Jayhawkers Try To Avoid Any Overconfidence
Even if Nebraska has been defeated 54 to 0 by Minnesota, 54 to 13 in Indiana, and 27 to 6 by Iowa State this season, it still makes no difference to the Kansas Jayhawks. They know of that old Nebraska jinx that has kept victory away from the Kansas door these past 27 years, realizing that overconfidence of any sort would be disastrous.
And really there isn't very much room for the Jayhawks to be over confident. Against a common foe, the Iowa State Cyclones. Nebraska gained 184 yards from scrimmage to 64 gained by Kansas and the Huskers rolled up eight first downs while Kansas was piling up only 3. Defensively, Kansas held the Cyclones to nine first downs. 87 yards gained passing, and 173 yards rushing. Nebraska limited the Iowans to eight first downs, 98 yards through the air, and 153 yards on the ground. Thus, except for actual points scored against them, which was two touchdowns less against Kansas. Nebraska seems to have an edge.
Jim Hansen, 200-pound line plumber, scored the Husker touchdown against Iowa State after taking a lateral and racing 30 yards through several Cyclone tacklers, going over untouched. Clark Beaver will do the passing for the Cornhuskers, with Kenneth Hollins sharing in the ball lugging.
Nebraska Has New Coach
The Nebraska coach, A. J. Lewandowski, took over as head grid mentor when Lt. (jg) Glenn Presnell left for the navy early this summer. Lewandowski also coaches the Nebraska basketball team. He lettered in football, basketball, and track at the Scarlet institution in 1927-29, returning to his Alma Mater in 1937.
Three To Play Last Game
Halfback Al Trant, quarterback Walt Wilkins, and tackle Norman Lock will be playing their last game for the Huskers as they have received hurry up calls to the armed forces. Thus, with these three still in the lineup, their injured players returned, and the squad in top condition, Nebraska will take the field Saturday probably at the greatest strength they will be all season.

IS SATURDAY ALRIGHT?—Adv.
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
It was "Beat Nebraska," "27 Long Years," and "Eat, Sleep, and Think Football." Not only was it plastered on the dressing room walls, but also was it in the general atmosphere last night. The Jayhawks without doubt are taking this Nebraska game more seriously than any contest so far and by Saturday they should be keener edged, both physically and mentally, than any other time this season.
Three Restricted
Lynn Williams, Dick Dreher, and Bill Mowery have been restricted by their commanding officer and won't play in the Nebraska game. Also, Coller, V-5 center from Michigan State, has quit football. This lost will be partly offset by the return of Dale Bush, who had been out with a shoulder injury, and LeRoy Robison, who missed last week's game because of a broken week.
Rough Serimage Last Night
The first eleven had no little difficulty in trying to break through the defense of the second team last night in a rugged offensive scrimmage. After not being able to go any where all evening, Coach Shenk finally put the ball on the 10 yard marker, saying that if the first team scored in four downs the second team would have to run around the
stadium, and-- Well, it was the first team that did the running as the four downs netted them a mere five yards.

Saturdays Game
Coach Shenk will announce today the squad (from 25 to 28) that will make the trip to Lincoln . . . Station WOW. Omaha, will broadcast Saturday's game.
