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 Olicott'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 Minnesota Gopher won 1912 when the Minnesota Gopher 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 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 a1 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 alike with autos all morning. By two oak lids this sweeping line 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 fraternity house. 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 Strikehm roller but that seems to be an improvement. 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 stamina. Anyone can suffice in 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 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 Gwen Owens 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 charging to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keepe him out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was renewed and made worse. Moser and the Husker line plunges he was replaced by Meyn.
Lundsey, 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 in every one and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and limbed by the defense with little difficulty, but with littlecess. It was just a plain case of being powered.
K. U. Got v Wrong.
Kansas got off on her right foot when she 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 was caught off side and Kansas gained fourth base, the penalty, and another punt in defense, 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
through left tack's paved the way for Corey's two yards 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, yard swings down and down and five 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 from then and on the fourth long forward pass the ball, 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 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 punched to 40-yard line to Caley who was down- 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.
A 28-Yard Pass
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
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
**Camberley.**
The quarter-opened with a twenty-ward 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 on the ground and a forward 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 lost four yards but Holt scored 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 but a Husker recovered the oval and made it unsafe 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 breakneck speed to pull down a long pass which ended with a temp-temp crash on the Nebraska quarter 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. Lindsey to Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained eight. But Gillespie lost the passing and intercepted 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 Chamberlin the opportunity he started a wide end 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 as Coach Anderson pass attempts. One of these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhuser team. After a pat, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but the ball came up. Cornhuser 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 and in minutes Rutherford hit the pockets behind the posts for the final touchdown.
Couldn't Stop Drive
Kansas showed good fight at the finish of the game and see-sawing back and forth during the rest of the half. The battle was declared over after a 50-yard boot by Lindsey. The line-up and summary:
Nebraska 33 Kansas 0.
LE—Chamberlain Reber
LT—Corey (C.) James

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 trenping 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 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.
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 Orend where the blood runs warm and young folks laugh, but where—it is very far to Belgium?

CO-OP STORE IN SIGH7
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 semester, to which all students may go who wish to exchange old or second books. We expect 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 have a store where store. We have not decided 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. What steps will be taken to further the goal of commemorating the accession 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 to inquire about the progress of the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed Mrs. L. H. Perkins, and Mrs. L. H. Perkins, 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 problems in campus life 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, Union City; Lizzy Williams Marshall, '83, Topics; 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 which he general charge of the association's affairs. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls.

WOOD
Who's Who on the K. U. Team
TAIN DARL JAMES
HEATH
WALTER W. WOOD
CAPTAIN
When the captain came for the election of a captain to pilot the 1915 Jayhawk football team there was no question in the minds of the players who would be chosen. The team has been the best on the squad and he is living up to his reputation this season. In fact, the responsibility resting on him should stretch to him play than ever, James filled the right guard position last year and was chosen as an All-Valley guard year he was forced to tackle a likely candidate for the mythical Valley squad again.
He never fails to get through the opening, and is always reliable when interfereer with the ball. Tony halls from Delphos, Kansas, and is 25 years old. He is five feet eight inches tall. He is one ounce of his 190 pounds to tear holes in the Cornhusker line. Watch him go!
Bonnie is playing the game of his life at left end this year. During the summer Reber attended Zuppke's coaching school a few weeks before he began all season on the left side of the line and his playing was much admired by Coach Stehm when that distinguished gentleman was named coach. Bonnie is five feet, eight, is only twenty-two years old, and is proud of the fact that he comes from Kansas and weighs more than once as after his football "K." Besides being a "whiz" on the gridiron Reber has already won two track "Ks" and was chosen captain of the 1916 cinder squad. He holds the University record in the weight events.
"Yep, it's Woody." He is the "scrapiest, fittest, gamest little quarter in the Valley." When no one else can find a hole in his arm, he tackles the ball and just as like as not he will score a touchdown with it. He arranged it so he wouldn't be graduated from the school until muncy last year under that he could work under Ocelti this fall. He weighs 132 pounds and is only five feet seven inches short. He is not old enough to vote, but says his wife has worked in his old one-time town, Alton, Illinois.
JOHN (BONNIE) REBER
WILLIAM RHEA HEATH.
We mean "Speed" Heath. He has one football "K," one track "K," and one girl—has had for some time Speed is that scrapy little right end with the number 8 on his head does not play well in game but he was appended upon. He will be right in the middle of the mix-up today when Rutherford and Chamberlain start those famous end run runs. He hails from Kansas City, is one of years old, weight id. pots oil, and is back next year. He will be back next year.
HARRY M. NIELSEN
"Nilee" is that blond fulback. He is the "guy" that plugs holes in the

line for the others to go through for long gains. He seismology carries out or shows any flashy play, but his steady and consistent line plunging and interference works well forth much more than a comment. He is Natoma and is twenty-one years old. He is five feet and ten, and weighs 185 pounds.
ADRIAN LINDSEY
JOHN HAMMOND
Some punter. Lindsey showed up, well in the kicking end of the game during the past two years, but on account of a bad kick from the Drake game last year, he was unable to finish the season and get his letter. He has a fine big, spiral punt that averages about yards; sometimes it comes at oddity. The team also be efficient in drop-kicking. Adrian ought to be a good player for he comes from that football playing state—Oklahoma. Yes, Kingfisher, Oklahoma. feet, ten pounds 176 ounces and is on one baseball "K" but no football letter—yet.
"Baby John" Hammond needs only little introduction to K. U. people for this little boy. He has been saving his second year on the Kansas team. However, he was not in school last year. He could not resist the temptation to play basketball. He came for another year of football. He is emergency man at any of the three above mentioned positions and can do justice to any player. He will stand and will attend six feet in the air.
JOHN C. FAST
"Jick" Fast, an it wore. And he lives up to his last name, too. He is one of those who must take a trip to Lawrence to watch Kansas play Drake. It happened, however, that Fast was given the charisey-horse at that time. That name "Jick" came along with Fast from Hakee University, where Fast played his feet; at broken field running, at shaking off tacklers and at making touchdowns. He only stands about 10 inches, but every inch is solid muscle.
