LAYING their best game of the 1925 season, the Cornhusker eleven swept Coach Knute Rockne's much touted Irish eleven completely off its feet before a Thanksgiving Day crowd of 50,000 football fans. The victory served to balance the victories won by the two teams in eleven years of gridiron competition, snatched away Notre Dame's claim to a Western championship, and gave a fitting close to the grid careers of six Nebraska players.

     It was one of the greatest games ever seen on a Nebraska field, the Cornhuskers outplaying the Irish from the kickoff until the final pistol shot. "Choppy" Rhodes ran the ball over the chalk line for the first touchdown four minutes after the opening whistle. The Nebraska stands went into a frenzy which had barely subsided when A. Mandary snared a pretty pass from "Jug" Brown and ran thirty-two yards through the Irish team for a second touchdown.

      At this juncture Rockne inserted his entire first string into the lineup, but a charging, plunging Nebraska eleven was not to be denied. In the third quarter Captain Ed Weir's educated toe added three additional points to the Husker total with a pretty kick from placement.

      Every member of the Nebraska team played a great game against the Irish. The work of Ed Weir, Rhodes, and Hutchinson playing their last game for the Scarlet and Cream was of distinctly All-American calibre.
