Kansas has won nine times in the
vsenty-Seven times it has met the Ne
braska Cornhuskers on the gridiron-
while Nebraska has won seventeen
times, and one game resulted in a tie
score. In the early history of the
playing OF these two schools, Kansas
seems to have been stronger. but as
the reader follows the records down
the years Nebraska seems to have
gained strength. and only twice in the
last twelve years has Kansas been able
TO keep the Cornhuskers from taking
the long end of the score Kansas won
to in 1916, and in 1920 the score
was tied, 20 to 20

this year. il not better. The task
facing Kansas is as impossible as two

the fighting JayhawkerS come back IN
the second frame and tie the score

team to interest the COrnhuskers- APP
parently the same situation exists
The Nebraskans took Missouri to a
trimming, IS to o; won from Okla

lost a game which many believed
should have been Nebraska's, against
