KANSAS PLAYED SUPERBLY AGAINST HEAVY HUSKERS
No Glory in 14 to 3 Victory By Stiehms Team—K. U. Outplayed and Outgeneraled Much Touted, Nebraskans
By Wayne Wingart.
Putting up one of the greatest exhibitions of football ever played by a Jayhawk football team Kansas took all the glory away from Nebraska's 14 to 3 victory last Saturday. The game played by Kansas was wonderful from every standpoint. The men outplayed, outgamed and out-generaled their heavy opponents, who have been touted in the Missouri Valley as a better team than Kansas. The Cornhuskers laughed when the Jayhawkers came on the field but before the game was half over they were praying for mercy.
Kansas should have had a 3 to 0 victory but the luck broke wrong, as it sometimes does and the Nebraskans get credit for a game which they did not earn, by far.
The Horseshoe Was Present.
NUMBER 46.
Stiehm and his team certainly must live in a horseshoe shaped house and wear four-leaf clover necklaces. With the game won by Weidline's perfect field goal and the ball in Nebraska's territory and but five minutes more of play remaining, Gordon got in the way of Coolidge as he was making a tackle of Frank, just as the Cornhusher Captain started on his long run. Coolidge hit Gordon but could not reach Frank and he raced to the goal giving his team six points and the game. Had Coolidge been able to make the tackle the battle would have resulted in a Jayhawker victory undoubtedly. The forward pass which enabled Howard to make the second long run of the game would not have been tried if Frank had not scored. In their desperation to score, Kansas opened up in an attempt to get away and the second Nebraska touchdown came as the result.
When the story of the two lucky runs which Frank and Howard made for their team is told, the play of Nebraska has been explained. There is no more that can be said of the work of the Cornhuskers. Their much touted ability at ground gaining wilted before the fierce charges of the Kansas forwards, and their Kansas backs. Early in the first quarter Swanson made 8 yards and Halligan 5 for first downs. This is all Nebraska made until Frank and Howard "pulled" their runs.
Kansas Played Wonderful.
Kansas Played Wonderful.
Time after time Bramwell, who played a thrillwild game at center, broke through the Cornhusher line and downed the man with the ball for a long run. He knocked back buckles and Grotf and Tudor; at the guard positions, spilled Halligan, Purdy and Frank almost every time they tried to gain through the line. All men in the line played brilliantly and "showed up" their heavier opponents.
At the end positions Kansas outshown Nebraska so far that it is hard to explain the difference. Captain Brownlee and Price were in every play and it was their superb tackling that stopped many an end run that looked to be good for a long gain. In getting down under punts the Jayhawker ends showed their speed and accurate tackling by stopping Potter, the Nebraska safety, in his tracks on every one of Wilson's long spirals. Three punts also were recovered in Kansas.
There was gloom among the Kansas rooters when on the kickoff Magill, the plucky little quarterback, was carried off the field unconscious. This feeling grew stronger as "Dutch" Martin was forced out of the game shortly after with a wrenched ankle. However, joy sprang up in in the rooters' hearts when "Bunny" Wilson went into the fray, the team together and directed an attack against Stielhm's warriors that gained 18 first downs for Kansas against three for Nebraska. Up to the last five minutes of play Kansas had gained almost twice the distance over her opponents. The two long runs, however, balanced this and both teams quit even on ground gained.
"Bunny" Wilson a Star.
Wilson did more than direct the team, though. He punted the ball. Yes! punted the ball and outkicked, with ease. Howard, the much beamed Husker booter. "Bunny's" kicks went long and high for a forty yard average and Potter was unable to return them because of the quick work of the ends. Wilson"
work as safety also was without criticism.
"Buster" Coolidge, who went in for Martin, worked hard and made many gains. "Buster's" stellar work, however, was in smashing up the Cornhusker plays. Stuewe and Detwiler, who were responsible for many of the Kansas gains, hit the Nebraska line fiercely and it was seldom that they did not gain ground. With one yard to gain for downs "Butch" and "Dutch" were always good for the distance.
The playing of Stuewere was in a class by itself. No other backfall in the valley could have played a better game than the Kansas charger. He was in every play and cedered all the gains. Ceder was his able assistant. Parker, who was in the game only for a short time, played well.
Jayhawker Spirit Demonstrated
The contest demonstrated what spirit will do. Every Kansan in Lincoln had plenty of Jayhawker spirit Saturday and it rushed forth in surprising quantities against the unsuspecting Cornhuskers. The team put up a wonderful fight but the rooters and the Kansas band stood by the team from start to finish and at the end of the game had by a wide margin than the Nebraska roots artists. The Kansas rootsing was clean and sportsmanlike. Nebraska roots sometimes forgot that they were yelling for their team and gave the officials some yells, which of course were very nice in a way.
The game was remarkable from every standpoint and it cannot be explained in cold writing. If you want to know what kind of a team is representing Kansas today just ask a student who witnessed the game. He will say: "We have the game bunch of football men in the country and they will beat Missouri next Saturday or die in the attempt.
Details of the Game.
At three o'clock Pearson kicked off to Stueve on the Kansas 5 yard line. "Butch" carried the ball to the 25 yard line. The Kansas team lined up for play but there was no ground advantage. Coh Frank of the old of the field worked over him for a time but were unable to bring him to consciousness. He could not call a signal. Wilson was put in charge of the team.
After two plays, in which Martin and Detwiler gained but two yards, Martin punted 25 yards to Potter on Nebraska's 45 yard line. The Cornhuskers were penalized 15 yards for holding. Howard punted 30 yards to Martin who returned 5 yards. In this play Martin received an injury to his ankle and was taken out. Coolidge replaced him.
Wilson punted 35 yards to midfield and Nebraska made her first down by line smashes. Swanson went 8 yards and Halligan 5. But the Cornhusker backs could not continue their work and the Jayhwakers held for downs. Wilson punted to midfield. Potter tried a faked forward pass and was downed behind his own line for a 4 yard loss. On the next play Potter made 5 yards. Howard punted 35 yards to Wilson who returned 5 yards. Stuewe made 4 yards through the line. Wilson punted 40 yards to Potter. Kansas penalized 5 yards. Halligan and Frank were stopped and Howard was forced to punt again. He kicked 30 yards to Wilson who returned 5 yards.
Coolidge, Detwiler and Stuewe made first down for Kansas. On the next play Stueve tore off 6 through (Continued on page 4.)

PRESIDENT SANDERS
URGES MISSION WORK
In Lecture Before Y.M.C.A Tells of Future of This Great Course
"No thoughtful man can neglect the study of missions," declared President Frank K. Sanders of Washburn College in his address to the University Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon in Myer's Hall. President Sanders was born in India where his parents were missionaries. After graduating from the Yae Divinity School he spent four years in India, thus securing first hand knowledge of the work being done.
"Several events point out the fact that we are now on the threshold of a great future in missionary work," continued Dr. Sanders. "The first of these is the Edinburgh conference held a year ago. Sixteen hundred members attended it to only the work of missions. Out of this conference was created a Continuum Committee with all its beneficial results.
"the formation of a United Church in India, in China, and in Japan, will finally draw all Christian people of those countries to the church and will bring about a simpler Christianity."
"The growing belief in scientific preparation for missionary work is a great step forward. For a missionary to make himself valuable he must be able to ajust himself to the conditions which he encounters. To do this preparation is necessary. Missionaries do not go out among barbarians but among intellectual people who are able to enter into the most abstruse thinking and who have definite ideas of their own. For these reasons a weak man has no place in the mission fields."

TO HAVE NINE WEEKS OF SUMMER SCHOOL
Faculty Decides Against Proposed Lengthening of Hot Weather Session
That the Summer Session of the University should be of the same length and general character as in previous years was decided Friday evening at the meeting of the Summer Session faculty. A plan for a twelve-week course in Summer School was not seriously considered.
The Summer Session of the University of Kansas in former years has been what is called a nine weeks' session, although the majority of the classes run for six weeks. Some of the classes are conducted for the full nine weeks, offering a sort of supplemental course. This is the arrangement which will be followed for the 1913 Summer Session. The faculty for the next Summer School will consist of ten students Prof. A. T. Walker, Director of Summer Session, this morning. "Last year the faculty numbered fifty-nine and this next year the number will probably be about sixty-five. The personnel of the faculty is not determined yet and I am still endeavoring to find out those of the professors who desire remain."

KANSAS WILL ENTERTAIN
PRESIDENT-ELECT WILSON
President-elect Woodrow Wilson is coming to Kansas this month. He will be one of the principal speakers at the annual convention of the Social Center Association of America which will meet at the University of Kansas November 20-23.
Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt will deliver addresses at the meetings, and it was because of the fact that these speakers were too busy to respond one month from its original date in October.
The essential idea in the social center movement is to make the school house the meeting place of the community for unlimited public service. It also serves as a forum for the social, civic and recreational life of the neighborhood.
