THE GAME WAS FINISHED, SCORE
K. U, 0, NEDRAKA 18.
The 'Varsity Was Defeated in a Closely Contested Game.
The game has been the topic of conversation on the streets for the past week, and enthusiasm has been at its height.
The merchants have been preparing decorations all week and this morning the streets were lined with great bands of red and blue. Numerous displays calculated io attract the attention of football lovers, were made in show windows.
The railroads offered a rate of one fare from Emporia, Hutchinson, Newton, Ottawa, Atchison, Leavenworth, Abilene, Salina. Topeka and Kansas City.
Last evening the crowds began to arrive most of whom were former students of the University. Crowds continued to arrive all morning and this afternoon a train load came from the east. Among them were a great many supporters of Nebraska.
The University Alumni association came in from Kansas City in a body.
The game was advertised as the greatest: football event of the west. Neither team had been defeated this season, and the game itself was to decide the championship of the Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri league. The fact, too, that the game with Nebraska last year ended in a row, increased the interest in the battle.
Every man on the University team was in the pink of condition—better prepared for a harder game that any Varisity team in the last few years.
The 'Varsity lined up Monday for the last time, and since then had been in secret practice.
MASS MEETING.
The line up of the two elevens:
The Nebraska team is composed of heavy and experienced men, five of them having played on the University team last year. While only four of the Kansas team played on the Varsity, Kansas has an advantage in weight however.
Yesterday at 11:45 a mass meeting was held in the University chapel to prepare for a reception of Nebraska. The Chancellor and members of the faculty urged the necessity of a good clear game.
ARRIVAL OF NEBRASKA.
The Nebraska team left Lincoln yesterday morning arriving in Kansas City in the evening where they remained last night. They arrived in Lawrence this morning at 11:04. Nearly a thousand students together with the University band met them at the depot. The noise of the engine was drowned out by the deafening cheers for Kansas University.
