Kansas City Was Scene of Games for 20 Years
Kansas-Missouri Contest on One Occasion Went to St. Joseph, Mo.
The Kansas-Missouri annual football game has become one of the greatest contests of the sport in America.
The site of the park has long been built up with factories and stores although at that time it was on the eastern edge of the city near Fifteenth and Prospect. The spectators, estimated at about 2,000, stood along the sidelines on the West side of the field. Carriages lined the other side.
These two rivals met for the first time 42 years ago and have played each year except one since that time. Few rivals in the history of American football have played such a long string of games. The series between Yale, Harvard, and Princeton in the East, and between Chicago, Wisconsin, and Illinois in the West are the only ones which compare with it in length.
In 1905 the tearing down of the old park led to another shift of the battle scene. This time Association Park at Twentieth and Olive streets was used. The game was again played there in 1906.
In 1902 the scene of the annual combat was shifted for the first time, to Sportsman's Park, which became the home of the contest for the next three spectators taxed the capacity of the stands and overfilled along the sidelines.
Football was on ya year old in each university when arrangements were made to play a game. This first meet- the 1913 Park in Kansas City on Oct. 31, 1891.
St. Joseph, Mo., was host to the teams in 1907.
The game was brought back to Association Park in Kansas City for 1908 and 1909. Gordon and Kopel field
was the scene of the last game in Kansas City in 1910.
For the first time, in 1911, the contest was played on the campus of one of the contests. Rollins field of Columbia was the site. Kansas was host in 1912, and from then on the site for the annual meeting was alternated until 1918 when America's football players were fighting more serious battles on other fields. When the series was resumed after the war in 1919 it was followed by the season of I. L. Knight. Nearly 12,000 watched the Tigers win from the Jayhawks in 1920. The Memorial stadium here was ready for the game of 1921, and the games continued to alternate between the two college campuses.
SOONER FOOTBALL TEAM
COMPLETES REST PERIOD
Norman, Okla., Nov. 28—Upon the Sooner football team's ability to recover its mid-season form during the present ten-day rest period, depends its chance to defeat Coach Lynn Waldorf's Oklahoma Aggies in the twenty-eighth joust here Thanksgiving day.

Vandals Damage Cherubs
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 28—(UP) Police are seeking vandals who mutilated several statues in local parks recently. The arms of a cherub at the James Pendergast statue were knocked off, and arrows were sawed from the quiver of "The Scout."
According to the law of gravity, the turkey will go down better after seeing the Kansas-Missouri game. 1 o'clock Thursday—Adv.
Grads Will Find Changes in Campus on Return for Homecoming Game
When the Homecomers return to the campus this year many strong sights will greet the eyes of those who remember the clingy ivine vines of old Snow hall, the laborious classes held in Dyce museum, the bare campus next to the fence of the old baseball diamond and the reverberating roll of the Rock Chalk resounding from the west side of the stadium when the Jawchawk cats Tiger.
This year things are different. Old Snow hall is naught but a hole in the ground, filled with the dirtiest of crumblded stone. Workmen have demolished all of the life that but a very few years ago went on in its dusky corridors. A wire fence, braced by rusty iron pipes will be the only greeting the Homecomers will have to recall pleasant or perhaps unpleasant memories of the sciences offered there. Never again will students be in classrooms on warm spring days and with the breeze blowing in the breeze, listen to the hundreds of sparrows in its mass of vines, or hear the rarely audible drift of what the professor is saying.
Dyche museum too, will be closed from their inspection. The architects have yet to see about putting new floors in it before it can again be occupied. It will be some time before the medics can again do their surgical work, some time before the paleontologists can mount their animals and place specimens in the cages, cases and cabinets of which there were miriads in times past.
others of great importance have occurred since the drift of Homecomers attended the last year's festivities. Many trees have been planted south of the old baseball diamond, including hop trees, hardwood maples, and other varieties. Some day the grove will extend northward and a new section will be added to the lover's lane of old. Well do some of the old grads remember the times they had strolling down the grassy glades of that dear old grove.
Not only these two major changes but
The biggest Homecoming ever staged in Lawrence. Begins Wednesday and ends after the game Thursday.-Adv.
