LAWRENCE, Kan, Especial Telegram }
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 90 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
Jayhawkcr school.
1t was not luck that won for Nebra ska.
1t was superior foot ball every inch
superior. Kansas was outplayed from
whistle to whistle It,was outkicked, out
charged, outgeneraied, outguessed, out
passed, and simply outclassed, and this
statement speaks much for those men
1Som Lincoln, for never has Nebraska
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, it 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 we're 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.
o. Frank Hero of Day.
In the eyes Of TIE big crowd of Ne
Draska rooters sflsS followed the team
here for this battle, every player is a
hero tonight, but Standing out above the
others, because of HIS sensational work, Is
owen Frank. Left Half Frank has done
wonderful things in foot ball before, but
today he surpassed all other perform
ances. His runs and his charges through
the Kansas lines have hardly ever been
equalled on McCook field. He charged
straight ahead, lodged tacklers when
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 a 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 dashlng work down the field.
IL nj Iat al 70 znnf 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.
Warner, the General.
Jerry Warner ran the eleven with the
finest kind OF generalship. He used The
proper plays at the right moment ami de-
serves much credit for the early scoring.
Potter, who played at ular;er in the
second half chose the rign play and
formed fine interference FOR o. frank on
some of the latter's brilliant runs.
Delaney, the famous Kansas punter, was
outkicked by Gibson of Nebraska, who
sent some of his spirais fifty yards. Di-
laney failed five times at drop kicks from
short distances.
Russell and Purdy were excellent grond
gamers among the backs, Purdy's diving
an brushing with. the ball marks him as
a likely candidate for all Missouri Valley
honors.
Harmon, Swanson and Pearson were
sensational in their work. Mulligan play
ing at right and in the last quarter was
up to the standard of the other Nebraska
ends.
Kansas Line Weak,
Hell, quarter, was the only man TO
show up in good place for the Jayhawk-
ers The Kansas line was weak. The ends
could not diagnose plays, and The backs
failed to come up in good secondary de-
fensive work. SO far outplayed were the
JayhaylSers that they made first downs
only once
All through the contest the Cornhusk-
ers suffered severely from penalties. The
men Of the victorious side did a great
amount of holding.
Five touchdowns gave the CornhusKers
their scores. owen Frank missed one goal
out flour and Herbert Potter kicked
goal from the final touchdown
The gave was only minutes old when
the Cornhuskers charged across the line
for five points. Elliott recovered a tumble
by Coolidge on the Kansas thirty-yard
line. owen Frank and Purdy ran through
the left side OF the line and carriedthe
oval TO the tWo-yard mark. Here Frank
went over and then kicked goal

Within six minutes after the first
