  NEBRASKA DEFEATS IOWA. The Cornhuskers’ Goal Was Crossed But Once. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Iowa uni versity went down to defeat on the gridiron Saturday before the fierce rushes of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who fumbled execrably at times, but fairly swept the Hawkeyes off their feet by the irresistible attack which they presented. The final score stood II to 6. On the basis of comparative gains in advancing the ball, Iowa was badly outcIassed, Nebraska’s efforts netting $50 yards and Iowa’s 20. Darkness added to the confusion of the final moments of play and with less than a minute of time Stolen berg, Iowa’s right end, snatched the ball out of Bender’s arms after the latter had been downed. and ran so yards for a touchdown. Referee Out land however, had blown his whistle before Stollenberg had effected his trick and the ball was called back and the score diSallOWed.
