Doane takes the ball at the center of the field; Fuller punts 45 yards; the ball is caught by Hester who carries it back 20. K.U. now plays on tackle well. Steinberger and Wilson make a criss cross, Wilson carrying the ball for a gain of 15 yards. K.U. now gets 10 yards for off-side play. By several short plays the ball is brought to the center of the field. A pleasant surprise is now thrust upon the spectators: Steinberger, aided by good interference by Cowan and Armour, makes his famous end play, making a run of 55 yards around the right end, scoring a touch-down. The Doane men seem to be unable to tackle Steinberger. Willie fails at goal. Time, 4 min. Score, 8 to 6, favor K.U.
By good playing of the halfs, nice running by Cowan and Steinberger, the ball is brought to Doane's 15-yard line, when time is called. Had there been two minutes more to play, K. U. would probably have scored another touchdown. Score at end of first half, 8 to 6, K. U.'s favor.
Doane now takes the west goal, and K. U. has the wind in her favor. Fuller punts the ball 30 yards; Willie carries it back 10, and when thrown is slightly hurt, but soon recovers and continues playing. K. U. gets the ball on a fumble. Hester makes a nice run around the right end for a gain of 20 yards, but loses the ball to Doane by allowing it to flop out of his hands. Doane keeps the ball but a minute or two, and after bucking our line with but little success, lose the ball to K. U. on a fumble. K. U. again gets 10 yards for off-side playing by Doane; Willie makes a nice kick of 30 yards; Doane takes the ball and attempts to carry it back; the man is downed nicely by Armour. Doane cannot gain, so the ball goes to K. U. on downs. By good gains by Cowan, Pope, and the backs, the ball is within 65 yards of Doane's goal. Again Steinberger distinguishes himself, making the longest run of the game and the prettiest run on the home grounds. Aided by splendid interference he goes around the right end for a touch-down, making a run
of 55 yards. This was the star play of the game. Williamson now kicks a nice goal. Time,9 min. Score,6 to 14,K.U.'s favor.
Fuller, as usual, kicks off 40 yards; after a few short gains the ball is lost to Doane on a fumble, but Doane is still unable to make any gains, and loses the ball to K. U. on downs. Cowan now shows the spectators some very scientific running and interfering, making a splendid run of 40 yards, doing some splendid interference for himself. Hester makes two nice gains through the line, and Cowan takes the ball for another run, this time scoring a touch-down. Willie fails to kick goal. Time, 7 min. Score,6 to 18,K.U.'s favor.

There is but one minute left for playing and time is called with the ball 15 yards in K.U. territory, and the best game of football ever played in Lawrence closed with the "Crimson" floating high. Certainly never in a western football game was there ever such an exhibition of scientific football playing as was played by our coach from Princeton, Mr. Hector Cowan. His playing was certainly a feature of the game. The playing of our entire team was of the A No.1 order, all men putting up a strong game. For the visitors, the punting of Fuller was very good, but his tackling was very poor. The
