Lincoln, Neb, Nov. 1.-the K. U.
football team simply smothered the
Cornhuskers Saturday to the tune of 20
to 5, which score by the way, really
does not indicate how clearly Ken
nedy's charges outplayed the Nebraska
eleven as Kansas advanced the ball on
straight football five yards to the Corn
huskers' one. The Jayhawkers out
kicked, outgeneraled and outclassed the
Cornhuskers at every stage of the
game. To make the defeat all the more
crushing it seems probable that Ne
braska must now cancel her scheduled
game with the Carlisle Indians as that
game to be played in December was on
condition that Nebraska went through
the season without defeat,
While the whole team played grand
football, to Johnson and Dahlene must
go a great deal of the credit. Dahlene
made the two touchdowns, kicked the
two goals and also kicked a goal from
the field, while johnson, Kansas quar-
terback thrilled the thousands in at
tendance time and again with his spec
tacular returning of punts, once run
ming a distance of sixty yards to the
Nebraska three yard line before he was
downed. He also made a beautiful droO
kick in the second half. which is the
first drop kick Kansas has made this
season.
