HUsKERS LACK THE PUNCH
By FRED S. HUNTER.

and a 6-to-O victory, the grldIron
warriors of Kansas defeated the Corn
huskers here today, ! to 3. 1t was also
the first time since 1909 that Kansas
has scored touchdown on Nebraska.
All during the first half the Corn
hu5kers outforght, outgamed and out
played the Jayhawkers. Captain Tom
Corey booted beautiful place kick
over the crossbar from the forty-yard
line and earned three-point margin
for his mates. But in the second half
the Jayhawkers displayed an open at
tack that completely baffled the Corn
husker defense, and i'll the middle of
the third quarter pushed over sin
gle touchdown, which was sufficient
to bring victory.
Upset of All Dope.
The defeat OF Stewards men was a
total upset of the well-known dope.
Nebraska went into the conflict a
heavy odds-on favorite. The betting
was 2 to |, with few takers and some
ardent Husker supporters even Of
fered even greater odds. Some
plungers even wagered 2 to | Ne
braska would win by seven points. A
flew of the Sunhower lads made small
cleanings, but no big killings were
made.
As a result of the upset the cham
niopship of the Missouri Valley con-
ference becomes very much mud
died up title. Kansas has been de-
feated by Ames. Nebraska has been
defeated by Kansas. Missouri has been
defeated by the Kansas Aggies. There
is no possible way to dope out a
championship eleven
- The first half was all Nebraska. An
easy Cornhusker victory seemed i'm
minent. Stewards men had possession
of the ball practically all OF the first
two periods. Not once did Kansas
make first downs in these two periods
and only twice did they even make
an attempt to advance the ball. The
Jayhawkers were content to let Lind
sey punt whenever they got hold of
the pigskin, and it must be admitted
Mister Lindsey did some punting.
Almost, but Not Enough.
But while the Cornhuskers carried
the ball most of the time they failed
to mark up any touchdowns. Ne
braska looked like a great team in
the middle of the field, blowing up
the Kansas line, skirting the Kansas
ends and completely demoralizing the
Jayhawk defense But whenever Stew
arts men got within twenty yards of
their opponents goal, they stopped.
The machinery refused to work and
they lost the ball every time. They
were pitifully weak every time they
had a chance to score. They had about
MAS much punch as an electric brougham
would have in scrap for the right
of-way with five-ton. truck
But while the Cornhuskers had
their own way in the first half, Kan
sas had it all its way i'm the second
half. At the start of the third quarter
the Jayhawkers opened Up an open
style of play that dazzled the Corn
huskers. They started series of
long forward passes that easily eluded
Stewards secondary line. They worked
pass after pass. Nebraska seemed
hopelessly unable to cope with them.
Then they worked spread plays that
Droved too smooth for the HuskerS
and the Heet Kansas hacks GOT awav
for many large gains

Kansas, however, had the same
fault Nebraska had in the first half.
The Jayhawk, too, seemed to lack
the punch to put the ball over the
goal line, but on one occasion Lind
