BOTH JAYHAWK AND
HUSKER WILL LOSE.
Bear Dope Factory in Both Camps
Working Overtime and Neither
Team Has Chance.
KANSAS PULLS HooDoo STUFF

The hush before the battle. the lull
before the storm. finds the rival camps
OF Cornhusker and Jayhawk out bear
dope in a manner that would make A.
Alonzo Stagg. the worlds greatest abb
artist. turn a lurid green so envious
would he be. According to the dope
nmerEing from the two camps, both
teams put together couldn't even give
Yale a battle and that is going some.
McCook field of Lawrence. Kan, will
be the scene of two horrible slaughters
according to the aforementioned bear
stuff. Nebraska will get licked by at
least fourteen touchdowns and Kansas
will be trimmed by at least eleven. At
the time of going to press stiehm was
two columns ahead of Olcott, but Olcott
is gaining fast and by the time the
referees whistle blows the race Of the
pessimists should be dead heat.
"RumOrs" Are Circulated.
The Cornhuskers landed in Kansas City
last night to spend the evening and
forthwith a bunch Of 'rumors" were
started.
No. /. Chamberlain will not play II
was said Guy has bum leg and there
was no hope for him to start and that

Kansas wouldn't find It out.
No. 2. Rutherford Is ell crippled up.
A couple Of undertalers were said to be
following Dick all over Kansas City,
they considered him such good business
prospect.
No. 8. The Cornhusker line is a bunch
Of holes.

Kansas Is right behind the Huskers
in this line OF stuff and to read the
Kay See papers which will be published
for the well known public to read this
morning. would make a guy think OF the
European war The sporting pages will
reek with somber tales OF fatalities.
Kansas Ia HOOdOoed.
But Kansas has got one on Nebraska.
Kansas Is pulling superstition stuff in
the bear dope. Give it a listen.
Looking back into the dark ages the
records show that the Cornhuskers vera
victorious over the Jayhawk for seven
uninterrupted years from 1897 TO 1903.
The last victory Kansas enjoyed over
Nebraska was in 1909 when Tommy john
son broke away for an eighty-yard run
and the solitary touchdown of the game.
In 1910. II. u. Is and II, Nebraska has
defeated Kansas. Five times in a row.
Thus Kansas followers gloomily predict
Nebraska victories in 1915 and 1916 before
the spell IL broken.
You can't beat this line OF reasoning
so It looks like Stiehm's pesslmism is
useless.
It has just been learned the Kansas
coach is a gent named Olcott. His first
name Is Herman. He wears A '.Y' On
his sweater. This should make the odds
ON Nebraska heavier. guy named
Hermon who wears ''Y" which stands

Nebraska IL FavorIte,
Despite the rumor factory which Is
turning out the bear stuff at sixteen
columns to the hour. Nebraska reiEns
favorfte over its ancient rivals. Students
with gambling proclivities are prepared
to risk their dough at odds of Is cents
against nickel on the Scarlet and
Cream with no takers. A visit to the
various hfe-saving stations and pool
rooms reveals the fact that the state OF
Kansas is practically bankrupt this year.
tbs is a sad condition OF affairs for the
student who figures on working his way
through school by the process OF con-
trioutiOns from the college youths of
Kansas.
