L D. LOSES TWENTY
TIMES TO HDSKERS
Ja-kawkers Play Thirty-One Games,
Nebraska Stops Them Eight
Successive Years
LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct 20.
Eight successive years without a vic
tory! That is the recent story of
football between the University of
Kansas and the University of Ne
braska. It may be termed a "jinx"
which has been dodging the tracks
of the Jayhawkers the past few
years, the same as the one which
hung over Missouri for about twenty-five
years before they turned in
a victory this year. The Mount
Oread team is hoping to be able to
turn in a victory when they meet
the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Satur
day, October 24.
Thirty-one times have these oppo
nents met on the gridiron, and the
Jayhawkers have been victorious
nine, two ties have resulted, and
twenty have been lost. Kansas was
victorious in the earlier yars. The
two ties have been made in recent
years, the first in 1920, and the
last one in 1923.

SHOW SOME PEP1
School spirit adds greatly to
the enjoyment of college life.
Some of the things that are re
membered the longest are rallies,
football games, and other demon
strations of the lighter side of
life.
Nebraska students are missing
great deal of that this year.
Poor attendance at rallies and
listless cheering rt the games
take all the fun out of them. In
former years one of the greatest
pleasures was in a good rousing
demonstration.
From new until the Kansas
game spirit can be generated by
singing and cheering, by attend
ing tie rally the evening before
the game, and at the game enter
ing into the spirit of things and
putting some snap in the cheers.

days in Nebraska. This and such
works as "The Song of the Three
Friends" and 'The Song of Indian
Wars" have given him a position as
one of the best living American
poets.

ing at 11 o'clock may hear Mr. Nei

START FIRING ON
NEW RIFLE RANGE
Detail Method of Firing Is Used Be
cause of Temporary Nature
of Gallery
Prescribed firing by fourteen of
the freshmen was completed on the
new rifle gallery yesterday. Sever
al University teanj candidates fired
also in their initial practice of the
year for the 1925-26 winter season
of intercollegiate matches.. Fresh
men from Company B will fire to
day. Remaining Company A fresh
men may come and fire also, al
though preference will be given to
members of Company B.
The gallery can accommodate
forty-eight freshmen a day for the
entire prescribed" firing of four
cards. The men are firing in de
tail of eight men on the firing point,
all firing their required number of
shots per card in the same period of
time. "Cease firing" is then given
and targets are changed.
The detail method of firing is be
ing used because the old target car
riers were not installed, on account
of the temporary nature of the pres
ent gallery.
Miss Addams was unable to come
to Lincoln on Armistice Day as re
quested by the Council of Women s
Organizations because of a previous
engagement to speak on th"t date at

Miss Addams spoke in the Lincoln

HUSKY SQUAD HAS
ALL TO BE ASKED
Football Fans Agree That Washing
ton Aggregation Is One of
Best Erer Seen Here
University of Nebraska football
fans are this week fully decided on
one subject: The University of
Washington (Seattle) football team
is one of the best seen on Nebraska
field in many a moon.
The Huskies from the Pacific Coast
had just about everything a coach
could ask. They had weight, they
had speed, and they had football
sense. Give their line, which is all
new except for the two ends, a little
more experience and no team in the
country will be able to say that the
Huskies are easy prey.
The Huskies have two plenty good
ends in Cutting and Cole. But the
thing that impressed Nebraskans the
most was their backfield, an all-star
quartet if there ever was one.
In George Wilson, Captain Elmer
Tesreau, George Guttormsen and
Harold Patton, the Washington Hus
kies have a backfield with plenty of
speed, with forward passing ability
land with line plunging ability sel
dom excelled. Besides, in Guttorm
sen. thev alwaVs threaten to score
fnree point3 by the dropkick route.
Wilson Always Gained
And this man George Wilson, the
star halfback of the Pacific coast, is
all that he is cracked up to be. He
has drive. Not once, we believe, in
Saturday's contest was b stopped
without a gain of two or three yards,
and once he broke loose for an eigh
teen yard sprint that ended in front
of the Nebraska goaL
Wilson drives fairly slow, but
when he hits something gives and it
keeps giving until Wilson is downed
and downed securely. The Washing
ton halfback can sidestep his way
