Kansas Wins from Nebraska.
Last Saturday was a gala day for Lawrence foot-ball enthusiasts. McCook field was crowded with handsomely decorated turnouts especially noticeable being the tally-hos of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta fraternities which were gaily decorated with crimson and blue mingled with the colors of the respective societies.
The game was in the nature of a most agreeable surprise to the Jayhawkers. The contest, which was much closer than the score indicates, was a well earned victory for Kansas. It would be impossible to give the names of the men who "played to win" without giving the entire line-up of the Kansas team. The game in detail was as follows: Kansas won the toss. Captain Hamill chose the ball, Nebrafka taking the west goal. Baine kicked off for 40 yards.
Thorpe carried the ball back only 4 yards before he was downed by the Kansas ends. Shed went through the Kansas tackle for 3 yards. Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Kennedy got the ball. Terrific line bucking by Hester, Baine and Hamill, carried the ball well down into the Nebraska territory. An off side play takes the ball to the Nebraska 10 yard line, and the Jayhawkers along the side lines nearly went wild. But "silence reigned supreme" when by an unfortunate fumble Kansas lost the ball and Thorpe punted the pigskin down the field for 40 yards. Kennedy got the ball. Sanderson and Mosse were sent against the line for small gains. Kansas tried a quarter back punt but owing to the wind lost 10 yds and the ball. Dungen, Shedd and Packard buck the line for small gains, Burke was given the ball for an end run but Sanderson was too fast and tackled him for a loss of 10 yards. Nebraska attempted a punt, which was blocked by Voights and Kennedy, Voights falling on the ball with a ten yard loss to Nebraska. Hester sprained his ankle, and Hess went to half and Baine took Hester's place at full.
Kennedy failed to gain and Nebraska got the ball on her 10 yard line Turner, Nebraska's big guard, made two yards, Thorpe lost 5 yards. Nebraska fumbled on a pass for a punt and Kansas took the ball just 1 yard from Nebraska's goal and Baine was pushed over for a touch-down just 15 minutes from time play was called. Walker kicked the goal.
In the second half Shedd kicked off for 45 yards, Baine regained 10 yards, Baine punted for 50 yards, Whitney was down the field and downed the man in his tracks. Sanderson stopped an end run and Kansas got the ball. Then it was that the ball was passed to Baine for an end run with Voights and Sanderson in the interference, he circled the end and went down the field 60 yards for a touchdown. Walker kicked goal.
In the face of defeat the Nebraska men played harder than before, but it was useless. It was Kansas day and she was out to win.
