THE IOWA-KANSAS GAME.
The crowd which gathered to watch for news from the game were confident that all would be favorable, but wanted to learn the score before beginning the celebration. When the result of
the first half was posted, the confidence disappeared and the crowd became restless. When the final score was posted, they dispersed without a word.
The game was the hardest ever contested on the Iowa gridiron. The Kansas men clearly outplayed their opponents at every point during the first half, which closed with the ball on Iowa's twelve yard line. Twice, with the ball on Iowa's five yard line, Kansas was prevented from scoring by unfortunate fumbles.
The second half was opened by Baine kicking off, the ball being punted in return by Iowa. For twenty-five minutes a terrific "line bucking" game was played with the ball constantly on Iowa's territory, when Holbrook, the champion sprinter of Iowa, was sent around Kansas' left end with six men in the interference, for a thirty-five yard run and a touchdown. Thomas kicked an easy goal. Kansas tried desperately to tie the score but the time was too short.
For Iowa, Holbrook easily carried off the honors; while Myers, Stanton, Coldren and Thomas did splendid work. For Kansas, Baine, Hamill, Foster and Kennedy did particularly effective work. Voights was injured early in the game and Hess was substituted. The game was clean and free from slugging.
The officials of the game were as follows: Charles Kleinhaus, of Topeka, umpire; Prof. Denham, of Wilton Junction, Iowa, referee; Cowan, formely of Princeton and Bull, formerly of Pennsylvania, coaches of Kansas and Iowa respectively acted as linesmen.
The game with Emporia has been cancelled owing to the condition of the team. Abilene has arranged for a game Friday; consequently our team with no standing obligation plays the Kansas City "Medics" today.
