NUMBER
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 Oloot's offering and they conquered him. The team supported for the fifth consecutive time. It's true it cost them a little effort but it was not much effective resistance that Kansas could overcome and strongest bombs 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 number of points was 112 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. It had seen a strong Kansas State team in doing so put up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of much 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 alike with autos all morning. By two o'clock increasing mass helped to McCook hold hands 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 up 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 festivals. Fraternity parties at 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 Stieb voller but that seems to be an easy task with the Winthrops. 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 of the other teams has no 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 Gordon gave way 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 forward. He met the man with the ball, and He played well at the other end. His knee will' probably keephim out of the remaining game. Keeling' old injury was renewed and Anderson 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, and continued in every half and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quartar and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tied to him but with little success. It was just a plain case of being overpowered.
K. U. Got x 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 Lindsey to punt from behind his goal. A Cornhusker attempted to block the punt but was caught off side and Kansas gained the pennant. Another punt ended with an understory 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
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915.
through left tack's paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tack for first down. Chamberlin went around the end for four yards and Rutherford followed with two yards to go 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 was gained by Silehm's men and on the fourth a long forward pass failed and Kansas took the ball.
A 28-Yard Pass
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 knees 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 tied five yards but a throw 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 had 17 yards to go and only two downs were made in a forward pass counted 28 yards.
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 94-yard line. Two plays ended the quarter on the Kansas 93-yard line.
Chamberlain Goes Over
The second quarter opened with a two-way win for 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 arms on the fifty yard line in ball against Kansas 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Holt 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. Gilleslope 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 a first down was made on the next campus defensive downs put the ball on the Kansas 3 yard线 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 brought the tempter to Nebraska quarter off the 88-yard line and the half ended as Nebraska made another first down.
Early in the second half Kansas recovered a Husker tumble in midfield and started some passes. Lindsey to Gillett spewed ten yards and another to Holt gained two yards but Gardner touched the passing line 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 Chamberlain the ball on the wide end yard line and a wide end line netted a touchdown. Nebraska's interference could not be touched. A try for goal failed.
Kansas Tries Passing
Nebraka 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 ended in a few minutes Rutherford 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 line-up and summary:
Kansas recovered a fumbled punt on Nebraska's 30 yard line but lost the ball on downs. It was 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 the ball sank. Cook returned it thirty-five yards.

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 kiddle 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 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 Oread 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 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.

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 doublest 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 have 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 all K.J. students. If this idea is well and proper we shall start a regular store. We have not decided where it will be located but at the start the business will be carried on in Fraser."
Mr. Ireland 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 cause of the Chancellor will run the office of the Cancellor and the University Senate.
A special committee composed of M. E. Pearson, Kansas City, Kan., Robert Bolea, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topkea, was appointed 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 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 the needs of students and report annually 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, Junction City; Lizzie Williams Thomas, '76, Stockton; Scott H., Perkins, Lawrence; C. L. Davidson, '81-87, Wichita.
At the head of the association is the Board of Directors composed of ten members, which has general responsibility for the Board. The board includes Sheffield Institute.

A mark for rapid playing that aspiring teams can stand off and shoot at for some time to come was made by the Kansas team in one of the games of the game. In another 90 plays made in the 30 minutes, according to the newspaper reports, the second half was even speedier, as 105 plays were made in each half. Gump, one of the Kansas halfbacks, carried the ball; for eleven consecutive downs, making a gain on each play.
