TUMBLE BY SENIOR LAWS

As far back we learn, most of the boys are carrying their sticks, not from a standpoint of loyalty, but because it adds dignity to the appearance of the bearer."

College of Emporia Makes Jayhawker Eleven Scrap to Score 7 to 0
K. U. PLAYS A KICKING GAME
"Keep Opponents From Scoring and Your Own Score Will Take Care of Itself." Wheaton
Wayne Granger brought a light squad of football players from the College of Emporia, Saturday afternoon, and turned them loose on the Jayhawk eleven with an array of open plays which completely dazzled the Kansans. Kansas won the game 7 to 0 but Emporia gave Wheaton's men a race for their money. Emporia relied entirely upon open football while K. U. played a kicking game. The kicking game ended but had to go hard to get the desired result. Emporia outgained Kansas made more passes and completed passes. Kansas could do little against the pass and the Jayhawkers seemed heipless before their opponent's open attack. But the Kansas backs finally broke up Emporia's consistent defence and when Gray went across the line for a touchdown, in the last quarter the crowd made as much over it as they would in a bigger game.
Kansas Kicked Off
There were no preliminaries. Strother kicked off to Emporia. The first play was an unsuccessful forward pass. Emporia then started down the field. One pass netted twenty yards, but Kansas blocked the next two and forced Hinshaw to kick. Lindsey kicked back and once more Emporia resumed their attack. Passing and scooting around the Kansas ends Emporia brought the ball near the Kansas goal, so near the rooters began to plead for the Jayhawker line to hold.
The line held, Lindsey kicked to the middle of the field and the rooters rested in comfort. Emporia came back with its deadly pass but could not pierce the Jayhawk's forwards for the touchdown.
Second Quarter Like First
The second quarter was another chapter of the same story. Emporia carried the ball all the time. Kansas did not gain an inch in this period. Russel tried three drop kicks and Strother one. All were wild except one of Russell's boots which hit a goal standard.
In the third period, Emporia continued its open game, passing from one side to the other always keeping Kansas guessing and scaring the fifteen hundred who had come to see a slaughter.
Up and down the Presbyterians came, with their clever passing. The steady Kansas line was K, U's only salvation. When the pass failed, Quarterback Jimmy Russel broke through but without success as the team linesmen piled up at the light backs without gain and with loss.
K. U. Scores in Last Quarter
K. U. Scores in Last
In the last quarter, an exchange of pants brought an Emporia territory. Food replaced Russell at quarter. He responded with several long tuns and then directed a play the goal line. Gray made the touchdown and Lindsey kicked goal. Kansas opened up with two passes in the last five minutes of play. One was smeared and the other intercepted by Wiedower who almost got away for a touchdown.
Wheaton is Satisfied
Wheeler is that the Game was a surprise for Kansas but it was good practice. Emporia had the open game well in hand.

POLKA ARRIVES ON SCENE-- "GOOD NIGHT, LAME DUCK"
"Along with the revival of old fashioned dresses comes the revival of old fashioned dances," declares Dr. Alice Goetz, head of the women's physical training department.
"The polka is one of the newest of the old dances for this season, and, as it is as easy as it is pretty, it will probably enjoy great popularity, she continued." "Personally I prove of the need to do not mean the lame duck, the bunny hug, or any atrocties like them. Such dances had no excuse for existing since there was no grace or beauty about them. They
deserve the oblivion into which they have fallen.
"The maxie, on the contrary, is beautiful when danced properly, and has absolutely nothing vulgar or sexual about it. A new dance, which is taking the place of the tango to a great extent in the East, is the furano, a modification of the Italian gondolier dance. In this the partners stand side by side as in the schotitish. In fact any dance which has in it the joy and rhythm of motion is a good dance, and should be enjoyed by everyone."
