LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 9,1907.
NUMBER 16
Jayhawkers Lost Hard Battle 16=6
CORNHUSKERS WON GAME IN FIRST HALF-- WERE OUTPLAYED IN SECOND HALF.
Forward Pass Made Great Gains for Nebraska--First Touchdown Made on Fluke--Milton Fell on Ball Behind Line, Scoring for Kansas.
Bruised, crippled and with three star men out of the game the Jayhawkers battled for sixty minutes this afternoon in one of the hardest fought gridiron scraps ever seen on McCook and although defeated by a score of 16 to 6, showed by their playing that they were the equals of the husky Cornhuskers.
From the blow of the refree's whistle it was a fight to the finish and it seemed at the opening of the game to the 4,000 rooters who filled every available inch of space on McCook that the Kansans would repeat the performance of last year but a score made on a fluke by Nebraska after twenty minutes of play seemed for a few minutes to disconcert the plucky Kansans and the Nebraskans were
MILTON.
Who made the downward for Kansas
a allowed another touchdown in the first half. These two touchdowns together with a field goal in the second half was the limit of Nebraska's score.
The only department of the game in which Kansas was outclassed was in the forward pass on which the Cornhuskers depended for all their long gains. On punting Forter had his man bested all through the game, frequently punting ten or twelve yards farther than the Nebraska kicker. In generalship, in holding for downs and in handling of the ball the Kansans were not outmatched by Cole's men and although only two regular men were in the Kansas backfield Kansas repeatedly carried the ball for good gains past the heavyweight Nebraskans.
in favor of neither side it was that the misplay occured that changed the odds of victory and more than anything else was responsible for the victory for Nebraska. On a short kick by Nebraska the ball bounced over Porters' head and was caught in the arms of Harvey who scored a touchdown. This unearned score seemed for a few minutes to take the ginger out of the Jayhawkers. Taking advantage of the temporary weakness Nebraska, by forward passes and heavy line bucking succeeded in getting the ball to the Kansas goal posts again and Minor carried the ball over. From that time on the story was different.
After the two teams had been playing a desperate game for 20 minutes with the advantages
played a great game in the line and was always in the scrimmage. Coulter, who had taken it upon himself to fill Angney's place at quarter, played a fast game that surprised the crowd.
In the second half the Ne-
Rice in spite of a crippled shoulder stayed in until almost the close of the game when Stephenson replaced him.
The star men for the Nebraskites were Cooke, Weller and Minor.

braskans succeeded in kicking their first field goal although they had failed on several trials. In this half Kansas pushed the Cornhuskers down the field until within easy reach of the goal posts and then Porter tried for a field goal. The ball was caught by Cooke, who dropped it, and Milton fell on the ball back of the goal line. Stevenson kicked goal. This enced the scoring 16 to 6.
The sensational work of the game was done in the second half by Porter, who several times went around the Cornhusker ends for twenty or thirty yard runs. Carlson, a new man at center, handled the ball as an old timer. Rouse and White played a consistent game in both halves. Time and time again Reed tore great holes in the Nebraska breastworks. Caldwell was one of the star tacklers and nailed a number of fleet Nebraskans. Crowell
