KANSAS, 16 MISSOURI, O.
For the Fifth Time in Seven Years the Jayhawkers Are Victorious—The Game Was Never in Doubt.
MISSOURI TIGERS AGAIN MEET DEFEAT ON EXPOSITION GRIDIRON.
It was Kansas' game from the time tue whistle blew to begin until the time it sounded to let the people know it was all over. Kansas won by superior work at every point. She had a slight advantage in weight, and in training was far more superior to Missouri's men.
For the fifth time in seven years the Missouri Tigers have gone down to defeat before the Kansas Jayhawkers in the annual Thanksgiving day game in Kansas City. In a contrast which was free from objectional features of every character, Kansas once more has proven her supremacy over Missouri.
The Kansas man who, more than any other excited the praise of the spectators, was little fullback Fred Speak. Speak played the game of his life. He was one of the best ground gainers in the game and his tackling was brilliant. He made several attempts at field goal from place kicks.
Hess made a sensational forty yard run for a touchdown. Kennedy never played better and his quarterback kicks always netted big gains. Blockberger's work, especially defensive, was the best he has done this season. Games, Foster, Mosse, Voigts—yes, the whole team—played ratty good football and that explains the 16 to o score.
785 Maas. st.
Missouri's line was strong but behind the line she was weak. Woodson, the full back, was lamentably so. Every Kansas man held his own with his opponent and Kansas won the game because she played better football.
The game was a financial success, our share of the gate receipts being eleven hundred and forty dollars. The business success of the game is due wholly to the able management of Russell R. Whitman
THE GAME IN DETAIL
K. U. won the toss and took the ball, Missouri taking the south goal. Speak made the first play of the game by kicking off forty yards for Kansas. Kramer caught for Missouri and returned the ball ten yards by a pretty run. The opposing teams队led up, the thousands of spectators watching in breathless silence for the result of the first onslaught of the Tigers upon the Jayhawk line—the admirers of the black and old gold, to be doomed to disappointment; the wearer of the crimson and blue to burst into cheers, when twice the heavy Missouri tandem rushed against the Kansas线, quivered, broke to pieces and fell back for no gain. Again Missouri tried the line in the hope of making the required distance, but fell short by two yards and "Sal" took the ball for Kansas amid the deafening shouts of "Rock Chalk" from the blenchers and side lines.
"Guards right,"—Hess took the ball and made a yellow yards before a Tiger touched him. In the next few plays the Kansas tandem aided Hess to make three yards, Hess two again, Foster three, Speak two, Mosse one, Hess two again, Poorman two, and then Missouri got into the play and carried Hess back two yards. Kennedy placed the ball for a try for a field goad, but the ball, in defiance of a field enthusiasm and as if trying to raise the lowering spirits of the Tiger family, found more room outside the goal posts. Woodson got the ball for Missouri back of the goal line, making a touchback. Missouri punted thirty yards from the twenty yard line. Speak fumbled, but fell on the ball. Voights was given the ball for a run of seven yards around Missouri's left end. Games made two yards, Foster one, and Missouri got the ball on downs. Woodson made a gain of five yards on right tackle, Hill followed with one yard, but the third attempt on the Kansas line was for no gain. Woodson punted thirty yards, and Speak was tackled by Hill before he could advance the ball a step. Hess made two yards on right tackle, Speak four and Foster ten yards on left.

tackle; another attempt by Hess and Kennedy punted thirty-five yards Woodson failed to return, Missouri was held for downs and Kansas took the ball. Speak, Hess and Poorman made ten yards and Games got the ball for fifteen yards gain on a quarterback kick. Missouri again braced and got the ball on downs, but was in turn held and forced, to rupt.
The punt was a beautiful one of thirty-five yards, but Speak, aided by Kennedy's splendid interference, carried the ball back twenty-five yards. Voigts made three yards by crawling through Missouri's right tackle. Speak made fifteen yards on the fall back fake. Voigts advanced the ball ten yards on right end, Kansas was held for downs, and Missouri met the same fate. Kansas got the ball and went to work on the Missouri line. Foster made two yards Poorman four, Voigts ten, Foster three, Poorman three and Mosse was shoved over by the tandem for the first touchdown of the game. Mosse tried and missed an easy goal and the score stood Kansas 4. Mississippi 0. Time, seventeen minutes.
Woodson kicked off for Missouri forty-five yards, but Speak returned twenty-five. Poorman made five yards; the fullback fake was tried, but Speak was tackled for no gain. Kennedy punted twenty-five yards. Missouri gave the ball to Kramer, who made a run of fifteen yards on the Kansas right end. Woodson punted twenty yards and Speak fell on the ball. Voigts made a pretty run around right end, and it began to look like a touchdown, when Woodson stopped him by a clever tackle, but not until twenty yards were cleared. Foster gained five yards on left end; the tandem made two and Poorman five. Voigts lost, and Games made five yards. Parker was hurt slightly and took his three minutes. Mosse hit the line for five yards gain, and the ball went to Missouri on downs. Two runs around the Kansas right end gained ten yards and Missouri was forced to punt. Foster broke through Parker blocked the punk and Voigts fell on the ball. Speak hit center for five yards, Voigts took five on right end, and Speak tried a field goal at forty balls but failed by a few feet.
Woodson punted thirty yards and Mosse returned the ball ten yards. Fcster was carried back for a loss by Hill and Kramer. Kennedy punted thirty yards, Woodson returned it five yards. Missouri tried the line but failed to gain. On the next play she fumbled and Kansas got the ball on the twenty-five yard line. Hess was given the ball and breaking through Killiam and Liggett, and dodging Woodson made a run of twenty-five yards for a touchdown. The Kansas rooters were wild with joy as Mosse kicked an easy goal and the score Kansas 10, Missouri o, appeared on the score board. This score was just in time for as the teams lined up for the kick off they were informed that time was up for the first half.
Woodson kicked off and the ball bounded over the goal line. Missouri was evidently asleep as Speak picked up the ball and walked into the field, and was just breaking away to make a touchdown when he was downed almost in the center of the field.
SECOND HALF.
Speak tried the Missouri line but failed and Kennedy punted forty-five yards. Woodson returned five yards and was tackled by Voigts. Fast failed to gain. Woodson punted fifteen yards and Speak returned five on the Tigers' line. Missouri took the ball on a fumble, but after trying the Kansas line for no gain, Woodson punted thirty yards. The ball went over Speak's head but was caught on the bound and Speak was tackled by Harris. Mosse was stopped by Howard for a loss of three yards. Hess was aided by the tandem in making three yards. Kennedy, by a punt of fifty yards at this point showed that he was able to keep up his brilliant work in punting. Woodson got the ball but was downed by Voigts for a loss. The Kansas defensive play again proved itself too much for Missouri and Woodson punted twenty yards. Speak was downed in his tracks by Harris.
At this point the Jayhawkers went to work in earnest and made gains at every point. Foster gained five yards on the line and and Voigts three on the right end. Kennedy kicked the ball twenty-five yards and Games fell on the ball. Poorman and Games advanced the ball five yards each on Missouri's right end. Kennedy again tried the quarterback kick, a sure winner against Missouri. Games again beat Woodson to the ball, which went over the goal line and Games made the third touch-down, Mosse kicked an easy goal and the score stood Kansas 16, Missouri 0.
Woodson kicked off twenty-five yards to Blockberger who returned five yards. On the next play Kennedy punted thirty yards, and Woodson fell on the ball. At this point Missouri began to play hard and fast, showing more vigor than at any other time during the game. Fast, Hill and Kramer made gains repeatedly through the Kansas line, and Corrigan gained four yards on left end. Liggett tried the quarter back kick and Kennedy fell on the ball. Kennedy made a quarterback kick of thirty yards in return. Woodson returned by a kick twenty five yards and Speak got the ball.
Again Kennedy placed his foot to the ball and drove it fifty yards over the Missouri's heads, and as Woodson picked up the ball, he was downed by Voigts Missouri gave the ball to Kramer who made four yards before he was stopped by Voigts. Liggett tried a criss-cross but was downed by Games for a loss. Kansas got the ball on the next play on Woodson's fumble, and Speak tried a field goal from the thirty yard line, but again failed.
From the twenty yard line Woodson punted twenty-five yards. Blockberger was given the ball and was downed by Kramer for a loss. In this scrimmage quarterback Liggitt was hurt but he recovered and stayed in the game. Again the quarterback kick was tried but Gentry fell on the ball. Kramer made seven yards on the left end and Fast hit the line for five yards. A criscross was tried but Foster downed Kramer for a loss of five yards. Woodson punted twenty yards and on Kennedy's fumble Farker got the ball On the fake tandem that Missouri next tried. Gentry made ten yards around Kan

MOSSE ELECTED CAPTAIN.
The Genial Right Guard Will Guide the Fortages of Kangas in 1898.
Fortunes of Kansas in 1808
After the Missouri game the 'varsity and the subs assembled in the parloors of the Coates House to elect a captain for '98.
Bert Kennedy was renominated but declined to be a candidate. "I have had my share of honor, boys," said our plucky quarterback, "and now I want some of you good men rewarded." Kennedy has made a clean record as captain,
CAPTAIN A. ST. L. MOSSE.
and the football boys think there is nothing too good for him.
When Bert declined Mosee was nominated and unanimously elected.
Arthur St. L. Mosse has for two years played right guard on the Kansas eleven. This year he has made for himself a great reputation. He is one of the most popular men on the team, his witticisms being classic in the precincts of North College. Mosse has the confidence of the men and will do his best to make the team of '98 a winner.
ONE SAFETY DID IT.
KANSAS AND MEDICS$ PLAY A DES-
PERATE GAME AT KANSAS CITY.
Nether Team Crosses the Other's Line
But the Doctors Score a Safety.
Kansas Safety Is Not
Allowed.
Kansas met its first defeat of the season last Saturday at Kansas City before the University Medical college professional team. One little safety won the game for the doctors.
Since the game played early in the season when Kansas walked over the doctor s to the tune of a2 to 8, the Medics have been greatly strengthened. "Kid" Allen of the old Baker team of a few years ago, and who played with Northwestern last year, now fills the position of quarterback. Saturday's game, from the start until time was called, was one of the most hotly contested of the year. Every inch of ground was warmly fought for and neither team was able to cross its opponents' goal line.
The playing of the Kansas team was no up to the standard it set early in the season. The boys had the appearance of being stale. Their work lacked ginger and warmth and they did not put up the quick, snappy, aggressive game they are capable of playing.
The trick plays were not used to advantage. The Medics succeeded in shattering the Kansas interference and the tandem did not net big gains.
Kennedy's kick also made big gains for Kansas and he easily had "Kid" Allen bested. Simpson played his first game o the year, and at left end acquitted him self remarkably well.
Speak's attempts at field goal from place kicks were the features of the game. Twice he barely missed being successful, the lost time the ball falling only a few inches short of the cross bar between the goal posts.
The Medics made the first and only score of the game in the first half after about ten minutes of the play. The ball had been forced almost to the Kansas goal line when Kansas by a magnificent exhibition of defensive work held the Medics back and secured the ball on downs. Poorman took the ball but Heller, who played a magnifi game, broke through the line and forced him over for a safety. A punt would have scored the game.
After this it was nip and tuck. Both teams fought like tigers and the result was in doubt until time was called.
Near the close of the game Kansas also scored a safety. The point was a very close one and Referee Cornell did not allow the score.
Speak had made at attempt at goal from the forty-rod line. The ball went squarely between the posts but fell about a foot below the cross piece and into the arms of Sutton, who stood just inside the goal line. As he caught the leather he stepped back aver the line.
Kansas, of course, claimed the safety, but Sutton insisted that he was back of the line when he caught the ball. Referee Cornell was several yards away when the play was made, but he took Sutton's word, and decided that no safety had been made.
By the decision the score was 2 to 0 in
faqor of the physicians.
A DESERVED PROMOTION
Frank Shellabarger Leaves the Weekly to Accept a Position on the Capital.
Mr. Frank L. Shellabarger has resigne the associate editorship of the WEEKLY and has withdrawn from the University. The reason for this is a tempting offer which Mr. Shellabarger received last week from the Topeka Capital and which his good newspaper judgment would not let him refuse.
Mr. Shellabarger has been identified with the WEEKLY for two months and during that time has made his department very popular with the students. He has what is known in newspaper vernacular as "a nose for news," and a crisp style which has made his copy readable. But his work attracted attention elsewhere and the result is the WEEKLY's loss.
The Capital is fortunate in securing Mr. Shellabarger.
We have just received a shipment o four ply linen collars in all the late shape and are putting them on sale at 10c. ROBINSON & ROBINSON,
