"Choppy" Rhodes twirling the second game of the series for Nebraska was easily the star of the game, striking out three pinch hitters in a row in the ninth, and hitting out a home run, a three-bagger and two singles in five times at bat, The Nebraska batsmen found the Aggie pitchers for fifteen hits, while the Aggies touched Rhodes for seven safe bingles

      The Scarlet and Cream pastimers lost the first home game of the season to Ames in a fifteen-inning battle, 5 to 3. Rhodes was on the mound for Nebraska and pitched perfect ball, striking out twenty men and allowing only four hits. Errors by Andresen in the fifteenth spelled defeat for Nebraska. The second game of the series was a brilliant pitchers' battle with Wright opposing Lang on the mound. Lang allowed the Ames crew but three hits while his team mates found Wright for five and the Huskers won 1 to 0. Coming from behind in the seventh inning the Oklahoma team found Rhodes for five hits in a game played at the College of Agriculture campus, and scored three runs after the Huskers had led them 3 to 1, and Rhodes had turned their batsmen away hitless for seven innings. A heavy field hindered both teams, and further rain during the night forced the cancellation of the second game of the series.

      With six errors behind him Lang lost his first Valley game out of nine starts, to the Kansas Aggies at Lincoln, 6 to 2. Hits were even, both teams swatting out six safe ones. The heavy stick work of Collins and Andresen featured the game for Nebraska. The second game of the series proved easy for the Huskers with Rhodes on the mound. The score was 6 to 1.

      The last two games of the season, with Ames, were both victories for Nebraska. Domeier pitched the first game for Nebraska, allowing the Ames stickers only five hits.
