Steinberger fails to kick goal. Time 1 minute.
Score 10 to o, K. U. favor.
The teams line up at center of field with but a few minutes to play. Nothing of importance except a splendid tackle of Hill by Ohmer. This tackle very probably saved a touch-down Score at the end of the first half 10 to 0, K.U. favor.
The "scrubs" are put in for the second half and play a sharp, hard game, and by reason of their being fresh, made short work of the Topeka boys. McMurry goes in as captain and quarter. The "scrubs" were not particular enough with their signals and many fumbles was the result. Ryus puts the ball in play by punting 15 yards in our territory, McMurray A, punts back 25, and the ball goes to Topeka. In several good plays by the backs the ball is brought to the 15-yard line and the teams are lined up with McMurray A, at full. The ball is passed back to McMurray A, who makes a splendid drop kick goal. Time 4 minutes. Score 15 to 0, K. U. Ryus puts the ball in play, sending it 20 yards in K. U. territory. The ball is brought back 45 yards. By good gains the ball is again to the 15-yard line, and McMurray A, tries for a drop kick goal—this time he is not so successful. The ball is brought out to the 25-yard line, and punted well by Evans. The ball is carried back by McMurry 15 yards. The "scrubs" still conconue with their small gain and by a run around the left end Armour makes a touch-down. Time 14 minutes. Hester fails at goal. Score 19 to 0, K. U. favor. But two minutes is left for playing. Ryus punts 32 yards and the ball is brought back 40 yards by McMurry A. A nice run is made by Wilson around the left end, resulting in a gain of 20 yards. McMurray W, takes the ball around the right end and would have made a good gain, but for the splendid tackle of Kleinhaus of Topeka. This closed the game. Time called with the ball in Topeka territory. Score 19 to 0, K. U. favor.

Football at the Ottawa University.
On Tuesday seven of the Baker football eleven of 193 left Baldwin for Ottawa, where they will attend the Ottawa University and incidentally play football, that is of course if they are able to make the team. The purchase of this team was the result of an active canvass of the city and the university, both the citizens and students contributing freely, most of the work being done by old K. U. students. The COURIER-REVIEW, in extending her congratulations, admires the young men for their nerve displayed in the above enterprise. We wish the new team every success. One word of warning: don't attempt to play teams which are out of your class. A game has been scheduled with this team to be played at Ottawa on the 27th of October.
K U. vs. Doane College.
The team from Doane College, Crete, Nebraska, will play the University team Saturday, October 13th, on McCook field. This will be the first hard game of the season, and promises to be a close, exciting one. The Doane team last year was one of the strongest in the west; particularly did this team cover itself with glory in the Baker-Doane game—the team being the only one which Baker played and did not defeat last year. This team will be even stronger this year, having Crawford of Nebraska and a man from Ann Arbor on its rush line. Their training has been hard and systematic and they are now in condition to play foot-ball with the best.
The splendid showing made by the "varsity"
