Matteson's work as umpire was severely but unjustly criticized.
Through the kindness of Charlie Elwell, the foot-ball team enjoyed a trip up Pike's Peak on their return trip from Denver.

The foot-ball team leaves for Iowa City today, to play the first league game of the season. It seems to be the general opinion that the Iowa game will be the hardest one of the season. Bull, of Yale is the Iowa coach, and it is reported that the team is an exceptionally strong one.
The second eleven won an evenly matched game from the Haskell Institute team on last Saturday. The play was interesting throughout, and it looked for some time as if the Indians would not score; but in the second half Elliott came out of a scrimmage with the ball and made a pretty run of 40 yards for a touch down. The second eleven played the Indians' ends for good gains; Jones, Williams and Speaks making repeated games of 10 yards. The final score was 14 to 6. Officials: Usher, lineman; Swett, umpire; Hess, referee. Time of halves, 20 minutes.

Upon the return of the Jayhawkers Monday evening from their victorious Denver trip, they were given a reception at the depot that dis-
They had won a hard game from the Denver Athletic club's foot-ball team, and that was enough. The Denver club was reported to be one of the strongest in the West, and the score of 8 to 6 suggested a stubborn contest.
However the game seems to have been poorly played on both sides, and anything but a brilliant exhibition. The Jayhawkers could get no spirit into their play. They fumbled the ball, and through the first half their tacking was wild and uncertain. The Denver team had a host of strong individual players,but their lack of team work kept them out of the game. Their only touch-down, scored after four minutes play,was made on a "fluke," as was the touch-down that gave the University the game.
The Kansas line stood strong on defensive play and the Denverites could not gain through it. But they made end run gains almost at will, and the Kansas ends seemed unable to stop them. Toomey's punting, with the assistance of the Denver ends in following the punts, was Denver's surest hold.
On the other hand the Kansas backs were unable to put up an interference that could get around the Denver ends, so the Jayhawkers had to force the line, and this they did in great style. Hamill added to his reputation as a "hole maker," and Baine and Hester went through the holes always for good gains. Hester also punted well. Big Oliver, the Denver coach, was too much for the other side of the Kansas line. Voigts made several nice runs before having to retire from the game.
