WECAN BEAT NEBRASKA!
WE HAVE THE MATERIAL
Chancellor Strong: "It is evident in my mind that the team is, in some ways, disorganized. It lacks unity and a spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit that makes a winning team is the spirit that makes the individual lose himself in the team. We have excellent material—a fine lot of fellows; and they know how to play football individually. So far as I can find out now, what the team needs is rigorous training and more unity in team playing. We ought to beat Nebraska."
Manager Plank: "If the boys continue their hard practice and get down to good team work, we will give Nebraska a hard run even if we don't beat her. We must have team work."
Doctor Naismith: "I think our prospects for winning from Nebraska are as good now as ever, if not better. Our boys have been playing good, straight foot ball from the beginning of the season. While they have entered the games expecting to win, their supreme end has not been to win—they have been playing foot ball—they wake up when they find the opposing team winning. The team lacks unity. The boys are waking up. They are doing fine practice work at present. Their defeats have done them good. Nebraska cannot win from us if the boys get together and keep up the practice work they are doing."
George O. Foster: "There is only one thing in the way of winning,
WE HAVE THE ABILITY
and this can be eliminated—a never-die spirit from the kick off. We have the material, the enthusiasm on the part of the faculty and students, we have the coaching, to make a winning team. The things our boys lack are the proper spirit, and team work. The one follows the other. If our boys have the right spirit, the team work will come naturally. We can beat Nebraska."
"Pete" Allen: "If we create the proper spirit and jump into the game from the word "go," we can win from Nebraska."
Prof. Van der Vries: "The greatest need of our team is less star playing and more team work—more unity. If we get this we will beat Nebraska."
Capt. Jenkinson, 01: "It's going to be a mighty hard game from beginning to end. If the boys get together, I can see no reason why we cannot beat Nebraska. We have the material and the ability. We'll surely give Nebraska a run for her money. It'll be a close game."
Prof. Raymond: "We must all get together-the team and the university. If we do this, I think we shall win."
Capt. Brummage; "I think our chances to win from Nebraska are just as good as at any time during the season. If our men continue to keep together as they have been the past week we will win without a doubt. We have been unfortunate this year in having to shift men about so much. This has greatly weakened the team. At present each man seems to be placed in his right position and team work is rapidly rounding into a state of perfection. Good hard work on our part, and the co-operation of the students and faculty will be absolutely necessary from now on."
WE LACK UNITY
"Boss" Weeks: 'If the boys will continue the team work they are now doing in practice, we shall make Nebraska hustle "
Prof. Higgins: "Our boys are capable of playing fine foot ball. We have the material. All the team needs is concerted action and I believe they will have it. We are going to give Nebraska a close rub."
Prof. Abbott; "We need team work. We need a machine both in offensive and defensive work. We will certainly do our best toward beating Nebraska."
Michaelson: "Judging from the quality of practice work the boys have been doing this week, I think our chances of winning from Nebraska are excellent. I consider the teams very evenly matched. We are going to give them a hard fight."
Al Hicks: "If the boys get into the game next Saturday as they have been doing in practice work, we will certainly show Nebraska up. They will not have a snap by any means. We have the stuff all right. What we need is spirit - the
WE NEED TEAM WORK
spirit that makes the boys play from the first sound of the whistle.
"Uncle Jimmy;" "From what I can learn about the work the team is now doing, I think Kansas has more than a fair show to win. The officials selected for the game this year are reliable, and I think we will win."
Charles Lovelace, Sporting Editor of the WEEKLY: "From the capital work the boys have been doing on the practice field this week, our boys will undoubtedly score on Nebraska. In the last two games the boys have played they have demonstrated that they can play when it is necessary. We have not been getting into the game soon enough - we do not show what we can do until the opposing team is winning. If the boys get down to work we shall give Nebraska a close rub."
Can we win from Nebraska? Well we can surely give them a fight. Did you see the game today? Did you notice any improvement in team work? Did you notice the spirit of the boys? Did you notice how the boys played after that bad decision? Did you notice the work of Hicks and Pooler and Brunmage and Rice and all the others? Keep up the work boys, and see what happens next Saturday.
WE MUST BEAT NEBRASKA!
K.U.17; Oklahoma 5
K. U. beat the Oklahoma University foot ball team on McCook Field this afternoon by the score of 17 to 5.
The game was one of the cleanest and best played games seen here this year,very little dirty playing by either side could be seen and the game was interesting and exciting from the first kickoff.
The strength of the Oklahoma team came as somewhat of a surprise to the majority of the spectators. Various conjectures as to the score had been made and in very few of them was Oklahoma expected to score. The game for the first fifteen minutes of play was very close, neither side having any advantage and both teams being forced to punt frequently. The strength of the lines was tried and both stood like stone walls, little ground being gained on them. The ground gaining plays for K. U. were off the tackles, Hucks, Donald and Rice carrying the ball for small gains which eventually resulted in the first touchdown for Kansas, Pooler kicked goal, making score 6 to 0.
The Oklahoma line was nearly invincible, but very short gains being made from line bucks, which made it necessary to run the backs ends and tackles on nearly every down.
Much improvement in the team work of the 'Varsity could be
noticed. Every time a man had the ball he had someone to help him and the team worked with a unity and spirit not seen here this year as yet. The coach has worked for this all season and the University has waited patiently. It is all we need to beat Nehraska and it surely looked good to see the men, get together today
Another improvement is the way Hicks keeps the team on the jump, giving signals before the scrimmage has become untangled and keeping them on their toes all the time.
The only disagreeable feature of the game was the way the crowd ran into the field and demonstrated their disapproval of the referee's decision concerning the touchdown made by Oklahoma. NoRules have ever been laid down governing such a case and no ground rules have ever been used here. It was a question of safety or a touchdown with the advantage in favor of a touchdown.
The Kansas team showed the effects of its hard training by finding it necessary to make but two changes in the line up. Peters for Rice at half and Woodford for Chappel at the other half,
Hicks' and Pooler's playing was probably the most spectacular of the day. Hicks' gains and Pooler's tackling were decided features toward the victory. The work of Brummage and Michaelson in down the field on punts was wasalunable it. It has been several years since K.U. had a center who tackled the back man on punts. Rice and Bruner also did fine work on both offense and defense.
PROFESSOR KELSEY'S LECTURE.
Professor Kelsey, Secretary of the American Institute of Archaeology, professor of Latin in the University of Michigan, and a very charming gentleman, was formally introduced by the Chancellor to the many members of the faculty, the large assembly of students of the University of Kansas, and their friends, in Frazer hall Friday evening. The subject of Professor Kelsey's lecture was "Recent Discoveries in Pompeii."
It is, of course, unnecessary to say this lecture was most scholarly. It was much more than scholarly. The tragedy of the destruction of the city of Pompeii was told by Professor Kelsey with the dramatic genius of the actor. The lecture was punctuated throughout by a graceful and happy humor, and was noticeably free from the slightest effect of pedrancy.
Profesor Kelsey employed some forty most excellent stereoptic pictures, and prefaced his lecture with a brief review of the history of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, a dramatic description of the destruction of the city of Pompeii, and a short history of the excavations up to the present time. He described the interesting method of excavation employed. His talks upon the recent treasures discovered, which include "the finest collection of silverware come down to us from antiquity," was most entertaining.
ertaining:
Professor Kelsey closed his lecture with a few remarks, upon the benefit to be derived from the study of archaeology; that we may learn and thereby profit by, the fine things of archaic peoples.
THE CARNEGIE PAINTINGS.
The Carnegie collection of oil paintings, which is to be on exhibition at the University this month is attracting a great deal of attention. The pictures are valued at over $75,000, and contain many of the finest oil paintings in the United States. The students of the University should appreciate what this exhibition means. Aside from being a most unusual collection of rare paintings, the University has gone to a large expense in bringing the pictures here.
TENNIS.
Arrangements are being made to bring the Nebraska tennis team here at the same time with the foot ball team. If the weather is favorable Mgr. Plank will telegraph them to come down in time to play Friday and Saturday morning before the foot ball game.
