K.S.U. 14----I.S.U: 12
That was the Score when K. S. U Left the Field.
A Beautiful Contest which End
cd in a Wrangle.
The long looked for game between the foot ball teams representing the University of Kansas and the University of Iowa was played in Kansas City last Saturday afternoon.
A large crowd of Iowa students be decked in old gold was on one side of the field and on the other side could be seen the contents of three cars who were covered with crimson, their yells even being crimson.
It was the hardest fought contest that K, U. has participated in this year. At times it almost approached viciousness. Blood flowed quite freely and two of the Iowa men were carried from the field.
Until the wrangle came the game was a pretty one. The two teams struggled desperately. At first the K. U. boys were unable to cope with the rushes of the I.S. U. boys, but in the second half the conditions were reversed and the Iowa team was unable to stop the wedge of K. U. Each team scored a touch down from the center of the field by a series of rushes.]
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER, 11 1891.
The lowians had a new kind of a wedge. They would lock their arms about each other, duck their heads and start whirling round and round. At the start our boys could not stop this wheel play but later in the game the wheel frequently lacked oil. K. U. used her V wedge in grand style.
This playing of both teams was brilliant. Champlin and Kinzie of the Kansas and German and Elliot of the Iowa's being especially meritorious for their fine playing. Our boys have improved greatly in their blocking,
The game ended in this way. Holbrook of Iowa and Bloss of Topeka have been selected as referee and umpire respectively and from the first it was apparent that K. U. was getting the worst of Holbrook's decisions. About fifteen minutes before the end of the second half the score 14 to 12 in favor of K. S. U., Hogg failed to kick goal and Larrabee took the ball and instead of starting off with a wedge or a free kick he put ball in play by a place kick, at least so said the referee, and then ran down the field to within fifteen yards of the Kansas goal. Here the wrangle commenced, Referee Holbrooke said the ball was in play and Umpire Bloss said it wasn't. The referee's decision went and Capt. Kinzeus called his men on the field. Then came one of the most absurd decisions imaginable. The referee called play after the Kansans had withdrawn from the field and let the I. S. U.'s score six more points with no team opposing them. He then gave the game to Iowa by a score of 18 to 14. Mr. Holbrook can show no rule upon which he based his decision. The real score was K. U. 14, I. U. 12. Besides the doubt of the manner in which Larrabee put the ball in play, one of the Iowa boys was off side when the ball was put in play. This game will result, however, in the selection of disinterested parties to referee and umpire the game hereafter. Sherman did not play his leg being a little weak yet. He will be all right for the Baker game tomorrow.
The game began at 2:30 o'clock. Captain Pierce won the toss and took the ball. Captain Kinzie took the north end
of the field. The teams lined up as follows:
Iowa             positions      K, U
Balley           Left end        Dobson
Bill Larson       Left tackle     Jewett
Wooslion        Left guard     Fredericke

Fickes          Left guard    Huddlon st
Sarand          Right tackle    Montahl

THE PLAY IN DETAIL.
The Iowans started off with a vim. Putting their arms about each other and ducking down their heads they gave K, U. its first taste of a wheel rush. German came out of the crowd and before he was downed had gone twenty yards. The ball was then given to Ferren, but he ran back and across the field. Williamson made a pretty tackle and downed him for a loss of ten yards. The ball was dropped in the next rush and in the scramble Iowa lost five yards of the gain. Gn the next rush Iowa gained four yards, in the scrimmage that followed there was no gain and Kansas lost the oball, Kollenberg was hurt in this rush. His left knee was sprained and he was carded off the field.
Kansas started off with the "V" shaped wedge, and was downed with a gain of two yards. In the second rush the two teams came together like two engines with all steam on and the ball went down. No gain. On the third down the requisite gain was made with the wedge, Kinzie bucked the line for two yards and then went around the right end and advanced five yards more. Hogg tried the left end, but made no gain. The wedge was then attempted and the Iowans were sent back three yards further. In the next rush Sanford broke through the line and got the ball from Champia.
Iowa tried its wedge again, but made no gain. In its next rushes gains of five yards were made. The Iowans were fixed for another ball with their wheel German was given the ball. The wheel was rolling along very nicely when all of a sudden Kinken was seen to come out of the crown with the ball. He had a clear field between him and the Iowa goal and made a touch down from which flogg kicked goal.
The captain of the Kansas had got the ball in the scrimmage. German had let it get away from him. It was the first time the Kansas cohorts had had a chance to yell and they made things hum for a few minutes.
Piece was given the ball and started around the left end. He found Dobson there, however, and was thrown about ten feet toward his goal. Dobson is a bad man to collide with. The wheel was then tried again and when it stopped rolling Elliot fell with the ball. He had made a gain of fifteen yards. German was sent around the right end, but ran back and, when downed by Williamson, he had lost ground. The referee called third down and Iowa triad the wheel again in orler to make the requisite gain, but failed and the ball went to Kansas.
When the teams lined up there was a rush, a scrimmage, a wild tangle of arms, legs and feet. The young men were un tied and Stiles, the center rush of Iowa, had the ball.
Kansas had the wheel to fight against again and was again run over by it. Iowa's first gain was for ten yards. From then on there was a series of as brilliant rushes as were ever seen on foot ball field. The Iowaans would make a gain of two or three yards and then on the third down would lock their arms about each other and try their invincible wheel for the requisite gain. When the ball with repeated rushes was carried to the ten yard line Elliott was given it to buck the line. He went at it like a fiend and carried two of the Kansans through the goal posts with him, scoring a tough down. Larrabee kicked goal, tiring the score. It was 6 6.
K. U. started from the center with the
wedge and made a gain of six yards. In the next rush there was no gain. Kinkle then bucked the line for a gain of two yards. Hogg was next called upon for a kick but didn't do much in the wind and Larabee dropped on the ball.
For Iowa Larrabee first tried the left end and made three yards. The wedge was then tried for a slight gain. The second wedge lost a yard and a half and on the third down the ball went to Kansas.
In the line up Siles and Elliott wer too much for the Kansas center. They broke through without much trouble. Kinzie fumbled the ball the first time and lost ground. In the second rush Siles broke through and carried Kinzie back again for four yards. A moment CONTINUED ON THIRD PAGE
The Seminary.
The Seminary of Historical and Political Science held its regular meeting Friday afternoon at 3 p. m. In the absence of Prof. Blackmar, Prof. Hodder presided. The subject considered was Municipal Government. Prof. Hodder opened the seminary by stating that the study of municipal government in the United States was of recent date and that we are beginning to see where our defects lay and some of the remedies for them. We study European municipal government to get ideas for our own but the government in foreign cities is not the best adopted to the United States
W. B, Kinzie read the first paper on "Local government in England and the municipal government of Glasgow." Glasgow is an old city but has been regenerated during the last twenty years on account of the wise and benficient city government.
Athletic Board Meeting
Mr. E. W. Smith followed with a paper on The Municipal Government cut of London. The municipal government of London is a curious compound. In London proper consisting of a small fraction of that great city, the government established by the guilds still runs while the rest of the city has no corporate existence
H. B. Hall next read an article on Municipal Government in Paris, followed by H E. Copper on the Berlin and Vienna. All these papers were well written and pointed out the various degrees of excellence in municipal government in these typical cities.
The Board met in regular session Monday afternoon, most of the members being present. After considerable routine business had been disposed of the question of another game of foot ball in Kansas City was discussed and the manage of the team was instructed to send a challenge to the Iowa team for a game Dec 21, at the time of Sir Edwin Arnold's lecture in Kansas City. A communication was received from the M. S U athletic association asking that a delegate be appointed to represent K S. U. in a meeting to be held in Kansas City Dec. 28, for the purpose of arranging for an Athletic League comprising the state universities of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. Prof E. M. Hopkius was elected the Kansas delegate. A committee with J. M. Challis as chairman was appointed to arrange for the production of a revised version of Julius Caesar sometime after Christmas. The board will not meet again in regular session before the holidays as every one will attend the funeral obsequies of the Baker foot ball team next Monday.
K. U, vs. Baker.
Next Monday the last game between these teams will be played in this city. Game will be called promptly at 2:30 Baker will no doubt make a desperate attempt to win as it is her last chance.

Here is some solid food for thought,
I heard it at a recent bill—
I want to buy
Than never to be kissed at all.

The average weight of the S. U. I. team is 169 pounds. An average of about seven pound to the man more than our team.
Prof. Blake, of Kansas State University, has a new theory as the recent experiments in rain making. It is that the condensation is caused by the present ce small particles of dust. He supports his novel position by alleging that hailstones, which are frozen raindrops, often have mechal consisting a of tiny speck of dust or cinder.
Whether there be anything in this theory or not we have not the data at hand to determine. But the fact that the professor of a western university has advanced a theory whi ch, if true will revolutionize the agricultural system of large portion of the world can but be o interest and pride to all students in western colleges.—Vodelte Reporter.
Seminary Notes
The December number of the above appeared the first of this week. It includes an article on Early Municipal Government in Chicago by Prof. F. H. Hodder and the paper read before the Seminary of Sociology from the Preachers Standpoint by Chas. M. Shouldon. Both are very interesting and instructive articles. A short article on Historical Study at Johns Hopkins University is given. Editorially this issue surpasses all previous numbers. We bespeak a liberal support to Seminary Notes on the part of all interested in the prosperity of our University. Address all communicat ons to Prof. Blackmar,
Baker vs. Washburn.
Baker played in Topeka Monday and literally wiped the earth with Washburn. The score was 46 to 0. Washburn was handicapped however by the snow as it interfered with their running, which is their strong point. Brown and Sterling umpred and refereed the game satisfactorily to both parties.
Happy and content is a home with "The Rochester," a lamp with the light of the morning. For catalogue write Rochester Lamp Co., New York.
