AN EASY VICTORY.
Baker Defended by a Score, 14,
to 0-The Grounds, not in
Good Condition. Notes.
The Second exhibition game of foot ball last Friday, with Baker, was won by the Crimson with comparative ease. Although the day was cloudy and the heavens threatening, a crowd of seven hundred spectators gathered at the Massachusetts street grounds to witness the game. The games which K. S. U. and B. U. indulge in with one another are exciting and this one was no exception.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 27,1892
By 1:30 o'clock the Baker delegation had assembled upon the grounds and were quite profusely decked with the colors of their college, orange. But the crimson was there also in force, and long before the game was called, both factions indulged in their respective college vells.
The Baker team had the appearance of being as heavy, if not heavier than the University; their center rush, Pendleton, is a man, weighing two hundred and twenty pounds, and built from the ground up; he gave our center rush, Coleman, all he wanted to do. Crawford and Light perhaps put up the best game for the Bakerites. The University team played well, the tackling and blocking being decidedly superior to that of the Denver game. The grounds were too muddy and heavy to admit of many star plays, yet they were not lacking.
Matteson made some long runs and Shepard did good tackling. Williamson also put up a strong game; he is rather light but every inch a man when it comes to playing foot-ball. Baker found the opponent's rush line to be like a stone wall and her repeated onslaughts were of no avail. Coleman, Huddleston and Hammil played well, together. One conspicuous thing about the Baker team's playing is a lack of trained and experienced men. The team does not put up as strong a game as last year.
Hogg acted in the capacity of Referee and Rice, of Baker, Umpire. The "Varsity" won the toss and chose the north side.
Baker gets the ball however, forms a V, and the game begins. Ten yards are gained before the "Varsity" downed them, then seven more by Haskins, who is downed by Shepard. An attempt is made to crowd the ball through the center without any gain and still another; then Motter punts for 15 yards, Kinzie gets the ball, goes through Baker's rush line for ten yards and again for 5 yards; Champlain gains seven yards through left tackle, Piatt 8 yards through center, Champlain 5 yards; Piatt again goes through center, fumbles the ball which is siezed quickly by Huddlesen who gains 9 yards and Baker gets it on foul.
Haskins goes around right end, gains 9 yards; Potter around left end for 2 yards; Crawford 8 yards; Light makes no gain and Potter loses the ball. Kinzie gains 5 yards, Piatt 5 yards, Matteson makes a magnificent run, gains 25 yards, Champlain adds four more to that in two trials, Williamson bucks the center for 3 yards, Champlain, right tackle for 8 yards, Kinzie gains eight, Champlain 8 more Kinzie 4 and Williamson takes the ball through center and over the line; time 15 minutes; Piatt fails to kick goal.
Baker starts the ball rolling with the wedge play, gains 10 yards but is sent back to her rush line to try it over, not having kicked the ball. Again she repeats the play, according to Hoyle however, and gains 6 yards, then one more; Crawford gains 3 yards but fails in a second attempt to make any progress and the rubber passes into the hands of the 'Varsity team, five yards not having been made in three downs.
Matteson opens up the campaign with renewed vigor, gains 7 yards, Champlain 1 yard, Kinzie 6 yards, Mendell 10 yards, Matteson 2 yards, Williamson 6 yards, Kinzie 8 yards and Baker gets the ball on Platt's foul. No gain is made on first trial, 2 yards are lost on second trial, then a punt follows and Kinzie gets the ball.
Matteson starts it rolling for 15 yards, Williamson goes through center and scores a touch down, Piatt fails on goal; score stand 8 to 0. Time,20 minutes.
The fifteen minutes of rest being over both teams prepare for a hard struggle. The 'Varsity forms a gridiron, gains 16 yards, Matteson adds 6 to that, Kinzie 9 more on a pass ball, Piatt 3 and Matteson 11 yards more. Baker then gets the ball, bucks the center, gains 5 yards, Dum makes a good tackle,
Baker again forms a V, gains 6 yards, and then six more around left end. Crawford makes a good run, gains 15 yards, bucks the center for 3 yards more and in the next two trials no gain is made by Baker, and K. U. fondles the cherished leather. Matteson gets in his usual licks gains 15 yards; Kinzie follows this up with a magnificent play and gains 11 yards, Champlain 1 yard, Piatt 6 yards, Matteson 22 yards, Mendell 4 yards, Baker gets the ball again on foul when time is called for the first half.
again 4 yards are made, but none the next two downs and the ball goes to the 'Varsity team.
Mendell gains 8 yards, Kinzie makes a star play and gains a touch down, having run and gained just 16 yards. Piatt makes a good kick over goal and the game stands 14 to 0.
Baker gains 17 yards on the wedge play; 3 more is added to that and in the next play Motter gets hurt, Farrier is called on duty from the "sub" ranks, and takes Light's place who takes the position of full back and the game begins once more by Baker losing six yards. Crawford punts the ball 35 yards and K. U gets it. Mendell starts out by losing 4 yards and Piatt likewise, the ground being muddy cause it; then Piatt punts the egg shaped leather just 50 yards and Baker falls upon it like a thousand of brick; Potter gains 4 yards; fails in a second attempt to gain anything; Crawford is hurt but soon gets up and takes his medicine as in the days of yore when he played beneath the crimson banner of Harvard; Games gains 5 yards, and then five more; the center is bucked for 2 yards, Haskins gains 7 yards; only 4 yards being made in the next 3 downs, K. U. gets the ball. Champlain hits the road for 15 yards, Kinzie and Matteson 8 yards; Matteson again for 13 yards, Champlain 3 and Matteson 8 yards; Champlain gains 7 more, and Baker gets the ball on foul, gains 13 yards, fumbles the ball, which Piatt punts 30 yards. Mendell gains 8 yards, Matteson loses eight yards and Piatt punts. Baker fights desperately, gets the ball but soon loses it and time is called as Matteson loses 4 yards. The game was very exciting.
NOTES.
Shepard distinguished himself by good all around playing.
There was some slugging.
Baker has a good team but her material is not well developed.

Columbian Exercises.
Columbian exercises were held in chapel last Friday at ten o'clock. The first on the program was the song, Columbia, participated in by all; then the Chancellor made a few remarks and introduced the speaker of the day, Mr. J. W. Gleed who delivered an address on the life of Columbus.
He began by saying that little was known of Columbus and this became less and less each day as the countless number of critics multiply and increase. "It is the fashion in thought, now, as in dress, to over turn the existing state of things. True historic insight consists of pointing out the faults and blemishes of history. All that we know positively about Columbus is that HE WAS BORN. His father was a weaver. The lad was taught some latin and mathematics during his early years and at the age of fourteen years became a sailor." After a description of the life of Columbus, which was divided into four epochs, apprenticeship, struggle with the world, triumph and final disappointment, the speaker drew many moral lessons therefrom and applied them to college life. "It was, said he, during his apprenticeship at Pavia that Columbus really found America, it was while there that he mapped out his future course. So with all of us at college, our future depends on how our apprenticeship is served. Columbus had great faith and courage; come what will all will be well, was his motto. The age of forty was reached but nothing was done Ten more years passed by and still nothing was accomplished; a wife and family were dependent on him and yet he ploled on. Portugal would not listen to his plea for aid and yet he did not hesitate; England refused him and still he ploaded on. Spain hesitated but he pushed on and with the aid received from the Spanish court the famous navigator found sufficient means to prepare and launch a bark on the unknown seas. Columbus died poo and in disgrace.

TENNIS AT BAKER.
K. U. Wins the Return Games in both Doubles and Singles.
Last Saturday morning Messrs. Alden and Sherman procured a survey and started off for Baldwin determined to demonstrate to the students of Baker that K. U. was still in it, in tennis. They arrived shortly after noon and immediately repaired to the tennis courts where the Baker representatives and a large crowd of spectators were in waiting. It can be seen from the scores that Baker wasn't "in it" from the start. Sherman and Alden won three straight sets in doubles with the following scores: 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. Alden won three straights in singles, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0. Toomy and Kane represented Baker.
