Jayhawk fumble, generally on a
play that would have been a first
down.

A BAD START.

A Nebraska player, representing
Polonius, then fakes a pass to King
Claudius and runs over the goal line |
for a touchdown. That puts Hamiet
behind at the very start, 6 to 0,)
and the world is out of joint from
then on.

Saturday’s presentation altered |
the plot a little at this point, sub-
Stituting a trick pass by Rohrig of
Nebraska to Dodd, Rohrig then run-
ning east without the ball, and Dodd
cutting westward with the ball, with
the Jayhawk team following Rohrig
while Dodd romped to the touch-
down. That the play fooled the Jay-
hawks is not to their discredit—it
fooled Ye Ed, too, and most of the

‘But the innovation was refreshing,
and showed that although it was
still “Hamlet,” somebody had been

the script.

A CHANGE IN SEQUENCE.

Everybody then settled back to see
what would happen next. In the old
silent film, this would be the place
where a Jayhawk back completed
a flat pass into the arms of a rang- j

'then run for another touchdown.

TWO ACTS WEAR ON.

| That’s the way things went|:
through the second and third «cts, |:
stopping only for a few minutes
when Nebraska’s center and one.of
Kansas’s tackle began throwing fists
at each other over some personal
matter not revealed in the advance
notices, and again at half time,
when the two university bands got
out and played to a scoreless tie.
But early in the fourth quarter
Kansas combined some _ inspired
ball-carrying with some very decep-

team. He is a very business-like
