MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stelmach's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Oloot'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.
If the Huskers were overconfident they did not show it on the field. And they have a right to be overconfident, but the Minnesota gophers only tested defeat was 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 fayette Kansas team try to resist a well-rolled steel machine and in doing so put up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of such adversity.
The crowd was large. Coming from all 4 points in Missouri, Kanaas and Nebraska ten thousand persons filled McCook. Special trains and regular trains brought throngs to Lawrence, while roads in each direction were alive with autos all morning. By two o'clock this evening, by 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 order at every student's room as well as at the fraternity Fraternity parties and banquets caused the houses to be brongled 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 Stiefel roller but that seems to be the more impressive of the two. 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 strength. Anyone who suffers an unfairly 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. She 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 Cornhukers kept the ball most of the time. Captain James and Grandmother were more nervous on 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. Rebet met the same fate while charging 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 against him 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打倒了 every one in every play and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were true but a lilin attackment hurted him with little success. 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 Lindsay to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhusker attempted to block the punnt but was caught off side and Kansas guinea fries yards. Another punnt 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
through left tackle paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tackle for first down. Chamberlin went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two yards and 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. Lindsay punted out of danger and in three downs that day, but Dishin's men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1918.
A 28-Yard Pass
Rober was down behind the line and on the next play Lindsey punted to the Nebraska 35-yard line where Caley was downed in his trucks. Three plays through the Nebraska line left the Kansas 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 ball was walked 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 has hit six of those four downs to do it in but a forward count counted 28 yards.
Chamberlain Goes Over
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 jout the ball. Lindsey then saved his team by punting to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
Chamberlain.
The seven quarterer opened with a twenty-pass to Chamberlain who shook off all tacklers until he crossed the Jayhawker goal. Moser kicked goal. On the kick-off follow- this Gillespie kicked only ten yards into Mosers arms on the field and the pass put 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 but Holt out in 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 ten yards 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 11 but a Husker recovered the oval and a first down was made on the next play. Five successive downs put the ball on the Kansas 9 yard line and 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 pipe that came at him and at- But the Nebraska quarter was downed on the 38-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 Gelliespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained eight yards. But Gallagher intercepted the next one on the Nebraska 15-yard line. A punkrolled to Kansas 28 yard line and a chance to score was past. Exchange of punts and a few plays gave Chamberlain the best play, which started a wide end which netted 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 'bout the fast pass attempts. 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 the ball returned. Cornhusker 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 charging backfield headed by Rutherford. The next quarter started off the same way and in the second 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;
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 kiddle 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.
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.
Registerrar Geo. O. Foster is receiving contributions to the Dollar Christmas fund here on Mount Orland 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 Co-op 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 when their exchange old or new 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 is well supported we shall be housed at another store. We have not decided where it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."

Two Dozen and Two Footballs Have Been Used by Jayhawkers
THIS IS THE TWENTY-SIXTH
That bright new football out there on a mud pivot is the twenty-six pigskin which has been inflated and tossed about on the Kansas gridiron this fall.
It will be used for the game today and tomorrow it will be: be kept as a treasure in some good keeping place and not forgotten in case of the victor in today's battle.
The other twenty-five ovalies that have appeared on McCook Fied this fall, none have been so fortunate. Eight of them are fit to use in daily practice, an instrument in the discard and the remaining ten—well, did one of them stray down to your boarding club or rooming house? Sixteen is the largest number that will answer roll call questions; other ten have sought other quarters.
But our sympathies are extended to the poor eight that are present and are not able to get out on the field because as they did in their younger days.
