  Nebraska Loses To Penn State In Hard Battle Huskers Go Down to Defeat, 200 Before Heavy Eastern ers-Both Teams on De- fensive in First Period. State College, Pa, Nov. 6.--Pennslyvania State defeated University OF Nebraska, 20 to 0, in a hard-fought game of foot ball here today. Penn State has a clean slate and went into the contest determined to defeat the westerners, who scored a decisive victory over Rutgers on election day. The two teams played strictly defensive game during the first pc riod and the quarter ended 0 to 0. In the second quarter, after considerable line smashing and aerial work, the Pensylvanians pushed across the visitors goal line. The half ended with score of Pennsylvania 7, Nebraska 0. With the beginning of the second half, the Huskers opened up in a desperate effort to even UP the score For time it appeared that forward passes, interspersed with open for nations and occasional line plunges would place the pigskin over the line for a touchdown for the visitors. Nebraska Fumbles. But after seven minutes of play with the ball on Pennsylvanias Is yard line and three downs to 60 Nebraska fumbled and the oval was carried to the center of the field by an opponent who recovered it. From then on, the local team held the ball the greater part of the time, Nebraska playing on the defensive and punting we’ll back into the Pennsylvanians’ territory when in possession of the ball. Two completed forward passes and a series of line plunges netted Penn sy1vanias’ second touchdown in the third quarter. Put Up Hard Battle. The fourth period opened with the westerners putting up the battle OF their lives to prevent further lead by Penn State and determination to even up the score if possible. But the Nebraskan line was unable to check the repeated lunges Of the Penn team which resorted almost entirely to close formation work. Nebraska opened up in futile at tempt to gain by forward passes, evidently figuring that it had every thing to win and nothing to lose, but was forced to punt repeatedly to keep from being held for downs. Fem made her third touchdown about the middle of the quarter, failing to kick goal. The period closed with the ball near the center of the field. Score 20 to 0 i’ll Penn sylvanias’ favor.
