K.U. Outplays Nebraska Only To Lose 7-6
The jinx that has held the Jayhawkers in its grip since 1916 continued its domination Saturday when the University lost to Nebraska by the slimmest of margin7 to 6.
The smallest crowd ever to witness a Husker game in Lincoln, a mere 3.500 fans including a homecoming section, saw their scarlet-clad boys score on a 65-yard run back of a punt early in the game and casually watched them convert the extra point. This single point, however, grew bigger and bigger as the game progressed, for the steady downpour made playing conditions extremely difficult and with frequent fumbles neither team could in the last half find its way to the other end of the slippery, rain-soaked gridiron.
It was 155-pound Walt Wilkins, who is going to the army this week, who paved the way for the Husker victory by taking John Bergin's first quarter punt on his own 35, and streaking the entire distance of 65 yards to the Kansas' goal. Jim Hansen's extra point conversion proved to be the winning margin.
Scars in Second Quarter
Score in Second Quarter
The Jay hawks started their touchdown drive on the last play of the first quarter. Taking the ball after recovering a Husker fumble on their own 26-yard line, the Jayhawks began to roll with a triple lateral play with Bergin on the final end bringing the ball 22 yards to the 48. An off-side penalty against Nebraska and a pass good for 17 yards from Moffett to Dick brought the ball to the Nebraska 28. Bergin and Carson proceeded to rip off another first down in line smashes, but the K.U. offensive bogged down on the next series of plays and it came up fourth down with thirteen yards to go. Charley Moffett then faded back and uncorked an aerial to Bob Carson, who, behind excellent interference, found his way to the Nebraska six. After three cracks at the line netted only four yards, Moffett again took the ball on fourth down, and diving toward tackle barely gave Kansas her only touchdown of the afternoon.
Drop Kick Fails of Protection
Bill Chestnut, drop kicker from Beloit who has been bothered by a bad shoulder all season, came in to try to make good the extra point. Entering his first college game, Chestnut was not given half a chance as the entire middle of the Husker line rushed in to block the try.
This was the deciding factor of the game as frequent fumbles and pass interceptions cut short any threat made by either team in the final two periods.
Kansas was again on top when it
From the Sidelines By Bob Rock Kansan Sports Editor
With both K. U. and Kansas State again having losing teams this fall Saturday's game here will again be the season's biggest treat for when these two state rivals clash, season's records are forbidden and both teams seem to play inspired ball for victory over the other is considered a successful grid year in itself. When the Wildcats and Jayhawks tie into each other, fur and feathers are bound to fly.

came to first downs as they netted 11 to Nebraska's 8. On the ground the Huskers were the superior as they gained 191 yards to Kansas' 125. On passes, however, Kansas completed five for 87 yards to Nebraska's three complements for 48 yards.

British mosquito bombers attacked important targets in the Ruhr and the Rineland following pulverizing assaults by American Flying Fortresses and Liberators on the province of Styria in southern Austria, site of huge industrial plants.
The Russian offensive meanwhile moved forward with unbroken success. Germany reported street fighting already under way in Krivoirog. Other Soviet forces slashed westward from Mitelopol.
The Southwest Pacific reported destruction of a Japanese aircraft carrier by a single American Liberator bomber. The ship suffered three direct hits by heavy caliber bombs off Bougainville Island in the Solomons. Allied bombers plattered the Japanese base at Wewak, destroying 28 planes on the ground and sinking a number of ships in the harbor.
Nebraska Game Sidelights
C. E. McBride, Kansas City Star Sports Editor, who was watching the Jayhawks in action for the first time this year, commented, "Second guessing would have given the Kansans victory on a dry field as the Jayhawkers seemed to possess a more consistent running attack" . . . Saturday was the first time since 1930 that Kansas took the field as pre-game favorite. . . Faulkner and Gruden both made important fumble recoveries for the Jayhawks in the final half. . . Faulkner's recovery annuled a Nebraska drive that carried to the Kansas 17, and Gruden cut short another Husker threat when he recovered on the Kansas' 34. . . Kansas made one desperate drive in the final minutes when they moved from their own 30 to the Nebraska 25. . . The Jayhawk's chances for victory came an end, however, when a Husker intercepted Moffett's pass on his own 15 with less than a minute remaining. The Huskers proceeded to freeze the ball until the final gun sounded.
McMorris Commends Test Conductors
Capt, Archie Morris and Lt. Harold W. Wilson, Jr. have been commended by Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris for the efficiency in which the war department achievement tests were conducted on Oct. 18, 19, and 20. As test technician, Lt. Wilson conducted the preparation for the examinations in six subjects for 700 trainees, and the tabulation of results. Many hours of overtime work were involved in this task.

"Our favorite food in Connecticut is seafood," they asserted almost as one. "And we can get real spaghetti there."
"We aren't homesick, but we would surely like to meet some trainees who are from Connecticut," they confessed. "It would seem so good to talk to someone who knows our state. Of course, home is the best state of all, but Kansas is second," they conceded.

You pick up the phone, and a voice says, "K.U." Have you ever wondered where the voice came from? The University has its own telephone exchange to handle all calls on the campus and between the town and campus. The exchange is two switchboards in a small room in the buildings and Grounds office.
Five people keep it running on a 24 hour a day schedule. Mary Neusfitter and Geraldine Houk operate the switchboards from 8 am, until 5 p.m. Elbert Gish comes on then to work until midnight when Dorothy Green takes over. On Sunday Janice Allen is the operator.

The exchange went on the 24 hour schedule Aug. 30 of this year. Although there is little business during the night it is necessary for fire protection service, according to Mary Neustifter, who has been on the switchboard since 1929. The first K.U. telephone exchange was installed in 1907 in the basement of Fraser. Now there are two others besides the main one. The Navy has one in the U.S.S. Frank Strong. A small switchboard is in the office of Watkins hospital.
The parade will form at Sixth and Massachusetts and proceed to Thirteenth and Massachusetts.
Football games and other special activities make the switchboard hum, but there is no one day when work is heaviest. Since the arrival of the Army and Navy many new phones have been installed. A shortage of pay telephone booths has been created by the service men. Some booths have been taken from the hospital and the auditorium to be put in Lindley hall.

To increase public interest in Navy Day Wednesday, three downtown stores—Ober's Bell's, and the Outlook—will have window displays honoring Navy Day and Theodore Roosevelt, sea-minded President whose birthday is celebrated as a part of the Navy Day observance. One window of Bell's will feature a model of a German submarine made by Dick Stutz, freshman engineer from Topeka. The Lawrence schools will have soap-carved ship model exhibits in the Outlook window.
