field like a deer toward the goal line seventy-five yards away. By this time, Dyer had picked up his scattered senses sufficiently to start in pursuit. On and on sped the two men, champions each for his state. Armour had only a yard the start, but he retained this advantage and, crossing the line, planted the ball squarely between the goal posts amid thundering applause and cries of Rock Chalk Jayhawk which waked up the natives across the border. The joy of the Crimsonites was dampened, however, when it was found that Armour had been injured by Dyer unwarrantedly falling upon him, just as he was stooping with the ball to the ground. Armour was borne from the field in the arms of loyal admirers and carried with him the honors of the day. In the meantime, Shellenbarger had kicked the goal and the score stood 16 to 6 in Michigan's favor. Michigan started the ball at center next time and carried it rapidly down the field until it was within a foot of the Kansas goal line when the half ended.
The second half was much more of an exhibition of brilliant foot-ball than had been the first. Foster took Armour's place in the line and did good work, pluckily refusing to go out of the game when quite badly hurt. Kansas found out she could play foot-ball in good earnest, and no longer looked askance at the big men from the lake country.
Michigan kicked the ball off from center for forty yards. Shellenbarger punted back twenty yards. Dygert cut off all but four yards of Shelley's gain by a brilliant spurt around end. Bloomington started to do likewise but his career was cut short by Piatt's fine tackle. Senter fumbled and Piatt broke through the line for a gain of two yards, but Kansas soon lost the ball.
Dygert then essayed to go around end but Shellenbarger brought him to the ground with the best tackle made during the game. Kansas again got the ball and Foster and Shellenbarger each made good gains through the line. Repeated gains were made by hammering the line and by end plays and then the pigskin was given to Wilson, who went through a hole made in Michigan's line by Piatt and Pope, ten yardsand secured a touchdown. Shellenbarger kicked the goal just ten minutes after the second half had begun, and the score was, Michigan 16. Kansas 12.
Michigan then took a brace and carried the ball down the field for a touchdown. Bloomington kicked the goal and made the score, Michigan 22, Kansas 12.
There was no more scoring on either side, but the remaining ten minutes was well utilized by Kansas, the ball being kept in Michigan's territory all of the time. By Wilson's kick-off of thirty yards, Shellenbarger's run of fifteen yards and the excellent line work of Foster, Pope and Piatt, the pigskin was advanced to within ten yards of Michigan's line, where it was when the whistle sounded the expiration of time. The game ended happily for both parties. Michigan's supporters were glad for the victory, and the Kansas rooters were overjoyed at the close score and the good showing made by the Champions of the Crimson.
KANSAS, VS NEBRASKA.
The game tomorrow on McCook field promises to be a good one. Nebraska has been saving herself for the contest and drilling in teamwork, meanwhile. Flippan. the mighty half and captain of the Nebraska eleven will make his first appearance on McCook field. The swarthy "Dahomeyan" has the reputation of playing a whole game by himself and can run further with three men hanging to him than any other player in the league. Flippan is prepared to play the game of his life and with proper support will make things interesting from a Nebraska standpoint.
As for our own favorites, they have not been in better trim this season. The splendid showing made by Kansas in the Michigan game, although several of our players were substitutes, is a good guarantee of what can be done when the whole 'Varsity eleven is present. With Williamson, Steinberger and Chappie Stone on deck, the 'Varsity will play in'92 form. All students should be present and aid the team by some systematic cheering.
FOOT-BALL NOTES.
Missouri's lads could do nothing against the Ottawa-Baker professionals, and 28 to 0 shows the result of a very one-sided game. The Tigers pursued their usual line-banging tactics, but could make little impression against Ottawa's stalwart line of professional musicians; while Taylor, Potter and Toomey, by their brilliant end runs, made
