Denver, 24; K. S. U., 10.
Fully 5000 people saw D. A. C. reverse the majority of last year's game in one of the most exciting games of the season. A year ago the tune of 20 to 6 turned a certain day to crimson, but now it stands cherry black—24 to 10. The game was marked by the inate desire of Mr. Lewis to keep D. A. C.'s record unsullied, and the utter refusal of the Denver team to obey the rulings of Mr. Davis.
The work of the 'Varsity line was fair, but right guard and tackle need especial coaching. The play of all the backs was good, Johnson's field kicking deserving especial mention. The interference was weak, but the fierce and sure tackling brought many a cheer from the bleachers. Fouts, Bohn, and Mills played the game for Denver, aided by almost perfect interference.
