  Nebraska Rallies Beat Missouri, 4O-34 LINCOLN, Nebr., Nov. 4.-NebraSka whipped Missouri, 40 to “a, in Homecoming Big Seven football game here today that had a capacity crowd historical as the Nebraskans came from behind three times. The touchdown that put Ne braska in front to stay was SEN sational-yet, in way, only typical of this game. Nebraska was trailing 26 to 81 as the fourth quarter started, with the ball on the Nebraska As. Fran. Maggie passed and Bobby Reynolds ran until Nebraska reached the 15-yard line. Maggie then drifted back and rif1ed the ball toward End Dick Regier over the goal line. Regier hit the tremendously hard-tllrown ball into the air with one hand, then turned and caught it as it came down. Reynolds place-kick then put Nebraska in the lead 80 to 27. There followed within two minutes the play that was to make victory certain for Ne braska. Nebraska held the ball on the Missouri 33. 1t was fourth down and a yard to go. The hand off was to Reynolds for a wide sweep. He started out around the Missouri, left side. He was trapped and chased back to his own 35. Then Reynolds saw daylight, turned on the speed, swept back toward the left the way he had started and zig-zaged down the field for his third touchdown.
