Our Boys Still Win--They Defeated Baker Saturday — Tune 18 to 4-A Hard Fought Contest. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER, 4.1891. Thanksgiving is Celebrated—K. U. Wins From the K. C., Y. M. C. A. Team-Score 22 to 4. The crimson star of destiny in the foot ball world, is still in the secondary. Two more victories were added to our list last week. One being an exhibition game with the Y. M. C. A. team of Kansas City and the other; a regularly scheduled league game wiff Baker. These make five straight victories for our boys. All have been won by good scores. Team work due to the careful coaching and steady training of the boys by Manager E. M. Hopkins tells the story of our success. We have two more games to play this year and we hope to win them both although they are with strong elevens. K. U. plays the Iowa State University team in Kansas City tomorrow and next Monday will meet Baker again. The Baker game will probably decide the triangular league fight, and the Kansas-Iowa game will almost show the strongest team of the four states, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. THE BAKER GAME. Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock a trail of three coaches "filled to overflowing" pulled out of the Santa Fe depot for Baldwin. The long disputed question of supremacy on the "field do kick" was to be decided between Baker and K. U. Over three hundred students accompained the team. Both eleven were confident of victory and everybody realized that the struggle was to be a hard one. Our "rooters" were all there and were prepared to pull hard. Baker's team is a good one but they are weak in team work which is the University's strong point. Play was called promptly at 2:30, a short time after K. U. arrived. K. U. takes the ball and has some advantage in the slope of the field to the north but the wind is against them. The game starts with a wedge with a gain of five yards. Williamson then gains two yards. A criss-cross follows from Sherman to Champlin with the result that Champlin gets within a yard of Baker's goal line. K. U., lines up and by a mighty push the ball goes over the line. Hogg quickly kicks a goal and in three minutes from the start the score is K. U. 6, Baker 0. Baker starts with a wedge which is followed by a run around the right end by Goodole. A total gain of seventeen yards. The ball is fumbled. Light loses ground and the sphere goes to K, U. The boys from Lawrence buck the center with a slight gain. Sherman and Champlin make unsuccessful attempts to get through when the crisis-cross is again worked and Champlin covers twelve yards. Here the two teams struggle and after four downs the ball goes to Baker, by a wedge and a run by Brown the yellow caps advance fifteen yards. But after four other attempts the ball goes to K. U. K. U gains ten yards by runs by Sherman and Hogg. From here the ball is successfully advanced almost to Baker's goal line by Champlin, Sherman and Jewett. Here the ball is fumbled, but the error is sayed by Williamson. Champlain and Sherman then made slight gains and by a mighty effort Champlin is shoved through the center and a second touch down is scored. Hoog kicks almost a phenomenal goal Baker then for the first time puts the ball inside of K. U.'s twenty-five yard line by means of a wedge, a turtle back play, and a run by Goodale. Light attempts a run, but is thrown so hard by Sherman and Frederick that he loses the ball, and quick as a flash Hogg drops on it, about five yards from the University goal line. from the side of the field against a strong wind. Score—K, K. U, 12, Baker 0. Bedlam is let loose by the wearers of the crimson. Sherman fails to make a gain, but Chaplain makes a brilliant run, downs Gooddale and another yellow cap and makes a gain of about twewt vards before he is stopped. Three struggles and Sherman goes to the center of the field. Baker gets the ball on four downs. Lightgoes around the right end and passes every body but Hogg, who brings his man. Three hard fought serigames follow but Baker is held and dime is called with Baker within six yards of K. S. U.'s goal line. The second half is desperately contested. For a short time the ball is kept pretty near the center of the field, but by several well directed punts and runs by Champlin and Sherman, the latter covering fifteen yards, the ball is taken to within seven yards of the Baker goal line. Here Baker gets the ball in four powns. Goodale attempts to go through the center but is carried back by Williamson. Goodale attempts to punt the ball but it starts low, hits Jewett and bounds back on Baker's goal line. Goodale slips and Dobson dives down on the ball and scores the third touch down for K. U. Hogg kicks goal for the third time. Score 18 to 0 in K. U.'s favor. Baker becomes desperate and advances ten yards by three plays. Goodale punts to K. U.'s twenty-five yard line. Goodale then runs around the end and the ball is almost to the University goal line. Here excitement is intense. Only five minutes time remains for Baker to save a shut out. A struggle occurs here without a gain for either the crimson or yellow until Goodale goes almost on to the K. U. Goal line. By a desperate push Baker makes a touch down. Baker fails to kick goal. Score K. U, 18. Baker 4. K. U starts the ball but loses it to Baker and time is called with the pigskin on K. U.'s twenty five yard line. The K. U, yell and the crimson flags fill the field. Great enthusiasm. Baker sick at heart. Following are the players of the two teams and their positions. Baker positions K, U Mnesse Right end. Platt Logie Middle tackle. Platt Lagie Left thwart. Hundt son Taylor W left tack. Jawest Taylor U Left end. Jobson Pontier Cannon back. Jobson Aowey Quarter back. Williamson Goodle Balf backs.) Sherman Eight Inappropriate. Brown Full back.) Hogg NOTES. Sherman played at a disadvantage by reason of a swelling on his foot. Champilia did noble work for K. U. Saturday Baker, Baker, where art thou? Hogg was a sure man on kicking goal Capt. Kinzie was unable to play and the team was captured by Sherman. Goodale was carefully looked after. About 2,000 people witnessed the game and the best of feeling prevailed. THE Y. M. C. A. GAME. A game was played between the Y. M. C. A. team of Kansas City and K. U. Thanksgiving afternoon and resulted in an easy victory for the University boys. The score was K. U. 22. Y. M. C. C. 4. Umpire Storrs and Referee Bloss gave general satisfaction. The story of victory on the one hand and defeat on the other is simply a story of practiced skill and condition pitted against inexperience, lack of team work and undeveloped strength which the possessors had not been trained to use to any sort of advantage. We will not give the game in detail owing to lack of space. The University did not present her regular team. It was thought best to save Coleman and Williamson, the regular center and quarter, Huddleston took Coleman's place and was succeeded by Foster and Trutt took Williamson's place. In the first half the score was 6 to 4 in K. U.'s favor and the play was close and interesting but in the second half the Y. M. C.A. was winded and sixteen points were added to the crimson's score while the Y. M. S. A. team failed to score. Capt. Kinzie played his first game and did well. Dobson, Champlin, Piaffard Sherman distinguished themselves. The two new men did well considering the fact that it was their first regular game and all the signals were new to them. Tomorrow the Iowa State University meets the University of Kansas at Exposition park, Kansas City, Monday. December 14, Baker plays K.U. in Lawrence. COMIFG GAMES. A large crowd of K U. enthusiasts witnessed the game and filled the air with Rock Chalk! K U. went down on a special and enjoyed both their Thanksgiving dinner and the game. About twenty-five hundred people witnessed the game. PERSONALS. Frand Playter was in Pittsburg a few days. C. H. Johnson went home to eat turkey. Miss Rushmer visited on the hill during the week. Paul Merrill came up to Baldwin to see the game. Paul Hudson reported both the games for the Topeka Capital. Prof. Dunlap lectured on Shelly in Kansas City Tuesday evening. Jack Weyer, alias John, spent his vacation in Leavenworth. S. M. Simmons made a flying trip home during the week. Maureen L. Alden and Cliff Kroh spent their vacation in Kansas City. Miss Bessie Hand has recovered from her recent illness and is again in her classes. Messrs Alden, Bonebrake, Halloweil and Sherman attended a reception given by the Pansy club of Topeka Thanks-giving eve. Allhouse spent his vacation as as a "Knight of the Grip," in the interest of a tea company. Prof. Blackmar delivered his regular lecture in Kansas City Thursday An immense flume is being constructed near Fresno, Cal., which will not only furnish water for irrigating purposes, but will be used to transport number needed by farmers living near by. Dr. C. E. Edwards of the Kansas City Journal was in the city Saturday writing up Prof. Dyche's department. Dr. John Piente, the amateur telescope maker, is now finishing a $30\mathrm{寸}$ silver on glass mirror for Allegrayn college, which, when mounted, will give that institution the largest reflecting telescope in this country. It is pretty hard to be told at the beginning of a long, cold winter that gold table services are coming in. It was hoped that they had gone out to stay. SIFTED SHIMMER. Shoots, Seions, Splits Sprouts Sorted and Selected. Attend the Seminary this afternoon All is quiet in the camp of the C. C's. Look out for our Christmas edition. It will be a delightful number. The base ball boys are hustling up photos for a cut in the Christmas COURTIE. A class in boxing should be organized at once in the University. Object, protection for our students. The chicken Marauders are now turning their attention to the fellow who wrote the "tale of famine." Two students returning from Baker Saturday had a break down about six miles from town and walked in. The Kansas City Journal devotes several columns to Prof. Dyche and his departnent in the last two Sunday issues. The Topeka State Journal asks when the championship will be decided between Yale and K, U, on the foot ball field. Rohde is now working on the base nen championship pennant and will finish it so soon as to be ready to begin work on the foot boll pennant. A story is quietly going the rounds that the chancellor missed his Thanksgiving dinner in order to be on time at the football game. The Seminary this week will be devoted to "European Municipal Government." MemSers of the class in local government will fill the program. It is rumored that Blair S. Hutchings will move his Clay Center paper to the new town of Velasco, Tex. If the report is true we wish him success although loath to lose him from this state. A fatal mistake was made in our notice of Mr. Woolman's address before the law school. Eighty instead of eight listened to his entertaining and instructive address. The new catalogue will not be issued until January first. This delay is made necessary by the report of Unasellor Snow on his investigations concerning the chinch bug which will fill a book of about 100 pages. The Christmas supplement to the COURRIER will cost over $100 and will be a work of art. Price 15 cents per copy. Hand in your names early for the present indications denote a greater demand than we are able to supply. Invitations have been received from the Kansas City Alumni association of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity to their first annual banquet to be given at the New Cortes House this evening. Several members of the local chapter will attend. A most enjoyable time is expected. A COURrier representative happened in Mr. Rossington's office in Topeka during the week. Mr. Rossington asked about the University and was well pleased to hear of our prosperity. Mr. Rossington is one of the University's most firm friends. No.13. The number of contestants in the oratorical contest will be large. The only way to find out exactly who they are, 18 to slip around in the different alcove of the library and notice the books that are being read. The manuals of voice training and of rhetoric are in great demand. Cancellor James H. Canfield of the University of Nebraska will deliver a lecture before the Seminary of Historical Science next Friday. It will be a treat to all the students of the University but will especially be appreciated by his former students who have a warm place in their hearts for Prof. Canfield. The Kansas City Luminary misquotes us and calls our foot ball heroes "demi-gogs." They were "damigods" but are so no longer. They are rivals of Jove himself. A thunder bolt from his mighty hand would fail to buck the center of our strong rush line with anything like success. HEAT. Life is the box office of eternity. They are going to dam the river at Topaka; we fell out of a boat once. A cooper is a staving fellow, isn't he? When we drink a "stone fence" we find a brick in our hat. A man may get the socks knocked off him, even if he is striped for a fray. A man spills for fight, and generally spills after one, unless he is embalmed. A Chihuaman's hand irons the cuffs; when he is pulled the hand cuffs iron. him. When a man says he is self made we never deny it; it is easily seen that some idiot did the job. Beware of outward appearances. A man may have his shoes blacked and yet have a hole in his socks. If women were as nice as they look when dressed for a party, the cynic would lose his job. Death is that stage in the game of life where man is caught by bluffing and Gabriel takes the pot. When it is rumored that a man is in love, all the women say "Who with?" The men grunt and murmur "Poor cuss." So goes the world. CHEMISTRY NOTES. There are over eighty students in the qualitative analysis class and as there are desks for only forty-eight, somebody is getting crowded. Mr. A. Eicholt is taking special work on sugar in the chemical laboratory and will go to Cuba as an assistant to Paul Wilkinson on a sugar plantation about the first of December. Mr. E. C. Franklin has constructed an apparatus for the liquefaction of sulphurate by pressure. By an ingenious arrangement of glass tubes, forced together and carried to the second story of the chemical building and filled with mercury an increase pressure can be produced, and this pressure can be regulated at will. Prof. Bailey has received from the Washington and Lee View University, Va., a photograph of a meteorite, hitherto indescribed, in the possession of that institution, that resembles very closely the Tonganoxie meteorite recently described in the American Journal of Science. It would certainly be a great find if it should prove to be a long lost brother of our specimen. As an example of the way in which the west is leading the east, it may be noted that the scientific men of Ohio are to organize an Academy of Science. This movement originates no doubt from Prof. N.A. Kellerman, formerly of the Kansas Agricultural college, who has been recently elected to the chair of biology in the Ohio State University Kansas vs Iowa. Our football team starts for Kansas City next Friday night where they will play K. S. U. the next day. K. S. U. is reported to have a strong team. —Vidette Reporter. 4
