THE 'WARISITY DEFEATED MOSCOUI
ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
SAME OLD STORY.
SCORE, KANSAS 12, MISSOURI 0.
The Game, Was Played in a Driving Snow Storm and the Ground Was Covered With Ice.
For the sixth time in eight years the Tiger's tail has been unmercifully twisted and there is universal weeping and wailing at Columbia.
About three hundred university supporters together with the band left for Kansas City at 9:15. The team was quartered at the CoatesHouse, and the students made their headquarters there.
By 2 o'clock three thousand people whom enthusiasm had led to brave the storm, had assembled at Exposition park.
The conditions were most unfavorable for a good, snappy game. The field was covered with snow and ice, and a cold north wind drove particles of snow into the faces of the spectators and players. It was impossible to make end plays or fakes, the only gains being made through the line.
The game was very slow. The players were hardly able to keep their feet, and consequently much time was taken up by the players getting into their positions. The latter part of the game was characterized by numerous fumbles, the ball having become so slippery that it was almost impossible to hold it.
It was a good clean game of football, there being but little slugging on either side.
Throughout the entire game the 'Varsity had the best of it, only once did it seem that the "Tigers" would score. Missouri secured the ball on her own ten yard line, and by a succession of rapid plays carried it to within ten yards of the Kansas line, but were held for downs, whereupon Captain Mosse mounted out of danger.
The Missouri team resorted to the quarterback kick several times in the first half, but always for loses. In all of Missouri's playing the lack of generalship was prominent.
Hamill, played his characteristically good game. When the Tigers most desired to make their gains, Hamill would prove invincible and he made holes that the whole team went through.
Words of too high praise can not be spoken for the work of Silver, Owen and Woodward. Silver made a very brilliant run of eight yards without interference, but was called back because the referee had not blown his whistle to put the ball into play. Owen made a fair catch of a quarterback kick, and assisted by good interference on the part of Tucker, ran fifty yards for a touchdown.
The first score of the game was made after seven minutes of play. Mosse kicked the ball to Missouri's five yard line. The ball was returned ten yards. The 'Varsity then secured the ball on downs, forced it steadily down the field and over the line. Mosse kicked an easy goal.
At precisely 3:10 o'clock, Reteree McDonald called the two captains together and tossed the coin for choice of position. Mosse won, taking the ball and giving Missouri the north goal. The ball was placed in the center of the field and the opposing teams lined up for the kickoff.
THE GAME IN DETAIL.
An attempt was made on Kansas' line for no gain. Dunn was thrown as the ball was passed to him, and Parker was carried back for a loss of two yards, fumbling the ball, but recovering it again. Houx on a quarterback kick advanced the ball five yards to Tucker, who returned four yards; Kansas' ball.
Captain Mosse kicked the ball directly at the goal posts and the game was on. Dunn caught the ball fairly and returned it sixteen yards before being fairly tackled by Hamill.
Tucker went through the line for one yard, Silver was pushed through for four, and Mosse followed for two more. Tucker and Woodward each gained one yard. The ball was on Missouri's five yard line. Hamil made a hole through which Silver gained three yards, and Mosse was carried over for a touchdown. Mosse kicked an easy goal. Score; Kansas 6, Missouri 0.
Parker kicked off thirty-five yards to Mose, who returned twelve yards; on the
slow pass. Buzzi gained eight yards more.
Silver gained four yards through center,
and Tucker advanced the ball eight yards
further toward Missouri's goal. Silver
was tackled by Kramer for no gain. On
the two following plays Kansas failed
to make a gain and lost the ball on downs.
Missouri's ball.
Cooper went around Simpson for a gain of eight yards. McAllister was carried back three yards by Mosse. Missouri gained five yards on an offside play. McAllister was unable to make a gain, but Cooper with splendid interference advanced the ball ten yards around left end. Cooper went through the line for five yards and Parker made a gain of four yards over Smith. The 'Varsity' then held them for down on the twenty-five yard line.
Tucker and Avery lifted Cooper upon their shoulders and carried him back twenty yards, but he had put the ball out of play when he had lost only five yards. A quarterback kick advanced the ball five yards; the ball rolled out of bounds and was recovered by Buzzi. Kansas's ball.
Silver, amid the deafening cheers of University friends, worked a criss-cross for a gain of eighty yards and a touchdown. The play was ruled out on the ground that the referee had not blown his whistle to put the ball into play. Silver bucked the line for two yards, Buzzi for two and Hamil for one. One of the Tigers wrenched his arm, but remained in the game. Buzzi made five yards through left tackle, Tucker followed for six. Buzzi gained one yard around right end, and then bucked the line for four more. Silver and Smith each gained three yards. Woodward on "guards back" made five yards and Tucker was unable to make a gain. Kansas fumbled and Missouri obtained the ball. The oval however, immediately passed back to Kansas on an offside play. Buzzi gained four yards. Woodward and McAllister fell on the ball. Missouri's ball.
Buzzi failed to gain. Mosse made two yards; the ball was on the forty-five yard line. Mosse tried for field goal, but the ball sailed to the left of the posts.
From the twenty-five yard line, Parker kicked thirty yards, the ball rolling out of bounds. Tucker tried left end without advantage. Mosse punted fifty yards to McCaslin, who made a return of fifteen yards.
Dunn was unable to gain. Parker went like a shot through center for thirteen yards. Cooper made one yard. McAllister was held as he received the ball. On right tackle, Cooper made two yards, and Dunn followed for three more. Kansas' goal seemed in danger. By a succession of live plays Missouri' advanced the ball fifteen yards. Dunn went through right guard forthree yards. Kansas was paralyzed fifteen yards for offside. The ball was then on Kansas' thirty line field. Dunn gained fifteen yards around right end. Then Kansas braced up and held Missouri for downs.
Mosssepunted out of danger. Time was called with the ball in the center of the field.
SECOND HALF.
Parker kicked forty yards to Mosse, who returned fifteen. On a tandem play Mosse advanced the ball eight yards more; Silver was pushed through for three more; Tucker fumbled and Kramer fell on the ball.
Owen tackled Dunn for a two yard loss. On a quarterback kick Missouri lost thirteen yards. McAlister, however, regained this ground on the next play. Dunn went through the line for four yards, but lost the ball upon being tackled, and Silver fell on it.
Woodward bucked the line for four yards, Silver for six yards and Buzzi for two. Missouri obtained the oval on a fumble but it immediately passed back to Kansas on downs. Mosse went three yards through the line. Silver fumbled, but Tucker recovered and made a gain of ten yards. Tucker failed to advance on the next trial. Kansas fumbled, but so did Missouri, and it was the Jayhawks ball again. Silver was good for two yards through right tackle and Mosse for two yards through right tackle and Mosse for one. Tucker could not gain and the Tigers took the ball.
Mosse broke through the line and prevented any advance by Dunn. Hamil served McCain in the same manner and Parker was forced to punt. The ball sailed twenty yards to Silver, who came back five. Mosse punted thirty yards and McAllister ran park. Five meter went through
Woodward for the same distance. Parker's punt was blocked by Tucker. The ball was recovered by Missouri, but secured by Kansas when a quarterback kick sent it twenty yards and across the side line. Mosse punted forty yards to Dunn who returned eight.
Dunn hurt his head in the tackle, but stayed in the game. A quarterback kick gained five yards, and was caught by Harris. Hunter hit Woodward for four and McAllister for stored through center for two. Buzzi's bad shoulder troubled him and he was relieved by Hess. McAllister made five yards, but Hamil tackled Dunn for a loss of a yard. Parker's head hit the ice hard, but he resumed play after resting a short time. A quarterback kick went twenty yards and out of bounds, and Kansas had the ball again.
Hess signalized his entrance into the game by a six yard run through tight tackle. Silver plunged through the line for eight and then hit the center for five. Kansas was now playing a desperate game Hess was put ahead of the tandem and covered five yards before he was downed. Then came the inevitable fumble, and the leather changed hands again.
Captain Howard left the game. Kramer taking his place at center and Corrigan going in at tackle. Parker kicked off twenty-five yards to Smith, who recovered ten. Kansas missed on signals and Owen, with presence of mind, kicked the ball twenty yards. The Tigers were unable to pierce the Jayhawk line now and were held for downs.
Hess hit the line for eight yards and iliver and Tucker for three yards each' Then Hess made another eight yards, bringing the ball to Missouri's twenty-five yard line. The referee's whistle announced the end of the game. Score Kansas 12. Missouri 0.
Hunter dodged Wilcox and went twelve clean yards through center. McAllister made his customary gain of five, Hunter followed with three and then Harding was held. A quarterback kick advanced the leather five yards. Owen caught the ball and dashed down the field fifty yards for a touchdown. This was a sensational performance and the Kansas bleachers were thrown into a frezy Tucker gave the runner the interference. Mosse kicked an easy goal, making the score 12 to o.

ECONOMIC SEMINARY
Upon opening the seminary on Monday, November 21, Professor Blackmar called attention to three matters of considerable importance that had already been brought forward in one of his classes. They were:Gold Production, Life Insurance,and Street Railway.
In 1890, said the Professor, the gold production of the world was, in round numbers, $118,000,000, while the production for 1898, based on estimates made from the amount already produced and the amount actually in sight, will not fall ar short of $272,000,000. That this immense and rapidly increasing gold production is having an effect upon the monetary conditions of the world is quite probable. It is estimated upon good authority that within a few years the annual gold production of the world will reach $400,000,000.
Attention was called to the amount of capital now applied to the life insurance business. That the profits in this business are great is well apparent from the fact that one old line company, after paying all expenss and benefits had 39 per cent of its receipts remaining on hands as a surplus.
On the subject of street railways, the Professor called attention to the fact that maximum rates for either street or other railways are based on a dangerous principle because of the fact that by the shifting and changes of business the maximum rate established is liable not to yield a fair income, in which the company will appeal to the courts and obtain a decision declaring the rates unconstitutional because of the fact that they do not render a fair income on the capital invested commission giving ample powers to act according to the demands of the traffic has proved the best way to handle the question of railway rates.
In Milwaukee, an effort has recently been made to obtain a 4 cent fare on the street railways. The courts declared that a 4 cent rate would not yield a fair income to the railways and therefore held the act establishing such a rate to be inoperative. A compromise has been arranged by which the railway company will be given a charter for twenty-five years, being allowed to charge a 5 cent fare, and during the first year the franchise will pay into the city treasury $50,000, during the second year it will pay the city $75,000, and in each succeeding year of the franchise $100,000. At the end of that time the city will have the option of purchasing the plant. After that time the franchise will be let for periods of ten years, the city reserving the right to purchase the plant at the expiration of any ten year grant.
Some discussion arose on the subject of tariffs for the newly acquired colonies and mention was made of the recent appointment of a commissioner to study the relations the new colonies will bear to the United States tariff policy.
F. F. Wemple reported the attempt now being made to combine certain Gulf lines with lines connecting with the Atlantic seaboard. Whether the eastern lines were to acquire the southern ones, or whether the contrary was to be the case, is uncertain, but nevertheless in the event of the junction of the two systems of railroads there is a possibility of an equalization of the rates to the ocean. In other words there is a danger of the Gulf rates being raised. Professor Blackmar being called away at this point the seminary was placed in charge of F. M. Daum.
Ed Copley reviewed bulletin eighteen of the Department of Labor, a report on wages, giving a comparison of the wages paid in different cities of the United States and in Great Britain, France, and Belgium. Twenty-five different employments are considered over a period extending from 1870 to 1898.
