THE GREAT GAME IN NIXTY ONE
The footfall of football marching back to town again
It finds me and minds me of games of other days
Of old games and bold games o "tackle" rush and down again
Kayouga played Missouga, Oh,
that's the game to talk about.
Hugging men and sluggling men in forty different ways.
Kayouga played Missouga, it was back in Nixty-one
Both age and youth-in very truth all people that could walk about
Thronging came to see the game and help along the fun.
The presidents and residents, Professors and the Tutors come
Psychology, biology, zoology arts the hooters and the rooters and the fifers and the fluters came
Ten hundred voices thundered forth the hope within their hearts.
Kayouga held Missouga once _ until they had to ount the ball
A sailing high along the sky it fled to distant lands.
Kayougans then, like circus men rose three ranks high to hunt the ball.
The highest was the sprest and he caught it in his hands.
The rushing line came rushing fine to down the three a standing there
They grappled tight to left and right of him upon the ground.
No fumbling now but tumbling now,a summersault and landing fair.
They came down fine within the line and raced across the ground.
Missouganis then got up again, and wildly chased the floating man
Each smote the one ahead of him and sent him like a shot
Into the fire, it seemed, the flier had leaped from out the frying pan,
For like a stone by giants thrown they downed him on the spot
They haggled and they dragged till the lookers on were wild
Then south and north and back and forth a raging like an elephant.
The chancellors were casting slurs they bandied many a fell af front
They muttered and they stuttered in a manner far from mild.
As few yards as two yards were twist him and the goal
But through it all the man and bath were being slowly hammered back
"We'll win it in a murder," said Miss souga and they stammered back
"Seven seconds yet to play. we'll play with heart and soul."
Another rush, another crush, the heroes push and roll again
When bang! the ball exploded in a burst of smoke and flame.
They saw him fly along the sky, and cross 'Missouga's goa again
The player with the pig skin so Ka youga won the game.
The presidents, the residents, professor and the tutors velled
Psychologists,biologists,zoologists and all;
The band played,the stand swayed and all the happy rooters yelled.
Ten hundred voices thundered forth one cheerful fearful bawl.
Nowthe football of football march, ing back to town again
It thrills me and fills me with mem ories of the day,
Kayouga played Missouga and they tore her colors down, again
Andgai eda bund ed ɛrd-əm m

OLD MEN TO RETURN.
Chicago Probably in Schedule - Most of This Year's Football Regulars to Return.
The victorious football season just past causes a feeling of exultation in the success of the crimson and the blue. The management and students now look forward to the season of 1905. The question most often asked is, "What will next year's team do?"
Hicks has played four years and will graduate together with Michaelson and Ackerman. Their loss, although great, has been expected and about twenty five men will try for their places. Pooler, Brunner, Royer, Donald, Myers, Ise, McCoy, Fleishmann. Rouse, McCarty, Russell and Davies will probably return next fall. Livingston is probably the man who will take the place of Hicks. Davies looks capable of taking Ackerman's place at tackle. Milton has been substitute center this year. A very fast set of backs can be developed from what material is at hand, and as there are plenty of heavy men who are trying for a place on the team a strong line is certain.
When every opposing team is broken up and handicapped by the new rules, Kansas University has besides this year's team, trained men in every class who are capable of playing in the 'varsity team next year. The freshman team developed many fine players who will be able to make the team. The management is now corresponding with Chicago in order to schedule a game. Chicago will play a Missouri Valley team and Kansas will probably be chosen for the schedule.
Iowa writes favorably and the Athletic Board,it is hoped will arrange for a game with Nebraska it it so wishes.
The prospects for next year's team could hardly be better and the schedule will enable the team to show what Kansas brain and brawn can accomplish against some of the "Big Nine" elevens as it is probable that Iowa, Illinois and Chicago will be scheduled.
