Followers of football in the camp of he Nebraska Cornhuskers experienced i rather unusual sensation yesterday afternoon on the Nebraska rectangle. Phe said sensation inspired more or ess anguish to those who had come to ook on the "Cornhuskeis as invincible their own circle, but whether pain- 'ul or otherwise, the fact remains that he Huskers -were piloted to a husking party In their own corn field. The layhawk-ers from Kansas university ilso were present and when the spoils tvere sorted over and the final record it was disclosed that the Kansas invaders had outhusked the Huskers and were victors to the of 7 to 3.

The Kansas share ivas a lone touchdown--the only per- -ormance of that nature achieved dur- ng the contest, while the credit mark Nebraska resulted from a success- rul goal from placement, the latter sooted from the 40-yard chalk-line by Daptain Tim Corey. The overthrow of the Cornhuskers was witnessed by 6,000. worshipers of the game of the gtid. Although tveather conditions never were more ideal the annual combat between Sornhusker and Jayhawk, rivals for eadershlp in Missouri valley circles tor a. quarter of a century, failed to ittract the anticipated turnout.

The south and west stands were packed to h3 limit, but the stands on the north side of the field were scarcely half Muddle In Title Race. While the defeat had been predicted Dy those who have been in close touch with situation in the Nebraska -amp and also feared by the Nebraska many Cornhugker adherents md refused to rate the Jayhawkers as 'oemen worthy of Nebraska's steel and the latter the Kansas triumph came is a painful surprise. One result of the victory for the Jayhawkers is to throw the Missouri valley conference championship race into a hop-less nuddle Kansas, although taking Na- oraska's measure, has been drubbed by the Ames Cyclones, who lost to the Cornhuskers two weeks ago. Missouri, another contender, was worsted recently by the Kansas Aggies, who were trounced by Nebraska early in the season. On the basis of percentage and from the standpoint of otal scores, Nebraska might lay claim to the valley tlUe, yet a championship svould be an empty honor when the -ecord includes a defeat at the hands 3f the Jayhawkers, so Cornhusker supporters will be content to pass up their claims on z.

paper title and look forward to another year. In winning from Nebraska, the Jay- tiawkera compiled their first victory it Nebraska's expense since the con- tlict of 1909, when Tommy Johnson sped 60 yards to a touchdown and planted the pigskin behind the Nebraska goal for the only score of the 3ay. And when Fullback Nielsen lived over the Nebraska line and was lowned behind the goal, it was lrst touchdown against the Cornhusk- srs In seven seasons of football. Likewise, it was Nebraska's first defeat by a valley conference opponent in seven seasons of football and Ne- Draska's first defeat by any adversary since the campaign of 1912. Statistics Favor the Huskers.

The statistical record of the fray Indicates that Kansas, the victorious sleven, was decisively outplayed The figures disclose that the Cornhuskers idvanced the oval a total distance of 890 yards In comparison with a total it 142 yards to the credit of K. U. Nebraska executed 16. first downs and Kansas held to seven first downs. But statistics do not win football the record shows that the Jay- 'lawkers put over the only touchdown it the afternoon and all the arguments advanced by Nebraska adher- snts cannot go behind the returns.

Faulk failed to kick goal. Three minutes after the second quarter opened, California by a series of pretty passes, carried the ball to Washington's 10-yard lire where Montgomery put a pretty field goal between the posts.

Ohio stale kept In practice for the big event by defeating- Case 28 to 0 in a practice game. Coach Murphy showed more football with Ills Northwestern huskies today than in any same this year. The eleven was held back until the third quarter when Murphy told them to cut looae and they fairly swamped Purdue In this period by scoring- 28 points In straight, hard, football. The western football experts say there is very little to choose between Northwestern and Ohio state and one of the best games of the treason is ex- pectfd at Columbus. Other big games in the big- nine to day upset the dope.

I Pennsylvania beat Michigan 10 to 7, which doesn't prove anything- insofar as the western situation la concerned. Down In the Missouri valley, Kansas unexpectedly beat Nebraska by the narrow margin of 7 to 3.

The result of Michigan's policy toward the west and the fact that the Missouri valley teams do not meet the big niners, Michigan, the winner at Columbus next Saturday, and Kansas, can all claim to be the strongest western team.

The comtnc conflict on Iowa field between Cornhusker and Hawkeye, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, November 25. will round out a struggle for football supremacy Involving Nebraska and Iowa universities had its inception a quarter of a century ago. The maintenance of relations has not been continuous, but the breaks account for only six years of twenty-five, so tho gauges of tradition steps In to measure the Interest and to decree that tho annual combat between tho two Institutions will provide tho usual quota of thrill.i In entertainment of tho many thousands of football devotees who -will undoubtedly gather noxt Saturday at-ound tho Town. City gridiron. The record that Iowa and Nebraska began to play football when the spoH of tho pigskin was first gaining- attention In the middle wt'it.

For neiulv ton veara it was tho custom of tho two manaKemonts to stngo the annual Jo'ust at Omaha or Council Bluffa, generally on Thanksgiving day. Then camo a throe-year suspension and when relations were resumed, an agiecinent wan entered Into which provided that the contents wore to nltornatp between lown City and Thin arrangement is not only tho present policy of tho two Institutions, but it Is required by tho Big Nino and Missouri valley conference statutes. Record Favors Nebraika. Another striking- fact, unfolded by tho recoid, is that tho Cornhuskcrs have a long lead over the Hawkeyes In the number of victories. In fact, the lowans have not munched tho swcet.M of a victory over Nebraska since tho season of 1899, the year when Conch Knlpc'H Iluwkoves were rated as the premier aggregation of the mlddlo west.

Meantime, the Cornhuskers have compiled six successful triumphs, while a seventh encounter, the latter In 1909, resulted in a tie count of 6 to 6. Tho great Nebrnwka teams of 1918 and when the Huskers were undefeated, found in Iowa a worthy foe, but tho still greater Nebraska of 1915 fairly smothered the Hawkoycs under an avalanche of touchdowns which netted a score of B2 to 7. This year's dope sheet favors neither Institution. The Huskors hava played disappointing football all season and, while winning fivo successive games, have not even approached tha form of tho Nebraska team of 191B. Iowa started discouragingly, but tha Hawkoycs were barely nosed out by Northwestern only a week ago and Iowa stock is at the high mark of the season.

One advantage In Iowa's favor is that the Cornhuskers must trek to Iowa field. His Own Car Disabled, Aitken Takes Wilcox's Machine and Triumphs. Four Kilted When Jackson's Car Leaves Track at Ninety Miles an Hour. Cambridge Coach Refuses to Risk Using Regulars on Providence Team. SANTA MONICA.

But Harold Edfferton and on unidentified woman attendant in a refreshment booth could not flee in time and were instantly killed boforo tho speeding Marmon. which snapping off two trees, came to rest against a telegraph pole.

Nov by a dusky meteor named Pollard, Brown's powerful football team overwhelmed the Harvard substitutes this afternoon, 21 to 0. In every period of the game the Brown attack, built around the brilliant negro halfback, crushed and plowed Its way triumphantly through the weak Crimson line.

It was a shallow victory, in that Harvard not only started her substitutes, but many times delayed the game with constant changes But Brown is happy tonight in the knowledge that even with ber regulars, Harvard would have been hard put to stop the brilliant Providence eleven. Pollard was the star of the game. Time and again he slid off tackle or circled the Crimson ends for long Kilns. In the first period It was his brilliant runback of a Harvard punt and his 36-yard run from the Harvard 40-yard line which' gave Brown her first chance to score It was Pollard who brought the Brown men to their feet In the third period he through center and then dodged and staggered his way through the entire Harvard team for a touchdown, after a run of forty-five yards. In this period Harvard wms penalized for roughing Pollard.
