BY GREGG McBRIDE. Football fight of the type that wins games was in evidence at Memorial stadium Saturday afternoon as the University of Nebraska opened its 1930 campaign with a 13-0 victory over the Texas Aggies. Balked by a series of unfortunate breaks and running against a veteran Texas line during a scoreless first half, the Comhuskers started clicking in the second half and drove across to two earned touchdowns and thus achieved the first victory of the season.
