KANSAS = 24 NOTRE DAME=5.
Champions of Indiana Last Two Seasons, and the Best Team in Central West. Goes Down in an Awful Defeat at Hands of Kansas.----Notre Dame Not in Jayhawker's Class.----No One Hurt.
Kansas administered a decisive defeat to Notre Dame this afternoon on McCook field by a score of 24 to 5. The crimson and blue put up a great exhibition of football and simply smothered the Hoosier. Trained to the hour, and full of life and spirit, the K. U. line and backs charged their opponents with a fury that could not be withstood. Time and time again the big K. U. tackles were pulled out and smashed through for five and ten yard gains. The game showed what the Kansas team is really capable of and the result places them well up with the strongest teams of the West.
Notre Dame's only score was made on a fluke. After pushing the Hoosiers back to their five yard line K. U. fumbled. Like a flash Shaunessey the Notre Dame captain seized the ball and ran the entire length of the field for his team's only score.
The game was started promptly at 2:45 when Pooler sent the ball well down into the enemy's territory. Notre Dameailed to gain and punted. Ise, Donald, and Ackerman were sent into the line and the ball was soon on Notre Dame's 20-yard line. Here K. U. fumbled and the visitors secured the bail on their 10-yard line. The fullback attempted to punt, but the ball was blocked and a touchback resulted, Notre Dame kicked out and held Kansas for downs. On the next play Guthrie broke through the K.U. line for a pretty run of 30 yards. This was followed by line bucks until the ball was on the K.U. five yard line. Kansas was equal to the emergency and held the Hoosiers for downs. The rest of the half was played in the center of the field.
In the second half Notre Dame kicked off to Kansas. The K. U team now started through with a rush and carried the ball straight down the field for a touchdown. Pooler kicked goal Kansas 6—Notre Dame 0.
Notre Dame kicked oft to Pooler. K. U. was penalized for an offside play and printed. The Hoosiers' running full fumbled the kick and Donald fell on the
ball. After a succession of hard plunges by Ise, Donald and Ackerman, Brunner broke through for the second touchdown, Pooler kicked goal. K. U. 12—Notre Dame 0.
Notre Dame kicked off to Russell who returned 20 yards. On Notre Dame's 15 yard line.
Pooler kicked off to Church, Russell now took Ise's place at full-back. K. U. secured the ball and rushed it rapidly down the field to Notre Dame's five yard line. On the next play Brunner fumbled and Shaunessey secured the ball and raced 105 yards to a touch down. Notre Dame failed to kick goal. Score. K. U. 12; Notre Dame 5.
Notre Dame's possession on their own 30-yard line and the game was over.

K. U. MEN TO GO IN BOX CAR.
Some Fraternity Men and Independents Have Started a Movement to Go to St. Louis in a Box Car.
A movement has been started in the University by some independent students and leading fraternity men to charter a box car to St. Louis, when the foot ball team goes to play Washington University, and to go to the Fair via the "box car route." Communication has been had with railroad officials regarding the car, and it seems that there may be some difficulty in securing a box car, so there is a desire on the part of many to get a baggage coach. Tables and chairs would be arranged and everything made "homelike."
The band will be taken along if the movement is pushed through, and all that is necessary is pushing. The crowd that goes would attend the game in a bunch and "root." St. Louis papers have already written correspondents here, and if the crowd goes thus, its picture will get into the St. Louis papers. In talking of the proposed trip, Director Benson of the band said, "We are sure in for it and would like to see the thing go through. I think it would be a good scheme and am sure the band would go nearly to a man."
An effort is being made to secure a rate of about five dollars. The band would get through very cheap on a trip like this.
