Henry Drills Squad Hard for Husker Game
Jayhawkers Out To Break Ancient Jinx; Huskers Boast Powerful Backs
With the secret practice sign out for the third straight week, Jayhawker regulars, their spirit undimmed by the 27-6 manhandling suffered at the hands of Kansas State's Wildeats last week, are working overtime in preparation for their important Big Six football fray with Nebraska's Cornhuskins in Lincoln Saturday. It will be the forty-fifth meeting of the two schools.
Tuesday night the first team, plus a few other heavy duty men went through a heavy scrimmage against the freshmen until after dark to test their defense. Last night the varsity was put through an hour and a half dummy and pass scrimmage against the "fresh." Punting, passing, and signal drill filled out the remainder of the practice menu.$^8$
Like many other Kansas teams, the Jayhawkers will be trying once again to break the 23-year-old jinx that has helped them from the win column against the Huskers.
Two years ago at Lincoln an inspired Kansas outfit led twice during the contest only to be tied in the final two minutes of play 13-13. Last year the Jayhawkers were sporting a 7-6 lead only to have the Huskers pull out a 16-7 win in the last five minutes. Even the great championship team of 1930 dropped a 16-0 verdict in Lawrence. Year after year, no matter what the relative strength of the clubs, the Nebraskans have never suffered worse than a tie since 1918.
Yet, this year the Jayhawkers will have a hoods of their own to hurl in the face of the Cornhuskers. That jinx is grazing Gwin Henry himself, whose Missouri teams of a decade ago gave Nebraska more headaches than any other team in the country. Henry's Tigers, who often seemed far inferior to the giant Huskers, swept victories in 26, 27, and 28 and grabbed a 7-7 tie in 29. These were the years when Nebraska humbled mighty Notre Dame and the vaunted four horsemen and Illinois with the famed "Red" Grange.
Sophs Grown Now
Last year Nebraska had its poorest team in years, a gang of sophomores who could do no better than four place in the Big Six. This year those sophomores are experienced and rugged juniors, who until last Saturday, had sailed through a tough schedule without a defeat.
Hence the Jayhawks will face their third stern test in as many consecutive Big Six week-ends. They will be trying to test off a certain Husker rebound which will be forthcoming after the rude 27-13 Nebraska losing (administered by) Paul Christian and his aerial cricets Tigers.
Keeping alive the tradition of fine Nebraska backfields, Major Lawrence "Biff" B Jones, has put together another bone-crusher this autumn. There are no Francis, Cardwells, or Sauces, but notwithstanding that his best class gridron destroying machine, Robríe a Star
In 200-pound tank-like Herman Rohrig, it has one of the best backs in the Midwest. A compact running demon who is capable of scoring from anywhere at any time. Vike Frankis, sophomore brother of Sam. Franks, junior and senior, of "Butch" Luther has shown plenty of ability at the other halfback and Roy Petesch is a high caller quarterback. Harold DeFurie, Harry "Hipity" Hopp and "Bus" Knight are others who are bound to throw in their share of trouble for the Crimson and Blue. The line is rated below Ok-46 as the State caliber; but is capable of its scouting band of ball toters loo
Kansas will enter the game armed with a stout defense, a dangerous passing attack from the respective arms of Ralph Miller, Eldred Cedwalader and Frank Bukay, and with a heavy armor that will "turn the trick in over 20 years."
The starting Jyahawker lineup will probably remain unchanged except at tackle. Practice indications are that the starting assignments may be drawn from the trio of Dan Rhule, Jonathan Kovalev and Monte Merkle. Henry has given out nothing definite as yet, however.
Only one Jayhawk, 200-pound Herb Hartman, sophomore guard, will not be available for duty. Hartman suffered a fractured knee cap two weeks ago and was at first thought to be out for the season. A later examination disclosed that Hartman may be able to see action against George Washington U. and Missouri, however.
The Jayhawkers will leave for Lincoln at 6:30 Saturday morning and will return late that night.

Extension classes in groundwork
invitation courses in Topeka and Kansas City are under way, according
to a report by the University extension division.
Begin Extension Classes In Groundwork Aviation
The Kansas City class, which consists of 25 non-college students, meets at the Kansas City Junior College. The Topeka class of 35 meets at Washburn. Both classes are taught by instructors who teach groundwork classes at the University.
Several girls are enrolled in each group.
New York U. Vokes Against War.
New York University students voted more than 3 to 1 to abstain from war even if France and England were on the verge of defeat.
The same majority held that violation of United States maritime rights was no cause for war, but that an attack on any nation in this hemisphere was ample provocation.
HOLDEN LINES By CLAVELLE HOLDEN, Kansan Sports Editor
Today we take a quick glance at the KU-NU scoreboard of the past. And it is a hasty glimpse because the husker giriron rivalry hasn't been too successful from our viewpoint and how! But here it is.
First game was played in 1892, the third year the University had a football team, with Kansas winning 12-0. With the exception of 1905 and '06 the two schools have played ever since And after the 12-0 licking in '92, the team of '93 goose-egged them again, 18-0. No fooling!
Totals—
And that is the picture—well almost. For the benefit of nobody in particular we will recall for those of you who are in the University for the first time, everyone else has heard it several times, that the Jayhawkers haven't triumphed over the Cornhuskers since way back in 1916. "Ad" Lindsey was captain of that victorious eleven and most of us were small children, in fact very small.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The 1920 team, coached by "Bpoo",
Allen, tied the Huskers 20-20. That
was the only year Allen coached
football. For 17 straight years Nes-
toria won the playoffs. The Jayhawks up-
the Jachyawkers out the dope
bucket by battling the Lincoln team
"Squat" McCall
to a 13-12 tie. The last sentence is a bit misleading: in that game, played at Lincoln, Nebraska tied Kansas, and had to come from behind in the last four minutes of play to do it.
Last year was a typical KU-NU
game, Kansas played good ball but lost. Jack Dodd, Fleet nebraska back, received the ball on a reverse play, after Robrigh had caught a Kansas punt, and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was missed. Late in the fourth quarter Kansas scored. Chester Gibbens was hustled into the game to drop kick for the extra point. He made it and Kansas fans went wild. It looked like the day of Nebraska's downfall was here. But alas, it wasn't. With three minutes to play a Kansas punt, the Nebraska and Nebraska recovered. A long pass, several line plays, a field goal, and Nebraska led 9-7. The Jahayhars received the kickoff and resorted to a desperate passing attack. A Nebraskah lineman intercepted a feeble toss and run it back for a touchdown. The game ended Nebraska 16—Kansas 7.
And while we're digging up the past, we must mention the game of 1953. It was played at Lincoln. Fans were hardly in their seats before the Jayhawkers were in the lead 7-0. Kansas kicked off, with Douglas booster it with terrific force, and the ball rolled into the end zone. Cardwell, who decided it was going to roll out of the end zone. But Rutherford B. Hayes, Kansas end, had different ideas and he recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. "Squat" McCall was pulled out of his guard position to kick the extra point and the Jayhawkers led 7-0. The Huskies, with a tight tack, pushed over two tullies and led at the half-way mark 12-7.
Thrill number two for Kansas fans came a few minutes after the third quarter had started. On a Nebraska running play LaNouce torsal a lateral intended for Cardwell, but just as he released the ball Cardwell turned and did not see the pass. An alert Kansas lineman recovered. After a few line plays the ball was given to Hayes on an end-around play and he scored standing up. And Kansas leagit again. He made another back-scoring attempt and scored his six-pointer to best the Jayhawkers three-touchdown to two. One Nebraska paper said "Cardwell and Kansas almost defends the Huskers," as both Jayhawker scores were the result of misplays by Cardwell.
After watching those two games, we just about believe that the Gods
"I know all about it . .
"As a business man, I keep mighty close watch on the habits and thoughts of my customers. And I've discovered something most of the students on the Hill read the Daily Kansan and patronize the advertisers in it. That's why I read and advertise in the Kansan! I can discuss the same problems with my customers and I can sell them much easier. It's an effective system!"
