shattered. Hester is seen to grasp the ball but as he dashes at the center of the rush line the slippery pig-skin escapes his grasp and rolls into the hands of Hayes, Iowa's end rush, who with no one near to stop him and a clear field in front runs seventy-five yards for a touch down.
Collins attempts a goal but fails and the score now stands after twenty-three minutes of play, 1owa 4, Kansas 0.

The ball alternates between the two sides for the next five minutes, and when time is called for the first half the score is still Iowa 4. Kansas 4.
Second Half—Kansas kicks the ball off and after five minutes of hard bucking the line scores a touch-down. Piatt fails to kick goal and the score is8 to4 in favor of Kansas.
The play continues fast and furious for about ten minutes more with no great advantage to either side when Collins of Iowa suddenly breaks through the Kansas rush-line and secures a touch-down by a forty-five yard run. Collins fails to kick goal and score is Iowa 8, Kansas 8.
The ball is once more kicked off by the K. U. team and is captured by Iowa. The Kansas boys soon gain possession again however, and after splendid gains by Wilson, Hester and "Shelly" respectively. Wilson takes the ball over the line for another touch down. Hester attempts a goal but fails leaving the score 12 to 8 in favor of Kansas.
The ball once more and for the last time goes to the center of the field and is kicked off by Iowa.
Both teams now realize that time is almost up and Iowa especially,seems determined to win.The Iowa team plays now quicker and faster than ever and her fast
playing begins to tell upon the K. U. team. The Kansas boys succeed however in holding their own against the fierce attacks until suddenly a wearer of the yellow stockings dashes swiftly around left end for a run of twenty-five yards when he is tackled by Shellenbarger and Wilson. The ball however escapes from him and by the impetus of his fall is sent rolling for ten yards over Kansas goal line where it is quickly pounced upon by an Iowa player thus scoring the last touch down of the game for Iowa. Amidst the greatest excitement and enthusiasm by the supporters of the yellow, Iowa succeeds in kicking a goal thus making the score Iowa 14, Kansas 12.
There is only about two minutes left to play and all realize that the game is up for the K. U. boys. Time is soon called with the score still 14 to 12. The greatest enthusiasm is manifested by the supporters of the Iowa team and the gallant Hawkeye players are borne from the field upon the shoulders of the crowd.
The game was close from start to finish in spite of the fact that both teams were somewhat handicapped by the disagreeable condition of the grounds.
This is the fourth game that has been played between Iowa and Kansas State Universities and each has been twice victorious over the other.
An error on the part of the referee made the last half forty-five minutes instead of the regulation thirty-five. This may result in the game being given to K.U., as Iowa's winning touchdown was made during the last three minutes played.
MISSOURI 18, NEBRASKA 14.

By all odds, the most brilliant player on the field was Flippan, the "Dahomeyan," Nebraska's colored halfback. He played the game of his life and struck terror into the stout hearts of the Missouri lads. The Kansas City Times says:
"Without him Nebraska's eleven players would be but children. The darky was everywhere. He played across the field like a smoking flame. He plunged and he
