was hot work and la four tries Nebraska did not gain two yard.

D.

Kline of Nebraska, during the final period of the game yesterday. Pointing to Ebcr Simpson, he continued: "There's the cause of it. He's the greatest player I ever had the good fortune to see. On records and on weights, my team seemed at least evenly matched with Washington. The difference, or rather Washington's superiority, lies In their possession of Simpson.

If we had him we might have made It a different story." He was asked If be did not think it just to give Evans a share of the glory. "Yes," replied Kline, "but Evans could not have made his touchdown but for Simpson's accurate passing. A brainy man, that fellow, and a keen student of football. He hasn't played against us this afternoon, he has simply stood out there and thought about us." Kline's remarks Just about agreed with a majority of those persons who stood on the sidelines. The center of interest, Simpson held up his end admirably.

His kicking in the final period, which definitely decided the contest, was marvelous to watch, particularly his last field goal, which was booted from a seemingly Impossible angle. Even Coach Kline and the Nebraska substitutes remarked after the ball had gope between the "Marvelous. It can't be beaten." Coach Dick Rntherfoi-d of the Pikers, laid the groundwork for negotiations looking toward making the Nebraska game an annual affair. The matter was discussed informally between the Pikeway mentor and Prof. Scott, Athletic Director at the Cornhusker institution.

With the victory of the Pikers yesterday, Rutherford believes Nebraska will willingly consent to such an arrangement since they will want to avenge the defeat next year. It probably will be worked out in detail at the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference in Kansas City this month. Coach Ernest C. Qnfgley of the Billikens, was an Interested spectator during the first half, along with Bill Higgins, captain of St. Louis U.

"Tfebraska showed the same flaw as did my eleven." said Quigley. "One of their ends is trying to cover Evans. The other is letting him run wild. However, It looks like Simpson and Evans will beat any team near their own class." What aor of honor was attached to yesterday's victory? Prof. Scott was asked In the second period, whether Nebraska would claim the Valley title If they won.

We never Intended to," said he, "because we don't believe there's any basis for It." According; to Coach Kline, only two players who participated In yesterday's gamo have been Ineligi ble under Conference rules. They were Monte Lunn and Lantz. both of whom are freshmen this year.

More than 60,000 are in service. It has proved its value under every possible circumstance. During the past year and a half, when cars had to be of the right stuff or they failed because there was no expert service to keep them in condition, the Super-Sixes never faltered. The reputation Hudson made for itself during that trying period has added a new glory to an already supreme car. We now have a few cars of some of the more popular models.

Only a few bars to meet four or five months' needs. The reason is this: Production of Hudson Super-Sixes was to have been discontinued January 1st. Then the war came to a sudden end and automobile production was allowed to proceed.

But a factory cannot instantly be turned from war activities to building motor cars. It will be in June, at least, before Hudson production can be brought back to normal.
