Huskers Here for Homecoming
For the second straight week the Jayhawks will present an injury-ridden eleven against a Big Six conference foe, as Gwinn Henry's Kansas squad attempts to score its second conference victory of the year against the strong Nebraska Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

The Federal Loan Committee, which met this morning, granted loans from government funds to 18 men and 2 women, it was announced by Henry Werner, chairman of the committee.
The amount of these loans is not yet known. To date a total of $3,680 from government funds has been lent to 12 students, who are participating in the accelerated school program in accordance with the Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act.
Members of the committee serving under Mr. Werner are Doctor Gordon, medical school representative from the teaching staff in Kansas City; Prof. O. O. Stoland, secretary of the School of Medicine; Loren Eiseley, assistant professor of sociology, D. D. Haines, assistant professor of civil engineering; and F. E. Kester, professor of physics.

*Manhattan. They are Lewis Musick, red-headed sophomore from California, and Carl Hird, Lawrence boy who began the season as a regular tackle. Hird's vacated tackle post will once again be occupied by big Don Johnson, the former Topeka High star.
At the seemingly jinxed right half position Henry has named sophomore back Kenneth Adams as his probable choice. Adams has been seeing increased action in recent games, and has showed marked ability in pass defense and receiving.
The right halfback post has been a source of worry to Henry throughout the season. Gene Roberts, flashy runner from Kansas City, was originally scheduled to fill the post, but received a knee injury prior to the opening game. Joe Roberts, a reserve fullback, then moved up to the position, but was also injured.
