The game will be called at 3 o'clock.
The greatest game of the season, today.
Every loyal K. U. student should wear the crimson and the blue.
"Kid" Allen, the old Baker "quarter" made a punt of 50 yards in the "Medic" game.
Our backs and end men have been on the field several mornings, for practice in catching and punting.
The results of recent games have been as follows: Kansas o, Kansas City "Medics" 8; Princeton 37, Cornell o; Yale 16, West Point 2; Michigan 40, Lehigh o.
The Harvard-Princeton contest will excite more interest than any of the others. The Princeton showing so far this year has been slightly the better of the two.
Today promises to be one of the best football days of the season. Several of the big teams get together, and hard games are expected. Games between Harvard and Princeton; Carlisle Indians and Pennsylvania; Chicago and Wisconsin; Northwestern and Illinois teams will make it an exciting day.
Whether the Carlisle Indians will play the game against Pennsylvania, they did against Yale is a question. If they do, Pennsylvania may lose a second game. The result of the eastern games will be watched no less closely than those of the western teams. The Iowa Missouri game will give us an idea of Missouri's strength, so that football euthusiasts may begin to have an opinion as to the outcome of the Thanksgiving contest at Kansas City.
K. U. Defeated by the "Medics."
half back seemed to find plenty of holes in the Kansas line.
The game with the professional "Medic" team of Kansas City proved disastrous to the Jayhawkers. Over confident of winning, several substitutes were played, and the regular men were sadly missed.
The line of the "Medics" proved to be an unextionally strong one Bucholz, Pendleton and Light doing splendid work, while Lewis the left
Baine played a great game until in making an end run, he was fiercely tackled by Wofford and quite seriously injured, requiring medical attendance. At the end of the first half his place was taken by Crooks. Foster was handicapped with a bad ankle and Simpson, by no means, played his game at "tackle."
Good, clean, systematic team work, was clearly lacking in the Kansas team. The interference was straggling and the idea of playing quick, "snappy" ball seemed to have beeu entirely forgotten.
Kansas won the the toss and took the north side of the field. Play started with a kick off by Pendleton which was caught but only returned a few yards by Baine. And right here is the only time at which the Jayhawkers played their game and it looked for a time, as if they would carry the "Medics" off their feet. Baine, Hess and Williamson were sent through the line and around the ends for good gains. Kansas was given 15 yards for an off-side by Piatt. Baine went around the end for 15 yards and was tackled by Wofford, after Baines' injury the team lost heart and the "Medics" tried a little line bucking themselves, Pendleton was able to make an opening almost at will, through which the "Medics"' backs plunged for repeated gains. When within one yard of the Kansas goal line the ball was given to O'Donnell, who carried it over for a touch down. Pendleton missed the goal. Score 4 to 0.
Th second half was almost a repetition of the first with perhaps a little more punting by the "Medics." The one touch down made in the second half was by terrific line bucking to within 3 yards of the Kansas goal when Greason was pushed over and the score stood 8 to o. At no time could it be said that the "Medics" goal was in danger. The game closed with the ball in possession of the "Medics" on their own 40 yd line. The officials: Referee, Dr. W. E. Jackson; Umpire, Lieutenant E. V. Smith; Linesman, Fred Gump.
First half 30 min. Second half 20 min.
