MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stieth's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Oloct's offering; and they conquered the Jayhawk and the Valley penchant 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. The last time the Minnesota Gophers won 1912 when the Minnesota Gopher was 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 try to sist a well-othered line and strike up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of much 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 ever-increasing array arrived to McCook Field and hundreds of cars were "turned out to pasture" on the golf links while their owners witnessed the bier 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 eager at every student's room, as well as at the fraternity parties. 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.
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 Strike roller but that seems impossible, a hamstring enterprise. 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. Anyone with sufficient 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 end guard Aaron every way of the game until they were unable to fight any longer. Both men were taken from the battle injured, probably for the rest of the season. Rebe met the same fate while change 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 caused by 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 minute and fighter for one and continued in every play 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 were made with little lice. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on the 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 Lindssey to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhuncker attempted to block the punt but was caught side and Kansas gained 14 yards by another punt, and another punt was necessary, and under excitement Lindssey only punted to Caley on the thirty yard line.
Then Nebraska started in to show
how strong they were. They drove

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
through left tackle paved the way to 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 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 men and on the fourth a pass failed and Kansu took the ball.
Chamberlain Goes Over
The second quarter opened with a twenty- yard pass to Chamberlain who shook off all tacklers until he crossed the Jayhawker goal. Moser kicked this. On the kick-off following goal, Gillespie kicked only ten yards into Moser's attempt and then forward pass put the ball on Kansas 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Holt then made eleven yards for first downs. Lindsey and Gillespie last four yards but. Holt followed up with the fourth down Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard线 to Cook who returned to the center of the field.
A March to The Goal
Reber was downed behind the line and on the next play Lindsay punted to the Nebraska 35-yard line where Caley was downed in his tracks. Three plays through the 20 yard line 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 third put it out. Chamberain and Lindsay 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 only two downs to call for 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队 by pounting to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
A nine yard and a two yard gain through the line added first down to the increasing list. Two end runs failed to gain an extra yard from the line 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. But Cook won back-to-back 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 3 yard line for a fourth down. Gardner then took his third down for the touchdown and Mossock kicked one.
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 down 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 Gardiner kneeled. The defense accepted 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 stepped back toward 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 in the opposing team. One of these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhusher team. After a punt, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but it fell short. The Cornhusher recaptured 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 started off the team with an RB for Nebraska but planted the ball behind the posts for the final touchdown.
Kansas showed good fight at the finish of the game and aftersee-saw, they took the lead. The battle was declared over after a 50-yard boot by Lindsay

When he blood runs warm beneath the furre and heavy coats, it is a long, long ways to Belgium. But a pinched, red, 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 bags 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 "66," 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.
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 means a living hell.
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?

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 Syracuse 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 who wish to exchange or obtain books for 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 probably give a regular visit. We will not decided what it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."
Mr. Ireland is in favor of adopting
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, to offer a fundraiser for the celebration depends upon the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.

WILLIAM OLIVER KEEPS BUSY
Kansas Athletic Director Coaches Two Teams in Addition to Routine Duties
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
One of the idle men in the University this week was William Oliver Hamilton. All this gentleman had to do was to see that twelve thousand people were given the seats they desired for this game, and the chairs were built on MeCook Field; that everything was arranged for the accommodation of the crowd; that the teams would be properly cared for; and—well we don't know just what to do for that matter. But it is a fact that the gentleman did not get home for many meals or long night sleeps during the week.
Yet not a grouchy word has been heard from "Ham." He goes about his business, but the precision as is possible. He has become accustomed to doing things well and in a hurry so it is no trouble. He don't mind being busy. He has been connected with the work of 1909 and knows how they should be handled.
Now this William Oliver, or as some say Omar, has had a lot of experience in athletics. In the first place, he always ran away from home to get into some sport and when he got big enough to get into the grade schools he was the pride of the school. He lived in Huntsville, Missouri, until he was four years old but the world did not try to reach him by
telephone and telegraph as it has this week. He was a pole vaulter, football and basketball player of no small fame on the Liberty high school team. He also trained William Jewell college he started in as gym instructor to earn part of his expenses. After making the second basketball team of the middle west in 1898 he became a professor of physical education and was kept out of participation in any sport.
The Valley championship in basketball has been a permanent thing at Kansas of late. All this is due to the successful coaching of W. O. H., himself. In track it was the same story, He capped the tournament in 1906 and finished in 1910. It is to his credit also that Kansas won the Convention Hall meet against Missouri in 1912 for the first time it had ever been won by Kansas.
Physical director of Central high school of Kansas City was his title from 1903 to 1909 when Manager Lansdon drafted him to Kansas University as basketball and track coach. In 1911 Lansdon resigned leaving the job for Hampton. But Wilmer Otte continued as coach in of the four major sports. He not only continued but he put these two sports on the map and in 1913 was made head of the athletic department.
