DOBBINS. Rivals over a period of 41 years, Nebraska football teams have been unusually successful against the gridiron elevens turned out by lowa State. The records reveal 26 Cornhusk er triumphs, one tie and only four uycione wins. The last Iowa State victory waa chalked up in Lincoln at the expense of the 1919 Scarlet eleven captained by Paul Dobson The margin was a single goal from the field the game ending 3 to 0. The 1911 battle ended in a 6-6 deadlock while other Cyclone wins were registered in 1897, 1899, and 1906.

The most lopsided score waa the 06 to 6 licking the 1922 Husk-era poured on the Ames clan. Four Close Calls. In later years the going has been much tougher. Nebraska had close calls in 1927, 1930, 1932 and 1934 but managed to come out on top. Last year'a battle resulted in a 34 to 0 win for Dana Bible's pu pils.

With only a little over seven minutes gone in the opening quarter, a lateral, Francis to Douglas to Cardwell from the 6-yard line netted a score. On the following klckoff Full back Sam Francis raced 97 yards thru the entire Cyclone team to make It 14-0 a moment later with only ten minutes gone. Cardy Scores Three Times. There were no more touchdowns in the first quarter and the second period was scoreless. Card-well chalked up his aecond touchdown early in the third period on 87 yard gallop after tatting a lateral from Rammin' Sam.

Early in the fourth Cardwell ran 72 yards for anothertouchdown and Francis made good on the try for point, his fourth straight suc- ceasrui extort. xne nnai eorasaa marker came late in the period, Bill Andre son going over from the 5-yara stripe. GEHRIG JOINS 200-HIT CLUB FOR EIGHTH YEAR NEW YORK. VFt. By hitting a homer and a single against the Boston Red Sox, Lou Gehrig Joined the "200-hlt club" for the eighth year of hla career.

The single, coming in we sev enth Inning and following the homer In the sixth, waa the Yankee iron man'a 200th hit of the season. By reaching the mark thla year, Gehrig la now within one season of Ty Cobb's record of having collected 200 or more hits for nine vears. He is now tied with Paul Waner, who set a new national league record aeveral days ago by collecting hla 200th hit for the eighth year of hla career.

Navy won its second football game of the season, turning back the battling Citadel eleven, 32 to 0, with a crushing last half attack, during which four of the Middles' five touchdowns were scored.

Navy counted for the first time during the last minute of the first half when McFarland plunged over after a determined stand by Citadel. The Navy's second string back-field, led by Cooke and Wood, added another marker in the third, Wood scoring, after which the flrat stringers were rushed in. They raced to three touchdowns in the last period, Ingram, McFarland and Relman going over.

The defeat, worst suffered by the cagey Kerr since he took command of the Red Raiders in 1929, was turned into a rout and a Colgate washout in the final period, aa Brad Holland, Cornell's Junior Negro end, whirled and swirled thru the shell shocked Colgate line for touchdowns.

"What a team!" yowled exulting Nebraakana who had waited 14 years for such a pigskin spectacle on the home gridiron. No idle promise waa Game Captain Johnny Howell'a prediction of victory Friday night to 5,000 yammering atudenta at a bonfire rally behind the coliseum. Casualty in a power play, Howell however, went out of the game before the final whistle had cinched the Husker victory.

Thousands who streamed into Lincoln since Friday night, packed downtown hotel lobbies, had heard the Huskers given 14 points, went wild1 when Howell'a promise bore fruit In victory. Marked with red feathers and Gopher ribbons, they needed no blanketa or overcoats in the stands to watch the Husker eleven put an even bigger feather in the cap of the Biff er. Over Ufe air, three radio chains boomed Nebraaka football stock to thousands of gridiron fans. Ted Huslng, bald headed and voluble commentator for the- Columbia system, begged his chain for 15 extra minutes to review the game that will be written into Husker footballiana in large, crimson letters. For the Mutual ayatem, Reginald Martin, Nebraska's ace announcer, dished out the pigskin drama.

Lyle DeMoss, Droeram director for KFAB, who had to keep an eye on studio pro grams, came to the game anyway, bringing along a headphone set.

Landon of Kansas, 1936 presl-tlal nominee, showed up to put the Sunflower seal on the Huaker victory. For a moment he nearly stopped the show, aa the crowd in the mid section of west stands forgot football for. With a smile and a wave of hia hat, he recognized their cheere. Wlth him, tho not generally recognized, was David Lawrence; nationally known newa columnist. In the crowds that surged up and down the, business section as early aa 9 o'clock Saturday-morning, leaser celebrities were entirely lost from sight.

Ticket scalpers who sometimes nearly tripled prices had little trouble finding customers. Before the game, and drives blocks around the stadium were hedged in with cars. The getaway waa tedioua, but few grumbled. Bierman had been "biffed," and the Golden Gophere had given up their scalps. The celebration of the decade was already under way early Saturday evening, but aome had their ardor damped with cold water.
