Huskers in K.C. Today on Way To Lawrence
Beaten in their first two starts against Big Ten teams, the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers hope for better success against Big Six foes. The Scarlet open their conference season against the Kansas Jayhawks at Lawrence Saturday.
But Nebraska teams, whether strong or weak, have enjoyed a long string of triumphs over the Mt. Oread school. In fact the last time a Kansas team won on Lawrence sod was back in 1896 while the last Jayhawk triumph in Lincoln was in 1916.
Even in 1930 when Bill Hargigs' Kansas won the Big Six title the Cornhuskers surprised with a 16 to 0 victory.
Husker Hopes Not Too Good
Nebraska's 1944 squad, however, failed to exhibit a scoring punch against either Minnesota or Indiana and the Huskers hopes for victory are none too bright.
Coach Lewandowski is pinning his hopes on a revamped backfield that will include Bill Betz at quarterback; Jack Selzer at left half; Doug Nelson at right half and Ken Hollins at backflow.
Traditional rivals for over a half century, the Cornhuskers for the first time in many years will be on the short end of the odds in the annual K.U. Homecoming.
The Nebraska line will be the same as started against Indiana. This group includes Bob Koenig and Lyle Colerick, ends; Lyle Kops and Fred Lorenz, tackles; Bernie Kasdan and Frank Hazard, guards; and Keith Doyle, center.
Hoosiers Cashed In
Kops, Hazard and Hollins are the only lettermen on the Husker squad and all three saw action in Nebraska's 7-6 win over the Jayhawkers in Lincoln last fall.
Nebraska's first string didn't fare so badly against Indiana last week, but its reserves were woefully weak and the Hoosiers were quick to cash in.
Betaz, who was injured early in the Minnesota game, is Nebraska's best threat although Jack Selzer has shown promise as an open field runner and Nelson contributed a 58-yard kickoff return against Bo McMillin's regulars.
The Nebraska squad will work out in Kansas City Friday afternoon. The team will headquarter at the Hotel Continental.
Nebraska will arrive in Lawrence Saturday morning and will return to Kansas City shortly after game time.
Coach Lewandowski indicated Wednesday that he would take a squad of at least 33 men to Lawrence.

For V-12's Only
By Earl Barney
Shortly after this paper goes to press, approximately 100 V-12's will begin their exodus from the K.U. campus. The holes left by these departing men will be very hard to fill in the months to come, it seems. Nine members of the 1944 Kansas football squad are among the departees, as are some of last year's starting basketball five. Other sports to lose talented participants include track, baseball, wrestling—well, all of them. We are in the hope that these boys continue to bolster student activities and athletic affairs as they have at K.U. during the past year, and that they find it to their advantage to return to the Hill in the days when the war is but a memory.
One of the hardest hit will be the intramural sport program. Most of the Greek entries in inter-house athletics during the past year have been bolstered by V-12 players, as have many of the other organized houses. Many teams entered in the intramural touch football tournament in which play will be resumed shortly after the winter semester starts, will be somewhat depleted. We know of two "eights" in particular that will lose most of their starters by the coming transfers in the V-12 unit.
Intramurals Hard Hit
Familiar Figures to Go
Three athletes that will be going away in a few days are very well known to campus fans. Don Barrington, big 200 pound fullback and first string center on the Crimson and Blue basketball five, has completed his college career at K.U., and will move on to midshipman's school next semester. Two year basketball letterman Harold "Sparky" McSpadden, captain of last year's five, is also one of those to be moved on. The speedy little guard, around whom Phog Allen built his Big Six entry last winter, has been a familiar figure on the Hill for some time, and will be missed wherever a gym suit is familiar attire.
Bob Lillibridge, K.U. track specialist, is also among those leaving. Bob was a part of the K.U. track
To these men and to the many other V-12's who won't be on the campus after Nov. 1, we extend our heartiest thanks for the fine cooperation you have shown in taking part in the intramural and varsity sports programs during your stay at K.U., and we hope you may find the going as pleasant wherever you may be sent.
team last spring which finished second in Big Six competition after winning a number of dual and triangular meets. He specialized in the 100-yard dash, the low hurdles, and the broad jump. At the Big Six meet mentioned above, Lillibridge took a second in the 100 and placed fourth in the broad jump.
—BEAT NEBRASKA—
A hard-hitting Crimson and Blue eleven will be out on the field in Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon fighting to beat a never-say-die Cornhusker team from Lincoln. Will you be out there too, supporting your school football team? Tomorrow, more than ever before, a K.U. team needs support. Are we going to beat Nebraska, or aren't wel.
