To all followers Of the game It is
certainty that Cole played possum in
meeting Doane, so the showing Of that
game does not startle anybody. Every
body thinks he is laying for the Jay
haWkers, and they are willing to trust in
his ability to turn out a team that will
whip the Lawrence aggregation to

In the contest. Saturday the Cornhuskers

Test for Kennedy.
/ Coach Bert Kennedy OF Kansas of
course, has been pointing HIS men for this
engagement with the Cornhuskers. Just as
Cole has been preparing FOR the game
He has long realized that his team will
be up against one of the best elevens in
the west He also knows that his own
team Is not strong as the aggregation
which defeated the Nebraska men by the
bare margin Of a single touchdown last
4 fall. He must play the best ball of the
fall, and then perhaps will not be able
TO win. The Cornhuskers have a powerful
line, and Kennedy must beat that line II
he gets a victory.
SO far this fall Kansas has not showed
any brand Of football that should push
fear into the. Cornhuskers. 1t was an ex-
treniely weak exhibition that the team
put up against Drake In the games be-
fore that II had hard time getting away
with clean bill. In the contest with
Washburn Saturday II rolled up a fair.
sized score but the opposing aggregation
was extremely weak, having previously
gone down to defeat before minor normal
schools.
The Kansas-Nebraska game will be
stubbornly fought No matter what the
teams have done in the other perform
ances OF the fall, they can be depended
upon to come into this annual clash with

Close Game Expected.
A margin Of a few points will be the
best that either side can get II Kansas
should win-and there is only a remote
possibility Of such being the case-it will
have to do so by the means OF forward
passes and end runs. Kennedy never has
shown a skilled hand in the development
OF the pass and he probably will not
have any startling line OF these plays 10
show on Saturday. Nebraska went against
some well developed passes In the Min
nesota clash and will be prepared, by
reason Of this previous experience, 70
thwart most OF Kennedy's favorite films
The Jayhawkers made good with some OF
the passes In the Drake game but the
Des Moines school had a weak defense
and could not do anything with this kind
OF plays. Nebraska Is strong on the de-
fsnsive, and It would not be surprising 10
see Coles men intercept and break up
many passes.
