Kennedy's Men Defeat the Medics in a Hard Fought Contest.
IT WAS A BRILLIANT GAME.

The football game with the University Medical college in Kansas City Wednesday Morning was won by K. U. by a score of 22 to 8. The Medic team showed the lack of good training and proper coaching and their style of play much resembled that which was popular among the inmates of the ark.
While Heller, Light, Pendleton and Hill did good work for the Medics, they could do nothing against the team work of K. U. and were run over, pushed aside and
CAPTAIN KENNEDY
This is Bert Kennedy in Citizen clothes. He is only a "kid." you see, but his football instinct is an acquired characteristic.
The Pennsylvania tactics introduced by Kansas were a new prescription for the Medicine men, and proved a very nauseating dose.
The Medic team was completely outclassed and outplayed and was so winded during the game that time was called every few minutes to allow them to breathe.
As soon as the Medics realized that they were outclassed they resorted to their prize ring tactics and the slugging of Foster by Lewis in the latter part of the game was the most brutal exhibition of animal ferocity ever seen on a western gridiron. But it availed them not. While three men were substituted by the Medics during the game K. U. did not substitute a player and the team could easily have played another half without the slightest inconvenience.
trampled under foot until life became a hope and existence a mere memory.
The feature of the game was the rough work and slugging of the Medics. From the first time "Sal" snapped the ball back to when time was called in the last half, it is doubtful if there was a single scrimmage in which no effort was made to lay out a Kansas player.
All of the boys played good ball and aside from their inexcusable fumbling gave a good exhibition of the game. They were especially strong in defensive work and time andzgain the Medics' backs were downed for losses of from three to eighteen yards. The tandem rushes never failed to gain ground and the fake plays always made good gains.
The brutal work of the Medics was so disgusting that it is safe to say that in the future K. U. will refuse to meet them on the gridiron. Having avenged the defeat of last year,—achieved over "scrubs" and substitutes—K. U. will do well to break off all athletic relations with the college of kickers and sluggers.
The boys were accompanied by a large crowd of students who outplayed the Medic supporters as easily as the team defeated them.
There was a slight delay in calling the game caused by the refusal of the Medics to play the regulation thirty-five minute halves. They wished to play ten minute halves, with thirty-five minutes intermission, but it was finally agreed to play thirty minutes in the first half and twenty-five for the second.
THE GAME IV DETAIL.
Kennedy won the toss and selected the south goal, taking advantage of the sun and giving the Medics possession of the ball.
Pendleton kicked off thirty-five yards and Hess returned five yards. Hess was tried but no gain, Foster and Teas were sent through the line for five yards; Foster bucked center for four yards; Sanderson made three yards around end and Hess went through tackle for a yard.
THE GAME IV DETAIL.
A GREAT FAKE.
The ball was in K. U.'s possession on the thirty yard line, eight yards from the side line. A fake end run was tried, and while the Medic team was piling up on Games, Speak was running toward the Medic goal at slightly under cannon ball speed. He was downed by Heller on the Medic three yard line and Teas was soon pushed over for a touchdown. Mosek kicked an easy goal within three minutes after play was commenced; score K. U. 6. Medics o.
notices a queer play. He will be down the field in a minute and will fall upon the ball.
Fendleton kicked off fifty yards for the Medic;s; the ball was returned fifteen yards by Teas on good interference. Medics got the ball on fumble and Lewis was down by Voights for a loss of three yards. Heller lost three yards and Kennedy tackled Lewis for a loss of eighteen yards.

The Medics were held on downs and Crooks was forced to punt. Speak muffed the bull but recovered and returned fifteen yards, ball was lost on fumble and recovered by Kennedy. Speak punted thirty yards to Crooks who carried the ball back to the center of the field. Heller made ten yards, but Lewis lost ten tackled by Kennedy. K U. was five yards for the foul play of the Medicine men. Games ran around left end for ten yards while Voights lost two tackled by Crooks. Kansas made ten yards on tandem rushes and forced the Medics to call time to recover a few of their wind. Medics got the ball on downs. Waskey replace Swearingen at full back. Ball is punted and Speak returns five yards. K U. gets ten yards for an offside play of Buchholz. This greatly angered Pendleton who raged and

fumed around swearing that "He would be d——dif he would give ten yards for any offside play," but the umpire refused to be bluffed and the game went on. K. U, made several small gains, but lost the ball on offside play. Heller was tackled by Kennedy for a loss of fifteen yards. Heller dropped the ball and Kennedy fell on it. Voights was tackled for a loss of five yards and time was called in K. U's possession
on Medica's twenty-five yard line. The Medics did not have the ball in their possession over four minutes during the entire half. Score K. U. 6. Medicos o.

Pendleton kicked off forty-five yards.
Teas muffled the ball but managed to fall on it. K. U. made fifteen yards on tandem rushes but lost ball on twenty-five yard by a fumble. Heller made five yards through tackle and got six more around. Umpire Piatt took this very opportune moment to give the Medics ten yards for offside play. This took the ball to the Kansas three yard line and Lewis was soon pushed over for a touchdown. Light missed an easy goal. Score, K. U. 10, Medics 4.
Speak kicked fifty-five yards and
Speak kicked forty-five yards and the ball was brought back ten yards by Lewis.
The ball was passed to Light who started to run around the right end, he passed the ball to Heller as he ran, who darted around the left end, eluded Kennedy and Speak—who ran into Referee Smith,—and ran ninety yards for a touchdown. Kennedy touched him as he crossed the line, but was too late to tackle. Light again missed an easy goal. Score. K. U. 10. Medics 8.
The kick off by Speak resulted in a touch back. On the kick out as soon as the ball was put in play "Sal" Walker slipped up and fell on it. By rules it was Kansas' ball but Fiatt gave the ball to the Medics as first down. Medics lost five yards on a fumble and punted twenty yards. Speak returned five yards. Medics got ball on fumble. Heller dropped the ball when tackled, Mosse picked it up and ran fifteen yards, being tackled by Light. Speak, Hess and Foster make good gains through the line. Lewis, the Medic left half back who had been playing dirty ball during the entire game, hit Foster in the eve.
LEWIS SLUGS FOSTER.
The blow stunned him and he staggered to the ground, but he soon recovered and gamely refused to leave the game. Another back kick resulted in a touch back, On the kick out Foster returned fifteen yards and Kansas was given ten yards for a foul by Penny. Teas made fifteen yards on a fake end run, tackled by Buchholz. K. U. loses the ball on a tumble, Medics try the line for oain gain and K. U. gets the ball on down. K.

The Game Never In Doubt and the Indians Never Given en Opportunity to Score—Secret 40, to 9
The football game with the Haskell Indians on McCook field Saturday resulted in an easy victory for K. U. by a score of 40 to 0.
The Indians claimed a safety but a strict interpretation of the rules shows their claim to have been unfounded.
The Indians put up a game fight but were out played at every point and did not have the ball in their possession over 10 minutes during the entire game. When they did manage to obtain possession of the ball it was lost immediately on downs or they were compelled to punt.
A great improvement was noticeable in the team work of the 'Varsity and also in the individual work of the men Games at end, Avery and Sanderson at tackle and Foster and Mosse all played great ball and the work of the backs was also well done. As usual Kennedy's tackling was a feature, and Speak made several good runs. The 'Varsity men broke through the Indian line at will and four attempted quarterback kicks were blocked in this way.
Haskell won the toss and took the ball, K. U. taking the east goal. The Indians kicked off for forty-five yards and the ball was carried back fifteen yards by good interference. K. U. buckled the line for several good gains. A fake end run was then worked for a touchdown by Speak from the forty-five yard line. Moses kicked the goal. Score, K. U. 6, Haskell o.
The teams lined up for kick off and Speak returned the ball to the center of the field by a good punt. Haskell lost the ball on downs. After a small gain around the end Foster was sent through the Indian center for a touchdown from the center of the field. Moses kicked goal. Score, K. U 12, Haskell o.
From this on the game gradually became a procession with guards Foster and Mosse in the lead and the balance of the Kansas team bringing up the rear. The third touchdown was scored with only eight men in line, three of the men being down the field and out of the play entirely. But all Indians looked alike to K. U. and a man or so, more or less made little difference. After this the Indians lost courage and though they continued to struggle gamely to the end they perceived they were overwhelmed and victory was a hopeless impossibility.
The work of the team as a whole was very gratifying to the supporters of the team. All feel much encouraged at the outlook. The game was full of life and though one sided, as the score shows, was at times quite exciting. Quite a discussion occurred at one stage of the game, the Indians claimed a safety. Speak attempted to return a kickoff but the kick was blocked and Speak finally fell on the ball in the Kansas touch-in goal. If he had called "down" it would have been a safety and would have scored two points for Haskell. Speak, however, did not call down and as soon as the Indians "piled off" started with the rest of the team to run it out, and thus carried it to the center of the field before being tackled. The play was new to the Indians and confused them, but was finally allowed. The final score was K. U 40, Haskell o.
NOTES.
Poorman was on the field Monday and engaged in light practice. His ankle is much improved.
A number of young ladies took dinner with the team, Sunday evening.
It is announced that the contests in doubles in the tennis tournament will be played on Friday and Saturday of this week.
T. Davenport Smith announces that he will don a jacket and a pair of padded trousers and once more seek glory and renown on the gridiron.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat, of Sunday, October 3d, contained an extensive write-up of the Missouri and Kansas University football teams. The Kansas write-up was illustrated with pictures of "Sal"—alias Will—Walker, and Captain Kennedy. Aside from several misspelled names the article is fairly accurate.
Missouri played her first game with the Warrensburg Normal school, at Colu mbia, on Monday, and has a game scheduled with the Medics for October 6th.
