Cornhusker and Catholic clashed yesterday as gruelling a grUiron combat as ever was staged on Na- br.iska field. Far sixty minutes the sons of Nebraska and the warriors from Notre Dame collided in a nerve racking battle, the spoils of viciciy being annexed by the Huskers by tha narrow margin of a single point. Nebraska 20, Notre Dame 19, was the linal reckoning and the 8,000 footbill enthusiasts who witnessed the struggle may (latter themselves that it was their privilege to inspect an mcnt which represented the perfection of football the most tnrilling of college spoils. Tlie Notre Dame athletes inaugurated the combat with a burst of spaed spelled dismay to the thousands of Nebiuska supporters who jammed the stands. Straight down the field they marched to a touchdown, hammering their way through the line or speeding around the wings in a procession ot advances which did not cease until Bergman, Notre Dame flashy right half buck, had downed the ball beyond the Cornhusker's goal.

Cornhuskers adherents feared that thrir favorites were destined to sustain th" -til-fit defeat in three triumphant 3 ears of western tootball. Then the Huskers responded with an att n.k which netted a touchdown and Corey's successful kick planted the Ne- biaskans in the lead. The second period of play savt the Catholics ic- new their lelentless attack and ii.ittct their way to a second touchdown, but the Huskers soon carried the battle into the enemy's territory, lighting their way to a tie and then sprinting to a third touchdown. It was a lead which seemed rjuite sufficient to decide the issue, but the Catholics, intercepting a forward pass and gaining of the oval, once mu-e smashed their way down the gridiron over the Nebraska, -joal. A successful go.il kick was needed to put the Catholics on even terms and Coach Harper, commanding the forces from the Hoosicr state, sent Miller, his crack goal kicker, into action to take the place of Cofall in the Notre Dame lineup.

The strain of tho situation tin-nerved Miller; his kick went wide of the posts, and the Huskers were victorious by a single point. Chamberlain the Big Answer. Evenly matched on the score of beef, the contest was reaturcd by the line-smashing and ene-running- tactics of Notre Dame and the brilliant forward-passing of the Cornhuskers. On yards gamed fiom snapback, the advantage slightly in Nebraska's favor. First downs were even, with twelve for each team, while the Catholics were set back a greater dis- stance on penalties for violations of the Guy Chamberlain, pluyins on the left wins: of the Nebraska Imp, saved the day for the Cornhuskers.

Twice he sped around the Notre Dame ends and planted the ball behind the enemy goal. Tod Riddell, right end, scored Nebraska's tnlrd touchdown after nabbing a forward pass, hurlecl by. Quarterback Caley, and sprinting the remaining distance to the Notre Dame goal. Corey, Nebraska's husky left tackle, missed one of his three goal kicks, but the success whic.i featured two of his efforts gave the Huskers the victory by their one-point margin. Notre' Dame presented a wonderf'il back field trio in Cofall, Bergman and Bachman.

At ramming the line cr skirting the ends, their exhibition never was surpassed on Nebraska field, yet the bulk of the honors achieved by the Catholics in their defeat must go to the ciedit of Bergman, who followed his interference with exceptional skill and, once la JUMBO STIEHM Master coach of the west, whose Cornhuskers have won four successive Missouri valley championships and now apparently are headed toward tho acquisition of another valley title. the open, covered the chalk lines with bursts of speed compelled the admiration of every Cornnuskei supporter the stands. Twice the diminutive Notre Dame halfback raced across the Nebraska goal. On throe other occasioiis-'hc had a clear field, excepting lor one Coriihusker, aivl but for unerring tackling by Captain Ruthlertord and Quarterback Caley the joy which hold sway night in the camp of the Huskersj-yould have turned to gloom "Dachman, Notre Dame's beefy fullback, his way through the bijnaslled off the tackles witlr'thtc jMlfM a human catapult, wnilfe- Oman'also made trouble for the Iluskers in his line plunges and As gcn- eial proposition, forwards out-charged tho line players, and when runs and line smashes failed to "get results, the lluskers attack and resorted to trie -Hipon game." This style of offense was a factor whicn the Catholics could not successfully combat. It turned threatened defeat into glorious victory, placing the pupils of Jumbo Stiehm in line for another western championship.

Notre Dame while not detected slugging, played rough football--the roughest any Nebraska en had encountered in years. "The Catholic warriors were bent on putting Cham bcrlain, Nebraska's star performer, out of commission. During the third period, following Chamberlain's electrifying sprint to the Cornhuskers' second touchdown--a touchdown which he scored on sheer brilliance by nut- ting in and side-stepping Notre Dume's secondary defense--one of the Notre Dame players hurled himself onto Chamberlain as the latter lay prostrate in the grip of a Cutholic tackier. It was a palpable foul, yet it went unnoticed by tho officials unpunished by the Infliction nf penalty prescribed by the rules. The Catholics had been coached to atop Chamberlain.

They succeeded frequently, but failed just often enough to be forced to look on as the Corn- huskers' brilliant left end was i ning fame as the greatest running halfback ever developed in the annals of Nebraska football. Despite the rough tactics of the Catholics, the Cornhuskers finished the combat in fine fettle, barring an injury to Captain Rutherford. Only four suosti- tutes were in action, two for each eleven, the coaches evidently fearing to experiment in a contest so dss- perately close and therefore deciding to pin their faith to the regulars who faced the fire of the opening volley. Views of Coaches and Captains Coach Stiehm of Nebraska: "It n-as the hardest game Nebraska has encountered in years. Of course, I was pleased to win.

Notre Danie has a great eleven, yet we beat them on wits by using the forward pass. Nrotre Dame was well coached in straight football, both offensively and defensively, but in the open game Nebraska out played them decisively. In winning, our new players learned a lot of football--more than they could be taught in two years of coaching. We finished in good shape. Ames comes next on our schedule and we jnust nrepare for another hard gnmf." Captain Rutherford: "The Con- huskers didn't play ui- to standard, but it was goods to win from a strong ip- (Contmued on Page Two.)

It was u.iniv to the last blow of the whistle. and whur that whistle did a gio relief as experienced by all Nebrask i sdherenis. To a extent it was a battle of the new open formation same against the mor' consarvathe straight foo'- boll, an'l the former won. I don't mean to say that either team reli" 1 1 wholly in one of the other les ao -oth varied their play, but the Corn- huskers resorted more to ppen tor- mation- trick plays and' forward than Notre Dame and 'hey got away with it in splendid style.

I don't think it would be far wrens? 'o say that Nebraska was almost compelled to resort to the passing game as the victois pot ut) a wonderful defense against straight football. On the other hand X-tre Dame tound comparativo- 'y little difficuitv Kainins, without -sing- pasFBG or trick plays. Notre Dame on Edge. The v. uy the visitors started down the field at the beginning: was enouu'-i to the most loyal rooter.

Their team work was brilliant had speed to burn. They were certainly on edge for the test and they fairly the Nebraska boys i pushing the ball down tho field and over the line in less than seven minutes of pla. Nebraska ut 1 he beginning did not appear to i-c able to nd herself. The boys were slow and soi'ld not get together. But there was plenty of come-back stuff throughout the game and the way tht Nebraska came back after the first tcore was worth going- ruilps to see.

In fact this was characteristic of. both teams throughout the Ijiini; scored on or being bo- Uind did not seem to make iuiy i ference with either team in yesterday's game, except that both played harder when it looked bad. While otre Dame did not seem to let up in the least Nebraska got as the game progressed. It was the lorward pass, however, th.it put crimp in- Notre Dame. In the fourth 'Miarter Nebraska pulled two long on in succession, the last one of which resulted in a touchdown Notic Dame did not savy them, came back and made a touchdown with olcl time football bringing- fhe score to 19-20.

Nebraska was fortunate in a fate seemed against Jlil- lecl and he missed a.n easy goal, alter a good out had been made. Notre Dame did not try the forward pass untn the fourth quarter when it seemed that she must take desperate chances then her passes for the most part were unsuccessful. Where Visitors Excelled. In several departments of the gamp, visitors had it on Nebraska. Their team wo'-lc was much superior, for tho most part, they got the on our boys, their tackling was surer, and their interference was more effective They were quicker in out Nebraska's ordinary plays.

Nebraska on the other hand used a much greater variety of plays than Notre Dame. She reporter to more trick formations a certainly baftled the visitors with long iorward passes. There were several penalties inflict ed on either team, Notre Dame being the worst offender. The latter used 'short back field shift frequently and he was penalized several times for starting, before the ball was passed. Several long gains were not ullowej Notre Darnc on account penalties.

The gdmc was one of the cleanest over played was almost free from injuries, and there was no wrangling. The heat was severe for players but tine Itr the spectators. Considering the weather conditions and the condition of the ground there were an unusual number of fumbles, but in many instances they were recovered by the olfending teams.

Minnesota has only one conference victory to hoi credit--today's. were given hope today by their team's work in walloping Northwestern, 36 to 6.

The far famed Maulbetsch was stopped before he be- iris plunges gained the four or five first downs that the once mighty Yost hosts got during the four periods. Most of the time Maulbetsch didn't even get as far as his own lino, so quid were tho Aggies to break through and disrupt the Michigan formations. The Aggies were superior in every department.

They showed a defense from ond to ond that couldn't be pioru'd twice in succession. In offense they exhibited as smashing a machine as old days of close formations ever showed, and, when they wanted, they flashed some open style Twentieth century open play and forward passing that each time made it easy for Deprato or Blacklock to go over for the touchdown. Deprato scored first on a field goal from the twonty yard lino the first quarter. He got a touchdown and kicked goal in tho second period and duplicated in tho fourth.
