MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could
Not Stop Terrible On-
slaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stiehm's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Olecott's offering and they conquered the Jayhawk and 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 offer against one of the strongest teams in the United States.
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 try to machine and in doing so put up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of such odds.
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 northern Minnesota Gophers won a game by a one point margin.
A Game Worth Seeing
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 throngs to Lawrence, while roads in each direction were alike with autos all morning. By two o'clock creasing mass had reached McCook creasing mass had reached cars of car 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 former fraternity. Fraternity parties banquets caused the houses to be brushed with guests and the streets in front of the houses to be lined with autos.
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 Stiefman but that seemed too much later when it came along. 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 chance to win. If the team be sufficient on an ordinary team but with that combination something must happen.
A Team of Hard Players
Nebraska is not a one man or a three man team. He had eleven 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 Andy Groce ground away as one of the players 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 at the man with the ball, to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keephim out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was routed against. Moer 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, and in every moment and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quartar and he took Holk's half position. Forward passes were tried and liming him with ease, and they played with little access. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on he, wrong foo 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 five yards by side and Kansas gained five yards by another punt. Another punt was necessary, and under excitement Lindsey only punted to Caley on the thirty yard line.
Then Nebraska started in to show her wres. Three yards by Rutherford through the line, then two yards
enough left tackle 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 yards. With three yards to go forward, he took 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 only three yards were gained by Stiehl's men and on the fourth a pass failed and Karson took the ball.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
A 28-Yard Pass
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 line caused both 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 line was made by Lindsey punted to the 40-yard line to Caley who was downed by three Kansas. An end run failed and a pass was blocked eight yards behind the line. Nebraska had no touchdowns to do it in but a form two counts counted 28 yards.
A March to The Goal
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 pounding to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
GAME CHANGE
The quarter opened with a twenty-ward pass 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 Moser arms at 12:39, and Moser pass put the bail 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 last four yards but Hot missed. But the fourth down Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard line to Cook who returned to the center of the field.
A nine yard and a two yard gain through the line added first down to the increasing list. Two end runs failed to gain the win by Cook. Lindsey caught and returned it ten yards. Gillespie lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey punted 38 yards to Cook who returned it in a fourth. An Husker recovered the oval and a first down was made on the next play. Five successive downs put the ball on the Kansas 3 yard line for a fourth down. Gardiner then took it in the touchdown, 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 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 Gilliespett nilled ten yards and another to Holt gained eight yards. But Gardnerhler did not score, and he accepted the next one on the Nebraska 15-yard line. A puntrolled 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. Kansas nicked with netted a touchdown. Nebraska's interference could not be touched. A try for goal failed.
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 the same goal and Rutherford planted the ball behind the posts for the final touchdown.
Kansas recovered a fumbled punt on Nobraska's 30 yard line but lost the ball on downs after three touchdowns, these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhuser team. After a punt, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but it returned it back looked but it thirty-five yards.
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.

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 kiddle tranping the frosted stones of Massachusetts street without shoes would bring Belgium nearer.
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.
This year the committee is going to send another ship and it has made even better arrangements for handling and distributing its offering. The Dol'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.
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 Orad 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 Kansas.
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 work and aid the students. 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 can also offer a smaller store. We have not decided where it will be located but at the start the business will be curried or in Fraser."
Mr. Ire's and is in favor of adopting the plan used in many other leading
PLAN SEMI-GENTENNIAL
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. What steps should be taken to ensure action depends upon the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Blaxton, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H Doran, Topeka, was appointed to in-duct the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed Mrs. L. H. Perkins, Lawrence, Mrs. L. H. Perkins, Alumni Visitors, caused by the assignation 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. Members of the board must station and make on annual 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, Texas; Michael W. Hopkins, '86, Scott Hopkins, '81, Topeka; Mrs L. H. Perkins, Lawrence; L. C. Davidson, '77-81, 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, 975; Clydra W. Miller, 1984; James

THE FRESHMEN SHOW CLASS
McCarty's First Year Squad Will Furnish Good Men For Next Year's Varsity
The men who get football K's this year will have to work mighty hard for their positions next fall for the 1919 game is going to have some graduates ready for Varsity berths at that time. The freshman squad, under the tutorage of Coaches Leon McCarty and Lefty Sproff has been showing such class that the regulars are beginning to take notice.
Of the freshmen who have been working so faithfully during the season little has been said. Yet it is the hard work which these men make for the Varsity team. Ocotts' men are tightly bounded up in battlements. And little is the reward they get in the way of notoriously for their services.
McCarty's backfield has been making a fine showing this fall. Four of these men look good for Varsity berths next fall. Foster, a former Joplin star, is calling the signals at quarter and leading his team against the James attack, toward, of Lawrence in fullback, and Axline of Prescott and Casey, of Norton, in halfbacks, are showing a attack, J. V. Connelly, is another man with a high school reputation who is making good. He comes from Colby, Kansas and is the son of Congressman Connelly.
