THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"On The Iowa Invasion"
By Joe Turner
When the squat got into the Union Station at Kansas City Thursday night, they met the Missouri team in the lobby. The Tigers were on their way to take that beating at the Cowboy Alumni were down to meet the Columbia aggregation, and there ensued immediately a conflict of "Rock Chalk" and "Old Missouri". The Kansas crowd was looking for the cowboy, who evidently Missouri wasn't so coey after their stumble at Manhattan.
The Kansas team and its few followers threw a sort of pre-victory party at the Sheldon-Mumm hotel in Ames Friday night. At dinner some guests had to step on his floor proceeded to have his noisy little flight for almost an hour.
Right there Trainer "Doc" Bailey displayed a little wit we never suspected him of. One of the waitresses asked the Doc if it was some kind of scary thing, but the sound got to singing, "No," Doc told her, "It's just a Varsity."
"Father Time" Nettles, last year's football captain rumbled into Ames Saturday morning and added one of the top ranks of the "Thunder Few."
"So they gave me a pillow, and I slept in the aisle," is the way most of the Jayhawk rooters explain their presence in the Iowa town.
Somebody started the cage idea soon after the squad hit Des Moines, and by Saturday morning every Jayhawk had one. After the game there was much carving of notcher on the handles of the sticks.
E. C. "Brick" Brickens got an awful blow on the Ames trip. "Brick" has always figured that he just about had the medal on getting a high price for cats, and when the hotel at play would play games with plaid for the last meal we ate there "Brick" had to be carried out into the air.
Now to get out to the battle grounds. The pep organization at the Iowa school is known as the "Sibens." They have no complete uniform, but all wear little gold and "raah rah" caps. They number about 300, and do the Ames school. They were right noisy for a while Saturday, but—well, we've got some more to say about that outfit later.
The Ames team came on the field first, tw_o₁ crimson-jerseyed team running signals up and down the field several times before the "Blue Devils" appeared. The Kansas squad took very little time to warm up before Referee Reid started the battle.
The Ames band started the fire works with a parade around the field and a concert before the only see of bleachers. Ames has compulsory military training, and their sion is uniformed "a la militaire" but we failed to see where they presented a more snappy appearance, or put out a better brand of music than our own "Macs" organization
Captain "Pete" lost the toss for the first time this season, and Ames kicked off. "Andy" McDonald took the short boot and returned it the yards before he was downed, and the battle was on.
Just how that one and only Omaha counter happened so fast is still a little hasty in our minds yet. It was just a rather natural result of two Kansas fumbles, some nice line smashing on the part of the Iowa team, and then a bit aggressively driving by a Crimson Gold end back of the Jawhawk gold. Riggs was the man who received the flip.
Here's a little private opinion. That easy touchdown in the first few minutes of play did a whole lot toward defeating Ames. The Iowa team had the edge according to "dope," and they knew it. That easy counter didn't go very far toward shattering their good opinion of themselves, and such an opinion is a bad thing for a football team to be nursing in the first quarter of any kind of a game.
The game continued to look dark for a few minutes after the Ames touchdown, but the sun came out when the Jayhawk began to stretch into a long line of sticks that started playing right lively like just as the first quarter ended.
Kansas just wasn't missing those passes in the second quarter. Both "Mae" and "Andy" pulled long ones from air from among a mosh of opposition.
It took Kansas three downs to push the ball over the Ames goal after he had been put on the 5-yard line
by a series of passes. Figure out how long it takes to play three ordinary line bucks and you'll know just how long we hold our breath then.
It was the first time in the season that the Jayhawk eleven had packed a ball across on opponents goal line and was the only team joyous sight for the Kansas rooters.
This sounds like some "I told you so" stuff, but we knew and were spreading it in the press box that first Jayhawk counter went across.
The Ames band and the "Sirens" staged a nice snake-dance between halves. The "Sirens" had a lot of pep then, but—well, wait.
The Ames team swing into a terrible smashing attack in the third quarter, and right there is where the Kansas line and secondary defense showed the stuff that made every Jayhawk at the game take off his hat to them. It was battle, battle, battle, with every foot of ground fought for as though it was the last. And the ball hit back, the ball almost all of this period, they were never able to really threaten the Crimson and Blue goal line.
McAads and Young engaged in a pretty punting duel in the third quarter. Young is playing his first year on the Iowa team, and he's the coolest article in the way of a first-year booster that you'll see in much travelling. He and "Mac" broke about fifty-fifty on their averages, but "Mac" had one blocked that drew his down a trifle.
McAdams got knocked for a "goal" in the middle of the third period and "Pets?" started Griffin to warming up on the sidelines. But "Mac" snapped out of it, and stayed with the game. Then on the next play some lowan chucked a boot into Clyde Freese and "Day" Davidson was called in for the second Kansas substitution.
Right here allow us to give a hand to this boy Freese. The Ames contest was Clyde's first football game for Kansas and this is only the big boy's second year at the game in any capacity but he held his place in a line that was just seven stars from start to finish.
We almost forgot. The cross-country meet finished between halves. Lucas had a nice finish with Shanner for 8th place, Shanner nosing him out by a yard in a stirring sprint in front of the bleachers. While the jayhawk took a beating in the meet, their showing was one to be proud of and an indication that the team is undoubtedly the class of the Valley and ranks very close to the top of the list in the whole country.
A word about that on-side kick that netted Kansas a little more than thirty yards in the third quarter, "Mac" kicked it, and "Prexy," the only eligible man, pulled it down on its first bounce from among a perfect screen of ineligible Jayhawks. The play seemed to have the Iowa team guessing, and certainly went over the heads of the crowd.
The winning Kansas offensive started early in the last period, and three successful passes mingled with a few nice gains was the way the counter happened. Spurgeon to Black, across the line, on a fake delayed pass, was the final act of the little play.
Ames opened up with a perfect volley of passes in the last part of the fourth quarter, and fired seven substitutions in an attempt to pull the game out of the fire. They managed to complete four of the eleven passes they attempted in this onset but "Grif" plucked one of their flings out of the air on the Kansas thirty yard line and the Jayhawk team was knocked out only stopped by the final whistle. Kansas had just reached the Ames 11-yard line, and had first-and十 when, head-lineman Thomas decided that according to his time piece the thing had gone far enough, and sent a disappointed crowd and two tired teams off the field.
Just one more light on the game. In the fourth quarter, during that furry of Ames passes, one of the toesess went directly into "Pete" Reedy's hands. Pete had it, and then he didn't, doing a jugging act for several seconds, and with a clear field in front of him. Finally the toesess broke out onto the ground. What Pete said with to have bereserved for a certain weekly publication that breaks out in Kansas City.
Here are some figures on the game. In the first quarter Kanaas made 2 first shots, to Ames' 2, but only 27 yards from scrimmage as the Titans took over Iowa队. However, in the second period, the Jawahreh made 5
first downs to Iowa's none, and covered 33 yards by scrimmage while Ames was doing 9. This was Kansas' big period. The other two were about even on downs and yards gained by scrimmage, but Kansas had the edge by passes. Totals for the game show that each team completed 123 yards. Both teams scored 123 yards as compared to Ames' 84 through the air. Ames attempted 18 passes, while the Jayhawk tried only 13.
Now about those "Sirens" that are supposed to do the Ames' rooting. For the first time in our lives we realized what it really is to have a body of rooters "lay down." In the fourth quarter, after the second Kansas team, not only was the Ames team very apparently beaten but so was the Ames crowd. One loyal unoccupied Jayhawk who was in the press box on the Ames side with the man in the whole three hundred "Sirens" also had a crowd of whipped dogs. These may be harsh words, but it was a harsh thing to watch a hard, clean fighting team that the Ames aggregation was, deserted and even "razzed" by their own student body.
The Kansas squad left Ames immediately after the game. It was while we were in a *Des Moines restaurant that we got the news of the Aggie victory over the Missouri Tiger, and we raised the roof and put a few blocks under it for a minute that we love the Aggies, but a Tiger is anything anybody's is a nice thing for the Jayhawk to contemplate.
Here's something we promised wd' tell. We might as well, as the "Doc" will tell it if we don't. We mingled into a penny game on the intertidan that brought the boat in the course of the bloody encounter talked Dae Baller out of a whole dime. Notice we prefer the term "talked" to the one that Doc insists on applying, which is "crooked." The last time we saw the Doctor he was still coming for dime.
The squad, the "Thunderning Few" and all the rest of us came down to Kansas City in a one pulman Saturday night. It was a nice happy family, and the porter insister that when the conductor went through there were as many men hiding under the bunks as there were in them. He was wrong, however. We counted, and there were two more.
This is the last. As we pulled out of Des Moines we heard this howl from the other end of the pullman: "There ain't no bath tub on this train and it's Saturday night." We rushed to the scene of the disturbance, and managed to fasten the "crack" on either Petee Reedy or Doc Bailey. Oh, they'll both deny it of course.

AMES WINS THE DUAL MEET
Kansas Showed Up Well But Was Outclassed
Kansas dropped by the way Saturday in the dual cross country race with Iowa State College.
Rathburn, of Iowa State, finished fifth with a good lead over Patterson, of Kansas, who was second. Webb and Frevert, of Ames, came in together for the third and fourth nonors. The winner's time for the five mile course was 26:31. Ike Massey finished fifth. The score of the meet was: Ames 21, Kansai 34. According to those who saw the game well when it is considered that the Ames team is the class of the Valley and Big Ten. In previous years the Ames team has gotten away easier than they did Saturday, and this seems to indicate that Kansas stands a fair chance to break into the big league class this year in the distances.
