Nebraska plays D. A. C. at Denver Saturday.
At last the Fairmount Park Association of K. C. have perfected arrangements with the Chicago Athletic Club and K.U. for a game on November 11th. The fact that the league game between Missouri and Nebraska was scheduled on that date seemed to make it impossible to secure a satisfactory compromise. But Thursday morning Manager Moody received word that Nebraska and Missouri had consented to play at St. Joe, thus leaving us a clear field. The game promises to be one of the best of the season, perhaps only excelled by the game with Ann Arbor. C.A.C. has one of the strongest teams in the Northwest, defeating Denver Athletic 6 to o,and last Saturday Illinois went down before her to the tune of 10 to 4. The management is to be congratulated on the quality of the games selected for the 'Varsity.
Next Saturday we play Iowa at Kansas City, and the fact that every student should be present on Main Street that day cannot be emphasized too strongly. The K. C. Star, in its write-up, lays great stress on our inability to make ourselves heard, and not without cause. In the Baker game at times some sort of unison would be kept, and B. U.'s gutteral "Hoorah! Hoorah!" would be found wanting; but, on the whole, our much talked of college spirit and enthusiasm was at a decidedly low ebb. The fact that the 'Varsity was playing an awfully up-hill game seemed to make no difference. In the coming game, let the team have the united support of the bleachers, and a hearty support at that. Don't wait for the Ann Arbor game, but turn out Saturday. A mass meeting of the students to select time beaters for the University would most certainly be in order. Let the populace of Kansas City know that the jolly gay students still have the unbounded faith and belief in this year's 'Varsity, even though they were so unfortunate as to score more points on Denver's professional aggregation than the combined scores of C. A. C., Northwestern University, and M. S. U.
You are due at Kansas City next Saturday.
The K. C. alumni of K. S. U. held a meeting Tuesday night for the purpose of taking steps toward properly receiving the 'Varsity next Saturday.—K. C. Journal.
Last Saturday's games: Minnesota 34, Ann Arbor 20; Princeton 76, Wesleyan o; Harvard 58, Brown o; U. of P. 82; LaFayette o; Yale 26, West Point o; Butler 36, Indiana University o; Chicago Athletic 10, University of Illinois 4; Williams 10, Cornell 10.
And again the fact that he is a hired coach is a falsity from the start. Prof. Shepard has sworn before a notary his denial of the charge of N. U. And this document, together with the official signatures of Chancellor Snow, Registrar Templin, and Manager R. K. Moody, will soon silence the howl from the North. Selah.
Second Eleven, 28; K. C. High School, O.
Constant practice with the 'Varsity has begun to tell on the second eleven. Saturday's game was marked by their steady team work and offensive plays. For the visitors, Barbour and Riese made good gains; but the tackling and interference was very poor. Kutz, Higgins, Wilson, and McMurray made excellent runs, aided by good interference. Umpire, Coleman,'93; referee, Buchan,'94.
Baker, 10; N. S. U., 10.
Crawford has played the Yale trick of disparaging his team to perfection on our Metododist neighbors. For a more confident team never existed than B. U. before the Nebraska game. Baker made the first touch-down on a 65 yard run by Heller. Thomas kicked goal. N.S.U.gains 60 yards on the checkerboard play; Yont goes around the end for 25 more, and Fleppin bucks center for touch-down. Crawford missed goal. In the second half, N.S.U.made a touch-down and goal, and Baker a touch-down. Time was called with the ball in Baker's territory. Score, B. U., 10; N.S. U., 10.
On Monday, Baker defeated Doane College 10 to 0.
