UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XIII. NUMBER 47 MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders They came, they saw and they conquered. Stielm's squad of twenty five came; they saw Oloeff'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 time 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. I had tried to resist a well-oiled 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 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 in Lawrence, cars urged 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 all the student's room as well as at the fae. 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 Stiff roller but that seems to be a hoopie. 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 stares. He is unfamiliar with 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 prewess 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. $^{10}$ The only play left for her was defensive since the Cornhuskers kept the ball most of the time. Captain James and Aaron Hogan every game 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 fate while in an effort to get the man with the ball, Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keep phim out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury 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 the players, in every way and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and linemates impressed. A short stretch of littlecess. It was just a plain case of beingpowered. K. U. Got y Wrong. Kansas got off on he, 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 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 tack and paved out way. Cornhusks two little yards gain on a tackle swing through right tack for first down. Chamblemier went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two hits 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 out of danger and in three downs Cornhusks scored Johnson's men and on the fourth a 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 two tracks. Three plays then 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 by the defense 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. Nebraska has been doing to do it in but a forward pass counted 28 yards. The second quarter opened with a twenty-yard pass to Chamberlin 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 Moser's forward pass but crossed the 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 down. Lindsay and Gillespie lost four yards but Holt came out on fourth down. Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard line to Cook who returned to the center of the field. A 28-Yard Pass UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915. Chamberlain Goes Over 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. 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 be trailed by Cook. Lindsay caught and returned it ten yards. Gillespie lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey caught 38 yards to Cook who returned in the end, and 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 9 yard line for four minutes, so it took right round 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. But the Nebraska quarter was downed 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. Lindsay to Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt grinded to the passing game 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 Chamberlin the ball but it started a wide run which netted a touchdown. Nebraska's interference could not be touched. A try for goal failed. Kansas recovered a rumbled punt on Nebraaska's 30 yard line but lost the ball. Washington warded 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 a drop kick but it missed. The ball returned to thirty-five yards. Couldn't Stop Drive 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 again, and Rutherford had planted the ball behind the post 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 lineman and summary: Nebraska 33 Kansas 0. L.E.—Chamberlain Reber L.T.—Corey (C.) James L.G.—Shields Groft C.—Moser Keeling R.G.—Abbott Reedy The lineup and sum. (Continued on page 4) 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 kiddie 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 wages 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. Registrar 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? 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 Dolar 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.

SENIORS ENTERTAIN 200 ALUMNI WITH SMOKER W, Y. Morgan, W. W. Brown, E. T. Hackney, Webster Holloway, Ralph Spots, 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 Co-op 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 samster, to which all students may go who wish to learn old 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 well supported we shall store them at our store. We have not decided where it will be located but at the start the business will be carried out in Fraser." Mr. Ire'and 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 alumun Saturday and the co-operation of the association pledged to the faculty. That step will help to ensure that the operation 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, Torena, 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 month. The board must also 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, '86, Sheldon; James W. Smith, '75, 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 five members with a charge of the association's affair. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls.

HUTSON WILL DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP Game This Afternoon Determines Owner Missouri Valley Title The Kansas-Nebraska game this afternoon will decide the Missouri Valley championship. Kansas and Nebraska go into the battle with clear Conference records in other team games in Valley has at least one败家. The Cornhuskers are fighting for their fourth consecutive championship. Jumbo Stiehln's men have not tasted defeat for so long that they have no idea what it tastes like, and especially at the hands of the Jayhawkers. The famous run of Tommy Johnson in 1909 was the last touchdown that Kansas scored on the Cornbushers. Thus it is sort of a custom for the Huskers to take the annual game. But this year Coach Olcott has turned out a team which promises to shut off the Stiehm. And this battle will be watched by every school in the Conference. If Kansas can stop streak, then they are all for Kansas. At the first of the season Ames was a strong contender for the championship. But her overwhelming defeat by the Cornhuskers left her only a candidate for the second berth. Now the men of Rutherford are coming down to Lawrence to attempt to put the "fixins" to the hopes. If they succeed in putting the Cornhuskers will again be champions while it will be the Ames and Kansas to set up the dispute for second round. As these two teams do not meet, the only way to decide the second berth would be by comparative scores, unless one or the other loses a Conference game after this week. Missouri is entirely out of the running this season. Schutte's squad, although talked up strongly at the first of the season, have only annexed the long end of the score in one game. This was the opener for the Olda homa Agies; 6. Since then they played three Conference games and lost two of them. The other one, with the Kansas Agies, resulted in a 0-0 draw.
