on umpire. The fact that a disinterested person was the desired object, lays bare Baker's position in their choice of Mr. McVicar, whose past relations with K. S. U. are too well known to be discussed. Rumor has it that Thomas and Taylor were in very poor condition. Of this the Courier knows nothand cares less. Be that as it may, the straight forward bearing and the marked desire for impartiality shown by K. S. U. cannot help but carry conviction to every fair-minded person, and reflect great credit upon the University.
Championship. K. S.U., 35; I. S. U., 24.
K. S. U. again asserts her superiority over Iowa by her victory last Saturday afternoon at Exposition Park. The game was won strictly on its merits; for, although Iowa put up a much more steady and a better line game, she was unable to comprehend K.U.'s tactics.
K. U. took the lead in the start by scoring a goal from field kick in four minutes' play. In the last part of the first half, and all through the second, Iowa took a decided brace, and were very successful in preventing K. U. from making any large gains around the ends, Captain Elliot giving most of his attention to bucking the line.
It is difficult to make any comment on the individual work of the team, for, although the men played hard, unison was sadly lacking. The team was quite a stranger to Iowa's line plays, she in no instant attempting to make a hole to send her men through, but simply calling back both ends, and they, together with three backs, were hurled against the line, their superior weight enabling them to gain on almost every down.
The best tribute that can be given to Matteson is that he out-played himself; his tackling and interfering were of the highest order.
It must have been Steinberger's off-day at the end: his tackling was poor, and it seemed impossible for him to break up opposing interference. Piatt followed the ball well, and put up a good game at his new position. McMurray's first attempt was a decided success; there is lots of foot-ball in the youngster. Johnson's punting was very good.
Iowa made most of her plays through centers and guard. Aldrich, Rodger, and Van Ovsterhaut did all the tackling on the rush line Myer and Elliot made good runs, and did some fine tackling behind the line.
Score: K. S. U., 35; I. S. U., 24.
