The Huskies Fail to Stop the Huskers
Nebraska 6, Washington 6
HE Purple Tornado which came from the Pacific coast with a threat to sweep Nebraska off her feet and carry away a decisive victory met stubborn resistance on the part of the Cornhuskers, who stilled the storm and held the Husky eleven to a 6 to 6 tie in the first home game of the season.
It was a great game, one of the most stubbornly fought and thrilling grid battles ever staged on a Nebraska gridiron. It was a game of thrilling forward passes, hard line plunges, and threatening runs that kept the spectators on their toes. A touchdown for each team was all that sixty minutes of gruelling (sic) football could bring out of the fray, Nebraska scoring in the final period of the game.
Locke, the Husker star speedster, made the most brilliant run of the game in the third quarter, when he caught a fifty-yard kick from Washington and ran it back forty-six yards, dodging one Husky tackler after another.
