Do you think Nebraska will be able
ta defeat Notre Dame2

Do you think Nebraska will be able
to defeat Notre Dame?
"That would be hard to answer.
Are the CornhuskerS stronger this
year than they were last?
"Now, I couldn't say as to that. L
promised myself that I would not say
ANYTHING about the team"
Do you think your team can defeat
Washburn by 40 points?
ooh, no! Forty points is too much.
It can't be done"
(After the game).
Now that you have seen them work,
what do you think of the Jayhawkers :?
"They have a dangerous team and
they played good football this after
noon"

What do you think of Kansas
chances against your team this veal? ?
Stiehm only smiled and that ended
one of the most garrulouS interviews
the Nebraska coach has given out in
some time.
While Coach Stiehm was looking
over the Jayhawkers, Coach Olcott,
the Kansas mentor, was soJourn1ng IN
Columbia, Mo-, where he was observ-
ing the antics of the Sooner-Tiger
game. And by the way there was
some wild Tipping of the forward pass
by the Sooners. Captain Geyer, of the
Oklahoma team is the most proficient
forward passer in this section of the
country and 1T will be the chief duty
of the Jayhawkers to see that this
gentleman does not get many chances
when they meet his team. Oklahoma
is the one STUN bling block that the
Kansans fear. If they can hurdle 1t
with a victory they will be on their
way smiling.
The Kansas defense against the for
ward pass is already pretty well de-
veloped as shown by the fact that
Drake was only able to successfully
negotiate four passes out of eleven.
There has been much said about the
Kansas team abandoning the open
style of play but Saturday afternoon
Lindsey Tipped to Wood for the first
Kansas touchdown that has been made
by a forward pass in some time While
the Jayhawkers do not rely upon the
pass very much it, nevertheless, is a
part of their repertoire and will be
used frequently in the future.
K. U. freshmen are not supposed to
take girls to the football games. When
ever one is found with a girl he is

FUMBLES were COSTLY
Crippled High School Team Was Easy
Mark for Ottawa Saturday.

The Topeka high school football
team was defeated at League park
Saturday afternoon by Ottawa high
school, the total score being 10 to 6.
The consistent and brilliant playing OF
Mclean for Topeka was the notable
feature of the contest.
Weinheimer of Ottawa made two
long runs which accounted for two of
the three tallies. Topeka's score came
in the second quarter. Good gains by
Wilson and Mclean brought the ball
near the posts and Mclean carried the
pigskin over.
Costly fumbles on Topeka's part
won the game for Ottawa. A pretty
touchdown by the local eleven was
called back to the middle of the field
on account of offsides. That took the
heart out of the team and the playing
from then on was spiritless.
A crowd of probably 400 student
witnessed the game. The next homo
game will be on November whet
Lawrence high school comes here.
That game will probably be changed
to Friday, November 5, on account O.

HUSKERS
Nebraska Defeated WaShburI
by Overwhelming Score.
The Odds Were Too Great for
the Game IchabOdS.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1S.-When the
beefy Cornhuskers defeated Wash
burn college here Saturday afternoon
by the overwhelming score of AT to o,
everybody was expecting the victory,
but no one was expecting it to be as
big as it was.
A muddy field gave the heavier Ne
braskans quite an advantage, and
with everything else against them,
the p1ucky Ichabods never had the
remotest chance of winning.
In fact, Washburn never had but
one chance of scoring; Recovering
Nebraska tumble on the HuSkerS' 20
yard line, The Icnabods pulled a for
ward pass that netted 10 yards. Then
Captain Beals faxed another pass that
enabled him to plant the ball on the
5-yard line. But three attempts to
cross the last chalk mark on line
plunges failed and Nebraska recov-
cred the ball on downs and punted
ont of danger.
A Clean Game.
The game was one of the cleanest
that was ever seen on a local grid
iron. Only three penalties for off
sides were enforced during the entire
game and all of them were against
Nebraska. The Ichabods were not
only outweighed, but were also out
classed in speed and in interference
work.
Coach Stiehm's warriors displayed a
more brilliant offense than they have
at any time this season. In the first
four minutes of play they marched
down the field for a touchdown with
out stopping, Captain Rutherford go
ing over for the first score.
During the first half the Ichabod
players seldom got a chance to show
anything as the HuSkers kept the ball
in their possession most of the time.
1t was one grand march after an
other goalward.
Huskers Used Subs
After the first quarter the Huskers
began to use substitutes and in all had
80 men in the game. Washburn re-
lied mostly upon forward passes that
were ineffective and seldom COM
p1eted, while the Nebraskans played
the plurging and end running game
almost exclusively. The line up and

Jayhawkers Defeated Drake by
Large Score Saturday.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 1S.-Witn
flashes of brilliant offensive work and
stubborn defense the Kansas jay
hawkers were able to dispose of the
Drake Bulldogs Saturday afternoon on
McCook field by score of 80 to z.
Except for a, few minutes at the start
of the first quarter and a short squirt
in the final period the Drake team was
clearly outclassed. The Kansans were
slow in starting their march toward
the Bulldogs goal and the excellent
punting. of BUM. the Drake right
guard, kept off a Kansas score until
ten minutes of the first quarter had
passed.
But the Kansas offense was too DOW
erful for the fighting brakes. An in
tercepted forward pass by Lindsey
gave the Jayhawkers the ball on
brakes 40 yard line. Successful
plunges by Lindsey, Wood and Reber
put the ball in position for B. Gill
lespie to score the first touchdown of
the contest. Strothers kicked goal and
the Kansans were off with to 0
lead.
This score seemed to dishearten the
Iowa players and few minutes later
Lindsey and Wood negotiated the first
successful forward pass of the season
for a touchdown. Wood lodged IS
yards through the secondary defense
line of the Drake team for the second
touchdown. Strothers again added a
point by his goal and the score stood
K. U IA: Drake 0.
In the second period the JayhaWk-
ers came within five yards of touch
down and were only prevented from
showing the ball over by the timekeep-
ers' whistle which ended the half. Cap
tain Tony James of the Kansas team
booted a field goal from the 25 yard
line in this quarter, adding three
points to the K. u. total which was II.
L. Gillespie's run of 70 yards to a
touchdown on an intercepted pass in
this period was the feature of the
game.
With the score 80 to in their
favor the Jayhawkers became careless
and Lindsey permitted the Drake for
wards to block a punt of the Kansas
10-yarG line. 1t was at this stage that
the Kansans showed some of the great
defensive strength but the forwards
were too quick in their charging and
an offside lay was called. The pen
atty gave Drake the ball on K. US
4yard line with four downs in which
to make the distance. A plunge by
Blackburn advanced the ball two
yards and Brown the Drake quarter
back wriggled through the K. U. line
for his teams only touchdown of the
game. BUM added a point by kicking
the goal The final score was K. u
80; Drake Z.
Keeling, tho K. U. center, received
an injured leg which may keep him
out of the game for some time.

came in the third quarter, after an

From the Press BOX.

Kansas football followers who have
not seen the K. u team in action
will be anxious to know just what
the prospects for the season are.
Here's the diagnosis as one Missouri
Valley dopester, who has watched the
game for many years, puts it:
Right now without any further
development the Kansas team has a
chance to stand one-two in the foot
ball race this year. If Coach Oh
colt can get his backfield men to
charge harder and not quit fighting
for ground until held down by six men
of the opposing team the Jayhawkers
will have a good chance against Ne
bra ska. One of Coach Jumbo Stiehnl's
hobbies with his Cornhuskers is to
have his backfield men charge in the
most fiendiSh manner. This terrific
plunging is what makes the Nebraska
team the scoring machine that it is.
The Cornhuskers backs never stop GO
ing forward. They are always forging
ahead. One thing noticed about the
Kansas attack is that the backfield
men stop too soon. They do not fight
hard enough. If this condition can
be remedied you never can tell what
K. U. might do to Nebraska.
An interview with Coach Stiehm, the
successful coach of the winning Ne
braska Cornhuskers:
(Before the game).
Well, Coach, what do you think of
the Missouri Valley situation this
year?
Il do not know. I haven't anything
to say about it,

enough to give.

If, as in times past, Washburn can con-
tinue to turn out teams that worthy

Aggies, the Ichabod school will continue
to be looked upon one of the big schools

Washburn must be content to be classed
with other smaller colleges of the state.
