Kansas Squad Has Hopes Of Victory
Jayhawk Followers Plan
Rallies Both Here and
At Lincoln To Precede
Husker Tilt
It has been twenty long years that Jayhawk teams and fans have talked of beating Nebraku, but since that 7 to 3 victory in 1916 the closest Kansai has come was a 20 to 20 win in 1920 and a 0 to 0 tie in 1923.
Some of the years Kansas has had apparently better teams, yet the Cornhuskers have managed to pull through. Such a situation has built up since last season as part of the 197 team. This is partially met on the Husker part by the desire to go through the season undefeated and thereby be eligible for the Rose Bowl invitation should other teams be able to win. Kansas is the natural thing.
The Kansas Jayhawkers will go into the "big" game of the season Saturday against Nebraska conceded 24 points, with an impressive win except that of the desire to win.
That means the Nebraska "will to win" is not backed up by years of frustration and disappointment, and it has one possible edge for Kansas.
Kansas "Wills To Win"
Encouragement for Jeywhaker fans came last night in the information from the student hospital that Fred Boselevac, starting task, was considerably improved. Stapleson sturdy and well-armed and if both he and Boselevac are able to start, it will add considerably to the Kansas chances.
All other members of the squand are in good shape with the possible exceptions of Dave Shirk, who is still suffering from the effects of the leg injury he received in the first game of the season, and Ferrel Anderson, who is still bothered by a side bruise. Anderson typified the spirit of the team, though, when questioned about his side. He firmly declared that though it was still quite sure, and ford it a prevenient step, playing as a good as he might otherwise, still he would forget all about how it felt when he gets into the game Saturday.
Drill on Pass Defense
Coach Ack Lindey has been drilling his men long on pass defense this week. It was through the air that Michigan State did their damage last week, and Lindsey wants to be able to find out what the other hand, the Jawhayves has been drilling on some passes calculated to catch the Huskers off guard. Divens, Replogle and Sullivan have been doing most of the passing aly backed up by Den Hartig, winning pass in the Oklahoma game.
On running plays the Kansas offense will depend mostly on the ball carrying abilities of Dick Amerine, elusive sophomore; Dougard, hard-hitting junior; John McKee, another hard-running back, and Max Replogle, shift senior halfback.
Word from Lincoln has it that the Huskers are in prime physical shape for the game. They are also said to be not a bit overconfident, realizing that the Kansans are going to give them a real battle.
Nebraska officials also reported that owing to the championship possibilities of the game plus the natl. conference, a crowd of over 30,000 is expected, providing the weather is at all favorable. A large delegation from Lawrence, including the University band, is scheduled to attend the cce

Shanghai, Nov. 4 (Thursday)—(UP) —Efforts of the powers led by Britain, the United States and France, to neutralize Shanghai as soon as the long Chinese-Japanese battle around this city ends, have failed completely, reliable Japanese sources told the United Press today.
Shanghai Neutrality Efforts Fail
Military reasons prohibit such neutralization, they said.

Along the Sideline By William Fitzgerald, c'39 Kansan Snorts Editor
We've had a few inquiries as to how our GUESSES for last week came out so here are the figures. Incidentally, figures don't lie, although some of our predictions didn't do so well, but they were correctly, missed 11, and tie on three.
Minnesota and Illinois both did us wrong by one lone point, while West-ern Reserve, which had won 28 games previously, lost the first game we had favored them. Western Reserve will be sending someone out here to wreak a little revenge, no doubt. The team has not lost to Rice were a few more games that helped to keep us from doing much bragging.
In sixth place are the perennial Big Six rulers, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Nebraska's high rating comes largely because of their victories over Indiana and Minnesota, both of whom outplayed the Huskies by wide margins in every department but airness and total points. Many experts have scoffed at Bill Jones' team as national leaders because of their ability to win but after all the Nebraskans have been playing that type of football. They've been cashing in on the breaks and their defense is almost invincible when the going gets tough. We're wondering just how far we Ne
California's Golden Bears continue to stay well out in front in the Associated Press nation-wide poll of newspaper experts, California, which meets some stern opposition in Washington Saturday, has 600 points as compared to the 503 votes cast for Alabama, in second place. Pittsburgh is third, Baylor fourth, and Fordham fifth.
A consolation is the way the real experts have been missing them. One well known sports writer picked North Carolina over Fordham, Indiana over Nebraska, and K-State over Oklahoma, games which we called right. Maybe things aren't so bad after all.
Our pet kit this week is Pitt over Notre Dame by a comfortable margin. The Irish are due for a let-down after the pitch they reached against Minnesota last week. And watch Indiana give Ohio State all they can take, with perhaps a little extra thrown in.
braska would drop out of the first if Kansas should happen to beat Kentucky, and could think. The K-State Collegeian will be quoting us as predicting a Big Ten victory.
SIX emniphythous by its conspicuous by its absence from the first time to the first time in four years an invincible Minnesota. The Gophers seem to lack that old drive that kept them on top for long although their man power apparently is about the same. From what we've heard about Minnesota this year it lacks a driving field general. (But don't we all.)
It's the "kick the coach in the face when he's down" time of year again. The legislator who so opposed Dana Bible's selection as football coach at Texas now sarcastically suggests that Bible's contract be extended for life so that he'll have to put out a winning football team. We imagine Bible will get a bit hotter, with his football team being called the leged team in his attempts to hurt Bible. Next they'll be suggesting that Bernie Bierman is getting too old to coach football at Minnesota any longer.
Marshell, Mo., Nov. 2—(UP)—The national corn husking championship, the rural fall event for which the Midwest's best pickers point their efforts, will be decided tomorrow when 20 entries from 10 states husk 40 acres of 75-husband big on the Webster farm near here.
The huskers, each a champion or runner-up in his own state, will work before a crowd expected to exceed 125,000.
The hunking will start at 12 noon when a bomb is discharged electrically from Hyde Park by President Roosevelt. The huskers will work on the fence and will be weighed and penalties imposed for corn missed and husks left on the corn. The good ears missed are collected and three times their weight is subtracted from the total wins the winner takes two or three hours.
Husking Champs Vie for Honors
The huskers, however, still work on the old basis they started with. TP's winner gets $10 and expenses. The next four split another $100 and the remainder are lucky if they get someone to pay their hotel bills.

Gleem Prenell, assistant Kansas coach, will no doubt be experiencing mixed emotions when the Jayhawk won at afternoon, but right now he says he would rather see Kansas beat Nebraska than any other school on the Jayhawk schedule. Prenell came to the University this fall after sixteen years of active competition on the Nebraska team, and these were spent at Lincoln, where he made a place for himself on the all-time all-star Nebraska eleven, and incidentally helped to beat the Jayhawkers three times in a row. In conclusion, competition was scored in the 14-0 victory over Kansas in 1925.
After three years of brilliant play as half-back on the DeWitt, Neesbaack high school team Prescailnn played for the Knicks in 1924. He broke into the starting line-up in the fourth game of his sophomore season, the one against Kansas, and stayed there until he graduated. Then he went to Ironton, Ohio to begin his career as a professional.
Four years later he was playing ball under "Potts," Clark, former KU. coach, who was then in charge of the Portsmouth team. Glenn went along to Detroit to help the Ports-roar larger city, and won additional re-named as a star for the Lions, who won the world's professional football

championship in 1935 and played the college all-Stars in the annual game at Chicago, the following August.
Calls Nagurski 'Best'
Chris Nagurski's best beat "Brooks" in a football player I ever saw," said Glenn, reminiscing for a moment about his professional days. The big fullback from Minnesota, who is now one of the world's heavyweight wrestling champions, hits plenty hard when he gets through the line to win by start putting the white lines under his clean, record to Pressley.
"Red" Graffe turned out to be a better defensive man than a bail carrier, during his last years as a "pro," Glen revealed. He was a fine tackler, a wizard on pass defense, and was frequently inserted by the Chicago Bears whenever their opponent's offense started to click.
