  CORNHUSKERS LEAD IN WEST Stiehm’s Men the Equal of Any Team in Western Country. IOWA STRONG IN CONFERENCE Hawkeyes, with Same Team which Bucked Nebraska ia Field, Could Have Defeated Both Chicago and Minnesota. While it was confidently expected by all ardent Nebraska rooters that the that the famous Cornhuskers catacylsm would upheave the Iowa Hawkeyes by an over whelming score. the final count of 16 TO Z. Nebraska last Saturday goes TO prove that the Huskers can for the second year hold up their end in asserting a claim to the western championship. OF course. il is admitted that the Huskers did not play Iowa as they did Kansas and the Michigan Aggies, but they played good enough foot ball to trim Iowa and Iowa ranks high in the Western conference. Nebraska, didn’t defeat the same Iowa Saturday that Chicago and Minnesota did earlier in the season. Both Chicago and Minnesota won to 0 victories but both were won from a weakened team The Hawkeyes in but two games, the Ames and Nebraska combats, presented their full strength. In other battles they were materially weakened by players alb sent on account OF injuries. Barron, that mountain of beef, who occupies left tackle for the Hawkeyes, played against neither Chicago nor Mime sofa. And it was Barron. who so ruth lessly upset the right side of the Ne braska line and played the way for long gains by the fast Hawkeye backfield. On the defense it was Barron, who broke through and stopped Nebraska rushes in the embryo. With Baron alone out of a game, the Hawkeyes would be weakened excessively and Barron was absent in both the Minnesota and Chicago games. Playing next to Barron in the guard position was a young avalanch named Wilson. Wilson was a bad actor Sat urday from the Nebraska viewpoint. And Wilson was out Of the Chicago game. The backfleld was just as much stronger as presented against Nebraska than against Minnesota and Chicago, as was the line Garretson, who made long and consistent gains against the Huskers, was out of both the Minnesota and Chi cago games. SO it can be seen by even a judge pre- JUDGED against the Nebraska that the heroes OF this state can hold their own with the best the Western conference affords. To add to this declaration is the belief of the Hawkeyes themselves, mem bers of the Western conference. It is unanimously felt at Iowa City that the Hawkeyes could have defeated both Chi cago and Minnesota. had they been able to present lineups of complete strength. That being the case Iowa would be tied with Illinois for the conference title. With the same team, which fell before Nebraska, the Hawkeyes declare they could have tied for the conference cham plonship. thus practical admission OF the superiority of Nebraska over conference championship team. Walter Eckersall. who refereed the game. is of the opinion that Nebraska is as strong as any team in the west. That is saying a good deal, for Eckie is a Western conference man. Eckie has seen Michigan. Notre Dame. Illinois. Chi cago and Nebraska in action, he has worked right behind those teams. officiating in games in which they played, and Eckie says Nebraska could hold it’s own with any of the four named. And so. even though a little disappointed because Nebraska did not win by a large score, Cornhusker enthusiasts for the second time claim western SUI periority for this state. Nebraska men dc not think either Illinois or Notre Dame could defeat Nebraska and they are Will ing TO back up their judgment. The special train on the Rock Island returned to Omaha and Lincoln Nlnday morning. Two Of the cars contained Omaha men and were dropped here. The Omaha gang is a bit peeved With Iowa City. Several disturbances occurred but the main objection to Iowa, accord ing TO the Omaha bunch. is the lack OF willingness of the Hawkeyes to support their team. A wad of coin went over from Omaha TO Iowa City in those two Omaha cars and tine delegation Of HuskeI
