NEBRASKA today gave It's oldest and
most honorable rival, the University OF
Kansas, the worst defeat that any Jay
hawker eleven has suffered during the
last ten years. The score OF 20 to shows
only how effectively the Cornhuskers
played. The game will go down in Corn
husker foot BAH annals as the cleanest
cut victory Of such proportions that has
ever been achieved against the men of the
Jayhawker school.
1t was not luck that won for Nebraska.
1t was superior foot ball, every inch
superior. Kansas was outplayed from
whistle to whistle. It,was outklcked, out
charged, outgeneraied, outguessed, out
passed, and simply outclassed, and this
statement speaks much for those men
fSom Lincoln for never has q Nebras ska
eleven worked so smoothly. so precisely
- the crew that went onto McCook field
this afternoon and played the Missouri
valley champions, and annexed the
coveted title to leading honors in this
section.
From tackle to tackle the line held like
q steel brace when on the defense. Then,
on the offense, 1t broke through not one
man, but sevral, and tackld Kansas play
ers before they could get their bearings
and be off with the ball. 1t was Won
derful aggressive play that the forwards
exhibited, and they deserve all the credit
that can be given, them. The backs were
terrors in carrying the ball and the Kan
sas spectators weTe astounded by the
hard plunging ana terrific playing ball
carriers. They even dove on for good
gains after being tackled and never were
stopped with ease.

wonderful things in foot ball before, but
today he surpassed all other perform

necessary and reeled off many runs OF
thirty and forty yards.
e. Frank, brother of owen, was another
Of the striking stars. One of his best
pieces Of work was a run OF sixty-five
yards for touchdown. He took the ball
ON q punt and behind great interference,
charged through a broken field and past
the last chalk mark.
The Nebraska ends always were sensa-
tional in their work. Chauner did some of
his usual excellent play in getting down
under pupnts. Lofgren at right end also
figured in dashing work down the field.
He and Chauner always kept their wings
from being turned Cor gains.
Captain Shonka displayed the work that
promises to earn him place on the all
western eleven. Elliott, center, gave fine
exhibition of offensive play and went
through to check many plays.
