Gaines lost a yard and the ball went to Iowa on an off inside play. Gaines went through right tackle for 10 yards, and was beautifully tackled by Outland. Hamill jumped on Cutting and downed Hobbs for a loss. Leighton tried to punt, but the ball would not rise, so foster fell on it. Outland, Hester and Burney then took turns at the Iowa line, for good gains, Burney going through guard for a down. The features of the next down was the two big runs of Outland sround right end, one for a 35 yard gain, the second for 55 yards and down blocked by Games and Piatt. In this interval Halbrook made two fine tackles.
The first play of the third line up, was a 35 yard end run by Gaines. This was too much for the Iowa boys, so Powers was called into Allison's place at right end. Piatt and Foster took 4 yards and 8 yards through guard and tackle. Burney got around Holbrook for 20 yards. Games again went around the end for 10 yards, and was ruled off for slugging, Crooks taking his place.
Piatt fumbled and Gaines took the ball. Hobbs goes 10 yards and Halbrook 5 yards through right tackle. Leighton tried right end and was beautifully tackled by Crooks. Hamill downs Hobbs for a loss, and K.U.takes the ball on downs. Outland gained 30 yards on three attempts around left end. Hamill and Burney were pulled down neatly by Halbrook on short gains through the line. Burney then goes around right end for a down.
Another down was scored in the first half on good end gains by Crooks and Burney and hard line bucking by Hester.
In the second half five more downs were scored. The play was almost entirely in Iowa territory. Coach Cowan instructed a kicking game in this half, and most of the gains were made on Hester's punts. When near the goal the boys would settle down and by a series of quick line rushes, in which Gump took a conspicuous part, go over the line for a touch down.
Of the ten downs six goals were kicked.
Hester and Outland each missed two and kicked three.

Foot-ball Condition.
The Athletic Association is in need of money and has been compelled this year to ask for contributions in order to meet running expenses. The conditions are as follows: At the opening of the school year the association was about one hundred dollars in debt, due to unusual and unexpected expense last year. Some money was taken in from membership fees at the time of the Athletic election, more was needed and subscription papers were started among the merchants and at the University and a moderate amount was pledged. This has, for the most part been collected, but the ordinary items of expense for the foot-ball season have more than exhausted this amount and the association is still in debt. The general feeling this year has been that the team should play no big games except the regular league games, thus avoiding the danger of crippling players and endangering our success in those games for which we really care. This is no doubt a wise policy yet it deprives the association of a good source of revenue. The games thus far have not netted one hundred dollars above expenses all told. Everything is thus made to depend on the financial success of the Thanksgiving day game in Kansas City. Then too, in the last five years base-ball, tennis, and track hathletics have never paid expenses, and foot-ball has thus been compelled to support all other athletic interests.
Is it not time for the students of the University to give something by subscription to the association. Within the last five years three
