  Nebraska Shows Return to Old Time Form, Playing Iowa Dizzy in Most Spectac- ular Game of the Season. HAWKEYES LEAD EARLY Scarlet and Cream Rooters Chilled by Iowa’s Rush in First Period, But Re- vice in Second. MACHINE FINALLY IN SHAPE Nebraska Makes Score After Score by Pass, Plunge aud Punt, and Wins. REAL CHAMPS OF VALLEY MACHINE FINALLY IN SHAPE REAL CHAMPS OF VALLEY tack that completely swept all before it, DOC” Stewards Cornhusker ma chine came back here this afternoon and soundly trounced the Hawkeyes “a to II. The Huskers easily out classed Iowa and shortly after thu second quarter started it was eviden that Stewards men would annex ; victory. Nebraska easily played its bes game of the year today. The back field, which had heretofore exhibited such a woeful lack of driving power and punch in the pinches, was almos irresistible. 1t ripped the Hawkeye defense asunder apparently whenever it pleased and the Iowa line crumblet like paper when the Husker forwards charged. Otoupalik the Boy. Before proceeding farther it must be mentioned that there was youth named Hugo Otoupalik in the Ne. braska backfeld. Hugo was easily the star of the conflict. He could almost have licked the Hawkeyes all by HIM self. Otoupalik it was who made four Of Nebraska’s five touchdowns and upon whom Galley called whenever yards had to be gained. The big fullback ripped the Iowa line to shreds when ever he plunged. He made gain after gain of from three to six yards. The Hawkeyes shifted their lineup to check him, but they utterly failed to stop his powerful plunges. Use Forward Pass. For the first time this year, the Huskers showed real forward pass ing attack, and it was, nine times out of ten, that Otoupalik was on the receiving end. The big Bohemian was as much OF a power on the defense as on the Of tense, and it was due great deal to his work that Nebraska was able to break up most of Iowa’s attempts to mark up gains by the aerial route. But Otoupalik was not the only star. He had plenty of competition from Galley, Riddell, Dobson, Shaw, Cam eron and all the rest of the eleven for that matter. Galley played wonder full game except for one slip, costly tumble that netted Iowa a touchdown. Riddell and Shaw. Riddell and Shaw, fighting shoulder to shoulder, made the right side of the Cornhusker line veritable stone wall, and hardly yard was gained through their positions, while time and again they hurled Hawkeye chargers back for loss. By receiving two long for ward passes Riddell made one of Ne braska’s touchdowns possible and Shaw increased his share of the hon ors by capturing fumbles two or three times. Dobson staged sensation by inter cepting a Hawkeye forward pass and running twenty yards for a touch down. The Hawkeyes got the jump on the Huskers in the opening quarter by scoring a touchdown shortly after the Inauguration of hostilities and followed this advantage up by scoring three more points on forty yard drop kick by Davis. Begin to Saw Wood. As Nebraska failed to show a thing, Cornhusker rooters were badly dis couraged. But the team wasn’t, and at the very start of the second quarter began the vicious attack which swept the HaWkeyes off their feet. When the second quarter opened Nebraska had the ball on its own forty one-yard line. Straightaway the Huskers started procession down the field, which netted the first touch down few moments after the period started. Otoupalik and Galley carried the ball the entire sixty yards. Galley injucted a twenty-hve-yard run i’ll the march and it was Otoupalik who plunged the last four yards for a touchdown. Never Again Headed. That was the start Before the quarter ended Nebraska had rolled up three touchdowns, giving it a lead which was never headed. Immediately after the kick off fol. lowing Nebraska’s first touchdown Davis fumbled the bali Shaw recov. cred the pigskin on Iowa’s 30-yard line, and second touchdown was marked up just as soon as Otoupalik and Galley could rush the ball the re. quired distance. Otoupalik made another courtyard plunge for the touhc down, this time Corey missed the goal, the first time but booted it successfully the second giving Nebraska an advantage of Il to 10, and from that time on the Corn. huskers maintained their lead. Score Piles Up. Three beautifully executed forward passes gave Nebraska her third touch down just as the second quarter closed. The first pass was for thirty, four yards from Galley to Riddell This was followed by second pass from Cock to Riddell for twelve yards, and Riddell carried the bal over the goal line, but the referee called the play back, and the Corn huskers had to do it over again.
