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, the Valley pumkin 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 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 the Minnesota Gophers won 1912 when the Minnesota Gopherms 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 Kansas team and in doing so put up one of the machine and in doing so put up one of the stubborn fights ever offered in the face of such odds.
The crowd was large. Coming from all 4 points in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska ten thousand persons filled McCook. Special trains and regular trains brought thronges to Lawrence, while roads in each direction were alive with autos all morning. By two o'clock this morning crews fielded 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 is in order at every student's room as well as at the fae. 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 Stiefler roll but that seems to be true. 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 stars. Anyone can have an ordinary team but with that combination something must happen.
Nebraska is not a one man or a three man team. He had seven men playing football every minute of the game. Any substitution in the line-up did not subtract from the prowess of the Huskers. Cook, Gardiner, Shields, Abbott and Reese shine among the stars and in fact the whole line-up 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 Gerrard came every move of the opponent 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 he had an effort to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keepe phim out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was against him and the opponent against Moser and the Husker line plunges 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 half and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and with little chances of success and with little luck. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on it, 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 Lindsey to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhusker attempted to block the punt but was caught off side and Kansas gained two yards by another punt was necessary, and upon 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
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
through left tack' paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tackle for first down. Chamberlain went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two throws to for a first down and five yards to go for a touchdown the Cormuskers were unable to get through the Kansas stone wall and lost the ball on downs. Lindsey punted out of danger and in three downs after losing to John's men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
Reber 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 and 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 in the third put Caley and Lindsey punted to the 40-yard line to Caley who was downed by three Kansans. An end run failed and a pass was blocked eight yards behind the线. Nebraska had 17 yards to go and on the defense Chamberain hit a Forward pass counted 28 yards.
A 28-Yard Pass
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 lost the ball. Lindsey then saved his team by punting to the Nebraska 49-yard线. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
Chamberlain Goal.
The second quarter opened with a twenty-point goal to Chamberlain who shook off all tacklers until he crossed the Jayhawker goal. Moser kicked goal. On the kick-off following this Gillespie kicked only ten yards into Mosers arms and then the ball pass put the ball on Kansas 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Hot! then made eleven yards for first downs. Lindsey and Gillespie lost four yards out. The ball passed on. On the fourth down Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard line to Cook who returned to the center of the field.
Chamberlain Goes Over
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. Gilleslice lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey punted 38 yards to Cook who returned it 18. An eight yard gain caused but a buster recovered the oval and a first down on the next successive downs put the ball on the Kansas 3 yard线 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 down a long pass. But the Nebraska quarter was downed on the 89-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 Gardiner got worse when he came up next on the one on the Nebraska 15-yard line. A punt led to Kansas 28 yard line and a chance to score was past. Exchange of punts and a few plays gave Chamberlin the ball on Kansas 45-yard line when it took touchdown. 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. It brought one out of the窑. One of these if it had been hold would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhuser team. After a punt, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but it missed. The ball returned it thirty-five yards. Cook returned it.
Nebraska then rushed the ball on a series of plays straight down the field to a touchdown. Nothing could stop the charging backfield headed by Rutherford. The next quarter started off with a drive in and in a Rutherford had planted the ball behind the posts for the final touchdown.
Kansas showed good fight 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 lineup and summary:
Couldn't Stop Drive
Nebraska 33 Kansas 0.

The Spirit of Calvary
When he blood runs warm beneath the furs and heavy coats, it is a long, long ways to Belgium. But a pinched, white, burning-eyed kiddie tranping the frosted stones of Massachusetts street without shoes would bring Belgium nearer.
In Belgium, where the iron heel grinds in the dusts of ruined homes, women and children shiver in the threadbare rags of yester-year, 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.
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.
This year the committee is going to send another ship and it has made even better arrangements for handling and distributing its offering. The Del'ar 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.
Registrar Geo. O. Foster is receiving contributions to the Dollar Christmas fund here on Mount Oread 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
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 doubtless follow, according to Neal Ireland, chairman of the committee on the Coop 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 all students may go who wish to take old books are set out. 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 K. J. students. If this idea is well supported we shall have our store here. We have not decided where it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."
Mr. Iré and is in favor of adopting the plan used in many other leaders.
PLAN SEMI-CENTENNIAL
Steps to Further Celebration Depend on Action of Chancellor and Faculty
Plans for a semi-centennial celebration to be held here next fall were discussed by the visiting alumni Saturday and the co-operation of the association pledged to the faculty. That step was taken when the event depends upon the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Bolt, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topeka, was appointed by the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed a chair to fill the vacancy on the Board of Alumni Visitors, caused by the resignation of Mrs. T. H. Chalky.
The association bears the expense of a Board of Visitors who spend at least five days at the University each year, investigate the needs of the students, and report to the alumni and the people of the state. Members of the board must be residents of Kansas. On the board at present are; Charles F. Scott, '81, Iola; James V. Humphrey, '85, Junction City; Scott Hopkins, '81, Topka; Mrs. L. H. Perkins, Lawrence; C. L. Davidson. 77-71, Wichita.
At the head of the association is the Board of Directors composed of ten members, which has general charge of the association's affairs. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls, 915- Glendwine Nilles, 916-Jameson.
