goes on with the ball for a good gain. Piatt goes through the center for two gains of 5 yards each. The game is now called by mutual agreement, with the ball on Missouri's 5 yard line; there is still two minutes of play left. Thus ended the greatest game of the season with the final score of K.U.18,M.U.12.
Notes of the Game.
Steinberger again reigns King.
Even Sam Usher had no kick coming.
Everybody was intoxicated with joy only.
Now for Leland Stanford and the trip to the coast.
"If we didt't win the penant, we at least beat Mo."
Freddie Mac was all smiles, as Judas like he carried the bag.
Oh, how sorry are those that stayed at home just for turkeys sake.
Sal shook his tawny lionine mane in the tigers face and it was vanquished.
Stone and Armor were the only two disconsolates, and even they got over it.
Chancellor Snow executed a pas de seul in the center of the field after the game.
All evil-minded and mischief makers were blindfolded coming home on the train.
Piatt took inspiration, or something else, and played in his old form, tearing large chunks out of the Mo. line.
Williamson felt like he had lost his halo,but comforted himself with the thought of his coaching so well displayed.
The longest run of the game was made by Treasurer Moody, just at the end, from Missouri's 5 yard line clear to the ticket office.
Coach Cowan after the game slapped his 42 inch tarso and said, thus is the game I have been waiting for all the time, thus am I vindicated.
The cheering at the Coates House made even Father Time wave his hand and smile, one exhilerated enthusiast said when he looked at the clock in the lobby.
"Jimmy" Green couldn't quite manage to shake hands with all the boys at once, so shook hands with himself and kicked up his heels.
Manager Baird of the Coates House didn't object to "Rock chalk" as the last course at dinner, especially as the other guests seemed to relish it as prepared by our team.
Missouri was so thankful for darkness, and "as kindly night dropped her curtains down" over their sore defeated tcem they sighed long and piteously and slunk from the feld. Their tiger skins so shining and glossy in the early afternoon were now dirty and torn,their heads held so high in proud confidence were sunk low. Alas, how the mighty in their own conceit are fallen.
Mysterious Disappearance of a Number of University Students.
The citizens of Lawrence and the students of the University of Kansas were very much shocked and surprised at the report that the eleven young men, who had so nobly defended the colors of Beta Theta Pi fraternity on the gridiron last Saturday, had very suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. At first this report received but little attention, and from the start was thought to be a huge joke, but on the failure to locate these same students after a close and systematic search, the people became worried, parties were organixed to hunt for the missing, all trains were watched, but to no avail, not even a line was left behind, by Spellman, to inform the public as to the future whereabouts of the Beta football team. Probably the most perplexed person in the University is Chaplain Bowker; the idea that his brothers should leave without his blessing, his word of condolence, and his fatherly and ministerial advice, was more than he could stand. As a result of this lack of feeling, Bowker is sick and is unable to attend to his social duties. More might be said in regard to these young men; as to their character, their good reputation, their ability as students, and above all their love for their home; but who can tell, perhaps ere long the "varsity" will receive a challenge from some "unknowns," the game
