  DOANE EASY FOR NEBRASKA COrnhusker Play Shows Improvement Over Peru Game. STILL INCLINED To BE SLOW Substitutes for Nebraska In second Half DO Better In some Respects Thar the Regulars in the First. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 3.-CSpecial Telegram)-Nebraska found Dosne to be easy this afternoon, and won the second game OF the season by a score of 43 to 0. The Cornhuskers played a strong game on the defense, but their offensive play was ragged. 1t was only at the opening of the game and at infrequent intervals during the contest that they displayed flashes of brilliant foot ball. Several fumbles and poor head-work kept down the score on the Nebraska side. The Dosne line was no problem for the C~ornhuskers and they made gains at their will, gut the Nebraska players chose to use the open game and resorted constantly to end runs and forward passes. The pass was worked several times in the second half for long gains, and Nebraska lost ground on it only twice during the game. The Doane ends could not stop the plays directed at their wings. and the C%ornhuskers made good gains repeatedly around them. The visitors put up a better defensive game than had been looked for, and during the second half were able to get through the Nebraska line. which was COM posed Of several substitutes, and break UP the Cornhuskers play. They, however, found the Nebraska line a stone wall when they were playing on the offense, and did not once make their distance through II. Nebraska’s main weakness was in the fire. quent fumbling and the failure to see open lngs where the players could have adj vanced with the ball for long gains. The same slowness in getting off-plays that was noticeable in the Peru game again characterized the play of the Cornhuskers, although 1t was not as marked as a week ago. A bunch of substitutes was in the Ne braska lineup in the second half and sue ceeded in making more points against the visitors than the regulars had done in the opening half. Substitutes show Up Well. The time of each half was 20 minutes. Doane found the defense of the substitutes was as strong as that of the regulars and tried to make gains through the line, but failed to make necessary distance at any time. Cooke was in the game for the C~ornhuskers in the second half and made some spectacular runs. One Of these was for fifty yeards, and another was for sixty yards, and resulted in a touchdown. This touchdown was not allowed by the referee, who held that the quarterback had not run five yards straight out from the place where he received the ball. Every time Cooke was given the bail to carry he made long gains. His work as quarterback in running the team was better than last season. Harte, playing at right tackle for the Cornhuskers in the second half, did some brilliant work that had not been expected Of him. He was given the ball to carry on several occasions and ran Gown the field, warding the tacklers until three or four man I.1 q, rr4 “a InII ~ hin % sNaA htu progress. Nebraska started out in the opening half with a speed that led the %rooters to expect a large score, but the fast playing was soon dropped and the game was carried on in a slow fashion. The first touchdown was made in one min ute and a half of play, but it took much longer to get the other points In the first half. , DOane Dangerous Once. The goal line Of the Cornhuskers was I in real DANCE once during the first half. ? Birkner. on Nebraska’s forty-yard line, tried a punt. which was blocked by Crit fiths Of Doane. The ball bounded back toward the Cornhusker goal and two Doane men after it with the Cornhusker players following them. Right Guard : Bronson secured the ball but fumbled it, and before he could get up to run the ten yards to the Nebraska goal Cooke was ! on him, saving Nebraska from being \ scored against. Kroger kicked six goals from touchdowns for Nebraska, making all he attempted. Captain Harvey won the toss and choose : to defend the east goal.
