~The high spot of the football season of 1920 was a game with Iowa
State at Lawrence in which Coach Allen had a dream in which he
pictured seven men in the Kansas line-up who had not been regular
starters.

Just before the start of the game on old McCook Field Allen told

his men of the dream, saying he believed in hunches. The night
before the game Allen had seen a Kansas airplane with the starting
line-up of the Kansas men in the fuselage. He saw the ship take ©
off from the west end of the field and fly in a northeasterly direc-
tion over to Kansas left side-line and then wing its way goalward
over the Iowa State goal line. (Old McCook Field ran east am west.)

Just before the whistle blew Allen gave the line-up to the startled
Kansas boys, seven of whom were not expecting to start. Harley
Little, a slender boy who had been troubled with indigestion, was
the man that Allen said he saw go over for the touchdown, flying
the Kansas ship.

As the dream was pictured the Iowa State boys stood with their hands
on their hips in a kick-off formation and saw the flight of the Kan-
sas ship.

Allen said to Dutch Lonborg, the quarter back, "Dutch, if we win
the toss, receive the kick-off." And then Allen directed Lonborg
to have the ball run up the center of the field to the right.
Iowa State defended the east goal, Allen said, "Dutch, play 46",

Kansas won the toss and chose to receive. Kenny Welsh, the diminu-
tive 133 lbs full back on the Kansas team, received the kick and
ran it up the field right and center for. 25 yards, Allen instruct-
ed Lonborg, the quarter back, on the first. play of the game to call
46, which was the right half around Kansas left end.
