The Regular Team Finishes the Season with a Clean Record. -Missouri Goes Down Fighting.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 2, 1892
By winning Saturday's game the pennant of four states, viz: Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas is given to Kansas University. Colorado and Illinois are also our victims.
The Missouri game was stubbornly contested. No doubt it was the hardest fought and most scientific game of the season. Both teams had made special efforts to pluck the penant and Kansas did the plucking as usual.
the west and defeated every one with a score of which any university might be proud. Prof. Shepard can not be given too much praise for his success in training and handling the team. The Kansas University finishes its second foot ball season with a clean record.
There was an immense crowd upon on the grounds. Fully five thousand people witnessed the game. Missouri was backed by a delegation from Columbia four hundred strong.
Both Columbia and Kansas put up an extraordinary game. Kansas excelled however in everything with one exception,—end runs. In this one respect Missouri was especially strong, having some feet
footed half backs.
Here are their weights after the game: Champlain, 157; Williamson, 133; Shepard, 147; Hammil, 191; Matteson, 175; Springer, 158; Coleman, 155; Huddleson, 149; Mendell, 159; Piatt, 166; Kinzie, 153.
The University team did splendid tackling and all around team work. Piatt as a blocker, Shepard as a tackler, Mendell and Matteson as runners, Champlain and Kinzie as line heavens, can not be excelled west of the Mississippi; then Coleman, Hammil, Huddleson and Williamson, put up a magnificent game. The Kansas City Times says that Springer is the best all around player on the team. He is good, no doubt, and showed his metal.
Cornell of Kansas City, acted as referee; Holden, of the same place, was umpire.
Kinzie won the toss and chose the north half of the grounds.

the ball, and playing a confident game gains eight yards on the wedge, and twenty-five yards in seven downs.
Then Shepard tackles Shawhan five yards back of the line. Eight more yards are gained when Lee Shawhan fumbles to Kinzie. Kinzie is sent around right end, but likewise, fumbles to Missouri. The enemy does not keep the ball longer than to make six yards.

Chalk vibrates through the air.
Champlain bucks left tackle seven consecutive times for a gain of forty yards. This carries the ball

ron and Champlain is sent up the field for fifteen yards. Champlain gains four more, Kinzie twelve and Diatt four. Mendell makes a star
run of fifteen yards and scores a touch down. The umpire claims that Piatt fouled and Mendell is called down eight
WHA-A-A-A-T! yards from the line and the ball is given to Missouri.
From this play on Missouri gains continually until fifty yards are to their credit, then Kansas takes the ball on downs but loses ground.
Missouri gets hold of the ball and keeps it until a touch down is made.
The cheering of the Missourisimply deafening. But a damper is poured upon their arder when the full back fails to kick goal. The score stands 6 to 4.

But the star play of the game is yet to be made by Kinzio.
Kansas forms a gridiron and gains fifteen yards. The ball is carried within ten yards of Missouri's goal line, then our opponents gain possession and by inferior playing on the part of Kansas and good end runs on the part of Missouri the ball is brought back within thirty yards of the Kansas line. Here the latter get possession and advance ten yards by means of the rolling wedge. Then the wedge is formed again. But it is not the intention of the Kansans to shove the ball through the center. The wedge
makes a rush, Missouri throws her whole strength on to it, thinking the ball is being sent through the center. Suddenly
AWFUL!!
from amidst the living mass of humanity Kinzie bounds with Piatt by his side to guard him. The Missouri full back sees them, leaps like a deer, in pursuit, but Piatt successfully guards him off and Kinzie gains sixty yards and a touch down. Piatt kicks a goal and the game stands 12 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
Thus did the Kansas regular team finish its glorious season with a clear and undefined record
and remains so till the close.

and again the regular eleven see written upon its silk banner, "Nev-
er Defeated," Hurrah! for our champions of the West!
NOTES.
Kinzie has made himself famous by his great run and the startling likeness which appear in the Times.
The Kansas City Times gave the game a fine write up. We are indebted to them for our illustrations.
Several tally-hos were out to the game. One of them was filled with Kappa Kappa Gammas,
The M. U. mascotte was very conspicuous during the game, but seemed to bring bad luck upon the team.
The Kansas City people are strong supporters of the yellow and black. But when we win we find them proud of the crimson.
The beautiful yellow and black silk banner which the M. U. boys carried so confidently, mysteriously found its way to Lawrence. After gracing our triumph it was returned.
The Kansas delegation in Chicago extend congratulations to K. S. U, and her foot ball club upon their victories; and assure them that Northwestern, Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota or Michigan University foot ball clubs would be "easy marks." H.F. Roberts.
Mr. Otis Potter dropped dead while in the University museum, about ten o'clock last Wednesday morning. The cause was evidently heart failure. Mr. Potter was in his 86tn year and had enjoyed excellent health, being a man of very temperate and correct habits. In company with his wife and some friends he was visiting the University museum, and had climbed Mount Oread and several flights of stairs, the exertion of which was probably too much for a man of his age.
Sudden Death of Mr. Potter.

If any one had said Sunday morning that the "Comet was a fake" we would have shaken our heads and said, we'll see, but we have not seen the comet and we stood out under the blue vaulted sky at mid-night and took a great big cold. Use "Frog in Your Throat" from Raymond's Drug Store.
