Kansas 40 - Nebraska 15

Rachel Seymour/KANSAN

Kansas senior conerback Theo Baines celebrates Knnsas second touchdown to lead Nebraska 14-2 in the first quarter of Saturdays game at Memorial Stadium. Kansas shattered its 36-year losing streak to Nebraska with a final score of 40-15.

Long-awaited celebration
trample the south goalpost. This is unbelievable, Allison said as he hung from the goalpost. It cant get any better than this. Kansas beat Nebraska on Saturday for the first time since 1968, and Allison was just one of the many Kansas fans who had his eyes set on the goalpost. With fewer than five minutes left in the game, the victory sealed and the Rock Chalk Chant roaring in Memorial Stadium, the Kansas fans huddled against the fence that blocked them from the field. Josh Bailey, Lawrence senior, and Jesse Plous, New York City senior, had a different plan than Allison. We are going straight for the team, Bailey said. We want to tell those guys how proud we are of them. We will let our other fans get the goalposts. Allison, Plous and Bailey echoed the thoughts of most Kansas fans on Saturday afternoon. For the second week in a row, herds of students rushed the field after the Jayhawks convincing victory, tore down both sets of goalposts and carried them to Potter Lake. Plous and Bailey did as they said and joined hundreds of other fans at midfield to congratulate the 2005-06 Jayhawks. The victory not only silenced jokes that have been cracked on the Jayhawks for more than 20 years, but also kept the teams hopes alive for a post-season bowl berth. A victory against Texas in Austin next weekend or at home against Iowa

Adam Allison hit the ground hard. As the yellow goalpost in the south end zone of Memorial Stadium fell to the ground on Saturday afternoon, so did the junior from Wichita. After rushing the field moments after the Jayhawks 40-15 win over Nebraska, Allison was one of the first people to

Individuals protest Kansan

By steve lynn why, then, would The University Daily Kansan refer to them as merely roommates? Caster said the writings on the windows and the flier were related to an article written in the Oct. 27 edition of Jayplay, in which Ta and Joy were referred to as roommates in an article about toilet training a cat. He said the article was not meant to be offensive, but the reporter should have used the couples preferred terminology. Ta said he and his partner were surprised that the reporter referred to them as roommates. Ta, Wichita senior, said if the article had included a heterosexual couple, then they would have been identified as such. I have noticed that in a lot of articles and TV shows, when a gay couple does something, they dont mention any reference of a relationship, Ta said. James Foley, Jayplay staff writer, and Anja Winikka, Jayplay editor, said that the identification of Ta and Joy as a couple was irrelevant to the content of the article. The article had nothing to do with sexuality. It wasnt about them, Winikka, Overland Park senior, said. It was a funny, quirky article about toilet training cats.

An individual or individuals used a water-based paint to write on the windows of Stauffer-Flint Hall and Wescoe Hall to express distaste for The University Daily Kansans identification of a gay couple. David Guth, associate dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, said he arrived on campus early Sunday morning and reported the writings to the KU Public Safety Office. Workers were busy cleaning the paint from a number of windows on the east side of the building Sunday afternoon. The writings included phrases such as Quit the homophobia, Jayplay sucks, Roommates? and Dont try to assimilate us.

Nov. 7, 1891 Comanches Last Stand The only living creature found after the Battle of the Little Big Horn, also known as Custers Last Stand, died. The horse, Comanche, is preserved in the Natural History Museum. Little did the Army cavalry suspect when it bought Comanche in 1868 that he would survive one of the most famous battles in the United States. The Library of Congress said nearly a third of the 7th Cavalry under Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer died in the battle on June 25, 1876. Custer and his brother also died there. Although the Native Americans won, the ensuing U.S. backlash forced them to surrender a year later. Comanche earned his name from his rider, Captain Myles Keogh of the 7th Cavalry. The KU History Projects Web site reported one soldier said the horse screamed like a Comanche after an arrow hit him during a fight with a group of Comanches. The horse survived seven wounds, three of them severe, after the battle. In 1878, Colonel Samuel Sturgis issued a formal order to stop anyone from ever again riding Comanche, now a national symbol. The Army asked Lewis Lindsay Dyche, a nationally renowned taxidermist, to preserve Comanches body after the 29year-old horse died of colic. A loyal 1884 KU graduate, Dyche agreed to do the job for free if Comanches remains could stay at the University. Nov. 7, 1969 Homecoming queens dethroned The Universitys final homecoming queen, Janet Merrick, received her crown 36 years ago today during the football game against Colorado. The Universitys homecoming activities and culture differed radically from todays. The motto invoked Mary Poppins: Kansas Cookout or a Spoonful of Pepper Helps the Buffalo Go Down, the Kansan wrote. But no one would call the years homecoming practically perfect in every way. Not only did the Buffaloes beat the University 17-14, but racial tensions also rocked the homecoming queen ceremony. All finalists were white women.

The Black Student Union held its own elections for homecoming queen, electing Lorene Brown, Value, Miss., freshman. The group requested that its queen receive her crown with the University queen. The homecoming committee vetoed the request, although it voted to recognize the black queen at the game. The homecoming committee abolished the homecoming queen ceremony the next year. An approving Chicago Sun-Times editorial called the contests as far from the purpose of a university as air conditioning is from the worries of the city fathers of Reykjavik, Iceland. Nov. 11, 1922 Memorial Stadium honors World War I dead The University formally dedicated Memorial Stadium to students, alumni and others who died during World War I. Robert Taft wrote in The Years on Mount Oread that the University launched the Million Dollar Drive in 1920. Faculty and students started the drive to build a memorial for those who died in the war, particularly the 130 students and alumni. The drive began Nov. 18, and students and faculty had pledged more than $200,000 within three days. Rome had her Coliseum, Athletics Director Forrest C. Phog Allen said in a 1920 University brochure. Kansas must have a stadium! The proposed stadium would replace the rickety, decaying stands of McCook Field. Before the University could build the stadium, it first had to demolish the McCook Field stands. It declared May 10, 1921, Stadium Day, a University holiday. Students organized a makeshift army to tackle the destruction, the Kansan reported. This cyclone of hustling humanity dissembled every stand in only one hour and 18 minutes.

KU Hillel sets record

Shabbat 350 attracts 450 people at KU
By Malinda OSBOrne

Kansan staff writer

For the fourth straight year the KU Hillel Foundation exceeded its desired attendance for the groups annual big Shabbat celebration. Shabbat 350 the number signifies the anticipated attendance attracted an estimated 450 people, making it the largest Shabbat gathering in the Universitys history, said Emily Caulfield, Sugar Land, Texas, junior and KU Hillel president. Hillel is a campus group for

Jewish students that plays host to social and religious events. Shabbat, which lasts from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday, is the weekly holiday that celebrates the Jewish day of rest. Every Friday night, KU Hillel holds Shabbat prayer services and a dinner afterward to cap off the week. The average attendance ranges from 50 to 60 students. For Shabbat 350, a combined service was held at 6 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium, incorporating elements of each branch of Judaism. A large buffet dinner took place afterward in the Ballroom of the Kansan Union. Middle Eastern food, a performance by KU Hillels A Capella group, Shirim Netzim, and a raffle entertained the crowd. The event has grown from the original Shabbat 150 which took place three years ago. Each year

both the number expected has grown along with the actual attendance, which has always exceeded expectations. That same year, the KU Hillel had fewer than 50 members. The University of Texas and University of Colorado are the only two Big 12 schools with larger Jewish populations than the University. Caulfield said about 1,800 Jewish students attend the University. Caulfield said she saw the increasing numbers as a challenge. Hillel is building a reputation. We are building a presence in our organization but outside Hillel as well, she said. People outside the Jewish community, including faculty, students and members of the Lawrence community were invited to Shabbat 350. Mehrdad Hosni, Manhattan junior and student senator, said he came to the event want-

ing to expand his knowledge of different cultures. Hosni attended the service beforehand and the dinner afterward. He said he was impressed by one Jewish tradition where people were asked to shout out names of loved ones to be remembered before certain prayers. Those who are part of the Jewish community, such as Matt Rissien, Overland Park freshman, said he saw KU Hillel as a nitch. Rissien, who attended a Judaic school from kindergarten through his senior year in high school, said it was a big change to attend a secular school, but KU Hillel made the transition easier. Hillel is my Judaism on campus. Its nice to find that it is so active and I, myself, can stay active in the community, Rissien said. Edited by Nate Karlin

Professor finds West Nile vaccine

West Nile basics

History F West Nile virus was discovered in 1937 in the West Nile District of Uganda. Symptoms F Most people infected with West Nile do not develop symptoms. F One-fifth of people who are infected with the virus develop West Nile Fever. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatique, body aches, possible skin rash and swollen lymph glands. F Less than 1 percent of people infected develop severe West Nile disease, which includes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord membrane. Treatment F There is currently no treatment for the virus. People who develop severe West Nile disease need to be hospitalized. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention like this to get approved by the CDC. Therere lots of hurdles you have to go through before its approved, said Sharon Watson, communications director for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The University is one of many U.S. institutions researching new ways to fight the virus, Watson said. While students can get yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis vaccines at Watkins Health Memorial center, Yamshchikov wouldnt recommend the shots to healthy students. Its just too expensive, Yamshchikov said. To get both yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis shots would cost students about $500. Yamshchikov said he would only recommend shot to those who had weak immune systems. For the best everyday protection, the KDHE simply recommends bug spray. Edited by Katie Lohrenz

Scientists at the University of Kansas have created a new method for treating cases of West Nile. Vladimir Yamshchikov, associate professor of microbiology, found that mixing vaccines from similar diseases made an effective vaccine against West Nile. Our thinking was simple, if we combine two vaccines that are known to be extremely successful, we should be able to strengthen our immune systems, Yamshchikov said. West Nile is a mosquito-transmitted disease that causes encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. It is characterized by flu-like symptoms, which last just a few days. Symptoms normally show up within two weeks of the bite. The elderly and those with weak immune systems are more likely to contract the disease. Less than 1 percent of people who contract West Nile develop serious symptoms. Most people dont even know that they are infected. Yamshchikov and his staff performed the experiment by injecting themselves with vaccines from yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis and then compared their blood against the blood of a student who had recovered from West Nile. Yamshchikov performed his experiment in August and his findings were published on Sept. 15 in Vaccine, a peer-edited journal for medical and biological scientists. Besides developing strong antibodies to yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis, Yamshchikov also noticed that each blood sample contained certain antibodies that were also found in the West Nile patient. If used appropriately, the treatment could last for four years. Although Yamshchikovs technique is effective, dont expect hospitals to recommend it any time soon. It takes a long time for something

to help each other out and provide the information they need. Toni Johnson, a recently hired professor of social welfare and an African American, said before hearing about an open position at the University from a friend who worked here, she hadnt ever considered coming to Lawrence. She said she had preconceived notions about the conservative nature of the state and that it was a hostile environment for minorities. I had some opinions and ideas that were not correct. But my contact with people I knew and the people who recruited me opened my eyes and made me think about KU in a different way, Johnson said. Johnson said another big concern for her was the number of minority faculty at the University. Theres not a lot here and I wanted to see if anyone was concerned about that, she said. But I got open answers from Jean and I came to believe that my department and the University are doing everything to expand diversity. KU officials agree that some factors that inhibit minorities from coming to the University are beyond their control. Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, said difficulties arose when there were only a limited number of

qualified minority candidates in a certain field. She also said competition from other universities affected the process. Weve been working for years and we havent had much success, she said. Its not just finding candidates, however, they also must be convinced to stay. McCluskey-Fawcett said some potential minority faculty took issue with the fact that Lawrence was isolated from a large urban community and that there is not a large professional minority community. She said all the University could do was talk with them honestly. We certainly talk to people about these concerns. We try to discuss with people what is here and not what is missing, she said. Marta Caminero-Santangelo, professor of English, said she worried that highly qualified minority faculty members might be enticed to other schools because of better offers. She said the Kansas Legislatures relative lack of support for higher education meant that salaries for KU faculty tended to be lower than at comparative schools. For the 2005 fiscal year, the University ranked seventh in the Big 12 for its professor salaries and eighth for its associate professor salaries. While recruiting minority faculty is an important issue, retaining them can be just as important in order to keep the numbers up. The University has not had a net gain of minority

faculty in the last two years. Johnson said she had seen a lot of effort to recruit from universities nationally, but retention efforts had been dismal. You bring in diversity but you also have to make space to make them feel comfortable, she said. KU is doing everything possible but some departments might not be. Hobart Jackson, professor of architecture, has been at the University since 1971. Jackson is a founding member of the Black Faculty and Staff Council. The council provides support for current African-American members and encourages faculty candidates with initiatives such as the Langston Hughes Professorship. Jackson has unofficially monitored the number of African and African-American faculty at the University the past decade, which he said has hovered at about 35. He said he became particularly concerned between spring and summer of 2003. The number of African and African-American faculty dropped by 20 percent from 35 to 28. He said the reasons varied from career advancement to retirements to negative tenure reviews. Of seven faculty members who departed, he said he thought four left because of issues related to tenure. One issue all KU faculty may be subject to is a lack of support in their departments. Where ethnic minority faculty may run into trouble is when their area of re-

Joshua Bickel/KANSAN

search is focused on minority issues. Such issues may or may not be valued by majority, or white, mainstream faculty, Jackson said. McCluskey-Fawcett disputed the idea that minority faculty would leave because of tenure issues, citing statistics showing a relative balance between tenure rates for minorities and non-minorities. In Fall 2004, about 52 percent of minorities had tenure and nearly 66 percent of nonminorities had tenure. Jackson cautioned that there

was much left to be done to increase the levels of diversity at the University. Simply stated, there continues to be problems with both recruitment and retention of faculty of color at KU. Progress has been made since when I came here but much more progress remains to be accomplished, Jackson said. Other schools in Kansas have levels of diversity similar to that at the University. According to each schools Web site, 13.2 percent of fac-

ulty at Kansas State were minorities, 159 out of 1,209, as of Oct. 1, 2001. At Emporia State, 7.9 percent of faculty were minorities, 21 out of 266, during the 2003-2004 academic year. Wichita State said 74 percent of its faculty members identified themselves as white in the Fall of 2004. Fort Hays State said 4 percent of its faculty and staff were minorities in 2000.

Rights come from God Design debate: Darwin dar-loses

In his Oct. 27 guest commentary entitled Abortion unalienable right, David Armstrong argues in favor of the abortion rights saying that he is prochoice because [he] believe[s] in privacy, womens rights, healthy families, population control and freedom. Most of his arguments sound more like Sanger-esque eugenics than anything having to do at all with rights. But, thats another discussion entirely. So, to put rst things rst, one must rst recognize from where mans rights come before he can start claiming that this or that is one of mans unalienable rights. Whereas the secularist believes that man is created in the image and likeness of pond scum (truly an awe-inspiring image), people of faith believe that man is created in the image and likeness of God. According to this secular reasoning, man should have no rights in and of himself. If man is, as the secularist would have people believe, only a collection of random materials brought together through random forces, what dignity does that instill in him? What importance has he over a rock or tree? Rocks do not

It would be awfully arrogant of man to think that he deserves better than these things which exist for the same reasons he does. Similarly, ones rights do not come from the government. Even liberal secularists should agree with this precept. When asked where their rights come from, most people will answer that it is the Constitution that provides them their rights. But, the Constitution does not provide rights; it guarantees them. If it was the governments prerogative to give its citizens their rights, should it not also be within its authority to take them away? With every right they perceive being taken away through the Patriot Act and constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, those, such as Armstrong, who say that we must keep God out of the public sector continue to reap what they sew. Without

any absolute moral standard, how can one claim any recognition of an absolute, unalienable right? It is from his likeness to God that man draws his dignity. Belief in the rights of men must stem from the recognition that man was created for a purpose. Human dignity and human rights come from the simple fact that men are here for a reason. If my life has no meaning, then I have no need for a right to life. Without a right to life, what need have I for any other rights? A belief in the worth of any person is contingent on a belief in a purpose for that person; it is contingent upon recognition of his likeness to God. If man is the greatest thing to ever exist, then it is a pretty poor situation he is in. It is one thing to debate whether or not God might be pro-choice or pro-gay marriage or anything else. But, when faith is pushed out of the picture, the debate becomes a moot point since mans rights are meaningless, because, apart from his relation to God, man has no rights.

Two theories of evolution exist, and they are quite different. The rst is a well-documented fact: microevolution genetic variation within a species; for example, Charles Darwins nches and the size variation of their beaks. The second type, macroevolution, or creation evolution, attempts to answer the question How did we get here? Creation evolution is a story of chemicals spontaneously coming together long ago in a primordial soup, naturally becoming a living cell, unintentionally evolving into more complex organisms and eventually into human beings. Alternatively, the intelligent design hypothesis offers the answer that we were created by an intelligent creator. Primordial soup is the term given to the mixture of chemicals that sorted themselves together into more complex organic molecules according to the theory of creation evolution. The soup theory relies on the assumption that organic molecules later combined into cells. To have faith that the soup is a legitimate source of life raises problems and objections. Oxygens presence would have destroyed the early organic molecules needed for life to form because it is so reactive. However, if no oxygen was present on the early Earth, there would have been no ozone layer and ultraviolet radiation from

the sun and other stars would have been intense enough to break the chemical bonds in the organic molecules. Therefore, whether oxygen was present, the primordial soup hypothesis is cooked. Creation evolution fails to nd factual evidence to defend its hypothesis, while the intelligent design hypothesis offers a plausible explanation to lifes beginnings. But, advocates of intelligent design should not criticize science itself. Instead they should criticize the scientic claims that lack supporting evidence, like creation evolution. Darwin was the rst person to propose the idea of creation evolution. He hypothesized that organisms become more complex over time and naturally evolve into new species. Darwin also admitted that the one thing that would debunk his hypothesis is a lack of a transitional species, such as a reptile that had evolved into a bird, in fossils that have been recorded. What do we nd in the fossil record? We nd countless species who have not evolved in a transitional manner and a miniscule amount of transitional

species. Meanwhile, intelligent design offers valid explanations for the origins of life. At the molecular level of our biological systems, we are crammed with pathways that can only be explained by design. One example is the human blood-clotting system. If one protein is lost, the whole system loses its function. The chance a system like this could randomly evolve all at once is about the same chance you would have of picking up a single, specic grain of sand. We are aware of our intelligence. We have a conscience and mind that allow us to make complex judgments and decisions. These things set us apart from all other animals on earth. Here is an important question: How would unintelligent evolution explain the appearance of intelligent beings? If the scientic community backs creative evolution originally proposed by Charles Darwin, then the burden lies on the scientic community to practice good science by testing hypotheses, nding and reporting facts in an unbiased fashion and not assuming anything until facts can defend the original hypothesis. The facts are in and they point to an intelligent designer, not a porous story of natural origins. Elliott is an Overland Park junior in biochemistry.

Jayplay label homophobic

David Ta and Ryan Joy are more than roommates. They are committed life partners who have been together for years. Your feature story, Taming of the Tabby, from the Oct. 27 edition of Jayplay revises and minimizes that element of their lives, shamelessly presenting them as two roommates with some cats. This type of journalistic erasure is not only homophobic and closed-minded, but is unethical in that it intentionally misrepresents two people. They are open and honest about who they are, and that should have been reected in the article. Some may contend that their sexual orientation is not a key issue in the story, but their sexual orientation is a reality that should not be distorted with a roommate label. The relationship could have easily and nonobtrusively been reected in the story without making it a central element.

Abortion beliefs outdated, laughable

Ive read the Kansan everyday for two years and have never come across an article as laughable as David Armstrongs article claiming abortion as an unalienable-right. His attempt to justify the annual murder of 46 million human beings is backwards and anti-progressive. The idea that the world has approached a population limit is outdated and academically dishonest. Hitler used this idea to advocate war and David provides no facts to support the claim. The United Nations reports that quality of life is higher in more densely populated countries and food supplies have doubled in the last 40 years. Such over-population nonsense only opens the door for policy discussion on euthanasia, forcedsterilization and genocide. Secondly, its time to put the coat-hanger abortions myth to rest. Bernard Nathanson, an early abortionrights advocate, admitted to completely falsifying such numbers as 10,000 deaths per year. Reliable statistics put the number closer to 120. Besides, legal murder of millions is not justied by isolated incidents of murder gone wrong. Davids article, like the abortion-rights movement, is full of holes and devoid of logic. We can only hope, as this movement continues to crumble, that mankind will forgo such narrow-mindedness, embracing a more enlightened view. Dennis Chanay is a Paola Sophomore

Dems close senate, with repercussion

Last Monday, Democrats unexpectedly called for a closed session of the Senate. The reason? To force our own beloved Senator Roberts to keep his promise to investigate the Bush administrations misuse of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war. While the bold move was welcome news to Democrats sick of seeing their party behave like eight-year-old bedwetters, it has enormous implications for all Americans. If, as the Republicans claim, there was no manipulation of intelligence, then they have nothing to fear from such an investigation. But if our worst fears are true, and our (sort-of) elected leaders deliberately lied to all of us to justify a war, then we have a right to know, and the Congress has a duty to nd out. We must demand that our Republican senators do their job and investigate the President, even if they are playing on the same team. Drew Schendel Lawrence law student

1a however, follow right behind the fans carrying the posts as they maneuvered them through the almost-not-big-enough fence at Memorial Stadium. Although it may only be her freshman year, Luscman said she understood the magnitude of this victory. People were talking all week how we hadnt beat them in so long and to be able to see it is amazing, she said. I have never been a part of the losing streak, but I am glad that we started a new winning streak. Coach Mark Mangino whole-heartedly recognized the end of the losing streak. I am just glad that the streak has ended because it was really getting on my nerves, Mangino said with a grin.

After entering the locker room immediately after the game, Kansas players re-emerged a few minutes later at the south end zone to receive a final applause from the Jayhawk faithful. You see the smiles on the fans faces who have been around through the wins and losses of KU and Nebraska and it was great to see them smiling, said Charlton Keith, senior defensive end. After tearing down the goalpost and falling to the ground, Allison reappeared in the crowd of fans snuggled together to get through the fence. After those few minutes, Allisons celebration was far from being over. We are going to the lake, Allison said. It is just so awesome to be a part of this. Edited by Nate Karlin On Saturday, it was all about Kansas achievement. Media around the country even joined in on the fun. Every network showing football flashed the score once the game concluded, and ABC, CBS and ESPN each discussed the Kansas football team and the strides it has made. On ESPNs College Gameday Final, Rece Davis, the shows host, even sang the Rock Chalk Chant during a highlight package. On air, he said he wanted to do something special for all the Jayhawk fans watching. Later, he told me Kansas was starting to get national respect, so much so that people around the ESPN studios were starting to take notice. Weve talked a bit on the set about how tough the KU defense has been, Davis said in an e-mail. I think most of us believe they can win their last home game and become bowl eligible.

12a It was the classiest gesture visiting fans have ever displayed in Lawrence, and it summed up the entire afternoon. Here were the die-hard Nebraska fans, the ones who cherished every second of that 36-year streak against Kansas, saluting the team they didnt drive to see. Thats what made Saturdays victory so special. It didnt matter where you went to school; the only thing anyone could focus on after Kansas defeated Nebraska was how the streak had finally ended. For Nebraska, it didnt matter that the Cornhuskers remained one victory short of bowl eligibility, and that the decision to replace former Nebraska football coach Frank Solich with Bill Callahan is looking worse every day. For Kansas, no one cared that basketball season was less than a week away. There would be plenty of time to discuss those topics later.

It didnt take long for Mark Simmons to make an impact in Saturdays 40-15 victory against Nebraska. Simmons, a senior wide receiver, struck on just the fifth offensive play of the game for Kansas. He streaked down the sidelines, broke toward the middle of the field and caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jason Swanson for an early 7-0 lead. Because Swanson had started only one game before Saturday, he and Simmons havent had much experience playing together during games. But it wasnt apparent Saturday, as the two connected six times for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Mark is known for making big plays, Swanson said. Thats just Mark being Mark. But that wasnt all for Simmons and Swanson. The duo struck again on Kansas first drive in the fourth quarter. Swanson led Kansas offense to the Nebraska 12-yard line on

third and goal. Swanson then disregarded the coaches original play and threw a lob pass to Simmons in the back of the end zone, right in front of thousands of Nebraska fans. That touchdown extended the Jayhawks lead to 33-15. With his 100 yards in the game, Simmons moved past Richard Estell, 1982-85 receiver, into second place on the KU all-time receiving yards list with 2,031 in his career. Simmons is now 235 yards away from the alltime mark of 2,266 set by Willie Vaughn, 1985-88 receiver. Simmons also caught a pass for the 33rd consecutive game and caught his 14th and 15th career touchdowns Saturday. Two weeks ago in Kansas 4413 loss at Colorado, Simmons set the school record for career receptions. Simmons said after Saturdays game, the victory against Nebraska was much better than any records he held. Records are meant to be broken, so I know its just a matter of time before someone breaks my record, Simmons said. But no one can take this away from me. This is truly a moment that

no one can take away, and it feels great. After the game, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he was pleased with the Swanson and Simmons duo and was impressed with Swansons ability to change plays at the line of scrimmage. Mangino said Swanson did make a couple of mistakes, but that they were correctable. They had their great moments, but Swanson and Simmons both werent perfect on Saturday. Swanson threw an interception in the second quarter, but, fortunately for Kansas, Nebraska didnt score on its ensuing offensive drive. Simmons also had a blemish on the day when he fumbled a 16-yard pass from Swanson. Nebraska picked up the fumble and scored on its fourth offensive play. Swanson has been spending extra time with Simmons and all the receivers on the practice field the past couple of weeks working on routes and timing, which he said made a big impact on Saturdays victory.

Extra Points:
The 51,750 who attended the game on Saturday were the most ever to see a game at Memorial Stadium. The 40 points scored by Kansas were the most the team has ever scored against Nebraska. Simmons moved into second place all-time on the Kansas receiving yards list. He currently has 2,031 receiving yards. The victory moved Kansas to 5-0 at home this season. ing sacked in the end zone for a safety, cutting the lead to 7-2. Ronnie Amadi blocked a punt that was recovered by Darren Russ, who returned it 20 yards for the touchdown, giving Kansas a 14-2 lead. Kansas nearly gave the touchdown back when Nebraska returned it 100 yards for a touchdown, but an illegal block in the back by Nebraska negated the return. Nebraska drove 64 yards on just six plays to score a touchdown on a 1-yard touchdown run from running back Cory Ross. That touchdown cut the score to 17-15, but Nebraskas two-point conversion attempt was intercepted. That was the closest Nebraska would come, with Kansas then rattling off 23 unanswered points to put the game out of reach. 16 - Points scored by Kansas defense and special teams.

Bears rise despite blowout

Editors Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas football writers, as well as Kellis Robinett, sports editor, and Eric Sorrentino, associate sports editor. Apparently, losing by 62 points at home is a good thing. How else can you explain Baylor rising to ninth in this weeks poll? Baylor was ranked 10th last week, after losing to Texas Tech, but gained ground after being thrashed 62-0 by No. 1 Texas. It was the first time all year the Bears hadnt played their opponent tough, but the Longhorns are blowing everyone out lately. Nebraska didnt have the same kind of luck. After losing 40-15 to Kansas on Saturday, the Cornhuskers fell to 10th place. One voter went as far as ranking Nebraska last. While it is experiencing a losing streak right now, that assessment was extreme. Oklahoma State has a permanent hold on last place until it gets a conference victory. Kansas and Iowa State both moved in the right direction following victories. The Cyclones lost too many games early on to be a factor in the Big 12 North race, but no one is going to want to play them down the stretch. Iowa State has scored more than 40 points in its last two games. The Jayhawks also scored 40 points this weekend and are on a two-game winning streak of their own. Winning in Austin, Texas, this Saturday will be a tall order, but even a close loss will likely move Kansas up in the rankings. Edited by Ty Beaver

Key Plays:
Facing a third and 10 on the Nebraska 40-yard line, Swanson hit Simmons on a slant route. Simmons took the pass to the end zone to put Kansas up 7-0. It was the first time Kansas had scored on its opening drive this season. Nebraska responded with a 57-yard kickoff return but the Kansas defense once again held and forced Nebraska to punt. That punt pinned the Jayhawks at their own 3-yard line, which led to Swanson be-

Key Stats:
2 - Kansas running backs with 100 yards rushing or more. 1 - Kansas wide receiver with 100 yards receiving. 428 - Yards of total offense for Kansas, its second highest output of the season. 3 - Tackles for loss by senior defensive end Charlton Keith, including a sack.

Cheers to the KU defense. No doubt it has become the favorite of the Jayhawk faithful. During pregame introductions, its players got the loudest cheers, and Charlton Keith and company continued to show that theyre one of the best defenses in the nation. Cheers to KU coaches, offense, defense and special teams. For the first time all season, fans didnt have much to complain about. It was the most complete performance under Kansas football coach Mark Mangino. Cheers for the second week in a row to the KU fans. Despite the grossly large contingent of Cornhusker fans in attendance, the Jayhawk fans had Memorial Stadium rocking and were decibels louder than their northern neighbors. Best line: Its the Canuck times two factor. Anytime Clark Green runs the ball, if it would have been Jon Cornish, the play would have gone

The goalposts came down again, but this time the postgame celebration was legitimate. The first victory over the Cornhuskers since 1968 warranted it. Jeers to whoever knocked over Charles Gordon after the game. Gordon lay face-first on the ground for several minutes and eventually limped off the field.

12a Everywhere I went, no matter what, letters from nice people who have been associated with the University for a long, long time, writing me letters about what it means to them. They will do anything to get a win over Nebraska. Today we dont have to deal with that anymore. Mangino said he received numerous letters at his home and at his office asking him to beat Nebraska. They couldnt deal with it anymore, as one fella told me. I dont know what that means, Mangino said. They would do anything we wanted them to do to help them win the game. I said cheer loud. That would suffice. But as much as the victory meant to KU fans, Mangino said beating Nebraska meant more to the players. The jubilation in the locker room was unprecedented, junior running back Jon Cornish said. We have never celebrated so hard, and been so happy for one victory. Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons emphasized that he was 0-3 against Nebraska and was happy to beat the Cornhuskers before he left the program. For the seniors to go out and beat a top

program like Nebraska, it is a great feeling, Simmons said. The players also enjoyed watching the fans rush the field to celebrate. I am pretty light-headed to be honest with you. It is just a rush. These are just things that you grow up dreaming about, senior linebacker Banks Floodman said. To end a streak like this, and to beat a team like Nebraska at home and watch your fans celebrate and have the fun they were having after the game. I just cant explain how I feel. It is just so much fun to be a part of. The dominating performance by all units on the team was evident. The Jayhawks got touchdowns from each unit during the game. The Kansas defense showed why it was the countrys No. 2 ranked rushing defense, at the time, because it held Nebraska to just 138 yards of total offense. Kansas also forced a safety in the third quarter and got a defensive touchdown when senior linebacker Kevin Kane returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown. The victory was especially memorable for Kane whose father played for Nebraska during the 70s. I grew up a Nebraska fan, Kane said. To know that for 36 years this town has

suffered a Nebraska triumph every year, it is good for me to know that it finally ended and I am happy to have my name on the roster. But the defense, this time, has to share the games spotlight. The special teams unit blocked a punt for a touchdown and the offense was led by two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver. The KU offense held the ball for 10 more minutes than Nebraska and accumulated 428 yards of total offense. They were the most yards Kansas has had since totalling 435 yards against Appalachian State earlier in the season. Mangino was happy about the controlled efforts of the teams three units. Someone cant say, Well you won ugly or you eaked one out and finally got this streak ended. No, we played well, Mangino said. We came to play to well and played extremely well. We deserved to win the ballgame. There is no question. Cornish rushed for 101 yards in just 10 carries and senior running back Clark Green rushed for 100 yards on 22 carries. Simmons had 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Kansas hasnt had two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver in the same game since 1980.

The Jayhawks started the game strong by scoring a touchdown on their first offensive possession. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson threw to Simmons across the middle and Simmons took the ball 40 yards to the end zone. It was the first time all season that Kansas had scored on its first offensive drive. On its next offensive drive, Swanson was sacked in the end zone for a Nebraska safety, making the score 7-2. Kansas scored a special teams touchdown later in the first quarter when senior linebacker Darren Rus returned a blocked punt by senior cornerback Ronnie Amadi, 20 yards for the touchdown to extend the Kansas lead to 14-2. The Jayhawks would later add a field goal in the quarter to up the score to 17-2. Nebraska fought back, however, scoring a touchdown just before the first half ended to make the score 17-9. Nebraska cut the lead to 17-15 midway through the third quarter, but failed to convert the two-point conversion. That was the closest Nebraska would come before Kansas rattled off 23 unanswered points to finally lay the streak to rest. Edited by Nate Karlin

Players nearly trampled

KANSAN STAff WRITER

In the excitement that followed Saturdays game, four football players were knocked over and nearly trampled. Thousands of fans rushed the field following Kansas 40-15 victory against Nebraska, which caused problems for players and fans. Two players who were nearly trampled were junior wide receiver Charles Gordon and senior line-

backer Nick Reid, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Sunday. None of the players were seriously hurt Mangino said. He did say that Gordon was injured, but not significantly. We dont think it will be anything major that will keep him from any work, Mangino said. It couldve been a serious problem with Charles. Were just kind of lucky it wasnt. Mangino added that Gordon told him he would be fine. Mangino did not blame the fans for the players being

knocked over. It wasnt intentional. It was just everybody having fun. We just got to be careful, Mangino said. Mangino encountered a young boy on the field, about 7 or 8 years old. The boys father was trying to shake Manginos hand, when the coach stumbled over the boy. Several young children were spotted on the field while fans took the goalposts out of Memorial Stadium. This is supposed to be a great day and I hope nobody gets hurt out here, Mangino said.

Many people express their opinions, and you might need to listen, but dont feel that you necessarily have to follow through on them. You have a strong sense of which direction to go. Listen to your inner voice. Your emotional responses generally will be righton. If you are single, you might find relating a bit tough, as others could be challenging and unstable. This behavior could change if youre moonstruck by someone. Your positive attitude might flow into your bond. If you are attached, your partner might be a lot more assertive than in the past. Let this person have his or her day and point of view. AQUARIUS tends to make situations confusing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Your fire could break through at any moment. Just pick and choose your words with care. Confusion surrounds meetings and talks. Work with a partner. Listen to this person carefully; he or she has logic behind his or her words. Tonight: Remember your goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Frustration mounts at work. Youre hot under the collar. You might not be able to identify what is really getting to you. Take some time to think through your feelings and how you have been hurt. Tonight: Check in with an older friend or relative. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Take the high road and try not to get caught up in strong feelings. You will need to deal with them, but take your time. A knee-jerk response wont be on target. The facts might be distorted right now. Tonight: On a factfinding mission. Talk about feelings with someone who understands you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You mean well, but whatever you do seems to backfire. Use care with investments, insurance policies and other important dealings. Someone might randomly let loose and get angry at you. Distance yourself. Tonight: Get into a hobby in which you can forget your problems. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH Although you have the best intentions, you might be in the middle of a gigantic backfire. Tempers seem to flare up. You could be frustrated, as logic doesnt work. Emotions run high. Step back. Tonight: Think positively. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might want to think about what goes on today rather than participate. Confusion and high emotions mix together. Ask questions and attempt to clear the haze. Maintain your sense of humor. Tonight: Yap up a storm. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be smart -- pull out of hot issues before you become too involved. Avoid risks -- financial and emotional. Someone might be on the warpath. Realize that someone is not telling you the whole story. Tonight: Ever playful. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You cannot win for losing. No matter which way you turn, you encounter an issue. Be smart -- rise above the problems and go in your own direction. Understand that others, including you, could be under pressure. Tonight: Head home. Screen calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might surprise yourself with just how irritated you can get seemingly out of the blue. What is going on might be the result of sitting on your feelings. The time has come to talk. Tonight: Start sharing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might have expenses that you hadnt anticipated. How you deal with them could be very different than usual. Be open to a new approach. Others might trigger strong reactions. Claim your power. Tonight: Do necessary financial research. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be oblivious to what is happening around you, but others are grumbling. A domestic matter emerges, which you might have to handle. Stay calm even if others cannot. Tonight: What makes you happy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH Sometimes you need to duck. Right now, many different conflicts and needs could come into play. Do as much behind closed doors as possible. Stay cool and do what you need to do. Dont trigger. Tonight: Early to bed, or at least let others think that you are unavailable.

Wes Santee, former Kansas track and eld athlete, will be inducted in the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame in New York City on Dec. 1. Santee is one of seven inductees in the Hall of Fame class of 2005 to be recognized at the Jesse Owens Awards and Hall of Fame Ceremony. He was a three-time U.S. outdoor champion and also competed in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics in the 5,000 meter event. Santee set a world record in the 1,500-meter run on June 4, 1956 with a time of 3:42.8. He set the indoor mile world record in 1954 with a time of 4:04.9 and

broke the same record a year later with a time of 4:03.8. At Kansas, Santee won the 5,000-meter title in 1952, the NCAA cross country title in 1953, and the NCAA outdoor mile title in 1954. The Track and Field News ranked Santee as high as No. 2 in the 800-meter run in 1953. He was ranked as high as second in the 1,500-meter run in the same year. All of us at USA Track and Field look forward to these alltime greats taking their rightful places in the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, USA Track and Field CEO Craig Masback said. All seven made indelible and unique contributions to the heritage of our sport, and they couldnt be more deserving of this honor. The names of the other six

hall of fame inductees were announced Nov. 3 in New York, at the site of the hall of fame. The other six members will be University of Pittsburghs Roger Kingdom, UCLAs Mike Powell, Arkansas track and eld coach John McDonnell, Olympian Earlene Brown, Yales Jim Fuchs and Rices Fred Wolcott. I take great pride in welcoming the Class of 2005 into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, USA Track and Field president Bill Roe said. These remarkable individuals have made tremendous contributions to the legacy of USA Track and Field, and I congratulate them for all their accomplishments. Edited by Ty Beaver

KANSAS CITY, Mo. There was an empty seat Sunday near the 30-yard line amid the sellout in Arrowhead Stadium. Security men promised Trent Green it would stay empty, too. From an emotional standpoint, this was probably as draining as any game Ive been a part of, said Kansas Citys exhausted quarterback. Four days after laying his father and No. 1 fan to rest, Green played through a pain that does not get noted on the injury report. Ever since their son had joined the Chiefs in 2001, Jim and Judy Green had come to the stadium hours before kickoff and tailgated with other fans.

They had never missed a game. But Jim Green died unexpectedly on Oct. 27 the age of 58. He was buried on Wednesday and on Sunday, several hours before the Chiefs hosted the Oakland Raiders, Trent was the one who came early. I put a little sign, or a little tribute on the seat and kind of taped the seat so nobody would sit on it, he said. Hopefully the message got across. Somebody could always just rip the tape up and sit down. But security saw me doing it and they said, `Well keep an eye on it. It really meant a lot. Judy and her other two children had already decided they simply could not bear to be at the stadium. They watched at home as Trent redirected his

thoughts away from the shock and sorrow long enough to throw for 235 yards and a touchdown in a dramatic 27-23 victory. It wasnt something they all felt comfortable with, Green said. And I completely understood. I supported it 100 percent. My brother and sister and their spouse and my mom it just became too emotional. Hes never missed a game in Arrowhead. Theyve gotten to know a lot of people who sit around them and that would have been very difcult for them and they just werent ready for it. They felt bad because they werent there to support me. Green told security people he didnt mind if anyone moved down to take the seats his mom and siblings had always occupied. But his dads seat was different. It was very emotional, he said.

Kansas plays catch-up

past teams. Im really proud of our racing. She also competed in the eight, which she said was a strong race for the team. Compared to last weekends race in Iowa City, the team felt stronger and in better shape, she said. Twelve women competed in the womens championship singles. The women encountered rough water, which made it slightly tougher to row their best. Jennifer Ebel finished the best, coming in fifth. Kansas entered two boats in the womens open eight race. Catloth said the women were tired, but they still managed to walk away with second and fourth places in the event. It was a pretty demanding weekend for the team, Catloth said. They did really well and raced hard. I think theyre all ready to get home and get rested up for next weekend. Not only did the team have a good weekend because of strong racing, but they were able to see their good racing on television. The Weather Channel traveled to Chattanooga on Friday and filmed each day of the regatta from 7 to 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. They interviewed athletes and showed the races. The Head of the Hooch committee was happy to show a world class rowing regatta, said to headofthehooch.org. We were just on TV! Alia Bober said, after seeing the channel. It was really cool seeing us on there. The teams next event is the Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan next Saturday. Edited by Katie Lohrenz

In two days, the womens rowing team raced more than 12 miles at the 25th annual Head of the Hooch regatta in Chattanooga, Tenn. Events started Saturday morning and continued Sunday morning on the Tennessee River. On Saturday, Kansas entered two boats in the womens championship eight race. One took seventh with a time of 16:44.8, four seconds behind Central Florida. The other KU boat took 15th place with a time of 17:18.0, two seconds behind the Texas womens crew. The team took second and fifth places in the womens championship double and fourth in the womens championship four with a time of 19:25.2. Miami beat Kansas for third place by only two seconds. Each race had about 25 boat entries. Coach Rob Catloth was pleased that the team kept up with top-ranked teams, such as Duke, who took first in the womens championship double, 10 seconds ahead of Kansas second place. The team had some of its best races senior Paige Phillips said. Racing in the four was probably my best race at KU, it was amazing, she said. We really powered together and flew right

As she put on a Kansas uniform for the first time, Shaquina Mosley couldnt help but be nervous. The thought of her first Division I basketball game and her first game in Allen Fieldhouse stirred butterflies in her stomach. The nervousness didnt last long, though. Mosley, junior guard, finished the game with 13 points, four assists and a steal in 24 minutes. I didnt think about it as Kansas basketball, Mosley said. I just thought of it as basketball and pick-up ball. I knew I just needed to play my game. Despite coming into the program as a point guard, Mosley said shes beginning to adjust to playing the shooting guard position as well. Mosley played the shooting guard when she was in the game at the same time as starting freshman point guard Ivana Catic. Catic accumulated six points, six assists and five steals in 25 minutes on the floor. Both Catic and Mosley pushed the ball in

transition, helping Kansas outscore Pittsburg State 8-2 in fast break points. Kansas womens basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said she let her two new point guards, Mosley and Catic, call more offensive plays than she ever had. Theyve earned that opportunity in practice and right now have proven to be pretty good decision makers, Henrickson said. Catic and Mosley combined for only one turnover at the point guard position. Despite being labeled as out of shape by Henrickson earlier in the season, freshman Sophronia Sallard contributed 13 points, four rebounds and a block in 12 minutes, coming off the bench. She scored 11 of her points in the second half, when she played for nine minutes. When she can breathe, she can be a pretty good player, Henrickson said. Senior guard Erica Hallman said she was encouraged with the play of the newcomers in their first collegiate game. They came out with a lot of energy, Hallman said. Theyre going to come out and contribute right away, Edited by Jonathan Kealing

Junior guard Shaquina Mosley lays the ball up past Pittsburgh State junior center Maggie Apt during the second half. Mosley had 13 points and four assists during the 90-65 victory Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. Freshman guard Ivana Catic said the high score would be normal. Thats the style that we want to play, because not a lot of teams like that, she said. Womens basketball notes: F Kemps 24 points fell just shy of her career high of 27, recorded against Missouri, last year. F Hallman left the game in the second half after taking a hard fall on her knee. After the game she said the injury was not severe. F The attendance for the game was 2,017 people, including a sizable contingent of Pittsburg State fans who traveled to the game. Edited by Jonathan Kealing

12a Womens basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said the team installed a press defense last week to try to force turnovers. The teams depth allowed it to substitute fresh players off the bench and keep a high level of intensity. While it was effective in creating 28 turnovers, at times players were caught out of position, allowing Pittsburg State easy baskets. Defensively, certainly, weve got a lot of room for improvement, Henrickson said. The game was played in streaks, with the Jayhawks building a 14-1 lead before Pittsburg State coach
continued from page

Basketball

Steve High called timeout. I think their extended pressure really gave us some problems, High said. He said his team was able to gather itself and start denying easy shots later in the first half, sparking a comeback that brought the Gorillas within five points of the lead. Coming out of the locker room after halftime, the Jayhawks turned up the defensive pressure, stopping the Gorilla offense once again. On the other side of the ball, the Jayhawks began to find better shots, and rebuilt a large lead. These kids have been unselfish since we got here, Henrickson said. We had great respect for their willingness to give up the ball and

get someone else the high-percentage shot. With just more than 10 minutes to play in the game, sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh drew her fourth foul, then 10 seconds later fouled out of the game. Kansas had six players collect at least three fouls, and had 28 as a team. Pittsburg State was able to convert on only 54 percent of its free throws, however. Henrickson attributed the increase in fouls to an NCAA rule prohibiting a defender from placing her arm on the player she is guarding. We can like or not like the rule change, she said, but we have to adjust.

Fall season ends with tournament lapse

The Kansas womens golf team placed 16th out of 17 teams at the Derby Invitational in Auburn, Ala., this weekend. Leading the way for the Jayhawks was senior Chelsey Pryor, who tied for 18th place with a three-round score of 225 for nine over par. After Pryor was sophomore Annie Giangrosso, tied for 61st, followed by juniors Meredith Winkelmann and Amanda Costner and sophomore Sarah Kierl. Costner had finished in the top seven in Kansas previous four tournaments, but shot a 244 to finish 76th this weekend. Starting with Fridays first round, the Jayhawks failed to build momentum. Kansas shot a team score of 317 which put it already 26 , strokes behind the first days leader and 15 strokes away from being in the top 10.

The Kansas swimming and diving team has a lot to celebrate. The Jayhawks defeated both the Iowa Hawkeyes and Missouri State Bears in the double dual meet Friday evening at a packed and spirited Robinson Natatorium. Kansas defeated Iowa 175.5-120.5 and Missouri State 112-28. Although the double defeat added to the already strong momentum of the team, a surprise came Friday even before the meet began. The team entered the Colorado Swimming Coaches Association of America Division I Top 25 Poll for the first time since 1997, at No. 24. We were not expecting the rankings to come out today, coach Clark Campbell said. We now have a big target on us. A total of 10 polls will be released throughout the season, with a new poll every two to three weeks. Campbell was impressed with the teams performance Friday evening. We are a young team, and I had no idea they were going to mature so quickly, Campbell said. Campbell said he was worried about the talented Iowa team going into the meet, but he was proud of the Jayhawks ability to bounce back after the meet against Missouri last weekend that pushed them into the top 25. Top performances Friday included senior co-captain Gina Gnatzigs victories in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events.

Freshman Ashley Leidigh captured victories in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly events as well as the 100-yard freestyle event. She was also a member of the winning 400-yard freestyle relay team, along with Gnatzig, senior Lindsey Urbatchka and sophomore Terri Schramka. Freshman Molly Brammer captured first place in the 1650-yard freestyle. Freshman Shanna Bradbury and Danielle Herrmann both recorded victories, Bradbury in the 400-yard individual medley and Herrmann in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events. Herrmann, Urbatchka, Schramka and junior Jenny Short combined efforts to win the 200-yard medley relay. Campbell was also impressed with freshman Rhynn Malloys finishes in both breaststroke events. Malloy placed third in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:07.70. She placed second behind Herrmann in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:25.29. Ive been training really well this week to get back into the groove of things, Malloy said. When Malloy was recruited, Kansas was not a ranked team. I am so excited. Its amazing to be ranked after the fourth week, Malloy said. Kansas will have a week-long break before heading to Minnesota to compete in the Minnesota Invite on Nov. 18-20. Malloy said the Jayhawks will continue training, but may have a couple days of rest. The Minnesota Invite will be a midseason test for the Jayhawks, Malloy said. Edited by Katie Lohrenz

Last-second gamble pays off for Chiefs

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dick Vermeil was going to be the biggest fool or the shrewdest gambler in the NFL. With 5 seconds left, Kansas City trailed by three and had the ball on the Oakland 1, and Vermeil faced one of the toughest decisions of his long coaching career. Have place-kicker Lawrence Tynes kick a virtually automatic field goal and force overtime? Or roll the dice and go for the win? Vermeil went for the TD. Behind center Casey Wiegmann and 10-time Pro Bowl right guard Will Shields, Larry Johnson dived over the pile into the end zone for a 27-23 victory that left the emotional head coach in tears.

Its finally over. After 36 straight years of pain and frustration losing to Nebraska, Kansas put together a complete performance on Saturday that led to a 40-15 victory. The 40 points were the most Kansas has ever scored against Nebraska in the 112 meetings between the two teams. The streak ended after Kansas dominated all aspects of the game, including on offense, defense and special teams. Coaches and players spent the week leading up to the game answering questions about how they had not beat Nebraska since 1968. I am going to be honest with you, we needed to do something about this streak thing, it was starting to get on my nerves, said Kansas football coach Mark Mangino.

Husker fans show class, even in defeat

Amid the celebration that unfolded after Kansas defeated Nebraska 40-15 on Saturday, one group of fans stood out. It wasnt the guy walking around in Nebraska overalls holding a sign that read, I am stupid. Nor was it the large number of middle-aged Jayhawk fans running around like they were still in college. Not even the extreme optimists screaming bring on Texas were enough to take your eyes away from the Nebraska fans who chose to stay in Memorial Stadium until the bitter end. As the Jayhawks walked off the field, past a large section of Cornhusker fans, they werent greeted with boos. Instead, the sea of red rose to its feet and gave Kansas a standing ovation.
