Stewart were defending the Cornhusker name on the Iowa gridiron, the younger sons of Lincoln were adding bountifully to the glories of Nebraska field. Coach Baskins brought his young North Platte footballers to this city to mingle with the Red and Blacks of Lincoln high. The visiting 'team carried a big: clean slate. The Red and White lads of western Nebraska had not yet tasted defeat. Other squads in the western part of the state had tried valiajitly but had always succumbed to the warriors of Keith Neville's home town.

The boys had -just reason to feel their oats and the- spectator's at Saturday's content on Nebraska Field will bear wff ness "that Coach Baskins had a mighty team. But to Coach Reese goes the honors of. the day. Never before this season had his Red and Black youngsters cut loose the brand of football that they displayed yesterday. Starting cautiously, slowly 'testing strength of North the Lincoln high opened up an' attack so dazzling, so bewildering 'and --so, powerful that the pride of western 'Nebraska bowed down in humble defeat with the overwhelming: score of 40 to 14 dangling over head.

Caley Starred in Game. The new Nebraska combination, by whiph Dr. planted Qaley arid i Coi)k at the halfbacks and Dobson and Otoupaiik at the two fullback posl- with Rhodes playing in the line, I worked out superbly. Caley's manipu- I lation of the Nebraska attack was a brilliant exhibition of generalship and the Huskers ran the ends, rammed the line and hurled forward passes with a clash and drive, which 'scon shat- i tered the hopes Hawkeye sup- porters. In the line, the Husker forwards bested their Hawkeye- opponents by a i margin-- so decisive to permit no comparison.

The weight was in Ne- I braska's favor and the Husker for- wards seldom tailed- to tear holes in the Iowa line. Both in block- ing and in running in the interference the Cornhuskers gave their most bril- liant exhibition of the year. In Iowa's Favor. The breeze favored Iowa the i opening period and Lavm's long spirals soon enabled the Hawkeyes to gain on every, exchange of punts and to work the pigskin into Nebraska territory. A forward pass, from Lann to Jenkins, netted Iowa twenty-seven yards and planted the ball on Ne- braska's nine-yard line.

Three smashes off tackle ended in Davis carrying the ball over the Nebraska, goal to a touchdown. Davis kicked goal. i The Cornhuskers then contributed three first Jowns, but the Hawkeyes blocked a. Nebraska punt and in a sub- i sequent exchange of 'kicks came into possession 'of the ball on Nebraska's forty-yard line. Efforts to run the ends or buck- the line were blocked by the charging Cornhusker forwards, after which Davis dropped back and booted a place kick, boosting: the Iowa total to ten points.

The first period ended with the Hawkeyes well in the lead and the -Iowa rooters settled back In their seats as if to enjoy a decisive victory in Iowa's windup battle of the campaign. At Height of Power. Cornhusker attack was at the heighth of its power during the period. The Huskers were sixty yards distant from their own goal when the blown for the start of the quarter, but Caley, Cook, Otoupaiik and Dobson took turns at smashing their down the rectangle. Two penalties were not' permitted to balk the Nebraska offense and the grand march 1 ended when Otoupaiik.

Not only did his starting: of forward passes-and his terrific, line plunging make him Invaluable, but his presence on the team created a remarkable effect. Though Coach Reese did not start the game with Griffin in the lineup, he soon sent hlin in and tfre team appeared as' a new fighting machine. Captain Harry Brian and Harold Webb also played brilliant football.

'Webb's cork screw runs through tho visiting- team was a potent in the North Platte Lamb at right, end was also a factor in the i Lincoln' scoring- machine. His ability I to receive forward passes puts him i in a very select class. The strength of the Lincoln line i was seldom called into, use. Red and Blacks took the aggressive for the most part. The two touchdowns made by the visitors were the results of fumbles and did not reflect upon the strength of the line.

Banjan, un exceptional end, Rydz- woakl, a burly linesman at center, and Phelan, tho little quarterback, nro tho other Notre Dame players in this year's lineup, -whose work In game last year Is still a vivid memory. Assistant Conch Dick Rutherford has seen tho Indiana eleven In action three times.

"We have a chance against Dame," said Rutherford, who haa been counted a pretty fair Judge -'of football. "If the boys go In with the right fighting spirit we will win. Notro Dame has a whale of team. I haven't seen any such a line In my experience. Four of the men top the scales at over 200, but Harper has not sacrificed speed and fight for weight.

Our line has.shown Its worth nnd I predict a battle royal between those two sets of forwards." Stowart Not Dismayed. Dr. Stewart is another Husker who refuses to be frightened over the hopelessness of the Notre Dame game, "I spent some time during the summer with the Notre Dame boys," said the head coach, "and I found all of 'hem are looking forward to the Nebraska game with more than ordinary Interest. They figure that what hap. pened here last year was an accident and they promised to see there would be no accident again this season.

Nebraska expects to meet a dazzling array of open plays in the Dame game. The Hoosiers have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to use tho forward pass and Kansas made the Huskers look sick by using.

this play last Saturday. If baffled in the forward pass, then Notre Dame can rely upon Cofall and Bergman, two speed merchants, and Miller and Baekma.n, two line plungrers, to batter their way down the field. There will be a stiff jvorkout every night of the coming- week for tha Huskers, tapering' down to a light signal drill Wednesday.
