Emerging From Maelstrom of

Whitewashes. Kaw Veterans'
Final Score 20 to 0
Locked in death grips, the Kansas
Jay hawkers and the Nebraska Corn
huskers descended into a maelstrom
of mud and slush on the Cornhusker
gridiron Saturday afternoon and when
they emerged, the Huskers had the
Jawhawk by the neck with hit proud
est plumage in slimey tatters. The
Cornhuskers drenched their southern
invader by twenty - duckings to none,
and sent him back, to his home land
embalmed in a coffin of encrusted mud.
The antagonists floundered, skidded
and swirlled up and down the pond
and it was not long until the boys in
red and the boys in blue,, all looked
like gobs of mirey gumbo. The yard
lines were entirely oblittered and the
ground was churned into a thick
paste everywhere the struggling mass
of humanity happened to surge.
The Cornhuskers clearly outplayed
the Jayhawkers and despite the fail
are of Schellenberg to return to the
fold, they swept around the ends and
plowed through the line at will. Ne
braska made ten first downs against
only one for Kansas, and the pigskin
ws in the possession of the Huskers
five-sixths of the time by actual 'cal
culation. Green Timber Shows Seasoning
While sport critics and football
coaches were bewailing the loss" of
Schellenberg and McMahon, the two
veteran halfbacks out of the lineup,
the green timber was seasoning rap
idly, and Jobes, Hartley. Howarth and
Swanson completely smeared the rets
from the Kaw commonwealth, with
whitewash. The visitors, altho in a
Mdly crippled condition with the
stellar pair, Londborg and Jones out
of the back field, could not hold a
flashlight to the Nebraska quartet.
Jobes Start
Left Halfback Jobes was the real
star of the struggle in spite of the
fact that this was his first full game
of his career at the university. He
drove the enemy back a good seventy
t'o yards on nineteen opportunities,
setting a season's record for individ
01 playing.
"House Warming" Opens the

Captain Hubka came next in line
for the laurels. He accounted for
fifty-seven yards of enemy territory
on eighteen attempts. Hartley with
thirty-two yards and Swanson and
Howarth both with twenty-five, to
gether with an odd number by the
other men, swelled the Cornhuskers'
total to 234 yards. This surpasses
Iowa's total by twenty yards and
beats Nebraska's record in the other
games she has played this season b
sixty-three yards
Kansas Almost Stationary
The poor bedraggled Jayhawkers
could pile up less than twenty yards
of gain from snapper-back during the
entire game, and they were thrown for,
losses amounting to twenty-two yards.
Coach Bond said that he had lost
eight men from his squad through O T.

regulars, and twenty candidates had
been surrendered since the season be

quarter, the Cornhuskers rushed the

MUD SPLATTEEINGS
OF THE GAME
By Tom Machamer
"The battle "began on the sea," as it
were.
We expected a submarine any mo
ment e-e-e-yah! 'twas that "worse."
Due to the very precipitative atmos
phere, the "Rock-Chalk" got damp and
Kansas couldn't make her mark
Did you ever see as desolate a look
ing bird as that skinned ratty Jay
hawk afier the final whistles' last
echo broke and splattered all over
creation?
Several navy "Beans" revelled in
the "sea of mud" between halves, it
being their first opportunity for ex
periencing a shadow of the real.
As the victorious Huskers emerged
or oozed from the field they looked
like crosses between circus clowns and
county-fair greased pigs
Some irresponsible and calcimined
bit of howling femininity, suggested
that the girls send their DJer Kissed
kerchiefs to the wallowing warriors
in order that they might swab the
bothersome wet dust away.
Ho Hum! Nothing to do till next
year, and by that time let's hope the
Jay-hawk, at her next sitting, pro
duces a more aggressive hatch.

UST CHOKE FN
DONATIONS TODAY
Campaign to Raise $25,000 Quota
of the University Closes
This Afternoon
Farm Campus Comes to the Front -With
Contributions From
Faculty and S. A. T. C.
The University of Nebraska at last
seems well on its way in the drive to
raise $25,000 for war work activities.
With an influx of late subscriptions
Saturday the total was brought up to
slightly more than $15,000 dollars.
This amount includes only the reports
which have come to the student activ
i'ties' office. Numerous organizations
and individuals and also the faculty ot
the city campus have not yet sub
mitted the subscriptions. With
the expiration of the time-limit Mon
day it is expected that the quota will
be practically complete.
Farm Campus Does Well
Students and members of the S. A.
T. C. at the farm campus have con
tributed liberally. The second com
pany of Section "A" quartered at the
farm barracks, has reported the larg
est company subscription on file. Their
contribution is $1,688 from an en
rollment of 166 men. This makes an
individual donation of more than ten
dollars. Members of the faculty have
given over $1,400.
- Final . Drive Today ----
Today will witness the final drive
to round out the university's quota.
Offset by a late start, the raising of
the quota seemed somewhat in doubt
for a time but subscriptions from the
College of Medicine at Omaha and
smaller donations from the teachers' -
college high school and the school of
agriculture at Curtis have aided great
ly in swelling the amount. The com
mittees in charge of the work are
making the final appeal for contribu
tions today. All who wish to aid in
the war work activities are urged to
have their pledge cards filed at the
student activities' office by five o'clock
this afternoon.
No more officers' candidates will be
admitted. Those who were trans
ferred from the student army train
ing corps will be allowed to return
to that organization provided they re
turn to college Immediately. Thesa
provisions, the department announce
ment says, apply to all officers' trafn
iog schools for the line of staff corps
