TEAMS BATTLE TO TIE IN STIRRING CONTEST
Jayhawkers and Sooners Score Sixteen Each While Thouands Are Kept on Edge
With two teams fighting desperately to win and three thousand spectators on their feet most of the time, Saturday's football battle between Kansas and Oklahoma marks one of the most brilliant and sensational games of Missouri Valley sport history.
The game won and lost by the fast euven from the Sooner state, lost and won by the heavy Jayhawkers finally ended in the almost impossible tie score, 16 to 16. The contest was full of sensational long runs, spectacular forward passes, and unexpected results. Not until the last whistle could it be known that the game would result in a draw, nor could it be known whether Jayhawker or Sooner would make another brilliant play and turn the score in favor of the one or the other.
Determined to crush the heavy Jayhawkers, Bennie Owen brought a team of wiy Sooners, coached to the minute on open football and full of the fighting spirit which is characteristic of Oklahoma teams. Equally determined to beat Oklahoma and avenge former defeats Jack Wheaton sent out a heavy team of fighting Jayhawkers coached on straight football and drilled specifically on defensive tactics. When the two teams got involved they gave a wonderful exhibition of football. Our bwilderowed Kansas with its fouled passing and Kansas broke through Oklahoma by line plunging and excellent interference. Both teams exciled in their specialty and the tie result indicated the caliber of the two teams.
Strength vs. Speed
The game was full of features, the first of which started in the first quarter. After Kansas had baffled the Sooners for seven minutes, full-back Geyer dropped back to punt from behind his goal line. Bell passed the ball over his head and before the amazed spectators could realize what had happened Bonnie Reber, the Kansas end, had pinned Geyer to the ground and Kansas had scored a safety.
Sooners Take the Lead
The slight advantage did not last long for Kansas had not seen the dreaded forward pass in the hands of Capsaw and Geyer. Fighting at the west end of the field, the Oklahoma line suddenly opened and Geyer sailed the ball to Johnson who ran fifty yards. Fifteen yards from Kansas' goal, the Sooners began to strike for a touchdown. The big mass of rooters shouted to the struggling Jayhawkers; he could they not stop the plunges and Capsaw, Oklahoma's star halfback carried the ball over and then kicked him. The sudden change in the scoring filled the three thousand scores with fear lest Kansas should not overcome the lead. They were so excited they forgot to tos a freshman in a blanket between halves and more than one capless wearing escaped punishment.
As the game progressed the interest increased. The third quarter was a dual between Wood and Geyer, the two punters. The Kansasans fought desperately but Oklahoma held them at bay in this period. Oklahoma forced Kansas to the Jayhawk goal and Wood dropped back to punt. As he started to kick, he fumbled and Geyer scored. Oklahoma a seven point lead and the Kansas roots increased their pleadings.
Coleman Makes a Touchdown
With the score 9 to 2, Kansas opened up the last quarter by a series of shifts and Herb Coleman dashed fifteen yards through the line for a touchdown. The score was tied until Coleman was necessary to save the game. The crowd remained standing when Wood kicked out to Coolidge. The sun was directly in the eyes of the north bleacheres and they shaded their eyes as Stromount prepared to kick. A quick movement left, cleared the bar, tinge the score.
Gray's Spectacular Run
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMB ER 2, 1914
tackle. Gray made the touchdown after the seventy-five yard run and Strothers kicked goal.
With defeat staring the Sooners in the face and only five minutes to play, they opened a desperate attack of forward passes. Three long flips put them near the goal and Johnson caught a pass for a touchdown. It was a whirlwind finish to a whirlwind game and Capsnaw's goal after a kick-out crushed the Kansan's hope for victory.
The game was not lacking in individual playing. Capshaw and Geyer were the big stars on the Sooner team. Capshaw's open running and Geyer's passing saved Oklahom from defeat. For Kansas, Gray was easily the hardest player against the entire Kansas line deserves credit, Bonnie Reber, Andy Groft, and Keeling made several pretty open tackles. Wood handled the quarterback position like a veteran. He punted well, carried the ball and made several timely tackles. The Kansas team met emergencies in strong struts that faced a team which seemed their equal in every line and it is to Kansas' credit that the Sooners did not win.
The figures give the. Sooners the edge, forward passes netting 287 yards. Oklahoma made 19 first downs while K. U. got but 9.

MILL TAX GETS ANOTHER
SUPPORTING CANDIDATE
The mill tax got another supporter today when Albert C. Walters, democratic candidate for state representative from the 11th district, declared himself for the amendment. Mr. Walters said, "I think that the support of the state educational institutions should be taken out of politics, or into permanent schools. The schools cannot make plans for education when they cannot know the amount of money they will have to work with."
CAPPER REITERATES STAND
