MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stiehm's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Oicott'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 the 1922 game was 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 Jawahk territory. It had seen a strong Kansas team try to resist a stopper and he would so put up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of such odds.
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 alive with autos all morning. By two o'clock creasing mass had surged to McCook acre 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's Fraternity parties the funnies 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 Strikes him but that seems impossible from after that season with the Nebraska. 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 stairs. Anyone of us could be 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 Greg Grasshopper made two days 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. Reben met the same face while he an effort to get the man with the ball, and He played well at the other end. His knee will' probably keim pout of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was against Misser 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 in one play and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quartar and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and amine plunges wereettered with rifles in one. 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线 for the first down of the game. This forced Lindsey to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhuser attempted to block the punt but was caught side and Kansas gained three yards by another punt, and under excitement Lindsey only punted to Caley on the thirty yard line.
Then Nebraka started in to show
their technique. She poured
through the line, then two yards
through left tack's paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tack for first down. Chamberlin wrested around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two yards at bottom 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. Lindsey punted out of danger and in three throws by Steinhoff's men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
A 28-Yard Pass
Rober 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 netted eleven 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 second was recovered by James and Lindsey punted to the 40-yard line to Caley who was downed. An end run failed and a pass was blocked eight yards behind the line. Nebraska had 17 yards to go and only two downs to do it in but a forward pass counted 28 yards.
The second quarter opened with a twenty-yard 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 two yards into Moser. The other forward pass put the 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 lead four yards out. On 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 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 fumble but a Husker recovered the oval and a first down was made on the next play. The Kansas 3 yard line for a fourth down. Gardiner then took it around right end for the touchdown and Moser kicked 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 punting to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
Chamberlain Goes Over
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 89-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 ball went wide, and Nebraska captured 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 Chamberlin the ball on Kansas 45 yard line where he scored 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 on downs in attempts. One of these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhusser team. After a punt, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but the ball went upfield. Cornhusser 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 play was asay and in a few minutes Rutherford had planted the ball behind the posts for the final touchdown.
Couldn't Stop Drive
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.
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 tran.ping 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.
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.
Registerstar 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?

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 samster, to which all students may go who wish to study at U.K. 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 was supported we shall store it at our local store. We have not decided where 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. What steps will be taken to further enhance the facilities under the direction of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Dearn, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topeka, was appointed to the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed Mrs. L. H. Perkins, as Chairman, and 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 $75,000 each year investigate the needs of the institution 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, 'S1; Ioa; James V. Humphrey, 'S8; ime; Mrs. C. Davidson, 'S9; Stockton; Hopkins, 'S1; Topeka; Mrs, L. H. Perkins, Lawrence; C. L. Davidson, '77; Wichita.
At the head of the association is the Board of Directors composed of ten members, which as was generalized in the Association. The board includes Sheffield Inglis.
Who's Who on the N. U. Team
CAPTAIN DICK RUTHERFORD
CAPTAIN DICK
Walt Mason once made the town of Boca Raton and then deserted it. Since that time it has depended upon the athletes it sends up to the University to keep it in the center of all great wonderful all-around football player Beatrice ever produced. He is an irresistible line plunger, an accurate pass tackler, an effective interference handler, and a defensive player, he has no equal in the west. The Husker captain keeps up high ratings. All times, and almost always in the best of physiques. He spent the summer on the life saving crew at Long Beach, California, and started his year of football in the best form of college life has "Na" in three departments.
CHAMBERLAIN
"Oh. Chamberlain did it," vanquished foes are wont to say after ineffectively trying to stop the bullets from freight. Amanda Chamberlain and a way Guy had no trouble in shifting through the Cyclone defense, and the big key is doped to score a goal every time he lives. His name in the family Bible is Berlin Guy, but only the very intimate know that he has the Teutonic prexia. He is known as the guy to opponents he known as THE guy to watch out for. This is Chamberlain's second year at Nebraba, and his main point is the sucker attack both years and last. Not only is he a wonderful ground gainer, but he is a peeled defensive end, and he is Chamberlain's main weapon. Chamberlain hails from Blue Springs.
ARBOTT
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
COREY
Notre Dame was not the first eleven which discovered the hopelessness of trying to march over the body of Notre Dame's older Abtott. Abtott is its last year on the team, and will be his third year as All-Missouri Valley tackle, for which year has already been him mention in Western. Probably Abtott's first appearance in the linelightwave in the Minnesota game years ago, when he played ball on the yard line and two minutes to play, quarterback Tollerson of the Gopher hummer attached his arm to ball at Abtott'sination. When the ball was downed the third time, it was some six inches ahead of its original course, but through Abtott's side play through Abbott's side of the line. Bierman fumbled the ball and Abbott fell upon Husker John Husker, punched out of our Strong as a ball, "Mother" is steady, consistent, always dependable guard, who plays with wonderful spirit and sportmanship. He hails from
Big Tim Corey, who comes from Green Bay in the Badger state, chose Nebraska as his Alma Mater after a brilliant football career at Lake For-
eat. He says he isn't sorry he chose Nebraska, and its a cincinnati Cornbushers aren't sorry he did. This is Big Tim's second year on the am, and he plays his position in a way that Halligan thinks think that "Halligan still lives."
CHAMBERLAIN
TED RIDDELL
Riddell halls from the same town as does Captain Dick Rutherford, Heatrice, and ever since he inhales and a gang he posed with even eleven, he been helping the Husker Captain uphold the reputation of the old home town. This is Riddell's real work on the defense and his shashing offense has won him a permanent berth.
SHAW
When Shaw first asserted his right to a tackle position on the Varsity this fall as the natural consequence of a brilliant year of freshman football, Coach Steish thought for the claim, the situation would be denied. The Tecmusch lad showed such rapid improvement after his first Varsity game that his position is now practically secure. Shaw danced himself in the face of half of the team's defense by his consistent breaking up of the Catholic formations. His home is in Tecmusch.
CALEY
The good people of Sterling, Nebraska, after having listened to a Sunday morning sermon by Reverend John Caley, go home and read the sporting page for the latest news of John Caley, junior, on the football field. His prop team was a half-hour before he but lacked the weight to play this position in Varsity football, and after a discouraging month or so with the scrubs last year, Coach Stehm
gave the little fellow a shot at quarterback. His showing was far from satisfactory in his initial appeal, but he went on to win the Varsity general this season. Caley has shown excellent generality, and is a brilliant player. He played as a sifty at running back punts.
MOSER
Tall and handsome. Mose Moser, of Omaha, is something of a demon off the football field as a demon off the field. He has a skill on the ball and fussing. He has achieved enviable success at both. Moser, who is another first year man, is filling Cameron's this year to the satisfaction of Husker and the discordance of opposing elevens.
SHIELDS
Paul Shields is fairly well upon his way to go through one season without crutches. His first year as a Varsity man was cut short when he injured the elbow and last year, trouble with the same support kept him on and off the hospital list throughout the season. This year the team played for gone through every game without injury, and his work against rival teams this season demonstrates the fact that he has best to make up for lost time, and his opportunity for good. He lives in Omaha.
GARDINER
"Chimille" was the backfield star of last year's freshman team, and he is continuing his good work on the site this year. Garnier was a spectacle but, as a steadier, surer, more faithful backfield man has never turned up for business at the Cornhusker's school. Gardiner's defensive work is an essential he is in when an offer can be found at the Valley. Gardiner makes his home in Omaha.
