Nebraska Defeated Grinnell. Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 14.-Oniy a brilliant and rather unexpected rally saved the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday from the humiliation of being held to a low score in their gridiron conflict with Grinnell college. The final score stood 80 to 4, but the Nebraska eleven did not begin piling up the points until time was nearly called and Cornhusker rooters meanwhile had been shivering from the severest scare given them in wears by minor college.
