LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 7.-(Special.)-
lei Saturday Coach Kennedy will take
HIS yet indicated team of pigskln chasers
and travel northward to the camp Of
King Cole and do battle with the strong
Cornhusker team. Kennedy will have his
team trained to the limit and coached to a
point much finer than any time they have
been this season. This will be the first game
the Jawhawkers have played outside of
Lawrence this year. The Nebraskans will be
the first team they ave met over which
they were not confident Of victory. Every
man will go into the game ION his toes
and be in physical condition to keep up
throughout the full seventy minutes. On
the other han Kennedy is hoping to find
in King Coles men an overturned. over
confident team. The Cornhuskers for the
last two weeks have been kept on the apex
of training in order to meet teams OF
greater strength than the Kansans and 1t
stands to reason they will not be in as good
condition when they meet Kansas Saturday
as they were when they faced Ames or
Iowa.
Although Kennedy will take his team to
Lincoln in pink of condition, there is still
a question whether they will be able to
hold up against the N~ebraskans. This
weeks practice was badly broken Into by
many Of the men being away to vote. Mon
day and Tuesday were holidays and many
of the men were home for the weeks end.
Kennedy and Mosse returned from the
Iowa game with only tales Of woe, though
by no means discouraged. When asked
what he thought OF Kansas prospects
against either team Coach Kennedy seemed
dlsinclined to talk, but insisted that Kan
sas had a chance against either team
Mosse seemed more optomistic and SAID
kansas should be able to hold its W
against Iowa IL they cam out of the Ne
braska game in fair condition"
