ORNHUSKER
stock took a boost in the Home-coming game,
October 24, when a somewhat battered eleven won
Nebraska's twenty-first victory over the Kansas
University Jayhawks. Held scoreless for the
first two quarters by the heavy Kansas team
fighting a desperate defensive battle, the
Huskers finally found themselves in the second
half and scored two touchdowns.
Nebraska
outplayed Kansas from the start, gaining 186
yards from scrimmage against 18 for the
jayhawkers. Fumbles by the Nebraska backs kept
down the score in this period. The Huskers
amassed a total of eighteen first downs during
the game, against two for Kansas.
"Choppy"
Rhodes broke the spell that had turned back the
Huskers and carried the ball down the field for
repeated gains, going over for Nebraska's first
tally in the third quarter. Brown, in an
electrifying 53-yard run planted the oval behind
the chalk mark for the second touchdown.
The work of
Lonnie Stiner at tackle won favorable comment in
the Kansas game.
