VICTORIOUS CRIMSON.
An Exciting Game of Foot Ball One man Injured-How the Boys Played-Notes.
A more perfect, ideal day for a game of foot ball could not be wished for then was last Saturday, at Denver. The sun shown down brightly and the Athletic grounds, though a little heavy from recent rains were in splendid condition. By 2:30 o'clock a large and enthusiastic crowd of five thousand people had assembled upon the grounds, and all these with perhaps a few exceptions wore the crimson and black, the D. A C's colors.
The grand stand was literally packed and around the ropes were hundreds who could not be accommodated. Streamers of crimson and black, tin horns and tin pans, tom-toms and cymballs were only a few of the instruments made use of by nearly every one in that large and restless audience. When the brawny Kansans, as they were styled, put in their appearance at 2:45 o'clock, they were met, much to their surprise, by an enthusiastic Rock Chalk. This of course was not expected and when inquiries were made it was discovered that a number of students from the School of Mines, at Golden, Col., had come down to the game for the express purpose of cheering the University boys on to victory. How they did yell! It seemed that they could not tire. All through the exciting game they cried Rock Chalk and did their utmost to cheer our boys on to victory. The Denver team looked winners when they appeared on the field, being far heavier and seemingly better fitted for the affray. The game was called promptly at three o'clock. The crimson won the toss for position and chose the west side, forcing the Denver boys to face the sun, the Kansans lost however, when they tossed to see who would get the ball and Archie Hogg, referee, placed it upon the Denver rush line, then the work began in earnest.
The Denverites formed a V with English as center and—the game was on. Twenty yards were made before the wedge was broken and from the crowd rang out in defiant tones, Rock Chalk from the boys who hailed from Golden. Slowly the living mass of humanity pulled itself together and formed in line; Field received the ball, bucked the center and gained five yards, then Spaulding received the ball, made a rush around the right end, but was downed by Shepard. and promptly; no gain. Again Field receives the ball, bucks the center
but makes no gain. Spalding tries again around the end, but fails, Shepard, Mendell and Champlain falling upon him like tigers on a single prey; it is at this stage of the game and here that Spalding fractures his collar bone,
Five yards not being gained by the Denvers, Kansas takes the ball; Champlain bucks the center three consecutive times, gaining 10 yards; then Matteson goes around the right end for 20 yards, Mendell tries left end but gains little; again Matteson makes a run for 25 yards, Piatt brakes the center and gains 3 yards, Champlain goes between tackle and guard for 2 more and Kinzie then takes the ball over the line. Piatt kicks goal. Time 15 minutes.
Denver again forms a V, rushes at K. S. U. and are downed before eight yards are made. Then follows a quick succession of rapid plays in which Field and DeWitt figure most prominently and in just 10 minutes the ball is forced over Denver's goal line and a goal is kicked. The game stands six and six.
Kinzie then leads off and makes 35 yards before being downed, Champlain goes between tackle and guard for five yards but loses the ball in a second attempt. Denver kicks the ball, which is returned by Piatt, Kinzie gets it; Champlain lines out four more yards and Mendell takes the ball around left end and over the goal line, Piatt fails to kick a goal. Score, 10 to 6.
Deuver forms another V, gains 7 yards but fails to gain five more in three downs and Kansas takes the ball. Hammill and Mattson make a hole as usual in the Denver ranks and Champlain secures 15 yards. Matteson takes the ball and loses 5 yards, Champlain gains it back; a fou is claimed and Denver begins taking the ball up the field; DeWitt punts, Piatt gets the ball and the hearts of the Denver admirers grow heavy as they see it steadily advance to the K. U. goal line. Mendell makes a great run, gains 22 yards, Champlain adds eight yards to his credit, Mattson 3 and Piatt punts and loses the ball when time is called for the first half.
The big crowd is getting anxious and impatient. The fifteen minutes of rest is up, Kansas takes the ball, forms a gridiron, gains 12 yards, Piatt adds five to that, Champlain five more, Mattson loses 3 yards, Champlain gains it back. Foul is claimed and Denver gets the ball, Field loses it immediately to K. U. and onward the leather speeds; Champlain gains 5 yards, Mendell nothing, Champlain 3 yards, Kinzie around right end for five more,
and again 5 more and still 4 more by the same route, Champlain bucks the center for 4 yards and Kinzie scores a touch down, Piatt kicks a goal. Time 20 minutes.
Denver sticks to the V, gains 9 yards, McCann gains 2 yards around right end; tries it again but loses. Field bucks the center for 25 yards, a deafening roar resounds and vibrates through the air; Denver stock is advancing in value. Burger goes around the left end for 7 yards and Spalding tries it around right end, but is promptly down by Shepard, the invinceable. DeWitt kicks the ball away over near goal line; a wild race follows in which Williamson gets the ball; the teams line up within two feet of Denver's goal line, Kinzie makes 8 yards, Champlain 5 yards, Kinzie 8 yards, a criss-cross follows with no gain and Denver gets the ball, on foul, which she losses by not gaining her five yards. Kansas again begins her forward march and after a series of plays, loses the ball. Denver tries to send the ball around left end and Dumn distinguishes himself by a fine tacker; Field tries it and is downed by a magnificent tacker on Williamson's part, 10 yards behind the rush line. Denver is getting disheartened. DeWitt punts for 30 yards, Piatt sends it back 20; Champlain guins five yards through that same hole that Hammill and Matteson makes; Kinzie makes 5 more, Piatt bucks the center for five yards and two Denverites are hurt in the scrimmage. Mendall makes 8 yards, Champlain 3 more and still three more and then 3; Mattson runs ten yards and scores a touch down, Piatt fails to kick goal. Time was called before another touch down could be made, the score standing Kansas 20, D. A.C. 6.
The game was very exciting all through. The Denver boys might have been more genteel but the game is ours and we shall say nothing.
