KANSAS 8, NEBRASKA 6
JAYHAWKERS WON A DESPERATELY FOUGHT GAME TODAY.
Wallace Kicked Two Field Goals in Ten Minutes' Play=-No Score Was Made by Either Side in the Second Half.
The Jayhawker veterans proved their right to a place in the front rank of Western football teams by defeating Coach Foster's pupils by the score of 8 to 6. In the presence of nearly five thousand spectators the two teams fought one of the hardest battles ever seen in the west.
Kansas started out with a rush and scored twice before the middle of the first half. Wallace, the fleet half back from Ponca City, made an end of forty yards. With a rush the ball went down the field another 25 yards, and Wallace place kicked a field goal in about three minutes of play. In about ten minutes the ball was again carried down the field to good kicking distance and Wallace's right leg added another four points to the Jayhawker score. The Cornhuskers took a brace from this point, and got into action with their splendid back field, weighing nearly 15 pounds to the man more than the Jayhawkers back field. Before the end of the half they earned a touchdown and kicked goal making the score 8 to 6.
In the second half, neither side scored. Wallace failed at a try at field goal from the 45 yard line, and Nebraska missed a trial at drop kick and the half ended with the ball, in the middle of the field in Kansas' possession.
Brunner was a star and made repeated gains of 5 to 10 yards through the line. Wallace not only won fame at kicking but made repeated gains of 5 to 12 yards. Miller and White made good gains. Augney played a great game at quarter and worked the forward pass successfully. Nebraska was weak on the forward pass and in the punting. Their punts were 10 yards under Augney's average.
The game was even all through. Penalties were frequent owing to the nervous tension of the men, Kennedy's men were in fine condition, and played a magnificent game.
Officials: Referee, Kennedy; Umpire, Hammil; linesman, Williams; halves, 30 minutes.

TO MEET THE VICTORS
Students Turn Out at 7 O'clock in the Morning.
It is expected that several hundred students will turn out to receive the team when they arrive at 7:30 in the morning. Arrangements have been made to use Donnelley Bros.' big tally-ho drawn by the crowd to haul the boys from the station to the training quarters. The band will head the procession, and everybody, men and women, in the University should be out to march in line. The city authorities freely consented to the demonstration on condition that no unreasonable noise be made.
400 AT LINCOLN
UNIVERSITY BAND LEADS THE ROOTERS TODAY.
Nebraska Fraternities Entertain Visitors Tonight—Excursion Returns at 7:30 Tomorrow.
Fully four hundred students and town people headed by the University band, resplendent in their new uniforms, went to Lincoln this morning on the Union Pacific excursion. The enthusiastic rally yesterday morning bore fruit, and it was an enthusiastic crowd that left Lawrence this morning. Things began to stir in the student section of town about four o'clock and the drums of the band sounded the call until all the laggards were out.
The subscription list raised about fifty dollars to defray the expenses of the band, and the athletic association contributed the balance of the railroad fare. The excursion bearing the rooters and the Jayhawker team will leave Lincoln at 11 o'clock tonight and will reach Lawrence about 7:30 tomorrow morning.
The fraternities and sororities at Nebraska entertain their visiting "frat" brothers and sisters from here at various informal functions tonight. Large delegations from nearly every Greek letter society in the University are in Lincoln today, and the Nebraskans have made elaborate plans for their entertainment.
1910 Party.
The class of 1910 will give their first public party in F. A. A. Hall Friday evening November 23. A special program has been arranged and will be rendered by "Shanty's" orchestra. Tickets will be 75 cents, and can be had of the committee, or at the check stand after Monday.
