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 penchant 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 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 fayahw territory. It had seen an all-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 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 alive with autos all morning. By two o'clock this evening we arrived to McCook Field and hundreds of cars were "turned out to pasture" on the golf links while their owners witnessed the bir 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 former home. Faternity parties banquets caused the houses to be brushed 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 Strikehole roller but that seem to be a harder job than mumboose. 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 stunts. Anyone who suffers 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, and in the photo up did not subtract from the prowess of the Huskers. Cook, Gardiner, Shields, Abbott, and Reese shine among the stars at the end of the season when 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 Gerry gave away a lot of 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 changing positions to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably kee him out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was removed 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 in the end with it in every play and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were twice better than counterattacking but with little success. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got v Wrong.
Kansas got off on the wrong foo 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 was caught by side and Kansas gained possession. 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
through left tackle paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tackle for first down. Chamberlin went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two yards and back down and five yards to go for a touchdown the Cochuskers 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 behind on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
Chamberlain Goes Over
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 line scored 14 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 ground. Nebraska 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线. Nebraska had 17 yards to go and only two yards behind the line. A forward pass counted 28 yards.
28-Yard Pass
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 end zone. 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 Hott outfield touched it. But the fourth down Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard line to Cook who returned to the center of the field.
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 pounding to the Nebraska 49-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 39-yard line.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
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 ten yards. The last run was caught 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 to the tumble 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. He scored for the towedown and Mocker 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 between two teams. But the Nebraska quarter was down on the 88-yard line and the half ended as Nebraska made another first down.
Kansas Tries Passing
Kansas recovered a fumbled punt on Nebraska's 30 yard line but lost the ball on downs, prompting one of these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornuherk team. After a punt, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but it sank, and Coruherk 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 wise to the passing game and intercepted an 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 started a wide receiver. Nebraska interference could not be touched. A try for goal failed.
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 attack with a solid rush and had planted the ball behind the posts 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 Spirit of Calvary
When he blood runs warm beneath the furts and heavy coats, it is a long, long ways to Belgium. But a pinched, white, burning-eyed kiddie tranping the frrested 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.
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 Orand where the blood runs warm and young folks laugh, but where—it is very far to Belgium?
This year the committee is going to send another ship and it has made even better arrangements for handling and distributing its offering. The Dol'ar 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.

Book Exchange May Be Stepping Stone To Selling At Little Over Cost
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.
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 when they wish an official or hardback 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 she shall be rewarded regularly as she We have not decided what the business will be carried or in Fraser."
Mr. Ire'and is in favor of adopting
