Football, Kansas vs. Nebraska.
This week upon McCook field, is a scene of the hardest practice of the year in preparation for the battle with the Cornhuskers Saturday. The visiting team is our worthy rival subjected to the same rules of elegibility as Kansas, the contest will be one where outward advantages are equal. Nebraska in the words of Coach Mosse, has no stronger team than last year though her work at Minnesota showed her to be one of the greatest teams in the Missouri Valley. Still the verdict in the minds of the Kansas students is far from defeat. In the face of the same gloomy prospect last year the shouts of 500 loyal voices combined with a team whose slogan was "victory," we startled the football enthusiasts of the Middle West with our victory. Saturday we will be upon a friendly ground and instead of 500 we will have 3500 voices to cheer and by this cheering help to win. Every loyal student in school should come Saturday and shout "Rock Chalk" until he is hoarse. Let the past be forgotten or if not let the sting it gave renew our determination to win Saturday. "United we stand, divided we fall."
The Gazette has been chewing the rag for several years now about the football business, and its chewing has bought it nothing. This paper can stand it all right when its home team wins; it can even stand it when the home team is defeated, although that is the beginning of the trouble. If it is a square game, then the fellows take their chances. But when it becomes a gambler's game, with men hired to "throw" things, then there should be a halt called. The Gazette does not know that men were paid to throw the game. It does not charge that they were. It merely makes the suggestion. If the managers of athletics have any
interest in the matter they might take a day off and investigate.—Lawrence Gazette
The foregoing editorial appeared a few evenings ago in a Lawrence paper. The editor took advantage of the most subtle means of injuring the Kansas team and coach. He dared not charge or claim to know anything but merely suggested. Such a "suggestion" did not come from the better citizens of Lawrence we feel sure and we are loath to think that any player who fought with the desperation that our boys did Saturday could be charged or"suggested"'as having stooped so low as to sell the honor and glory of his school by even the worst thug in Lawrence. Yesterday and today the down town article has been the talk of the University and thus far we have the first student to meet who does not resent the infamous charge.
The following extracts taken from an editorial in the Lawrence World are the sentiments of the Kansan.
"Individually and as a team, the players this year have done brilliant work. In arranging the schedule for such a team it is necessary, if we are to have sportsmanly athletics, to seek games with teams where the issue is doubtful, and with such a schedule it is absurd to complain because the team does not win every game.
"As for the Washburn game, making no complaints and taking the medicine that is administered, there is yet much to the credit of the 'varsity squad. It played real football all the way, fighting as stubbornly after it became certain

that it could not win as it had done when it led in the score. There is no "streak of yellow" in a team that can go down to an unavoidable defeat fighting like victors. But more than that, the Kansas team is playing by the strictest kind of eligibility rules while Washburn is not. Washburn put into the game last Saturday one man who is playing his sixth year in college football and either one or two who are playing their fifth year. Such use of experienced men is impossible under the rule enforced here. Furthermore, K. U. adheres strictly to the freshman rule, while Washburn does not pretend to observe it.
"The avowed partisan of a football team who is not still a partisan when the team goes down in defeat had better, for the team's, sake, not be its partisan. The student who, because of the Washburn defeat, is not now willing to get out and root with redoubled energies for victory over Nebraska next Saturday is not worthy to be a student in this institution. There is nothing the mater with Kansas U., save a few honorable scars; and it is up to the students and the other friends of the University to put a stop to all knocking and unite their efforts behind the team. For Kansas not only has a team that can play good football, but that is, in the highest possible sense, the right kind of a team."
Good Words from Washburn.
We can not say enough concerning the character of the K. U. crowd that attended the game Saturday. They were by far the most civilized bunch that ever visited Washburn field. They came like gentlemen, acted like gentlemen, and left like true sports. They didn't act like rowdies, they didn't play "Nearer My God to Thee" when a man was laid out, they didn't stop yelling when defeat stared them in the face and after the game they admitted that Washburn had a great team.—Washburn Review.
