The long looked for foot ball game between Yale and Harvard took place at Springfield, Mass , last Saturday. Harvard won by the close score of twelve to six. At the end of the first half neither eleven had scored, but in the next half Harvard got in her work. It was one of the most exciting and brilliant games in the history of foot ball. Harvard's strength lay in the frequent punting. The Kansas City Journal says of the game after the first touch down had been scored for Harvard: "The Harvard men hugged each other indiscriminately, and men and women jumped up and down upon the seats until the grand stand was in danger. Even the 125 policemen were embraced and their helmets smashed in the delirium of the moment, and the whole performance was repeated often when the second touch down came, and the victory was clinched."

FOOT BALL
The Lawrence undertakers are enterprising to say the least. This is from the Record: J. W. Robertson went to Baldwin to-day to see his old friend J. H. Boyd, formerly of this city, who is reported to be dying. J. W. Robertson'a undertaking room is located first door north of the National Bank.
K.S.U.vs.Baker.
Baker will have at least eight contestants in the local oratorical contest. Sam McRoberts and John Games are regarded as likely winners. Some of the contestants wrote their orations last summer. Much enthusiasm prevails at Baker and her orator will undoubtedly be a strong one. The contest promises to be, as usual, a triangular one between K. S. U., Baker and Washburn.
The Washburn reporter of November 19th says: "Jim Hair, the delegate from Baker to choose judges for the inter-state contest, was on the hill Saturday. Mr. Hair thinks that Baker has the crack foot ball eleven of the state, and very confidently informed us that the Baker team would condescend to white-wash us at any time. He says they have a heavy team and boasted considerably of its ability. Also that they are ready for us in tennis."
A Good Exhibition of Foot Ball Playing in which Baker Gets the Best of it by the Score of 22 to 9.
It was a jolly *crowd of students that went to Baldwin last Saturday to see the first foot ball match of any importance ever played between two Kansas colleges. The day was all that could be desired, bright, clear and just warm enough not to be uncomfortable.
At 1 o'clock the crowd commences to assemble on the Baker grounds, the stragglers from K. S. U. come in on horseback, on foot, driving and bicycle, and about half past one the elevens make their apearance. It is seen at once that the Baker eleven is composed of much heavier men than our own. Prof. Carruth is chosen referee and John Moorehead of Baker Umpire. Baker wins the toss and exactly at 1.45 the elevers are lined up, and the ball placed on the ground ready for the first kick off by Baker. Off it goes over the heads of the K. S. U. rush line to full back Palmer and the battle is on.
respondent and wonder when our men are going to do something.
The Baker rush line does not belie its looks and proves a stumbling block to our men from the first. Back and forth the ball goes, but steadily nearing the K. S. U. goal until at 1.53, exactly, eight minutes after the start Baker scores the first touch down and the Bakerites give vent to their enthusiasm. K. S. U. then retires behind its goal and every one holds his breathe while Baker tries for what seems an easy goal. The ball goes far wide of the mark however, K. S. U. gets it and the University men breath easier. K. S. U. then puts the ball in play and Hoag punts it half way down the field where it is held. It does not do much good, for the Baker rush line again, forces the fight close to the K. S. U. goal where a long struggle ensues, the ball at last going to K. S. U. on Baker's failure to make five yards in three downs. K. S. U. does not gain much, and at 2.10 Baker pushes over the line and scores the second touch down twenty-five minutes after the start. This time it is such an easy goal that every one feels certain that Baker will score, but again the ball goes wide of the mark. The score is, however, 8 to 0 in favor of Baker, only twenty minutes of the first half remain to be played, and the ball has scarcely been in Baker's territory. The Baker crowd is jubilant while the University men are des-
Again the ball is put in play and by good work it is sent into Baker's field. Again Baker's indomitable rush line steadily forces it toward n the K, S, U. goal, but this time it is not destined to arrive. Hudson gets the ball and punts it away down into Baker's field. Some sharp work follows in which Sherman manages to get the ball and making a phenominal run touches it down scarcely fifteen inches within the Baker goal, and K, S, U. has its first touch down. The Bakerites are then treated to some University cheering by way of a change, and learn how it is done. K, S, U. punts the ball out but it is not caught and the chance for a goal is lost. The battle is then waged about Baker's twenty five yard line, where presently from the mass of kicking legs and swaying bodies the ball is seen to rise and sail directly over the Baker goal. Immediately a shout goes up, for Sherman has kicked a phenominal goal from the field and K, S, U. is one ahead. The University men go wild with enthusiasm while the Bakerites keep a mournful silence. This last play is by all odds the finest of the match. The first half is not quite over yet and Baker tries desperately to score again but all in vain, and the first half ends with the score 9 to 8 in favor of K, S, U.
The eleven now stop for the ten minutes' rest and each crowd of sympathizers awaits the next half with confidence. One is doomed to disappointment and the other to unlooked for joy.
At last the rest is over and the second half has begun. The Baker men now play on the upper side of the field and the battle is waged anew. For about twenty minutes neither side scores, but from that time on the ball remains constantly in K. S. U. territory, Baker playing on the offensive and the University on the defensive. The heavy work of the Baker rush line and the phenomenal work of Goodale the Baker half back has begun to tell heavily on the K. S. U. forces. Goodale now punts the ball over the K. S. U. rush line, full back Palmer makes an unanovoidable fumble of it, and before he can recover Baker has the ball and scores a touch down, shortly afterwards a goal and K. S. U. stick has taken a rapid flight downward. The ball again goes into play and Baker forces the fight and in a short time Goodale makes a magnificent run and scores another touch down, but Baker again fails to kick goal.
K. S. U, then makes what seems a safety but the umpire does not see
it that way and it is not allowed, and exactly at four o'clock Baker scores the final touch down and the last half and match is over. The Bakerites bug each other and give vent to their enthusiasm in a series of nondescript yells, they having no regular college cheer. The University players pile into the busses for the depot, the straglers depart, and the first K. S. U.-Baker foot ball match is a thing of the past.

AMUSEMENTS.
SOCIETY EVENT.
First time in Lawrence by a professional company. Though regarded by some as a play for the young, the audiences drawn together by "Little Lord Fauntleroy" includes the gray-haired and all the ages betweer, down to the curly headed boy and girl—less, even in years than Mrs. Burnett's little hero. This wonderfully successful play will be given at the opera house, Friday, Nov. 28. Scats on sale Wednesday morning. "Little Lord Fauntleroy' will be given by French's company, the New York and Boston cast.
THANKS GIVING ATTRACTION.
The attraction to be presented at the Opera House Thursday, November 27, will be the face of"Town Lots." The Kansas City Journal of last week says;
The audiences at both the afternoon and evening performances appeared to enjoy themselves immensely. Miss Williard, the star of the company, is a clever actress, a graceful dancer and a good singer. Her music is a little serious for the balance of the performance, and, to many in the audience, was the bright part of the presentation. Ross Snow is a good comedian of the facial burlesque sort. There are several clever touches in his performances. Jennie Sylvester does a pretty dance.
Seats now on sale.
The foot ball eleven will leave for Kansas City on the 7.35 train on the Santa Fe to-morrow morning. The eleven will be entertained by the Kansas City Y. $ _{2} $ M.C.A., and after the game will be given a Thanksgiving dinner. The game will take place at 3.30 p.m. at the Y.M.C.A.park, at the end of the 12th street cable. A large number of students will see the game.
