I mentioned the average weight of the Kansas ow 162 pounds per man.
The Cornhuskers had nineteen men on the squad who weighed better than 190 pounds.
The scarlet-clad Nebraska Corhhuskers had just returned from New York City where
they defeated Colgate 20 to O. Kansas had but one man on the squad who weighed
better than 190 pounds and that was Edwin Sandefur.

Nebraska football statistics rated Dale - 208, fullback; Hubka - 206,
substitute fullback; Swanson - all western end; Pucelik - great tackle; and our
own Governor, Andy ew Schoeppel — all two hundred pounder; plus fourtéen other two
hundred pounders too numerous to mention. Among our boys, all of who. played a>
phenomenal game, Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg, basketball coach of Northwestern Univer-

sity, was our regular quarterback. John Bunn,.of Stanford, was our other outstand-

ing quarterback. Frank Mandeville, of Lowe and Campbell Athletic. Goods Co., was
the man who caught the three forward passes for touchdown scores against the Corn-
huskers. Andrew "Andy" McDonald, coach at Southwestern Missouri State Teachers!
College at Springfield, Missouri, played a stellar end, as did Tad Reid, now a
major in the Armed Forces, and Harl Ivy and Arnie Bell. Gordon Saunders: Red Hart,
and George Hale were the centers. Warren Woody, Severt Higgins, and Wint Smith
were the guards. George Nettles and Ed Sandefur were the tackles. In the back-
field we had Lonborg, Mandeville, Harley Little, John Bunn, and Kenny Welch. Welch

- was a powerful diminutive fullback weighing exactly 133 lbs. Carl McAdams caught

a long forward pass that set up the last touchdown pass. Time has taken its toll..
George Hale, Severt Higgins, Arnie Bell, and Carl McAdams are deceased.

But, let us give a quick summary of. heat season in which Kansas tase
the lightest and one of the scrapiest teams in our history.

‘A. W. "Bill" Hargiss had just returned from the Oregon Agricultural Col-
lege and was attempting to build the Emporia Teachers' College into. a winning ag-
gregation. Dr. "Mal" Stevens, the old Yale sensation, was quarterback for Washburn
College. Drake University had Brindley, who was later proven to have played with
the Rock Island Professional Team prior to his entering Drake. Captain Brindley
drop kicked a field goal from the forty-two yard line early in the game for Drake's
3-O lead. Later in the game, a pass from Lonborg to Mandeville resulted in a
touchdown for Kansas. Charlie Bachman, the present Michigan State Coach had just
come from Northwestern University to Kansas State. This was his first year at the
Aggies. Arnold "Arnie" Bell, the right end for Kansas, swooped.up an Aggie fumble
and ran sixty-five yards for the first touchdown. A forward pass from Lonborg to
Mandeville resulted in the second touchdown. The goal was kicked after both touch-
downs. i
The Kansas team as yet had not been scored upon except by a field goal,
but Bennie Owens' Oklahoma Sooners, which proved to be the champion team of the
