FIRST HALF.
The postponed game of Saturday was played in Topeka Tuesday afternoon on Washburn's groundls. Only a few of our roots accompanying the team but they made themselves heard. Our boys were in excellent condition and had no difficulty whatever in winning the game. The game was not called until almost 4 o'clock owing to the late arrival of the K, U. team.
Play began with the ball in Washburn's possession. By a series of careful plays and a beautiful run by Mohler the ball was advanced almost to the University goal line but was nicely stopped by Hogg. Washburn then lost ground on an unsuccessful criss cross. Then Washburn fumbled the ball and like a flash Dobson it had tucked under his arm and was flying down the field, making the first touch down for the University before Washburn recovered from her surprise. Hogg kicked goal. Score K. U. 6, Washburn 0. Washburn then advanced the ball about twenty five yards by two fushes, but again made a fumble and this time Fredrick secured it and after an exciting run scored another touch down. Hogg again kicked a goal. Washburn still has the ball but fails to make any ground and it is given to K. U. Play begins in the blues territory. Sherman gains twenty yards by a run around the end. Then a wedge is made and gives K. U. ten more yards. Champlin is then pushed over Washburn's goal line and the third touch down is scored for the University. Hogg's kick out is caught by Piatt and Hogg again kicks a goal making the score *8 to 0 in favor of the University*.
Then followed a series of plays and a foul which gives the ball to K. U. Champain makes a run but loses the ball and Mohler regains the lost ground. Washburn then again loses the ball on a foul tackle. But in a moment Washburn secures the ball on a foul by the University. Then the struggle comes. The ball is taken almost to K. U.'s goal line by Mohler. The rush lines go down without an inch gained or lost but Siors crawls over the crowd and makes the first touch down for Washburn. MeVicar kicks a goal. Score, K. S. U. 18, Washburn 6.
The University then starts the ball for the first time. The crimson gains twenty-five yards but Washburn gets the ball after four successive downs. Mohler makes another run and is downed by Mendall. Several unsuccessful attempts are made to to invade K. U.'s territory until finally Mohler again gets the ball and makes a run being stopped with five yards of the University goal line. Four downa follow without a gain and the ball goes to K. U. The line up is made on K. U.'s fifteen yard line. Hogg then makes the only punt of the game and the first half is ever, Score, 18 to 6 in K. U.'s favor. The wearers of the crimson then celebrate for fifteen minutes.
Only thirty minutes were played in the second half by mutual agreement owing to the lateness of the hour.
SECOND HALF.
K. U. takes the ball and gains fifte- yards but looses the ball to Washburn. Washburn again fumbles a cross-cross and the University securing the ball pushes the ball in three trials clear through and makes another touch down. Hogg fails to kick goal. Score 22 to 6 in K. U.'s favor. Washburn takes the ball and makes four downs and looses it. Sherman gets the sphere and by clever dodging puts about twenty-five yards to the credit of the University. K. U. then "wedge" it through the blues line and the fifth touch down is scored. Hogg kicks to Williamson and then kicks goal. K. U. 28, Washburn 6. Washburn takes the ball. By some very good playing and another run by Mohler the little round thing is taken almost to the University goal line. Washburn then pushes over the line and scores her second touch down. McVicar fails to kick a goal. K. U. 28, Washburn 10. The crimson boys take the ball. Champlin secures it and makes a beautiful run clear into the blues territory. Then Sherman again distinguishes himself by making one of the best runs of the game, scoring a touch down.
Time is then called, dual score K. U.

NOTES.
What's the matter with Sherm and Champ?
Four goals out of five chances is pretty good, Hogg.
Washburn plays here tomorrow. We must win again sore.
Little Williamson was right on deck and is sure and certain.
Our boys should give a little more stamant to their blocking.
Dobson's playing was highly complimented by the Topeka papers. Dobie is a valuable man.
Mohler is a very valuable man.
We are thankful that the entire Washburn team is not like him.
All the boys were exceedingly fortunate, not a single accident occurring to mar the enjoyment of the game.
The day was an ideal one for foot ball. The air was crisp and just cool enough to fill the boys with vim and vigor.

Prof. Carruth's Lecture.
The professor gave a lecture last Tuesday before the Freshman class and others nt erected in the legend, upon William Tell. The lecture was illustrated by stereocaptian views and consisted largely of a description of Schwyz, Uri and Unte walden and explanations of the myth of William Tell. The lecture was intensely interesting. Yesterday the professor delivered another lecture upon the same subject but in a critical vein and showed how the myth of William Tell had been exploded. He said that it was difficult to convince a Swiss that William Tell was not real flesh and blood.

The Eudowment Association.
"The purpose for which said corporation is formed is the support of an educational undertaking, towrit: The University of Kansas, and to that end to receive and hold in trust any property, real and personal given, devised, bequeathed, given in trust, or in any other way made over to the said corporation for the use or benefit of the University of Kansas, or of any student or professor therein as such, or of any department thereof, or for the carrying on at said institution of any line of work, teaching or investigation, which the donor, gantor, or testator may designate; to invest or disburse all monies so received and generally to care for, manage, administer and control all such property so received and to carry out the wishes and to see that the funds and property so received are applied to the uses specified by the donors; or, in case the gift, devise or bequest is a general one, then to such uses as may be agreed on by the board of trustees.
The Board of Regents at a recent meeting decided to organize a University endowment association. The charter has been secured. The object of the association is shown by the following extract from the charter:
The first gift to come into the hands of the trustees is "McCook Field" the new University athletic grounds, the transfer of which was made by Gov. Robinson last week.
The number of directors is fifteen and those appointed for the first year are Chancellor Snow, Prof. Carruth, Judge Thacher, Gov. Robinson, W.C. Spangler of this city; Hon. T Dwight Thacker, Hon. Geo. T. Nicholson, Prof. J.W. Gleed, C S Gleed, Topeka; F. C Scott, Iola; Arthur Woodcoock, Chicago; A.R. Marsh, Cambridge; C.L. Dobson, Kansas City; John J. McCook, New York, Hon. Geo. R Peck, Topeka.
This is a very important event in the progress of the University and will be of great assistance to the institution. It is to be hoped that they will be kept busy acknowledging gifts.
