accomplished the trick which no other
team this season has been able to
turn, not even excepting Minnesota,
jfut their victory Is attended by a host
of extenuating circumstances. Not
withstanding tho result of Saturday's
game .there 1b npt a porqou in. school
Who 'knows tjio strengtikof $eCorn
puskdr team who would nekifbwledge
for a minute that tho K. U. bunch Is
superior lp any. department to tho
Cornhuskers when ntthelr best. There
Is not a competent judge of footbalt
n Lincoln or anywhere else who, after
Witnessing tfie Amos-Nebraska game
jn Omaha an4 tho Kansas-Nebraska
game laBt Saturday, would admit that
Kansas could defeat either Ames or
Nebraska. On tho contrary," it ip tho
Arm belief 'of all' who witnessed both
contests that either the Ames Aggies
or the Cornhuskers could, If In thd
perfect condition which the Kaneaas
qnjoyed laBt Saturday, reverse Satur
day's score and more, too, if th'oy
wore to be pitted against the Jay
hawkers.
Outcome Unexpected.
The outcome of Saturday's contest
was, meroly tho natural consequence
of a long series' ot -adverse clrcunt-
stances for "King" Colo and his pupils,
as opposed to- an equally long series
of corresponding fortunate circum
stances for Coach Kennedy afid his
warriors. -
Tho Cornhusker supporters were
more, than surprised to see tho turn
pf tho I'dOinVSaur.day.'B game.,. After
seolng tho Ndbradkans more than hold
their own with such teams as Minne
sota, Iowa and Ames,; after seeing the
wonderful lino of. tbo Cornhuskers suc
cessfully withstand the fiercest at
tacks of them all; and after seeing
the scarlet and cream backfield carry
tho hall for repeated gains tho like
of, which other teams had been unable
to duplicate,' tho supporters hero had
assimilated , the belief, that; tho Corn
,husker& wore" fnv'inclole.
But in .arriving at this belief they
oyeiiooked some very -important
'phases of tho situation, and itis jto
thescphasoB that 'Nebraska owbsjhpr
defeat, at tho hands'of the Jayhawkers.
Comparing' Schedules,

In comparing tho schedules of the
. two teams for this, season up- to the
present timo the twt is revealed that
Kansas had npti engaged In a Blnglo

any serious consideration and In fact
every one ,of tfco games was merely
a help to Kansas in perfecting her
team for the later games of her sched
ule. In none of tho games wero tho
Jayhawkers forced to employ any
other tactics than the simplest kind
of football, except for experimental
purposes, and none of tho games was
hard enough fought to cause any of
tho KansaB players to contract any
injuries serious enough to affect their
playing.
Grueflfrtg Contests.
Nebraska's schedulo, on the other
hand, reveals an entirely different 'set
pf circumstances. Up utitll laBt Sat
urday the CornhuBkers bad met the
following teams: Peru, Doano, Orin
nell, Mlnesota, Haskell, Iowa, Ames
and Kansas. Since October 3d, the
date of tho Doano game, Nebraska
has played bIx gruelling games, every
one of which demanded hard and care
ful play, jind three of which wero ab
solutely fierce. For bIx weeks thoy
have been working hard without ,a
let up and for, tho last four'woeks tljey
have been barely ahleito)j:ecovorlfnqm
tho bruises.and -batterings of oho fierce
struggle in time to go lhto another.
As a result of this terrible season
tho players wero simply Jagged ou
they had gono stale and were in no
condition Jtomeet tie .sturdy, well
trained and physically, fit Jayhawkers
who had bqenwprklng ever, since the
jvory beginning qr. the seaBon with.Oie

From a financial standpoint thlsi ap
pears upon first glance to be a very
logical course to pursuo, but tho non
feaslbillty of It was demonstrated last
Saturday. A winning team can; with
out a doubt, attract a great attendance
to a large number of Important con
tests, but tho trouble lies In the fact
that with so many hard contests in a

thoro is another chargo whlqh haB

which is or a much moro serious na

and thoro is certainly good reason
for boliovlng that thoro Is, tho Kansas
victory will not bo so sweet to tboBO
Kansas supporter who aro truo
sportsmen, nor will 'It bring honor to
their scbobl.
Kansas Had Signals.
The chargo is that tho Kansas .play
ers, or at least somo of tho players,
know tho signals which wero 'used
by tho Nebraska tonni. It Is bald
that when tho signal for Chaloupka
tq carry tbo ball around left cpd wob
given, a Kansas man would invariably
call out "look out for Chaloupka.."
and tho same thing was truo of quar
ter back runB, forward passes and
several other pot formations of tho
CornbAiBkerflV This 'fact Is vouched
for' by sdvoral iftbtnberB of tho Ne
braska team.
Ong thbng JsabHoJutoJy certain, and
that Is that thq Kansas teamt if thoy
cjld. npt knqw Nebraska's signals, had
developed tho(acuJJx. oJUJntulUon to
a rcmarV-blq degree .and, woroabld
to dovlno tho preclso spot toward
which all of tho Cornhusker playB
wero to bo directed.
In considering tho game, It' was very
evident front'-Aib start that tho Corn
huskers woren'fc playing half tho game
that they had playdd earlier In tho
season. Thoy appeared to bb dead Tin
their" fqet and tho attacks of tho Karl-
saS Sackflbld1 were Btbsd with dif
ficulty, and often gre'at galUs had been
