A GREAT GAME.
Y. M. C. A. Wins a Hard Fought Battle and K. S. U. Meets an Honorable Defeat.
It was a great game and was well played from the time that the ball was put into play till the two eleven are lined up one foot from the University line in the final effort to force the ball across the line and secure another touch down.
K. S. U. on the whole played the better game but the Y. M. C. A. had the advantage of position and of being on home grounds. It was exactly 3:30 when time was called and play commenced:
K. S. U. wins the toss, takes the ball and the game is on. The Y. M.C.A. play hard and the University is forced back. On failure to make five yards the ball goes to the Y.M.C.A. and is forced near the University line.
Balding bleeds and Kutz takes his place. The playing is near the goal and after several unsuccessful attempts the ball is forced over the line and Phillips has secured the first touch down."Rah!'Rah! Y. M.C.A." is the yell that goes up. The ball is then taken out twenty-five yards and Elkins with his patent leather kick fails to kick a goal.
Pearls kicks out and the University makes space. Davis of the Y. M.C.A.is disabled and Gossard takes his place.
The play is now in the center and many claims of foul are made but not allowed. Y. M. C. A. fails to make five yards and the University takes the ball. Sherman punts out, Phillips gets the ball and when Phillips gets the ball we make space. A lively skirmage ensues and Williamson, for the University, works the ball back to the twenty-five yard line. Dyer takes the ball, makes a short run but is held. Huddleston takes the ball, breaks through the crowd and nearly reaches the Y. M. C. A. goal before he is brought down.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 5, 1890.
The Y. M. C. A. claim the ball was held and it is taken back. This was the only time the ball was in the Y. M. C. A. territory during the first half. Hudson goes full back and Williamson quarter back and the play continues. Phillips gets the ball and by brainy blocking works the ball near the line and Elkins scores the second touch down but again fails to kick a goal.
Sherman kicks off but Elkins gets the ball and makes a good run. He then punts but the ball goes out of bonds and the crowd scatters. Phillips kicks the ball over line but Williamson gets a touch back. The balls goes to the Y.M.C.A.on a foul and is again forced over the line.
Y. M. C. A. decide to kick out
but the ball touches the ground and the University charges. The ball remains in University territory and by vigorous use of the wedge play, Y.M.'C.A.scores another touch down.
Dogget tries his luck and succeeds in kicking a goal.
Lively playing follows and the ball is punted back and forth. Phillips tries another run but is tackled by Williamson. Punting is continued and time is called with the score 18-0 in favor of the Y. M. C. A.
Peairs has been hit in the face by a kicked ball but says he is all right and the University goes in on the second half with a determination to do something. The ball is kicked out and goes near the University goal.
Hudson punts back. Hogg gets the ball and followed by twenty-one men runs nearly the entire length of the field and scores the first touch down for K. S. U. Then the University boys show the people how to yell. So small a number of students never made Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. U. sound so loud before.
Hogg then kicks a goal and more cheering follows.
Playing is resumed in a lively way, but it is evident that the Y. M.C.A.men are becoming winded.
Phillips kicks over line but Hudson makes a safety.
Hogg kicks out of bounds and the crowd scatters.
Champlain forces the ball into Y. M. C. A. territory but it is punted out and goes to Y. M. C. A. The University team is now playing hard.
The playing is now in Y. M. C. A. territory and the University is the aggressor.
The ball is punted back towards the K. S. U. line and the University secures it. It is passa to Sherman and he starts for the other end of the field as if he intended to get there.
Three men try to stop him but to no avail, he is almost to the line when he trips and falls. The University plays hard for a touch down but is forced back. Sherman again gets the ball and makes another long run and is only stopped when within a few feet of the goal. The University now tries the wedge play. Y. M. C. A. is forced back and Williamson scores a touch down. The ball is punited out as there is no chance of kicking a goal. The crowd intervenes and the University miss the ball. The University eleven is now playing for all it is worth, but the Y. M. C. A. brace up and the ball goes back into K. S. U. territory.
The ball goes out of bounds and the crowd try to prevent the University from getting it. University takes the ball but is forced back and Phillips makes another good run. The ball is now near the University goal and the play continues fast and hard. Phillips is hurt but pluckily remains. Darkness is coming on and the crowd interferes. Five minutes yet remain and Y. M. C. A. work hard to secure another touch down. The ball is within two feet of the line. Again and again Y. M. C. A. tries to force back the University rush line but it stands firm.
And with the two eleven lined up for a final effort, time is called and the game is ended with the score 18-10 in favor of the Y.M. C.A.
The clubs then repaired to the Henrietta where they enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner.
The University eleven put up a much better game than at Baldwin. There was more team work and the rush line was stronger. The eleven is rapidly becoming more proficient and the game on Monday against Baker will show to the students and faculty that K. S. U, has a foot ball eleven of which they may feel proud.
Coming up from Baldwin last Friday, one of the members of the Baker eleven lost his hat out of a car window. The train was stopped, the hat recovered and in consequence connection with the Santa Fe missed, and all the passengers waited over until nearly 12 o'clock.
Dr. Charles H. Caton, of Chicago, made a short visit at the University last Wednesday morning. Dr. Caton had delivered a lecture at Baker the night before on "Wellington and Napoleon," and spoke very highly of the reception given him by the Baker students. Dr. Caton is a great friend of Dr. Gunsaulus who lectured here on Savonarola, and says that the report that Dr. Gunsaulus has severed his connection with the Congregational church is false. He says that Dr. Gunsaulus is the most wonderful preacher in Chicago today. Dr. Gunsaulus preaches every Sunday evening to an immense audience in the poorer quarters of the city. By so doing the report was spread about that he was preaching entirely to an independent congregation. Dr. Gunsaulus receives no pay for his extra work.
Chancellor Snow will give a reception to the faculty and students of the University this evening in Snow Hall from 8 to 10 o'clock. This will be a very pleasant occasion and every student should make it a point to attend.
University reception to-night.

Baker Wins the Second Inter Collegiate Foot Ball Match
by the Score of 32 to 0.
A large number of University men including Captain Peiris went to Topeka last Friday to see the foot ball match between Washburn and Baker Universities. The day was a perfect one for sport, and this together with the fact that this was the first foot ball match ever played in Topeka, were sufficient inducements to attract a large crowd of Topeka people to the game. The elevens were pretty evenly divided as to weight, much more so than the K. S. U. and Baker elevents. Washburn, however, was not in the game from the start. The Baker men had everything their own way and according to the Capital, "it was simply a question of how high a score Baker would pile up or whether or not Washburn would have the satisfaction of scoring." The feature of the game was the work of Baker's half back Goodale, who was a terror to the Washburnites.
In the first half of the match Baker made four touch downs and three goals. In the second half Baker made two touch downs and Washburn made one safety, counting two for Baker and leaving the final score 32 to 0 for Baker. It was a curious coincident that this score should be similar to that made by Yale against Princeton last Thursday.
Prof. W. H. Carruth was referee of the game and John Moorehead, umpire.
The men comprising the two eleven and their respective positions were as follows:
Baker. Washburn.
Caudry . . . Lelt End. . . . Thomas
Wrena . . . Left Tackle. . . . Guild
Musese . . . Lelt Guard. . . . Lawson
Atherton . . Center Rush. . . Sullivan
Cool . . . Right Guard. . . . Rich
Lockhart . Right Tackle. . . Foster
Davis . . . Right End. . . Mercer
Harpister . Quarter Back. . McVicar
McRoberts { . Half Backs { . Mohber
Goodale { . Stoores
Pearson . . Full Backs . Tucker
H. A. Peairis, Prof. A. M. Wilcox, Paul Hudson, Herb, Armstrong, Bonebrake, R. R. Whitman, Prof. Carruth and others composed the University crowd at the K. S U.-Washburn game.
Prof. James H Canfield has just issued the full report of the meeting of the National Teacher's association held recently at St. Paul. The report was published by the State Publishing House, and the proof was read by Arthur B. Barteaux of this city. The report is nicely gotten up and contains much valuable information.

Academy of Language.
The Kansas Academy of Language, Literature and Art held its seventh annual meeting at Topeka Friday and Saturday of last week. A number of University people attended and took part. Prof. W. H. Carruth read an interesting paper on "Dialect study in Kansas." Prof. A. J. Canfield read a paper on,"The Genesis of Realism in Fiction." Miss Carrie Watson gave a report detailing the methods of work and the condition and prospects of the University library.
Mr. B. W. Woodward, of Lawrence, was elected president, Prof. Phelps, of Washburn, secretary, and Miss Alhborn, of Baker, treasurer. The next meeting will be held at Lawrence.
Yale recently beat the University of Pennsylvania at foot ball on the New Haven grounds by the score of 60 to 0. On the trip home the U. of P. boys made life miserable for the passengers on the boat and cars by singing, "We've been to New Haven, alack! alack! We've got in the soup! alack! alack! We're glad we're back! alack! alack! Hurrah! Hurrah! Penn-sylva-nia!" Pennsylvania is not the only college thankful to get back from having met Yale. Princeton can now sing the same song, as the score on Thanksgiving day was 32 to 0 in favor of Yale.
Washburn did not support its team last Friday with any regular cheering. Both Washburn and Baker are deficient in this respect. To be sure Washburn did not have much to cheer for, but there were several times when some rousing cheers would have aided their team wonderfully. When a team is loosing, and makes a good play, is just the time when cheering is necessary. When a team is winning it is a poor crowd that will not cheer.
W. A. Simpson, of Kansas City, Kan., visited the University Wednesday.
You may not travel much,
While attending the University.
A trip home at
Thanksgiving, or
Christmas, or
During the spring vacation, or
To Kansas City to hear Booth,
Is perhaps all your purse
Can stand.
But when you no go,
Remember that the
"Old Reliable" and
"Always on Time" line is
The Santa Fe.
It reaches more Kansas towns
Than all of its competitors
bunched.
Any time you feel in the
Migratory mood, call on
