K. U. Defeats Emporia.
The "day was dark and cold and dreary" but nothing could dampen the ardor of the two hundred enthusiasts who stood ankle deep in the mud at McCook Field, Saturday and watched the 'Varsity win a very one-sided game from the Emporia College team. The players soon became covered with mud and presented a very comical appearance. It may have been a good day for ducks but not for football. On account of the rain and mud, quick, "snappy" play was impossible.
K. U. won the toss and took the ball. Hester kicked off for 20 yards, Parrington returned the ball 6 yards, but a fumble gave it to 'Varsity. Voights and Hess struck the line for good gains and Voights went around the right end for 10 yards. Hester struck the line for 7

The 'Varsity showed marked improvement in team work, both offensive and defensive. Each man played his position well, while Parrington, Lamb, Schorer and Randoph divided honors for the visitors.

The Spartan mother was pale but resolute. Her hand trembled as it rested on the armored shoulder of her only son about to go forth to battle, but her lips were set sternly and her eyes were dry. "My boy," she said solemnly, "come back with your shield or upon it, and thank your lucky stars that its only war and not football."—Exchange.
