LINCOLN Neb. Nov. L--CspeciaL)-
-Four days Of actual work are left for cole
TO prepare for the Jayhawkers. No time
was lost Monday night in light practice.
The varsity was given a thorough work
out, starting with signal practice and end
ing with an hour Of fast scrimmage
Then Cole chased the regulars around
the field for the windup. 1t was nearly
dark before the practice was over. Al
though the weather was too warm for fast
work, the varsity showed a complete re-
versal OF form from the Doane game. o.
Frank, Rathbone and Warner tore through
the scrubs for long gains, carrying the
ball with ease and forming the best in
reference Of the year.
When the scrubs attempted TO pierce the
line, they found stonewall and except for
an occasional sprint around the end, the
first year men were unable to advance
the ball. The offense and defense is still
crude in many features of the play Cole
will endeavor TO perfect the formations al
ready learned and no new shifts will be
undertaken this week.
Kansas scout on Hand.
Cornhuskers are considerably amused
over the report from Kansas that the
Jayhawkers are doing no scouting
"Tubby' Reed. who helped to wrestle the
championship from Nebraska two years
ago, and who is assisting Kennedy to whip
the kansans into shape, was on the side
lines last Saturday. Reed was too talka-
tive on the train to keep his visit a secret,
according to reports, and the Nebraska
coach was aware OF his presence.
The Jayhawlters scout got very little
satisfaction out OF his visit for Cole did
not permit Minor to uncork a single play
Reed, It is claimed showed a passenger
on train small book in which he had
| the Nebraska men written in the proper
1 lineup. As the formations would change.
Reed said that he was to note the posi-
/ ton taken by each man.
| Recently the Lawrence papers denied that
/ Kansas had sent out scouts, but, on the
! contrary, insisted that It was not possible
! that Nebraska was doing such a thing"
! Cole will not make any prediction as to
the outcome Of the big battle with the rival
JayhRwkers. The showing made by Kan
sas against Washburn and the dlsappolnt-
! ing work Of the Cornhuskers against
Doane has boosted the Jayhawker stock q
per cent.
JRyhawk Money Uncovered.
/ The direct result of the games Saturday
was felt Monday in Lincoln, when Jay
hawker sports sent 500 to the management
of the Windsor hotel to place at even
money on Kansas. The Cornhuskers are
apparently afraid to back the team, for
the money remained there all day without
any takers Excu-sionists to Lawrence
Will carry several hundred dollars with
them TO be placed at odds, with Kansas a.
the favorite. The excursion is progressing
nicely and estimates are made that close
to 400 students will accompany the team or
the invasion Of Jayhawker land.
To eliminate the danger from injuries or
the hard field, Cole chased the varsity &c
the farm Monday, where the practice was
secret and will do so on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. On Thursday a rally
win be held in the morning and then tn,
varsity will practice in the evening on IN,
athletic grounds.
The squad is apparently in good physica
shape, and unless there are additional In
juTies will be In superb fighting trim fo
the big game of the year.
