BY JERRY WARREN.
A mediocre Kansas University eleven ruined Nebras
ka's homecoming Saturday afternoon by dumping the Corn
huskers 27-13 before 36,000 fans.
Nebraska spent most of the game in Jayhawk territory
but didn't have the scoring punch when they needed it. Had
the field been five yards shorter, the Huskers would have
won easily.

Is It Fair?'
A display was shown at the
coffee hour, illustrating the Amer

Later in the evening, at the
Union Talent Tryout, night, a
member of the charity organiza

Kansas' vaunted passing attack
was stalled by the stubby NU
backfield and only one of the
Jayhawker touchdowns was by
passing.
On paper Bill Glassford's stal
warts looked good. They out
downed, out-rushed and out
passed their foes from the south.
The Huskers racked up a total of
388 net yarns on their journeys to
the KU five-yard line, the most
yardage gained in one game by
the Scarlet and Cream this year.
Husker passing, which has
remained almost dormant since
the Minnesota game, accounted
for 176 yards. The surprising
thing was that ace aerialist Fran
Nagle completed only four passes
to amass the total and two of
the four were touchdown throws.
One of Nagle's long heaves was
a 28-yard scoring pass to Ralph
Damkroger, culminating a 78
yard Nebraska drive in the first
quarter.
The Huskers found themselves
in a hole early in the first pe
riod when Dean Wells, sophomore
back, recovered Bill Mueller's
fumble for Kansas on the Ne
braska 16-yard line.
Three Jayhawk passes failed to
connect, however, and the fight
ing Cornhuskers took over again
on their own 22. A fine ground
attack, highlighted by short gains
