[Gate City Leased Wire Service.1 LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 23.-Bad tack ling and poor handling of punts on Nebraska’s part saved Iowa from defeat today, the game ending in a tie, 6 to 6. Iowa scored on Hyland’s two drop kicks: Nebraska on Rathbones’ touch down and Franks goal. Owing to the failure of Nebraska tackles to make good until the second half, the poor work of the quarterbacks, three men being used in the position, and the inability to handle punts, the game was all in Iowa’s favor except during ten minutes when Nebraska resorted to straight football in the final half The lineup: Nebraska.
