MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stiilhm's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Olcott'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. The last time the northern 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 Jayhawk territory. It had seen a strong Kansas State team 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 *i*1 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 morning the masses assembled at McCook 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 faculty. Faternity parties 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 Strike roller but that seems to be impossible to accomplish. 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 stars. Anyone can suffice in an ordinary team but with that combination something must happen.
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 lineup 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 defense since the Cornhuskers kept the ball most of the time. Captain James and Gerry Grassie gave 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. Robert the same fate while charging to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keeph out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was renewed and the game was won. 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, including in every play and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were treated better but with little success. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on her wrong foot when Picknick 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 possession. Another punt 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's pave, the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackl swing through right tackle for first down. Chamberlain went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two yards. He punted for an inch down and five yards to go for a tochdown to 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 into the fourth on the fourth 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 first down Chamberlain 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 into the goal line. The goal line was recovered by James 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 line. The goal line only downs to do it in but a forward pass counted 28 yards.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
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 pounding to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 59-yard line.
Chamberlain Goes 104
The second quarter opposed with a twoseason victory. 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 to Mosers arms on the fifth ball in 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 won. 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. Gillespie lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey punter 38 yards to Cook who returned 18. An eight yard gain caused Tumble but a Husker recoveried the oval and a first down on the next four successive downs 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. 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 Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained 13 yards. But Gardner intercepted to the passing line and intercepted the next 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 Chamberlain the ball and caught a wide run 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 lost the ball, and Kane forcedward 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 drop kick Luck. The receiver Cook returned 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 same way as in a game, Rutherford hid 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 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 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.
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 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.
Registrar Geo. O. Foster is receiving contributions to the Dollar Christmas fund here on Mount Oread where the blood rans 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-Up 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 old or new books. We will 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. J. students. If this idea is well supported we shall proceed with regular ingenuity not decided until it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."
Mr. Irel'end 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 University Senate to further the celebration depends upon the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Dearan, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topeka, was appointed to inform the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed Mrs. L. H.
