October 23: Nebraska 7 - Kansas 6. Kansas had high hopes of defeating
Nebraska for the first time since 1916 this year. Seven civilians, one V-5,
and three V-12 boys started for Kansas. Nebraska's touchdown came on a 60-
yard punt return after 7 minutes of play had elapsed. Kansas came back at
the start of the second quarter with a 70-yard touchdown drive featuring a
double lateral, Carson to Stucker to Moffett to Bergin, good for 35 yards.
On fourth down Kansas had ball on Nebraska's 16, but a screen pass, Moffett
to Carson, carried the ball to N.U.'s 6 from which Moffett carried the ball
across on fourth down. Chestnut, trying to drop kick extra point, had most
of Nebraska's team in on him before he could get kick away.

 

A steady downpour of rain fell all during the game. In last four
minutes Kansas stayed a drive from own 30 to Nebraska's 25 where a Nebraska
back intercepted a pass on his own five-yard line. Had the ball been 2 feet*
higher it might have been a touchdown for K.U.

It will be another year before Kansas will have another chance. The
Kansas boys played well and fought but had two lapses which cost the ball
game. Moffett, Bergin and Hird looked good for Kansas. Penny received a
knee injury which may keep him out of football the rest of the season.

FLASH!!! October 30: KANSAS 25 - KANSAS STATE 2.
Congratulations to Coaches Henry Shenk and Elmer Schaake, and Trainer
Dean Nesmith?!

Kansas took opening kick-off and Carson returned ball to the 50-yard --
almost got away for touchdown. With Joe Dickey, Bob George and Bob Carson
(all freshmen) carrying the ball, the Jayhawkers crossed into pay dirt on
ll plays, the touchdown coming on a screen pass to the left and Carson going
over for the score. Bill Chestnut drop-kicked extra point. K-State came
back with a strong passing attack, Batten, K-State passer, doing a fine job
in locating his receivers. However, Kansas line kept the Aggie running attack
bottled up all day and were able to stop the passes when the Aggies threatened,
Another Kansas touchdown came as a result of Aggie fumble on their own 16-yard
line and Carson plunged across for score. Chestnut's dropkick failed.

In the fourth period an entire new team went into the game for K.U.
Carried ball down to K-State's fifteen, where Charlie Moffett heaved one to
"Sandy" Banks, V-5 boy from California, who was standing wide open in the end
zone. The last touchdown came in the last minute of the game when Bob
George threw a pass to LeRoy Robison, freshman blocking back from Lawrence,
who scored his first touchdown of the season. K-State blocked two Kansas
punts, one of which resulted in a safety.

Miller (V-5) played a good game at right tackle, as did Agee (V-5) who
took Junius Penny's place at left tackle. Penny's knee injury received in
the Nebraska game should be suffieiently healed for him to play some against.
