Kansas Plays in Hard Luck—Loses
Bail 4 Times inside 5 Yard Line.
IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT GAME
Nebraska Entirely Outplayed—Kansas
Making Ten Times as Much Gain
as Nebraska up Until Last
Five Minutes of Play.
Quarterback Bender, Captain of the University of Nebraska team, beat K. U. today by making a 60 yard run for a touchdown, the only score made in the K. U.-Nebraska game.
K. U. outplayed the Cornhuskers in every department of the game, holding them for downs time after time, the Nebraskans making their distances only three times, counting Bender's run.
The game put up by K. U. was a surprise to everyone. The team work could not have been better and the work of every man merited a "K."
The game was the hardest ever seen on McCook Field and before the largest crowd ever on the field. It is estimated that over 3,000 people were there.
The 'Varsity team simply played the men from Nebraska off their feet. Their line was like a seive, the K. U. backs and tackles making gains of 5 to 10 yards on nearly every play and being forced to punt only a very few times. K.U carried the ball across the field from the first kick off to the Nebraska's 5 yard line, only to lose it there by a fumble. Nebraska punted back to center and K.U. worked it back again and again. This is the whole story. The University would carry the ball to Nebraska's 5 yard and 10 yard line and once to their 1 yard only to lose it on downs or fumbles.
Nebraska had a good kicker in Benedict and he was used nearly every 3rd down during the game. His kicks were high and long, averaging 35 yards and making it possible for the Nebraska ends to get down under them every time. Then K. U. would continue their march toward the goal, never stopping until close to the Cornhusker's goal where Benedict would again be called on to boot the ball toward the center. The game was in Nebraska's territory the whole time and but for Bender's phenomenal run would have been a tie.
Bender's touchdown occurred near the end of the second half. He took the ball on his own 50 yard line and by his speed and dodging, got safely past the whole Kansas back-field for a score. Nebraska kicked goal score 6 to 0. Bender was easily the star player on the Nebraska team, his tackle of Pooler on a fumble being one of the best ever seen here.
Bender's run and Pooler's recovery of a fumble were the only long runs made. Pooler got the ball on a fumble and rounded
Nebraska's right end for a 45 yard run being brought down by Bender's beautiful tackle.
The Kansas line can not be given too much credit. They held the Nebraska bucks at every trial and could be counted on to open holes in their opponents line every time they were called upon.
For Nebraska the stars were Bender and Benedict. For Kansas the star list is crowded. Hicks, Pooler and Donald probably playing the more spectacular game. Hicks and Pooler on end runs gained much ground and Donald made 4 or 5 yards every time he took the ball. Brumage, Rice, Fleischman and Allen were always good for gains.
Where Nebraska got her reputation is a mystery to K. U. If Bender had not been in the game with his tackling and dodging, the red and white of Nebraska certainly would have been trailed in the dust. It was a one man game on the side of Nebraska.
The crowd was well behaved and enthusiastic. No "discourteous" or "unsportsmanlike" remarks were heard on either side and the game was free from all wrangling or dirty playing.
Manager Plank is to be congratulated on the way he handled the crowds and managed the game.
Coach Weeks is to be congratulated for his superior coaching ability and the fine team work. Booth has trained his team for 3 years while this is Week's first.

KANSAS-NEBRASKA CONTROVERSY.
There has been too much newspaper discussion of the Kansas-Nebraska controversy over the foot ball game already, The WEEKLY will be content with simply giving an outline of the Kansas side of it, leaving out "discourteous" and "unsportsmanlike" remarks as much as possible.
The facts are these. The Athletic Board at Kansas had what they considered good evidence that Bender and Wilson of the Nebraska team had played base ball with the McCook, Neb., team which is a professional team, playing scheduled games in an organized league, having paid ball players on its roll. The Kansas Board notified the Nebraska management of this fact alone, not stating what such evidence was or how it came into their possession.
Nebraska replied, without even asking what evidence Kansas had, that the Nebraska Board had examined the two men and felt satisfied that they were not professionals and that the Nebraska team would not come to Lawrence unless the protests were withdrawn.
After much quibbling, telegrams, et cetera on both sides, the Kansas management informed the Nebraska Board that protests would be waived with regard to Bender and Wilson if these two men would make affidavit that they did not receive remuneration either directly or indirectly for playing base ball with the McCook team last summer.
In a reported interview with Dr. Condra of the Nebraska Board, reference was made to the "discourtesy" and "unsportsmanlike" conduct of the Kansas Board. Kansas has not meant to be discourteous and their ideas of sportsmanlike conduct are still about the same that they have been. They may be wrong but have not been convinced of it.
The $300 guarantee which Nebraska required to be sent immediately, has been deposited in a bank and will be given to the Nebraska manager after the game has been played. Kansas has trusted Nebraska several times for amounts nearly as large as this and the management feel that we should in turn be trusted.
The eligibility list of the Nebraska players has not yet arrived. According to the Chicago conference rules and the Nebraska-Kansas contract, it should have been in Lawrence ten days ago.
The Seniors will give a spread Friday night at the home of Miss Ora Griessa in the northwest part of town.
The Pi Phis have pledged Miss Bessie Bates of Topcka.
Gene Stacy was in town the early part of the week,

THURSDAY'S CHAPEL EXERCISES.
Thursday morning'schapel exercises were dignified by the presence of five members of the Mosely Commission recently sent to the States from England to investigate American educational institutions. The commission comprises twenty-five men selected from the Universities and Colleges of England, Wales and Scotland, and it has been investigating the eastern system of education in the New England states.
Rev. Mr. Jepson spoke for a few moments at the chapel exercises and also Mr. Hamilton, who was decidedly the most interesting talker of all. His talk was straight forward, clear and witty, and he was a favorite of all who heard him He spoke of the typical Cambridge student and his professor, of education in general in England and Wales and spoke well of American institutions that he has recently visited. Mr. Hamilton was especially impressed by the large attendance at chapel exercises,
The five members who visited the University Thursday morning left the Commission at Chicago and are now touring the West under the guidance of Mr. R. W. Atkinson of Boston. The other members of the party were: Mr. Cockburn, of Leeds; Rev. Mr. Jepson, of the London school board; Mr. Fletcher, of the Liverpool schools; Mr. Hamilton, of Cambridge, now a professor in the Cardiff (Wales) college; and Mr. Rathbone of the Liverpool school board.
