Dutch Lonborg and his team, vividly remembering their dressing-room inétruc-
tions, lined up quickly, with Lonborg barking Harley Little's signal, "4g"
right half around left ond. After the first play following the kick-off, the fans
were still on thoir feet. ae

Quick as o flash the ball was snapped to Little, who lined up on a fake-kick
formation, but instoad Swept around left ond. The blocking was too perfect,
Little, allowing time for the blockers to take an Iowa Stato tackler out, cut back
from the sideline and on down the field, Now, only two defensive backs remained
as obstacles to his mad dash to the gonl. Kansas! offensive backs and guards
bowled the opposition over, and Kansas! Horley Little went over the Iowa goal lina,
standing up ond unhindered, for tho only score of the game. Sandefur kicked goal.
Score, Kansas, 7 ~- Iowa State, 0, ay a4

A seintillating dash of- 85 yd. was maneuvered over exactly the some terrain
as that describod to the team in the dream touchdown.

“Was it magic or hokun?" wondered the players as they left the field, Perhaps
they still wonder. So do I. But the play had worked successfully, and Konsas had
won the game. The game was the thing. S oRo

With the victory came many interesting angles of the analysis of the droon,
Morale took a new high with the football team. This mystic somethings. This
penotrable veil between tho reol and tho unreal! The victory was real, yet it:
now, too, seomed like a dream to tho men who had won it. Were they dreaming life
or living dreams? They wondered. 7 |

"Lucky," proclaimed the Iowa State players and thoir followers, But those |
Kansas gridsters who had listened to the pre-game dressing-room instructions knew
that Lady Luck had. been flirting with metaphysical fantasies that day e

Or was it the unusual ond mystic emphasis placed upon formation, number, 46,
that caused the Kansas blockers to clear the opposition away? Was it more than a
dream that left not one member of the Cyclone tean standing to bar the way to
Little's game-winning touchdown? lho knows? And, after all, what difference did
it make just then to the winners who had carried out their individual assignments?
It is the lystory of life that lures,

Many of you youngsters will not recognize the then young men of 1920. They
may be your fathers or your uncles at the present time. But to renew old rivalries
I will bring Iowa State back to the campus. Singularly, Iowa State plays Kansas at
Lawrence this year on October 6, 7

The Iowa State game was ployed after we had met and defeated Kansas State at
Manhattan, 13 to Q.. Charlie Bachman, who is now coaching Michigan State, was coache
ing his first Kansas State Wildcat team, Bachman had come from Northwestern Univ-
ersity where he had done right well with the Evanston Wildcats over a term of
several years. There was one interesting sidelight to the Kansas State game that
I think I should not fail to recount, Just before World War I, back about 1916,
Johnny Bender of Nebraska football fame, who is. now deceased, was coaching the
Konsas Staters. Guy Lowman, who passed away year bofore last at the University

of Viisconsin where he was head of the Departnont of Physical Education, was Ath-
letic Director. Those two strong men found life incompatible at Kansas State. So
violently did they disagree with cach other's policies that they were both asked
to resign. -
