THIS WEEK IN HUSKER HISTORY
The week of Nov. 11-17, looking back in five-year intervals
1897: There are hard feelings all around after Nebraska beats Kansas in Lincoln. To this day, the schools disagree on the final score -- 10-5 or 6-5.
1902: After a 7-0 win over Knox in the mud, there's praise for the Cornhuskers, who haven't yielded a point all season, and the university gets ready to seek admission into the Western Conference.
1912: Two long-distance touchdowns in the fourth quarter -- a 70-yard run by Ernest Frank and a 75-yard interception return by Warren Howard -- rally Nebraska to a 14-3 win over Kansas in Lincoln.
