LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 6,1891.
Nobly They Played and Heroes Are They—Our Brave Boys Won- The Trip -The Game-The Score 22 to 8.
Well! Well!! Well!!! Were are in it! K. U. 22. M. U. 8. Rock, Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U.!! Our boys are in the heart of the city. We are the people. See! Saturday was a gala day for the University of Kansas. The game between the Missouri and Kansas Universities was played and resulted in a glorious victory for the sunflower boys. The game was played in the Exposition base ball park in Kansas City and was witnessed by fully 3,000 people. K. U. was represented by about 350 enthusiastic supporters who went down on a special train Saturday morning. Missouri University was represented by 100 students who did nicely with their yell. Rah! Rah! M. S. U!. Missouri University, Rah, Ray, Rue! considering the odds against them. The representatives of the universities with their colors, K. U. Crimson and M. U. Orange and black, marched to the park and at every corner would wake up the sleepy Missourians with their "encouragers."
THE BATTLE BEGINS.
Captain Hill of the Missourians won the toss and selected the south goal and his team started off with strong play. The Kansans, notwithstanding the fact that Captain Kinzie was disabled and unable to play, and his position was filled by Sherman, who was also a cripple, were strong favorites before the game, but the Missourians started off so well that their supporters began to have some hopes of their winning.
As soon as the ball was put into play it was passed to Bradley, and he carried the ball into the Kansan's territory at the first attempt, and they held their ground on the next down. Shawhan, the other half back, was then given a chance and lost ground, but on the next play succeeded in getting around the left end, and by a beautiful run evaded the Kansans and scored a touch down. Shawhan's run and Briegleb's blocking were the features of the play. The Kansans were surprised, while the Missourians cheered lustily. This gave the orange and black a free kick for goal, but Anderson made a sorry attempt, kicking not even to it.
Hogg then kicked down the field, and though Shawhan fumbled, Bradley gathered the ball and made some ground. Shawhan made another effort to get around the end, but the Kansans had tumbled to the play and Dobson downed him. This was followed by hard work by Williamson, Champlin, Sherman and Hogg of the Jayhawkers and Hill, Shawhan and Lamotte of the Columbias. Champlu's work outshone the rest, however, and by dint of steady, persevering work he was finally carried through the Missouri line for a touch down, tieing the score. Hogg's failure to kick a goal left the game a tie.
The Kansans had now recovered confidence and forced the work. Champlin was again set to work and repeatedly broke through the line. Sherman was given several opportunities. Though his weak ankle left him at the mercy of the Missouri tacklers, he finally succeeded
in getting through for a touch down,giving the Kansans the lead by a score of 8 to 4.
HOGG KICKS A GOAL.
This was followed by pointing in which the Kansans excelled. Hogg kicking the ball over the line and after a brush for it in the corner, Coleman secured the ball for a touch down and Hogg kicked a goal, the only one of the game, leaving the score 14 to 4.
After another brief play time was called and probably prevented the Kansas from another touch down on a sharp play by Sherman, Williamson and Mendall. The score was 14 to 4 in favor of Kansas and the west side bleachers was one mass of waving streamers of bloody hue, while the Kansas University cry filled the air.
After ten minutes' rest play was resumed. Champlin, who had a beautiful mouse over his left eye, is again set at work and lively times ensue. Scrimage follows scrimmage, until Terrill comes out from under a pyramid with a sprained ankle and Hodge takes his place at the left end for Missouri.
The Kausans again continued their rushes, Champilin and Sherman alternating in efforts to crowd through the Missourians. Champilin almost got clear when LaMotte downed him. Hogg then took the play and by a clever run round the left end scored another touch down, making the score 18 to 4 in favor of Kausaa.
Hogg again distinguished himself a few minutes later, making a neat running catch off Anderson's punt. He feinted and while the Missourians settled for a catch off the expected kick he sailed down the side line and scored another goal, increasing Kansas' lead four more points.
At this stage the Missourians grew desperate and did what they should have played earlier in the game, go through by mere force of weight. Sherman muffed the ball and La Motte secured it Gradually the Kansans were forced toward their goal by successive rushes. It was a desperate struggle and being immediately in front of the stand showed up well and was enjoyed by the audience. Scrimmage followed scrimmage, but the weight of the Missourians told, and finally Bradley, with the ball tightly hugged to his breast, rolled out from under the struggling heap of humanity clear out of the bunch and scored Miss ourl's second touch down. Anderson again failed to kick goal and shortly afterward the whistle sounded and the game was over with the score of 22 to 8
A might vell went up from the Kansas delegation and they broke into the field and carried off the victorious team while the Missouri eleven quietly disappeared
THE YELL OF VICTORY.
Hogg at full back did the star playing of the team in last Saturday's game. He missed only one catch of the many hard punts that he received and then he quickly recovered the ball. His punging was superb and far outclassed that of M. S. U.'s full back. His head work was ex cellent. The one feint at a punt secure1 K. S. U. a touch down.
Champlin worked like a tiger and bucked through the M. S. U. solid front like a Texas broncho. He often failed to tackle his men but made up for all defects in that line by being as hard to stop when under headway for M. S. U.'s goal as a wild engine on a down grade. Champ's playing was of the star order. He did more work and took more chances than any other man on the team.
Dobson was an awful hard man to hold on the end. He always got through his man, and was a little troublesome to M. S. U.'s half backs on a punt over. Dobson is one of the best players in the rush
line. Williamson, that little darling, never made a muff, and was right there on time. He is the only quarter back in in school; no other need apply. Huddleton and Fredericks are the best guards that could be selected. One thing to be lamented is that Fredericks will not be in school next year. Mendell is a good and sure tackler, and makes a fine show for a first year man on a team. Piatt is another good man that is quite useful in a "slugging game," He has the happy faculty of using his hands well in a game and will prove quite an addition when the boys meet the "man smashing" half back, Goodale. Sherman did not play his regular game on account on a weak ankle. If Sherman had been in good form none of the M. S. U's, could have touched him. Sherman missed some totes at Kansas City which was a result probably of his compulsory lack of practice. The game that our boys put up still needs some improvement before we play Baker, for Baker knows a little more about foot ball than M. S. U. It might be a good plan for those of the club who can, to go down and see the game at Baker tomorrow. They would surely secure some valuable points as to Baker's method of play.
NOTES.
A return game is talked of for the nea future.
All the boys did nobly.
The old K. U.," boys in Kansas City were out in full force.
Did you see Dobson pick up that poor, poor boy, and—oh—my<sup>4</sup>.
What's the matter with Chanplin? Perhaps the M. U. boys know by this time.
Prof. Hopkins deserves great credit for the hard work he has done in training the team.
The crowd on the return trip was truly a hilarious one. "Way down in Georgia; Happy land."
The Kansas City Star says the Missouri University boys had the "hot end" of the game.
Sherman did splendid work, considering his weak ankle. He will be all right for the Baker game.
Our team is composed of better kickers, better tacklers, better runners, in fact better men in every way than the Missouri eleven.
Hogg's coolness is a caution. In the language of the old colored man who witnessed the game, he is "the bestest back full dis side from Texas."
The Seminary Motes for November contain some very valuable articles. Prof. Adams has a very thorough paper upon Article I., section 7, in the constitutional convention, in which he shows the rise of the idea that the people should control the extent and purpose of taxation.
