(From starr Correspondent
Lincoln, Nov. l7.-(Special. Jon
the eve Of the historic Kansas-Ne-
braska game, Lincoln has gone foot
ball mad again,
With the arrival of the Jayhawk-
ers' foot ball squad this morning,
twenty-three strong, under the direc-
ton of Coach Olcott and Assistant
Coach "Patsey" Clark, there was a
speeding up in the demand for seats
and Athletic Manager Guy E. Reed
said late this afternoon that every
available seat would be taken.
A crowd, rivalled only by that ex-
pected on Thanksgiving day when the
Huskers and Notre Dame meet, will
see thetwo old-time rivals for Mis-
souri, valley laurels battle here tomor-
| row. a
Indirectly there is a Missouri Val
ley crown at stake, although Kansas
had previously suffered defeat at the
hands of Ames. The Husker record is
clear so far and victory over the
Jayhawkers would leave Nebraska an
undisputed champion for the eighth
consecutive year.
Bets at Even Money.
With the approach OF the game, the
apprehension of the Nebraska
coaches and rooters heightened and
no money was offered heretoday at
better than even odds, although Kan
sas hackers we're holding out for q
toll bets.
The Jayhawkers reached Lincoln
early this morning over the Missouri
Pacific and Immediately took up
quarters at the Lincoln hotel. Olcott's
squad had a short workout on the
university field early this morning
and then rested, The Jayhawkers saw
the first half of the game between
Lincoln and Beatrice High schools,
and then hied to Wesleyan university,
! where the eleven vent through an
other signal drill.
Nebraska's only workout came
early in the afternoon on Nebraska
field, prior to the Lincoln High-Be-
atrice High game and behind closed
gates. The Huskers went through
the formations smoothly and rapidly
by far the most satisfactory drill Of
the week.
| Riddell "oH Watch"
There was gloom in the Husker
camp today when it became known
that Ted" Riddell, Husker end, was
suffering from an infected foot and
stood little chance of getting into the
game. He was rushed to the hospital
and the coaches are hoping he, will
be able to take his place, although
the chances are slim. With Dobson
on the hospital list, the Huskers will
enter the game minus the services Of
two regulars.
DIR. Stewart has not definitely de
termined hiw he will line his squad
up for the game. Maloney AID Corey
are likely to play ends, with Kositzky
and Shaw shifted to tackles.
One glance at the Jayhawkers to-
day demonstrated they will have the
edge on Nebraska so far as weight
goes. The line is about evenly
matched, but the Kansas backfeld
outweighs Nebraska several pounds.
Jayhawks Confident.
DR.. Stewart refused to make any
statement.
I'VE are not claiming anything nor
conceding anything" Coach Olcott
said this morning. 1--WE have the best
team in years and should put up a
hard fight"
Confidence was sticking out all over
the Jayhawkers. The entire party
drought that it was Kansas year and
the Jayhawkers would win by at least
two touchdowns,
/ Potsey Clark, assistant coach, was
more hopeful in his expression:
1--WE are thirty points better than
when Ames won from u.s. Clark said
this morning
The Jayhawkers will be supported
by delegation of at least 500 rooters,
the largest sent from Lawrence in re-
cent years
Protest Woodward.
Late this afternoon announcement
