IT WAS NEVER DEFEATED.
The Varsity Maintains Its Reputation at Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day.
KANSAS SCORED, 34; MISSOURI, 6!
The Jayhawks All Played Football, and the Tigers Went Down in Defeat, but Earned Their Score.
Thursday at Exposition Park in Kansas City, Kansas "showed" Missouri that Kansas has the best football eleven in the Mississippi Valley. It was the ninth time that the Jawhawks have met the Tigers and the seventh time that the Tigers have been vanquished. It was a wondrful game. It was fast and fierce. It was the best exhibition of football seen in the west for years. Both elevers went in to win, both were backed by thousands of anxious, cheering, urging friends. How could a team lose with such support? But one of them had to lose and it was the Tigers who lost.
Hours before the game crowds of people stormed the heavy gates for admission. By 1 o'clock hundreds of people were surging toward the scene of the struggle. Men fought and scrambled and pushed for a favorable position on the bleeches and in the grand stand. Thousands of voices filled the air, and hundreds of yards of bunting and ribbon streamed in the chilly wind.
At a 2'clock the gates opened and the giants from the two universities appeared on the field. A mist was falling and a pittteless north wind was cutting the spectators who sat anxiously awaiting the appearance of the players. When they trot into the field 10,000 people stood up and stamped and yelled and mingled in the hearty welcome.
The preliminary practice was very short and snappy.
The game began promptly on time at 2:30 and such a game as it was! They built heaps of men; they laid stone walls of human flesh; they skirted ends with whirlwind rapidity; they bucked lines with animal fierceness; men dived into great struggling heaps as if they were hundreds of miles from danger. Thousands applauded and the play was fiercer and fiercer every minute.
During the first half Kansas walked over the Tigers and tramped them in the dust; Tucker. Owens, Moore, and Avery flanked the Tigers' ends for phenomenal gains; Smith Woodward, Wilcox, and Hess plowed great holes in the Tigers' line; Algie and Nofsinger broke up interference and plunged through the Tiger's for wonderful gains. The Kansans scored 23 in the first半分. No one man did it but the whole eleven worked and played like demons. The Tigers could not stop it. They tried; they plunged fearlessly into the Jay hawker formations but it was useless.
useless.
It was during the second half just before the Tigers got the only touchdown that the real foot ball was played. The Tigers were 25 yards from their goal and for ten minutes they put up the most heroic fight ever seen in the west. Though the Jayhawkers line up a cyclone; they plunged and dived and shoved and pushed until finally they went over. Hill did their work. Kansas never played such foot ball as she did during these ten minutes and it is doubtful if the opposing team had scored but for an offside play by Kansas.
THE TIGERS WERE EASY.
They bit on the double pass that has whiskers and has been voting for years. They were smoothly worked also on the long pass. Both these fakes were worked for touchdowns. The Tigers are a mighty good lot but they were up against the real thing coached by Yost and managed by Elliott.

This team won the championship of Ohio and played Michigan university o to o. Last year Yost coached the Nebraska
THE KANSAS COACH.
team, and its record is well known. Coach Yost is the "power behind the throne," anp if Kansas should defeat Missouri the victory will be largely due to his careful and diligent work. He is rigid in his discipline and severe in working his men, but he understands the game thoroughly and the rapid progress the Jayhawkers have made in team work is a remarkable evidence of his ability.
Meahan, the regular varsity center, is 20 years old and stands six feet in his stocking feet. He weighs 185 pounds stripped. He was born in Marion county, Kas, and his home is now at Tampa, in that county He played with the St. Mary's college team for two years before coming to Kansas university this year.

He weighs 195 and is over six feet in height. He is the oldest K. U. man on the team, having played on the teams of '96, '97, '98 and '99.
