MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
they came, they saw and they conquered. Stiehm's squad of twenty five came; they saw Olcott's offering; they saw the Valley pennant for the fifth consecutive time. It's true it cost them a little effort but it was not much effective resistance that Kansas could overcome. They were the strongest teams in the United States.
If the Huskers were overconfident they did not show it on the field. And they have a right to be overconfident. The last time in 1912 when the Minnesota Gophers won a game by a one point margin.
A. Game Worth Seeing
Although the game was one sided, the crowd thought it was well paid for its visit to McCook Field, for it had seen one of the best football machines in action that had ever invaded the Jayhawk territory. It had seen a strong team try to try to build soiled steel machine and in doing so put up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of such odds.
The crowd was large. Comin from all 4 points in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska ten thousand persons filled McCook. Special trains and regular trains brought throngs to Lawrence, while roads in each direction were alive with auto traffic all morning. By the end of a clock, this ever-increasing mass had surged to McCook Field and hundreds of cars were "turned out to pasture" on the golf links while their owners witnessed the big battle.
Alumni Welcomed
Homecoming celebrations were given to alumni; smokers and banquets were provided and, in fact, every student in the University took it upon himself to see that every visitor received a royal welcome. Open house was in operat at every student's house as well as at the fraternity houses. Fraternity parties and banquets caused the houses to be thronged with guests and the streets in front of the houses to be lined with autos.
A Team of Hard Players
It was a privilege to see the game. It would have been a greater privilege to see Kansas defeat such a machine as the Nebraska Stumler roller but that seems to be a draw because he played with a Rutherford and a Chamberlain and a Corey fighting on one team there is little the other team can do, especially when the other side has no such stars. Anyone of these men would be sufficient on an ordinary team but it would be combination something must happen.
Nebraska is not a one man or a three man team. She had eleven men playing football every minute of the game, and the upd did not subtract from the prowess of the Huskers. Cook, Gardiner, Shields, Abbott, and Reese shine when they play in the lineup must be mentioned when picking out the good players.
Kansas fought hard. The only play left for her was defensive since the Cornhuskers kept the ball most of the time. Captain James and Andy Grafto continued one man of them until they were unable to fight any longer. Both men were taken from the battle injured, probably for the rest of the season. Reber met the same fate while charging the ball, but he got to the he man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably kee him out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was renewed and Anderson was grounded Moser and the Husker line players he was replaced by Meyn.
Lindsey, playing quarter for Kansas proved to be the mainstay of his team. He was in the game the whole sixty minutes and fighting every one of them. He played in every place and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and little plunges occurred with little misses. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on her wrong foot when Nielsen picked up a rolling kickoff near the goal line and was downed on the Kansas one yard line for the first down of the game. This forced Lindsay to punt from behind his goal. The Cormuskhore attempted to block the ball but was caught off the Kansas gained five yards by the penalty route. Another punt was necessary, and under excitement Lindsey only punted to Caley on the thirty yard line.
Then Nebraska started in to show her wares. Three yards by Rutherford through the line, then two yards
around left tack's paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tack for first down. Chamberlain went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two yards to first down and five yards to go for a touchdown the Cornhuskers were unable to get through the Kansas stone wall and lost the ball on downs. Lindsey punted out of danger and in three downs one last time the Kansas men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
A 28-Yard Pass
Rober was downed behind the line and on the next play Lindsey punted to the Nebraska 35-yard line where Caley was downed in his tracks. Three plays through the Kansas line netted eleven yards and first down. Chamberain then got off on one of his famous end runs for thirty yards to the Kansas 25-yard line. Two plays then netted five yards but a fumble on the second was recovered by James and Lindsey punted to 40-yard line to Caley who was downed. An end run failed and a pass was blocked eight yards behind the line. Nebraska had 17 yards to go and only two downs to do it in but a forward pass counted 28 yards.
An end run then put them on the eight yard line. With four downs to make a touchdown Nebraska could only make six yards and lose the ball. Lindsey then saved his team by putting to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
Chamberlain Goes Over
**CHAMBERLAIN**
The team quarter opened with a twenty-yard pass to Chamberlain who shook off all tacklers until he crossed the Jayhawker goal. Moser kicked on. On the kick-off following this Gillespie kicked only ten yards into Mosser's reach. On his forward pass put the ball on Kansas 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Ho!t then made eleven yards for first downs. Lindsey and Gillespie lost four yards but Ho!t did not. On the fourth down Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard line to Cook who returned to the center of the field.
A March to The Goal
A nine yard and a two yard gain through the line added first down to the increasing list. Two end runs failed to gain then a thirty yard pass was tried by Cook. Lindsey caught and returned it ten yards. Gillies lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey puntered 38 yards to Cook who returned 18. An eight yard gain causedumble but a Husker recovered the oval and made on the next play. Five successive dumps put the ball on the Kansas 3 yard line for a fourth down. Gardiner then took it around right end for the touchdown and Moser kicked goal.
In the remaining few minutes of play in this quarter Cook won the crowd's appause by leaping into the air at breakneck speed to pull a long pass and atattack. But the Nebraska quarter was downed on the 88-yard line and the half ended as Nebraska made another first down.
Kansas Tries Passing
Early in the second half Kansas recovered a Husker fumble in midfield and started some passes. Lindsey to Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained eight yards. But Gardner got whooped when he touched the next one on the Nebraska 15-yard line. A punt rolled to Kansas 28 yard line and a chance to score was past. Exchange of punts and a few plays gave Chamberlain the ball on Kansas 45-yard line where he missed a touchdown. Nebraska's interference could not be touched. A try for goal failed.
Kansas recovered a fumbled punt on Nebraska's 30 yard line but lost the ball on downs. He could not stop one. One of these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhusker team. After a punt out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but it missed. It looked back returned it thirty-five yards.
Couldn't Stop Drive
Nebraska then rushed the ball on a series of plays straight down the field to a touchdown. Nothing could stop the chipping backfield headed by Rutherford. The next quarter started off with a few outs, but two few Rutherford had planted the ball behind the posts for the final touchdown.
Kansas showed good 'ight at the finish of the game and after see-sawing back and forth during the rest of the half. The battle was declared over after a 50-yard boot by Lindsey. The line-up and summary:

The Spirit of Calvary
In Belgium, where the iron heel grinds in the dusts of ruined homes, women and children shiver in the threadbare rags of yesteryear, and search for bits of fuel to make a little warmth. For Belgium, the country which knew the whole meaning of our "Spirit of 76," is dependent upon the charity of the world. And there is little charity in the world today outside the United States.
point.
This year the committee is going to send another ship and it has made even better arrangements for handling and distributing its offering. The Dollar Christmas Fund for destitute Belgians will provide food and shoes for one hundred thousand folks who had the courage to stand for the right, though it meant a living hell.
Perhaps there is not much here. But we shall see. Last year a committee of the most prominent Americans promoted a Christmas fund and sent a Christmas ship to Belgium bearing cheer and aid to the countless people whose souls were wrenched to the breaking point.
Registrar Geo. O. Foster is receiving contributions to the Dollar Christmas fund here on Mount Orread where the blood runs warm and young folks laugh, but where—it is very far to Belgium?

CO-OP STORE IN SIGHT
Book Exchange May Be Stepping-Stone To Selling At Little Over Cost
Over Cost
If the book exchange in Fraser Hall, which is to be installed during the second semester, proves to be a success, the establishment of a Cooperative Store will double follow, according to Neal Ireland, chairman of the committee on the Co-op Movement for the University of Kanaas.
When asked about the progress which was being made in this direction he said: "We expect to have a book exchange in Fraser by the second semester, to which we change may later be old or hard hand books. Used books are the only kind that will be handled and a 10 per cent commission will be charged. The store will be under student management and will be primarily for the benefit of all K.U. students. If this idea was well popped up we would start a regular store. We have not decided where it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."
Mr. Ireland is in favor of adopting
