MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could
Not Stop Terrible On-
slaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stihelm'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 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 Gophens won 1912 when the Minnesota Gopherns 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 fawaytiony hightower. I had seen a steel-colored key to try to 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 the time this over-nation mass had 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 faculty houses. Fraternity parties caused the houses to be bronghed 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 Stieb roller but that seems to be the case. 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 who can win 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 up until she did not subtract from the prowess of the Huskers. Cook, Gardiner, Shields, Abbott and Reese shine among the stature of the players. The team was mentioned when picking out the good players.
Kansas fought hard.[20] The only play left for her was defensive since the Cornhuskers kept the ball most of the time. Captain James and Gordon gave every one 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. Rebet 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 keeph out of the remaining game. Keeling's of injury ended in a fierce fight 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, but he continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and with little plunges from the basket, the little loss. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y Wrong.
Kansas got off on her 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 Lindsay to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhusker attempted to block the punt but the pivot light off side side gave five yards by penalty route. Another punt was necessary, and under excitement Lindsay 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
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
through left tackle 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 followed with two yards, then 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 only three yards were gained by Stiehlman men and on the forfeit a pass failed and Kansas ook the ball.
A 28-Yard Pass
hener 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 lines 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 yard 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 had 17 yards to go and only two downs in a forward pass counted 28 yards.
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
Nebraska.
The second quarter opened with a twenty-yard pass to Chamberlin who shook off all tacklers until he crossed the Jayhawkey 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 on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Hott then made eleven yards for first downs. Lindsey and Gillespie last four yards but Hott won it back around left end. O'Shea scored to 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. 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 punched 38 yards to Cook who returned 18. An eight yard gain caused a fumble but a Husker rebounded the oval and was made on the next play. Five 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 breckneck to pull down a long pole. The team had at one time But the Nebraska quarter was downed on the 38-yard line and the half ended as Nebraska made another first down.
Kansas Tries Passing
Kansas recovered a fumbled punt on Nebraska's 90 yard line but lost the ball on downs. 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 it was returned. Cornhusser returned it thirty-five yards.
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 got going after the rebound,接捕 the next one on the Nebraska 15-yard line. A puntled 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 when he touched it. Nebraska's interference could not be touched. A try for goal failed.
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 Nebraska 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. The lineup and summary:

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.
The Spirit of Calvary
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 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 Coop 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 semester, to which all students will with echap old or second hand books. 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 K. U. students. If this idea is well supported we shall have what we need where it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on 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 alumni Saturday and the co-operation of the association pledged to the faculty. That steers the operation away from 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 Bloater, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topeka, was appointed chair by the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed a committee to fill the vacancy on the Board of Alumni Visitors, caused by the resignation of M. T. H. Chalky.
The association bears the expense of a Board of Visitors who spend at least five days at the University each year to conduct research, visitation 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, '85, Jim Cunningham, '86, Jeff Stockey, Scott 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 members who have a charge of the association's affairs. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls,
GROFT
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
ANDREW (ANDY) GROF.
Andy plays right tackle, you know. His favorite stunt is to get through the line and grab the neck of the man carrying the rock. Once he gets his stump out, he has an anatomy a surrender is necessary. He has been in bed for a couple of weeks with malaria but may not be in India yet. He should get his third "K" this year.
HOBART C. HOLT
He comes from Topeka. He is trying to outlive it, but meanwhile he is trying to outlive it. He has the speed and force to tear into the line from his half back position, and it uses that cotton-topped head he is using in his last run by Lawrence, but he was called Hobart once in Topeka. He is five pounds. Watch him.
BERNARD GILLESPIE
Like his brother, he comes from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He will play at left half and right half in the first Kansas touchdown. He is older than "Lass"—if you know how old he is. He is also taller than the team's preliminary training under Weidlein last year. He is six feet tall and can kick if he has enough reach in his pocket.
LESTER GILLESPIE
This is L. Gillespie. His brother is R. Gillespie. "Lees is play" his first year on the Varsity squad after having learned the rudiments from Bill Weldin's freshman squad last year. Weldin will be playing the season and it is increasing as the season grows older. He usually takes his brother's position after the latter has scored the first touchdown of the game. Then it is up to "Lees" do the same, but he is five feet and eleven short and weighs 125 pounds.
ROSS KEELING
Ross hasn't got a nickname. He has had several but none of them stick. However, Keeling, himself, is the teammate. The Knicks edge on the way of anyone. He is the most consistent center Kansas has had if he isn't in the right position. He has not been in many games this fall.
STROTHERS
GEORGE B. (SHORTY) STROTHER
He toes wheat shocks around on his 600 acre farm during the summer and keeps his 196 pounds of beef in good condition. Postoffice address, Oakley, Kansas; height, six feet; age, 23 years; ambition, "Be Nebraska."
GEORGE B. (SHORTY) STROTHER
Like Heath, be a Kansas City boy;
is a good football player; and
is Heath's equal when it comes to women.
Heath is often done some of the punting for the Kansas squad for three years and always kicks off and kicks goal from touchdown. He is after his third football

He's the 3rd and tip of the scales at $85
the pound.
SAMUEL J. LAWELLIN
"Lew" is showing a fine line of football at tackle this year and his two years ago, when he came much to the Kansas line. Sam got some of his experience on the freshman squad last year and is nicking up his form in Kansas City now but rumor has it that he used to live in Oklahoma. He has worked with players andammers and stands about five, eleven.
