NUMBER 4
MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
they came, they saw and they conquered. Steinh'm's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Olcott's offering and they conquered it 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 as a stronger strongest 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 Gopherws had 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 Jawahрь territory. It had seen a strong KKK player try to try to build 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. Coming from all 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 autos all morning. By two o'clock this year increasing as many as hundred 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 banquets caused the houses to be thronged 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 Stats but, but he is dumb after hardyards jamboree. 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 won; then would 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. 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.[30] The only play left for her was defensive since the Cornhuskers kept the ball most of the time. She had Jama and Jamie, Great-Grandmother 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 teammate in an effort to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keeph him out of the remaining game, self-feeling the injury, and calling a strategy against Moser and the Husker line plunges he was replaced by Meyn.
Lindsey, playing quarter for Kansas proved to be the manstah of his team. He was in the game the whole sixty minutes and fighting every one over him, and continued in every action and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and lined by him, but with little success. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
K. U. Goff
Kansas got off on her wrong foot.
When picked up a rolling kickoff near the goal line and was downed on the Kansas one yard线 for the first down of the game. This forced Lindsay to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhusker attempted to block the punt but was caught off side and Kansas gained two yards. Another punt was necessary, and under excitement Lindsay 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 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. Fifth yards turned up and five to go for ε touchdown the Cн窟huskers 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 and on and on the long forward pass failed and Kansas 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 goalie's arms 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 play Friday 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 line. Nebraska had 17 yards to go and only two yards behind it in 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 lost the ball Lindsey then saved his team by pounting to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
Chamberlain Goes Ove
The second quarter, opposed with a twenteth game, 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 on the fifty yard line. Another in the 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Hott then made eleven yards for first downs. Lindsey and Gillespie lost four yards but Holt won it back after the final in Nebraska. 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. Gillespie lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey punted 38 yards to Cook who returned it 18. An eight yard gain caused a knife but a Husker recovered the oval and a first down was made on the next down where the down 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 down a long pass which led to a tempter in Nebraska trunked 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 Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained eight yards. But Gardner hit it game wide and netted the next one on 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 started a run. But the Nebraska 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. The team then forced it, 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 Linden attempted a drop from the basket and took return it thirty-five yards.
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 ended in a few minutes 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:

The Spirit of Calvary
When he blood runs warm beneath the furre and heavy coats, it is a long, long ways to Belgium. But a pinchred, white, burned-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 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.
Register 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?

SENIORS ENTERTAIN 200
ALUMNI WITH SMOKER
Members of the senior class were hosts to 200 visiting alumni at a smoker Saturday in Enger's Hall, having the big rally in the gymnasium.
W. Y. Morgan, W. W. Brown, E. T. Hackney, Webster Holloway, Ralph Spotts, Will Austin, Ellis Davidson, and T. Davenport Smith, all alumni, made short speeches. Cider and doughnuts were served.
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 CoP 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 exchange old or second hand books. 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. U. students. If this idea is well supported we shall prepare it for regular use. We have not decided what it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."

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. What steps will be taken to fund the celebration in connection with the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Boltra, 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 commission 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 summer. The Board is in a situation 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, Smith; Mary C. Gunnell, '86, Stockton; Hopkins, '81, Topeka; Mrs.L. H. Perkins, Lawrence; C. L. Davidson, '77-81, Wichita.
At the head of the association is the Board of Directors composed of ten members. One member is the association's affairs. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls.
K. U. HAD A GOOD REPUTATION
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The University Football Teams Formerly Had Strong Eastern Schedule
The defeat three weeks ago of Notre Dame, a supposedly mighty team from the east, by Nebraska, recalls to the memory of many an oak degrad the time in 1804, when U. U. went to the Catholics on McCook Field.
The 1904 game was the seventh of the ten games which were played that year. Notre Dame came to Lawrence with a successful part of the season behind the team or held down that year many colleges that were supposed to be stronger than any in the west. In the frame of mind produced by these successes, Notre Dame had hydrocephalic condition (Look it up). Notre Dame arrived in town
The Kansas record up to that time in the season had not been consistently victorious; we had been defeated by Haskell and tied by Colorado. The eastern star pitched before, but the shouting. But they failed to reckon on the Kansas "personal equation." To make a long story short, "great was the fall
thereof", and on the evening of the day the Catholic squad left town feeling heavily burdened by the short end of a 24 to 5 score. The Jayhawk screamed a blessing after the departing team.
But Notre Dame is not the only team that has met that fate at the hands of K. U. teams of the past. Still farther back Illinois came here with intentions of showing the "wild and woolly west" how to play the game. It was a sad case. They were all top-heavy and turned turtle as soon as our men began to look them over. Score 26 to 4.
Other noted cases of enlarged heads have been cured in the K. U. atmosphere. The two cases in which Iowa suffered defeat are seldom heard about. In 1890, after having defeated an on 40, in 1897, after having defeated us the previous year, and having won from such powerful teams as Northwestern, Iowa dropped in on us for a full meal of broiled Jayhawk, in 1895; it always ascribed to the combination of youth with the hot bird and the cold bottle.
"The Iowa team," according to "bcc" Kennedy, who was the K. U. captain that year and later coach, "was, man for man, larger than the Kansas team. They were great big, yes, immense fellows," he said recent-
by, in recalling the game, "and the bright yellow sweaters."
