FOOT BALL IN K. C.
Next Week—A Struggle for Life or Death-The Championship of Two States the Prize-Everybody in Two States Will be There to See It.
The first foot ball game of the season will be in Kansas City at Exposition park, the 31st of this month. Missoula against Kansas, M. S. U. against K. S. U.
"The team winning the match will claim the championship of the two states. All the arrangements for the match are perfected and Mr. George H. Devol was chosen umpire and Mr. Herbert Doggett referee. Both of these gentlemen are foot ball players and are well versed in the points of the game.
The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock. Rugby rules will govern.
o'clock. Rugby rules will govern. The match will unquestionably be the most interesting that has ever been held in Kansas City. An attempt was made last season to get the two teams together, but without success. There is much rivalry between the two colleges and a first class match is confidently expected. Large crowds from Lawrence and Columbia are expected, and it is very certain that the biggest crowd that ever witnessed a foot ball match in this section of the country will be present" says the Kansas City Times.
The crowd from here will be a large one and moreover it is going down chuck full of enthusiasm. We hope ere very long that the triangular will be the N.K. and M. league. It is time that K.S.U. is expanding and associating with her equals. Washburn and Baker are good schools but they are not state universities. A triangular college league with Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri in it, is what we should have. If we win the game from Columbia there is hardly any doubt but that Baker will be more pastime for our then invincible eleven.
Prof. Hopkins was in Kansas City last Monday in the interests of foot ball and reports the newspaper per men there quite enthusiastic on the subject of foot ball, and anxious for news from K. S. U's team. The Missouri team is thought to be a strong one. Our club may be proud if they win the game.
The professor has ordered the suits from Schmelzer of Kansas City and they will be here next week. The caps, belts and stockings will be crimson and we can tell how that color will do for suits after the game. At the recommendation of the professor the athletic association ordered foot ball shoes to be purchased for the club.
The game will be well advertised in Kansas City and a large crowd will be present to see the champions struggle for supremacy. Hand bills with K.S.U.in the lead will be struck and scattered broad cast throughout Kansas City. Here in
Lawrence everybody knows about the game already and is going. An excursion train will be run by the athletic association excursion committee.
Our boys are practicing from three to four times a week. The faculty have allowed Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and the practice games will be under the captaincies of Kinzie for the first eleven and Riddle for the second. The game in Kansas City must be won for a defeat would reflect upon our famous K. S. U. The first eleven consists of the following men who will win the game or die in the attempt:
Hogg, Kinzie, Sherman, Williamson. Cooke, Champlin, Huddleston, Coleman, Frederick, Jewett and Mustard. This is not a flat from the powers in foot ball but is the probable eleven. The eleven will not be chosen until a day or so before the game.
On motion of J. M. Challis the athletic board adopted crimson as the athletic color for the base ball and foot ball teams. Let Kausas City be painted red.
The Goats.,
They have been active of late. Phi Gamma Delta reports a group of initiates consisting of Barr Lakin, of Topeka, Dobson of Ottawa, Jansen of Atchinson' Smith of Ossaatomie, and Taylor of Seneca. Taylor is a cousin to "Billy" Taylor. The Phi Delta Theta animal has gotten in its work on James of Topeka. Beta Theta Pi's Wooglin, rejoiceth as he contemplates the list that will succumb to his tender mercies. The little list: Van Brunt of Kansas City, Hutchinson of Marys vills, Bowker, of McPherson, a cousin to Newell Bowker, Vaniman from the same place, and Howell of Lawrence. It is rumored hat one of the old barbs has also fallen in love with Wooglin.
The men who await in fear and trembling the capricious manouvers of Phi Kappa Psi's well fed tin-can eater are: Woodward of Lawrence, Kelsey of Atchison, Dunn of Kansas City, and Alden from the same city. Sigma Nu has as yet gotten no active move upon herself. Sigma Chi, if Madame Rumour has any veracity, has a full quota of victims and will surprise the inhabitants soon by emerging from the gloom of the past two years with a full chapter. The members are said to be: Riddle, Hall, O'Leary, W. W. Brown, Mayer, Pugh, Sweezy, Sawtell, Jones, Brown, Smith, Black, Green, Coleman, Ross and others. As can easily be seen the omniverous quadrapeds are waxing fat.
