The Jayhawks were confident Saturday against Nebraska and played the best game of the season. For the first time this season the Jayhawks' gamble for first - down yardage on third down consistently paid off.
Almost at will the Kansas team pushed through the Cornhusker defense for first down after first down.
There were 15 third down situations for KU. Ten times they were able to advance the ball for either a first down or a score. Once they fumbled, and the other four were all advances, but short of first downs.
KU had six occasions when they were faced with fourth down situations and maneuvered two for touchdowns.

Only twice did the Huskers penetrate the KU defense for first downs on third down plays.
Not only did the linemen have complete control of their opponents, but the KU pass receivers made catching the ball look as easy as eating and sleeping.
"I think they were just tired of reading about themselves, and what a bunch of bums they were supposed to be. They apparently just decided to play like they can, and they did an excellent job," Mitchell said.
Another example which reflects the poise of the Hawk play Saturday was that they had only two penalties called against them.
They were called for two infractions, but neither resulted in a Nebraska threat.
Nebraska, on the other hand, was not penalized.
Kansas has come through the toughest schedule faced by a Hawk-ter team in many years in much better shape than they had hoped for
according to Mitchell. But there are two games remaining, and both opponents, Colorado and Missouri, have shown, week after week, the type of confidence and poise which has been only an occasional feature in the Kansas play.

A MODEST PROPOSAL
A movement is afoot—a shocking, startling movement—to solve the problem of overcrowded colleges by the simple expedient of refusing admission to women at coeducational schools!
It is argued by proponents of this plan that in today's world a college education is absolutely essential for a man, while for a woman it is merely a pleasant interlude between adolescence and housewifery. There is simply not room enough for both men and women in our overburdened colleges; therefore, in all fairness, women who have far less need of a degree than men, must yield their places.
Well sir, when I heard this drastic proposal, I was so shocked that I sat right down and lit a Marlboro. I always sit right down and light a Marlboro when I am shocked. I also always sit right down and light a Marlboro when I am not shocked. There is no time, no condition, no mood, no estate when it isn't a source of soul-deep gratification to settle back and have a full-flavored smoke—Marlboro, the filtered cigarette with the unfiltered taste—Marlboro, the jewel of cigarettes—Marlboro, the pinnacle of the tobaccoist's art—Marlboro, my comfort, haven, and snug harbor.
Well sir, I sat smoking my Marlboro and thinking over the shocking proposal to keep women out of coed schools, and hoping fervently that another solution can be found. If the calamitous day ever comes when women are banned from coed colleges, I will gnash my teeth and rend my garments and take to my bed without supper. Like any other Marlboro man, I love women. I love the sight and sound of them, the cut of their jibs, their beauty and grace, their cunning little spitecurls, their sleek dimples, their middy blouses, their aura and effluvium. Moreover, I freely admit that when it comes to brainpower, they can give the average man cards and spades and big casino too. It would be a shame, a disgrace and a catastrophe to keep these beautiful, intelligent creatures out of college.
However, it is always wise in time of fair weather to prepare for foul. What if the advocates of keeping women out of college begin, to gather strength? We who abhor this fiendish plan must be ready with a substitute . . . and it just so happens I have one—and a mighty ingenious little plan it is, if I say so myself.
Granted that classroom seats are in short supply, and granted that men need degrees more than women, it is still not necessary to bar women from college. Let them go to college but—here is the beauty part of my plan—don't let them go to class!
This solution, it seems to me, answers every requirement. It releases hundreds of thousands of classroom seats to needy males. At the same time, it does not deprive women of the rich and varied benefits of campus life. They can join sororities, shoot pool at the Union, build bonfires for Homecoming games, pour at the Dean's tea, plait daisies in their hair, organize drag races, sculpt in ice, hook rugs, walk their cheetahs, play Monopoly, find love in short, they can do anything except go to class.
Tell the truth, girls: Is that bad?
