A TWELVE
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1950

Until a few years ago there was never much doubt who would win the K.U.-Nebraska football game. Pick the Cornhuskers and 80 per cent of the time you were right. It was disgusting—autumn would come, the leaves would fall, and so would Kansas.
However things have changed the past few years. If Kansas wins Saturday, a graduating class will have gone through school without its team losing to Nebraska. Before last year, the Jayhawkers had never bested Nebraska more than twice in a row—and that had occurred only on three occasions.
The first Jayhawker victory in their present three-game streak was gained by the 1947 Orange bowl squad. The underdog Nebraskans were reluctant to grant Kansas even this one victory—a pass from "Red" Hogan to Otto Schnellbacher with 42 seconds left won for K.U. The win was registered at Lincoln—an achievement in itself. It was the first Jayhawker success at the Nebraska capital in 31 years, and only the second K.U. victory over the Huskers in that length of time.
The powerful Cornhuskers didn't lose a game to Kansas for 27 years, from 1916 until a 20 to 0 mistake at Lawrence in 1944. The Kansas did manage ties in 1920, 1923, and 1937. In 16 of those 27 years, Kansas didn't score a touchdown.
Before Hogan connected with Schnellbacher on an eight-yard pass play, Kansas was beaten 7 to 6 in the 1947 game. The Jayhawkers had opened the scoring that homecoming afternoon at Lincoln on a 47-yard pass from Ray Evans to Schnellbacher. But the Huskers counted later on a 40 - yard, zig - zag, touchdown jaunt by a speedy, second-string
halfback. The extra point was added and it looked as if Don Fam-brough's extra point failure would be fatal to K.U. The winning touchdown capped a 62-yard Kansas ground drive.
Two years ago, the Jayhawkers again took to the air to defeat the Cornhuskers, 27 to 7. Dick Gilman tossed three scoring passes and fullback Forrest Griffith bucked over from short range for the Kansas touchdowns. The 27-point total was the highest run up on a Cornhusker team by Kansas since 1899. That year an undefeated and untied Jayhawk team downed Nebraska, 36 to 20.
Last year Kansas defeated Nebraska, 27 to 13. The Huskers and Jayhawkers battled to 7 to 7 first half tie, then Kansas broke loose in the second half with a sharp running attack and clutch offensive play. Kansas' first score was made by end Chuck O'Neal when he scooped up a punt that Orbon Tice had blocked and ran 47 yards.
The other K.U. touchdowns came on two trap-play runs by Bud French and a Jerry Bogue to Bill Schaake pass. In the last half, the Kansas line stopped five Husker drives inside the K.U. 15-yard line.
Overall the Cornhuskusers have won 40 games, Kansas 13, and three have been tied in the 56-year-old series. The most one-sided game in the series was the 1940 game, won by Nebraska, 53 to 2.

According to statistics, a Jayhawk's wings, it such a bird ever existed, would be too short to raise his body from the ground, but Statistics say the same about the bumblebee.

You will see many an old timer visiting, for the first time, the New, Modern building THEIR former bank now occupies.
They will find here, a group, busy as the bumblebee, still backing the team, still serving the Jayhawks in every modern banking method.
