Jayhawkers Defeat 'All-Stars' 7 to 0 In Exhibition Game
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers defeated the "All-Stars" Saturday night by the score of 7 to 0.
The game ended the irregular spring practices for the Varsity. The "All-Stars" were made up of former squadmen at the University, several of whom were lettermen last year, and others who starred here in years past. The game was played under the lights at Haskell Stadium, sponsored by the KU Relays Club and promoted by the K Club.
The entire game was mostly a defensive struggle, the varsity never making a first down and the "All-Stars" losing almost as much as they made. The losers, although they had no great offense still knew how to play the game on defense as their line was almost impregnable. The Varsity was always able to stop their opponents when it became necessary and often tossed them for huge losses, doing so several times after a missed signal had sent the ball scooting back from center with no one catching it.
The only score of the game came in the second quarter when Williams of the Varsity sent a high punt into the wind. The ball was fumbled by an "All-Star" player and Don Stockdale, guard, fell on the ball across the goal line. Then Coach Shenk sent in his trust drop-kicker, Bill Chestnut, who calmly booted the ball straight between the goal posts, as he did last fall against Missouri to win that memorable game. That was the ball game, although no one knew it at the time.
Several times in the second half the "All-Stars" started to go but were always halted by an alert defense. The last quarter saw the ball from one end of the field to the other on kicks and the Varsity penetrated deep into their losers' territory once after recovering a fumbled punt, but were unable to go any further.
French Club to Hear Reports on Colonies
The present condition of the French colonies and the way in which they are now concerned with the war will be brought out by student reports at the next meeting of the French club, Miss Mattie Crumrine, sponsor, announced. La Carte Français will meet Thursday afternoon. May 4.
The talks will be illustrated by stamps from the various French colonies, taken from a collection of 200 stamped owners by Miss Crumrine.
Frances Morrill, vice-president of the club, will be in charge of the program.
All in all, the game was entertaining and gave the fans an idea of what the Jayhawkers will put on the gridiron next fall. The contest showed the Varsity's lack of practice due to the bad weather that has plagued them all spring. The blocking wasn't too good, but the tackling was hard and showed the line rushing fast.
The football schedule for next season will be another tough 10-game one with several new teams such as Texas Christian and Tulsa University being added; and the usual Big Six games, which should provide a good chance for the Jayhawkers to begin the climb back to football fame.
