    NEBRASKA DEFEATS KANSAS. OutcIassed Their Old Rivals and Vic tory Was Emphatic. Victory over Kansas by the score of 16 to 6 came easy to the Nebraska football team at Lawrence Saturday. The cornhuskers outclassed their old rivals and their victory was more enphatic than the score would indicate. Nebraska played rings around Kansas in all departments of the game, Sc curing sweet revenge for the defeat at the hands of Kansas on Nebraska field last fall. Kansas could not put up the game that either Colorado or Ames played against Nebraska and the cornhuskers despite the hard schedule they had been playing were in shape for decisive victory. All Nebraska eyes are now on the Thanksgiving game with St. Louis at st. Louis. The game Saturday with Denver university and the week following with Doane are little more than practice contests for the big battle at st. Louis. The Denver game, how ever, will not be without interest. The Job of job-hunting Is want -
