CORNHUSKER VICTORY
OWEN FRANK'S TOUCHDOWN IN THE FOURTH QUARTER WON A 6 TO 0 GAME-KANSAS'GREAT DEFENSE SAVED A LARGER SCORE.
Nebraska's Charges Were Stopped Three Times Inside of Kansas Five Yard Line-Tries at Field Goal Unsuccessful for Both Teams and Forward Pass Failed to Gain-Six Thousand People
Saw the Game.
For the first time in three years the Jayhawkers have gone down to defeat before the football warriors of Nebraska, and the streets of Lawrence are given over tonight to the celebration of the rooters who accompanied the victorious foes to Lawrence. A touchdown and goal by Frank in the third quarter gave Nebraska six points. Though Kansas was within striking distance of the Nebraska goal several times, Heil was unable to place the needed field goals which would have scored for the Crimson and Blue.
The victory was bought at the expense of every iota of strength and skill which Nebraska possessed. Three times the Cornhuskers were hurled back from the Kansas 5-yard line, losing the ball on downs, and thrice Heil kicked out of immediate danger. Twice O. Frank tried for field goal, but the ball went wide each time. The Cornhuskers' belly that they would have no trouble in crossing the Kansas goal line kept them from trying for field goal several times when they were in easy distance.
At the outset the game looked like an easy victory for Nebraska. The Kansas line did not hold and the Cornhuskers made consistent gains through it and around the ends. But the brilliant defensive work of Kansas came into evidence when the opposing team had worked down inside the 10-yard line. Three times the Nebraskans lost the ball, twice on downs and once on a fumble, when it looked as if nothing could prevent a score.
Not once in the first and second quarter did Kansas get into Nebraska territory. Nebraska rushed the ball near the Kansar goal in the first few minutes of play. When Kansas held, Heil's punts were too short to take the ball really out of danger and the jounging Cornhuskers would resume their fight down the field.
Nebraska clearly outplayed Kansas on offense. It was the brilliant defensive work of Kennedy's men which kept the score low. Though fighting desperately every inch, the team seemed unable to stop the Nebraska advance, but at the crucial moment the line would take a brace under the shadow of the goal posts and the enemy would be hurled back
In the third quarter the Kansas team took the offensive and kept the play in Nebraska territory. As gains could not be made consistently, however, a try for field goal was made when opportunity offered.
The desperate resistance of the Kansans was resumed in the third quarter when Nebraska again asumed the offensive, but this time it was unable to keep the opponents from scoring.
After the Nebraska touchdown the play was kept near the middle of the field, with a slight advantage to the Kansans. When Kansas had the ball, desperate chances were taken with forward passes and open plays in the hope that a lucky play might give the Kansans the coveted chance to score.
Both teams had the most magnificent support of their rooters ever seen on McCook field. The Kansas cheering was kept up until the last minute of play and was the best heard in recent years The weather was the first real football weather experienced this year and the tingle in the air contributed to the snappiness of the game and the enthusiasm of the six thousand spectators.

Claim a Touchdown for Kansas
Stanl a Touchdown for Kansas.
A peculiar question appeared in today's game when Johnson kicked off over the Nebraska goal line after the Cornhuskers' touch down. The ball struck inside the field and then bounced over the fence. Tod Woodbury ran outside the gate and recovered the ball and touched it down. Referee Masker called it a touchback and ordered the ball put in play on the 25-yard line. The other officials were unanimous in their disapproval of the referee's decision and declared that a touchdown should be allowed. They will appeal to the national rules committee.
Coard Reed said, "We have been practicing kicking the ball over the line and falling on it, for a week. That is the reason Kennedy said we might score in the first five minutes of play. The referee made ground rules, he said, while the game was going on."

TYPHOID CASES WERE "IMPORTED"
ONLY ONE STUDENT TOOK DISEASE IN LAWRENCE.
Report Prepared by Prof. M. A. Barber Shows Lawrence Cases Were Confined to Small Area.
A careful analysis of the typhoid fever situation in Lawrence, which was completed yesterday by Professor M. A. Barber and three members of the sophomore medical class in bacteriology, shows that the students of the University need have little fear of further trouble with the disease. There have been twelve cases of the fever in Lawrence this fall, four of the patients being University people. The investigation has shown beyond a reasonable doubt that three of the University cases were contracted outside of Lawrence.
The first case was reported August 12. Six other cases have occurred since within three blocks of the first one. Five of them were in the immediate vicinity of and down hill from the first, indicating that the infection may have been carried by the drainage. Another case a few blocks west is within easy "fly flight" of the first. One imported case occurred the Lawrence cases was outside in North Lawrence. Only one of the area affected by the first case.
Except for three imported University cases, the fever did not appear south of Berkeley street, indicating that conditions are good in the student district.
Professor Barber and the medical students have been busy for some time collecting the data from which their report was prepared. The information was obtained mostly from the county health officer and the physicians in charge of the cases.
Professor Barber said yester day that there was little danger of the spread of the disease if people in the neighborhood of a case screen aginast flies and exercise serupulous care with the water and food supply.
