  SOUTHERN METHODIST, NEBRASKA SCORELESS LINCOLN, Nebr., October S (P.- The major intersectional foot ball game in the Missouri Valley sector today ended in a scoreless tie when Nebraska Big Six, champions last year, and Southern Methodist University Of Dallas, battled sixty minutes with neither team able to gain the decision. There were thrilling plays. some tense moments, viscious tackles, daring tries for long passes which. had they been caught, would have meant victory, but for the most part the game was color less. Nebraska’s rushes-the favored and most successful play Of the Corn Huskers in past seasons-accounted for many yards between the two 20-yard lines, but failed utterly when near the last marker. The Texans failed to show q consistent offense throughout the entire game, but were equal to the occasion when Nebraska’s warriors were hammering at their goal.
