MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could
Not Stop Terrible On-
slaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stiehm's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Olecott'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 team that defeated test 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 Jayhawk territory. It seen a strong team trying to re-enter 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 this evening, cars surged to 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 is in order at every student's room as well as at the ferny entrance. Fraternity parties commence 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 one of the most emphatic employes. 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 of us could be 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 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 Gwendolyn gave up their opponent until they were unable to fight any longer. Both men were taken from the battle injured, probably for the rest of the season. Hebet 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 a wedge 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 fighting every one of them, and ended up in every and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were true and limping, and backward pattches but with little success. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on her wrong foo
when he 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 the penalty.
The punt was successful, 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 tack's 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 two yards to go for a first down and lined up to go for a 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, Lindsey punted on three danger yards and Siblem's men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1015.
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 netted eleven yards and then got on off one of his famous end runs for thirty yards to the Kansas 28-yard line. Two plays then netted five yards but a fumble on the second line pinned the 40-yard punt 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 drew it, so the a forward pass counted 28 yards.
A 28-Yard Pass
A March to The Goal
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 goal. On the kick-off following this Gillespie kicked only ten yards into Mosers arms and Moser kicked pass put the ball on Kansas 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled in the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Holt then made eleven yards for first down. Lindsey and Gillespie lost four yards but Holt won back around left end but missed Nebraska's 35-yard line to Cook who returned to the center of the field.
A nine yard and a two yard gain through the line added first down to the increasing list. Then they scored one last, with twice that w tried by Cook. Lindsey caught and returned it ten yards. Gilleslie lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey punts 38 yards to Cook who took an upward step and recovered a fumble 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 and the downs ended for the foothold 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 lose the ball. Lindsay then saved his team by pounding to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
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 and score another empire. The Nebraska quarter wowed 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 passer. Lindsey to Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained two yards. But Garcia led to the passing and intercepted 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 28 yard line. Kansas notched 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. It was recovered by Iowa. One of these, it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhusker team. After a punt, out Lindsay attempted a drop kick but it missed. Cornhusker 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, but a minute later Rutherford had planted the touchdown, 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. The lineup and summary:
Nebraska 33 Kansas 0.
L.E.—Chamberlain Reber
L.T.—Corey (C.) James
L.G.—Shields Groft
C.—Moser Keeling

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, red, burning-eyed kiddle triang. plunged 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.
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.
Registrar Geo O. Foster is receiving contributions to the Dollar Christmas fund here on Mount Gread where the blood runs warm and young folks laugh, but where—it is very far to Belgium?

CO-OP STORE IN SIGHT
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.
Book Exchange May Be Stepping Stone To Selling At Little Over Cost
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 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 prepare our book exchange. We have not decided where 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. That steward told the news that the duration depends upon the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Blair, 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 Vice President 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 year, investigate the needs of the students annually and 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; Juncet, '90; John L. H. Hopkins; Stockley; Scott Hopkins, '81; Tepeka; Mrs. L. H. Perkins, Lawrence; C. L. Davidson, 77-71; Wichita.
At the head of the association is the Board of Directors composed of five directors, with a charge of the association's affairs. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls,

Washington stepped into the limelight early in the season by winning from the Missourians 14 to 0. But they were downed by Drake and then are an upset at home. The Odyssey position. Unless they run up against stronger opposition they will be rated with Drake for the fourth place. Missouri and the Kansas Aggies beat them, each team has as they have each lost two games and tied the other.
One other big game is left on the Valley schedule. Kansas meets Missouri in Columbia on Thanksgiving and it promises to be a battle royal. If the Tigers go through their who-season up to that time with only one victory and no Conference games to their credit, one of the hardest games in the history of the two basketball teams fighting mad and the Kansans usually know what Missouri does when she reaches that stage. At present the outlook is very optimistic from the Jayhawker viewpoint, but the Tiger has growled.
Kansas runners will enter the K. C. A. C. five mile run over the streets of Kansas City, Nov. 27.
