POSSIBILITY OF UPSET LURES GRID FANS
STONY WALL'S LAST MINUTE KICK IN 1925 IS OUTSTANDING EVENT OF JAYHAWKER-TIGER RIVALRY
Greatest Surprise to Crowd Came, However, on Thanks giving 1923 When Weak Missouri Team Fought Through Blinding Snowstorm to Tie Undefeated Kansans, 3-3
Upets have been frequent in the Kansas-Missouri games of the past. Following are some of them:
1909 — Kansas 6, Missouri 12
The Kennedy-Moss combination was still on the job and brought to Kansas City another undefeated team for the 1909 game. Missouri had sent East and had obtained W. W. "Bill" Roper from Princeton to coach the Tigers. His team, too, had not tasted defeat.
The winner then of this annual battle would be crowned champion of the valley. Another ideal day brought a crowd of 15,000.
Missouri started with a rush and scored twice by the drop kick route Ted Hackney was the accurate Missouri kicker. Led by the great Tommy Johnson, Kansas came back to tie the score. Alexander, Black, Ristine and Hackney aided by the crushing Missouri attack drove over the first touchdown Missouri made against Kansas in many years. Most of the second half of the final lines. Three times the pressure Johnson carried back punts to the five yard line where a desperate defense held the Jayhawkers.
With their energy spent Kansas wilted, and in the closing minutes were busy holding off another Missouri score. The Tigers were champions of the valley for the first time and victorious over Kansas after seven years of defeat. Kansas City never before had seen such a celebration as the Missouri supporters staged after that game.
1911 — Kansas 3, Missouri 3
The game of 1911 saw more changes
For the first time the contest was played on the campus of one of the contestants, Rollin Field of Columbia was the site. Both schools had changed coaches, C. L. Brewer, director of athletics, was then serving his first year at Missouri, and Ralph Sherwin was at Kansas.
Missouri was on the defensive mosa of the first half, and held Kansas on the goal line at the close. Early in the second half Hall, Missouri halfback, broke away and eluded everyone but Helt, Kansas safety. A little later Amnons, ponderous Kansas fullback, crashed through the line and was apparently away for a touchdown, but he was stopped by Blese, Missouri quarter. In the third quarter Carl Denley kicked a goal for Kansas and it seemed that victory was assured. With less than four minutes remaining Missouri recovered a fumble and Jimmie Shuck, beloved Missouri captain, sent a beautiful drop kick across the bar to tie the score in as thrilling a game as the two schools had ever played.
drop kick for 50 yards was good. Kansas came right back and took the lead with a touchdown followed by Weidlines two place kicks. A desperate but futile last quarter rally was led by Captain Le Mire of Missouri. Another upset was registered.
1912 — Kansas 12, Missouri 3
The first game in Lawrence found the Tigers favored to win. The team of Monge and Frank had had indifferent success while Coach Brewer's boys had lost but once. Kansas was using the Minnesota shift which had been introduced by Leonard Frank, former Gopher player. The play worked to keep the Tigers pressed time after time for Coolidge and Detweller to make large gains.
Missouri scored four when Shawnee
1913 — Kansas 0, Missouri 3
When Kansas came to Columbia in 1913 Missouri had learned how to stop the Minnesota shift. With her favorite play failing, Kansas had to rely on a fine defense to hold off a determined Missouri attack. Most of the game was played in Kansas territory, but the Jayhawks stiffened and threw back the Tigers whenever a score threatened.
The Kansas line with Weildine, Reber, and James could not be punctured when yards made it scored. In the second quarter, McWilliams Missouri quarter, sent a drop-kick across the bar for the only points made. Later Dunckle, Moore and Shepardushed through the Kansas team, but to no avail.

JAYHAWKS WHO MAY
1916 — Kansas 0, Missouri 13
Another upset was registered when Shulte took his team to Kansas in 1916. Although Missouri was in the running for the championship, Kansas was considered to have the better chance for victory. The game was almost a reproduction of the one of two years previous. Kansas started fast but failed to score. Missouri played a line-chargeing game for short gains and scored two touchdowns. Captain Harry Lasing kicked the last point after touchdown. The longest run of the game was a 45 yard return of a punt by Stanlowskis, Missouri quarter. Ad Lindsey, Fast and Woodward were the Kansas stars.
1923 — Kansas 3, Missouri 3
No worse weather conditions ever faced two teams than those who met in Lawrence on Thanksgiving day in 1923. A blinding snow storm raged throughout the game and obliterated the field markings. Kansas again ruled the favorite due to a fine season in which there had been no defeats. The team was eliminated from the game was the first time Kansas had been at the top since the over-victorious season of 1908.

Gwinn Henry was coaching his first year at Missouri. His team had been hard to beat but had lost three games. The Kansas captain, Charlie Bluek, opened the scoring with a drop-kick from the 20-yard line. Missouri tied the score. But then he failed another chance came and Walsh tied the score. From then on the belittled Tigers did everything to Kansas except score.

1925 — Kansas 10, Missouri 7
The story of the 1925 game at Lawrence reads like a plot for a motion picture. Missouri was chesty after a season of repeated success. Kansas had lost most of the important games and had been badly handicapped by injuries. A stiff wind was blowing from the north and each side took this

Seasons Have Developed Many Football Changes
Alterations Made in Rules and Ways of Scoring Since 1876
Changes in football rules since 1876 have been numerous. The American Intercollegiate football association was first created in 1876, and in that year Yale won the first football championship by defeating Harvard, Columbia and Princeton, with E. V. Baker as Yale captain.
Football first started in Kansas in 1892 with Dr. E. M. Hopkins, professor of English, as the coach.
In 1877 fifteen players constituted a team. Nine men in rush line, one quarterback, two halfbacks, one three-quarterback and two fullbacks. In 1881 a rule was put into effect which ruled that in case of a tie, two additional periods of fifteen minutes each were to be played.
In 1882: "If on three consecutive downs a team has not advanced the ball 5 yards or lost 10 yards, it must give up the ball to the other side at least once." It was at the close of this year that the team was cut down to eleven men.
In 1884, scoring was standardized as follows: safeties 1 point, touchdowns 2 points, goal from touchdown 4 points, goal from field 5 points. Numerical scoring rules were amended after the 1884 season to make a touchdown 4 points, a safety 2 points and a goal from touchdown 2 points.
In 1894 it was decided that the playing time of the game was to be reduced from 90 minutes to 70 minutes an hour. The game was to be divided into two halves.
In 1897 scoring plays changed as follows: touchdown 6 points, goal from touchdown 1 point, goal from field 5 points, safety 2 points. In 1904 the value of the field goal was reduced to 4 points.
In 1906 the forward pass was intro- (Continued on page 3)
