MIGHTY HUSKERS WIN Kansas Fought Hard But Could Not Stop Terrible Onslaught of Invaders
They came, they saw and they conquered. Stiehl's squad of twenty five came; they saw Ocett'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 northern team had won a game in 1919 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 pitching steel machine and in doing so put up one of the stubbornest fights ever offered in the face of such try.
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 alone with autos all morning. By two o'clock this evening they 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 are 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 Stoller roller but that seems to be one of the reasons with A Rutherford and a Chamberlain and a Corey fighting on team there is little the other team can do, especially when the other side has no such stars. Anyone of these men must be耐瘁 on an ordinary team but within 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 Gunderson gave one of the防守 until they were unable to fight any longer. Both men were taken from the battle injured, probably for the rest of the season. Rebeet the same fate while charging to get the man with the ball, and Heath played well at the other end. His knee will probably keeep phim 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 every one of the players. In every place and continued to do so when Wood replaced him at quarter and he took Holt's half position. Forward passes were tried and little plunges occurred with little success. It was just a plain case of overpowered.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1915
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 but was caught off by Kansas gained five yards by the 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
through left tack's paved the way for Corey's twelve yard gain on a tackle swing through right tack for first down. Chamberlain 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 were gassed by Sisehm'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 Kansas line first allowed Caley to Octoberain 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 recalled 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 on them, a forward pass counted 28 yards.
A March to The Goal
Chamberlain Goes Over
The second quarter opened with a twenty-yard off of half tacklers until he crossed the Jayhawk goal. Moser kicked goal. On the kick-off following this Gillespie kicked only ten yards into Mosers arms on the fifty yard line. Another six yards into Moser's 25-yard line where Nebraska fumbled in the next play and Lindsey recovered. Reber and Hott then made eleven yards for first downs. Lindsey and Gillespie lost four yards out. Hott then scored on the fourth down Lindsey punted to Nebraska's 35-yard线 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. Giliespec lost three yards. Nielsen gained a yard before Lindsey punted 38 yards to Cook who returned it 18. An eight yard gain caused a fumble but a Husker recovered the oval and a first down was made on the next play on the Kansas 3 yard line for a fourth down. Gardiner then took it around right end for the touchdown and Moser kicked goal.
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.
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. But the Nebraska quarter was 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 midfield and started some passes. Lindsay to Gillespie netted ten yards and another to Holt gained eight yards. But Gardner got wise to the passing game and scored a Nebaska 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 downhill Nebraska 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 the touchdowns. 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 in and Cook 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 as Rutherford hid 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 lineup and summary:
Couldn't Stop Drive
Nebraska 33 Kansas 0.

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.
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 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.
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 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 have been 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. U. students. If this idea we hope to pop up a large retail store. We have not decide where it will be located but at the start the business will be curried 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. That step began with the discussion that 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 Bolt, Topeka, and Mrs. T. H. Doran, Topeka, was appointed by the Board of Visitors last year and to consider questions raised in the report. The Board of Alumni Directors appointed Mr. Topeka 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 semester. The board must set up a situation 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; Ioa; James L. Wilson, *William Smith*, '76; Stockton; Lizzie Wilhelm, *Smith*, '76; 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 ten members. Two of them are the association's affairs. The board includes Sheffield Ingalls,

KANSAS TO USE OPEN GAME?
Practice of Week Indicates Passes Will Figure in Today's Offensive
Coach "Beau" Olcott *Jayhawks* will attempt to do something this afternoon which six teams of the west have failed to do this year, beat Nebraska. The Kansans have been working all season with its great view and as a team it is not until the Jayhawks are stripped of feathers or "the cornhuskin" is 0°F.
"Open play" is the phrase by which the season's work was described at the beginning of the season. But by the time the first three games over the season had been abandoned, it was the team in action on the offensive today will reveal the fact that it was not abandoned. In fact, it has been played more than ever since the Sooner tangle two weeks ago and it is a safest play will be the characteristic the joyhawkier play this afternoon.
K. U.'s Charging Captain
The outcome of the little mix-up out on the field this afternoon will depend on the ability of the players to remember their dribbling in Olcott, has been improving his pupils come "visitin'" but the Huskers may florulate the pupils. The end runs of Chamberlain and that other ground gainer, Rutherford, should be met with an opposite otherness off their feet. The Kansas backfield men are good at offense.
Some changes in the line-up will be noticeable to the followers of the game in the early part of the season. For instance, early this morning the Jayhawker coach said that would probably treat them at quarterback half. Holt would fill the right half position. Wood, Strothers, Lawnell, Fast and Reedy will not be in the game for the first kick~off but will get into the fracas. The team should shoulder, which he received in scrimmage Wednesday night, is about well.
On the crimson and blue side of the field there is no thought of overconfidence although every local Kansan has felt more confident. Overconfidence has been lacking in all Kansas-Nebraska tangles for so long that it is a complete stranger. But even if you don't expect to outlive and secretly think that Kansas has the fight to win.

HUSKERS EXPECT HARD GAME
Stiehm Comes Expecting Stiff Battle for Missouri Valley Championship
The Cormhuskers are here to win. They have won from Kansas—for five straight years. Now they want to win again and the seven hundred leather-lunged noise makers who arrived in Lawrence this morning are going to tell the assembled crowd on the field today that they will win.
But the big man at the Nebraska helm has not that same confident air about him that these above mentioned rooters have. In fact, this gent'eman is looking for one of the hardest games that has been played. He has been playing faithfully over them and winning all season pointing them for the jamboree today.
New plays and old ones have been taught the Cornhuskers behind closed gates. The K. U. plays were used by the freshmen in acrimgate against the regulars in old plays, were no good—or Stiehm had not taken them down in his note book right. Forward passes and trick plays have been attempted and many of them will be put into use today. The players in one factor which will be the most effective in making gains. Not the backfield alone for we must also note that the man on the left end is one of the best "ball-hunners" in the valley. They need to run for his long and runs and powerful driving power.
As for the play of play to be used today, the Nebraska offense will be built un around Captain Rutherford at left half and Chamberlin at left end. End runs and the three men are supposed to be good for the offense almost any time. But Corey, the big Husker tackle, is not to be denied his shot of the honors. A tackle swing around left end or through left tackle with the interference which his teammates offer will bring some more than ever from the seven hundred leather bands behind the Nebraska band.
To sum up the Nebraska attack and really get the right idea of Stienh's own plans, the best way would be to quote Jumbo himself:
"Watch us smother those ends," said Coach Stiehl after the Drake-Kanssa game. "Kansas has a strong flicker till you see our men get around them."
