BY SHERMAN. MEMORIAL STADIUM. URBANA, Oct.

husker football soared today to the highest peaks of success. With thirty-five thousand spectators massed in the gray stands of gigantic stadium, an aggregation of sturdy sons humbled the proteges of Bob Zuppke, wizard mentor of the Illini. Twice did the Com- husker plant the pigskin spheroid back of the Illinois goal line, achieving a pair of brilliantly earned touchdowns. Quarterback magic toe accounted for the remainder of the scoring with two cleverly executed goal kicks and the Cornhuskers emerged triumphant, 14 to 0. By their scoring achievements of this afternoon, the names of Frank Dailey of Alliance and John Rhodes of Ansley will be written in a high niche in hall of football fame.

N. rcvcr.Mul of form was seen In the Notre Dame team thl.s afternoon, despite the 69 to 0 triumph over Lombard. Fumble.s and ijoor co-ordination in the back- flrld were common on the first half, but after Knute Roekne h.ad told tho how nice they were between halves, this trouble was corrected somewhat. Touchdowns were numerous and once a Notre Dame backfield man got pa.st the first defense, there was nothing to stop him from chalking up six points, which they did ten times, the remainder of the score represents extra points after the touchdowns. C'oach Rockne used sixty in the fray.

The Reti and Black moleskin warriors of Lincoln high school got away to a flying start on the 1925 football season Saturday afternoon by smothering Creighton Prep, 42 to 0.
