Nebraska 0, Drake
14
HE
game with Drake University in the new Drake
stadium at Des Moines was played in a blinding
snow storm which made fumbles frequent and
prohibited either team from displaying its
football ability. The Drake Bulldogs, dedicating
their new Memorial stadium, stood ready to take
advantage of every break and seized the
opportunity afforded by many Nebraska fumbles to
win a 14 to 0 victory.
Nebraska
out-gained and out-yarded her opponents, making
nine first-downs to the Bulldog's two. In spite
of this fact the Drake team succeeded in keeping
the ball in Nebraska's territory most of the
time, scoring touchdowns in the first and fourth
quarters and turning a Nebraska fumble into a
safety for an added two points.
Fumbling the
icy ball time after time in the most critical
moments of the game spelled defeat for the
Huskers. A. Mandary played his usual game in the
backfield.
