OLLOWING their decisive victory at Illinois the Huskers hit the rails for Missouri where for the first time since 1899 they went down to defeat at the hands of the Tigers. The two teams were evenly matched but ragged playing at critical times and fatal fumbles by the Husker backs gave Missouri the balance of victory.

     Nebraska outplayed the Tigers in the first half, "Jug" Brown going over for a touchdown in the early moments of play. Missouri unleashed a powerful offensive in the third quarter which the Nebraska forwards were unable to stop, the Tigers scoring a touchdown and a goal from the field. The Huskers came back strong in the fourth quarter, marching down the field to what seemed certain victory, only to be turned back by the fatal fumble.

      Rhodes and Brown seemed to be the bright spots in the Cornhusker's offense, while Stiner, Weir, and Hutchinson were playing steady games in the line, although matched against some of the Valley's best players.
