MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN
Kansas Fought Hard But Could
Not Stop Terrible On-
slaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stiehl's squad of twenty-five came; they saw Olcott'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 that game ended in 1912 when the Minnesota Gophers won a game by a one point margin.
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 team, the Texans, in doing so put up one of the stubborn fights ever offered in the face of such odds.
A Game Worth Seeing
The crowd was large. Coming from all *a* 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 weekend, the cars arrived 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 was in order; at even student's room as a 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 Stiem roller but that seems to be impossible for mowing. 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 stars. Anyone of the three must accomplish 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 Andy Garrison were one of the current players 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 kee him out of the remaining game. Keeling's old injury was renewed and he had 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 play. The team worked in every play and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and played plunged into a pile with little loss. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got y 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 Lindsey to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhuskuser attempted to block the punt but five yards off side of penalty line, then punched five yards by penalty route. 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
around 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 ended up 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 were gained by SidEMh's men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
Reber was downed behind the line and on the next play Lindsey punted to the Nebraska 35-yard line where Caley was downden in his tracks. Three plays through the penalty arc 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 play Lindsey punted to the 40-yard line to Caley who was downed by three Kansas. An end run failed and a pass was blocked eight yards behind the line. Nebraska had 17 yards to go and only two defenses had a forward pass counted 28 yards.
A 28-Yard Pass
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 Moser arms at the ball and Moser pass put the ball on Kansas 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Ho!t then made eleven balls for first down. Lindsay and Gillespie lost four yards out of Ho!t but 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
An end run line 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. 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 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 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 received it 16. Cook scored, 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 fourth down. Cook grounded for the touchdown and Mosser kicked goal.
In the remaining few minutes of play in this quarter Cock won the crowd's appause by leaping into the air at breakneck speed to pull down a long pass while carrying the temperature up the-Nebraska quarter downed on the 38-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 mid-field 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 a pass from 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 45-yard line where he started a wide receiver. 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. One of these if it had been held would have meant a touchdown as it was past the whole Cornhuser team. After a punt, out Lindsey attempted a drop kick but it was blocked. Cornhuser cooked 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 Rutherford hid 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 then 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 Groff
C.-Moser Keeling
R.G.-Abbott Reed

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.
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.
The Spirit of Calvary
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.
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.
Registerstar Geo. O. Foster is receiving contributions to the Dollar Christmas fund here on Mount Orread 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 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 who wish to exchange old or used books. We use 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 share the costs 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. What steps will be taken to depend upon the action of the Chancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Blear, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topkea, was appointed in 1963 to chair the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed Mrs. Orkish, Forkhis, and Mr. Vance vacancy. 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 and attend seminars on national citation 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; Junction City; Lizzie Williams Hillam, 76; McKinney, Jim; Thomas Woodbury; pict.; Mrs. L. H. Perkins, Lawrence; C. L. Davidson, '77-81, Wichita.
At the head of the association is the Board of Directors composed of ten members, the other six are chairmen, and the associate affairs. The board includes the Sheffield Inglis.
VALLEY RUNNERS TO COMPETE
Kansas, Ames and Missouri Cross Country Teams Will Decide Championship
The cross country runners of the Missouri Valley will decide the championship for 1915 after afternoon before the football teams take the stage. They will leave the field about two o'clock in order that they may finish a few minutes before the game starts.
In interest in this brand of sport teams to be lagging this year among the Conference schools and only three teams will compete. Kansas, Ames and Missouri are the only entries that have been received. No statement has been given out by the other schools why they have not entered teams. Nebraska, according to Coach Steinhm, has no interest in cross country running and never has a team.
The advance dope in this meet looks like a Kansas victory. Captain Rodkey, of the Kansas squat, at present, has won it in this sport and he says he will hold it after today. But the record will be several seconds lower

than formerly unless the change in weather has some effect on the Kansas star. Grady, Rodkey's running partner, has been following right in the steps of the Jayhawk leader and is good for a second in the meet today. State'er, Baltz, Howland and Groene are the other Kansas entries and these men expect to finish in a group among the first in the race.
Ames has the squad most feared by the Kansans. This squad defeated Missouri on the former's course at the time of the Ames-Missouri game. Three of the Aggie runners took the first three places in the meet and their other three men covered short distance behind. The time for this meet was slow, which is only one second slower than the Missouri Valley game, which was established by Rolley on the Ames course a year ago. Then the Ames men were not pushed to a great extent, so Rodkey's tribe have a just cause to worry.
The Missourians are weak in cross country running—they admit it. They also have shown themselves to be weak in football—so far. But their cross country team has failed to show the class of former years. Captain Bennie Kline and his brother Virgil' Kline, two veterans, are the best time makers the Tigers have to offer. These two will be up with the

leaders in the race but since six places count the Missouri score is liable to be large. Beside these two the other Missourians are Lange, Fowler and Symon.
The method of scoring cross country meets is different from that of any other sport. The object of the team is to get the least number of points possible, and the first place counts one point and the following places counts corresponding to number of the place. This makes twenty-one points the lowest possible score which any team can make with the required six men.
A GOOD YEAR FOR KANSAS
After a Disastrous Season, Jayhawkers Come Back Under Olcott's Instruction
Aside from the one little incident of October 30, the Jayhawkey season has been a great success. And so far as Conference games are concerned it has been a "bowling success. The only difference is that hometown victory was that it re-victorious season.
It took the Kansas rooters a little while to find out, too. With seven K men in the line-up Kansas was able to defeat William Jewell early 20 to 8 by the use of straight football. Coach "Beau" Olcott had promised open play for the season but none was used in this game. The next week Kansas put up a strong argument against the Emporia. Normals and took the league over of a 21 to 3 score, then lost even play. The Drake Bulldogs followed a week later but the Kansas score was larger than ever. The count was 30 to 7.
Last year's showing would give anyone a chance to expect such a showing. Then, too, a new coach was at the helm. No one knew an eastern counterpart with a west-ern team and especially in his first year with them.
The couch.
About this time the Kansas squad had to get the confidence of the Kansas rooters. Open play had not been seen and the report then went out that Olcott had abandoned the idea.
1068 The Angles put up a strong fight against the squadrangle Olcott left with Bard but were downded 19 to 7 after fracta. Oklahoma then appeared to take the Kansans to a "cleaning". It looked like a Jayhawker victory after the first half but the Jinx intervened. Open play appeared, and Coach Olcott showed a line of forward passes.
Washburn then fell before the "subs" 41 to 0 and the regulars were saved for the big game today.
