SCENE FROM "LITTLE BOY BLUE" Bowersock Theatre, Wednesday, November 26
MISSOURI WINS FIFTH GAME FROM KANSAS
(Continued from page 1)
for short gains, it seemed sure that the Jayhawkers would score before the game had lived long. But the Tigers strengthened and the score failed to materialize. Missouri kicked off, recovered her own kick, and after a brief attempt at gaining through the Kansas line, set back by penalties, was forced toick. Shepard booted the warrior to yard standings on Kane's 20 yard line. Sweeped in yards through center. With "third and seven to" against the Jayhawkers, Bunny tucked the pigskin under his arm, and departed for a pretty 20 yard run into Tiger territory.
Wilson Makes Great Punt
Here the Tigers held. Kansas was forced to kick. After making one first down, Shearp returned the punt, and Wilson hit left his own foot through his fingers, his only fumble of the game. He recovered for a 10 yard loss. Kansas hit left tackle but was thrown back for three yards. Wilson dropped back almost to his goal line, and shot out the prettiest punt of the first half, a long spiral that dropped into Shearp's arms on his own 40-yard line, 50 yards down the field. Shep kicked back, Kansas received her own 35 yard drive. Successive plunger hits, Tudor and Mar-Venue, Kansas her first down. So it went, till finally on a last exchange of punts Kansas was left in possession of the ball, just over the line in Missouri territory.
The Tigers came back strong in the second quarter, the period which has been the most disastrous to Jayhawker hopes all year. A lucky kick by Shepard started the work. Dropping back and hitting the pigskin down to the Jayhawkers 20-yard line where it struck just in front of Wilson, eluded his grasp and bounded over the goal line for a Kansas touchback.
The Beginning of the Bayhawkers put the ball in play from the field 20-yard by this fluke 65-yard kick of the Tiger halfback had turned the tide of the game strongly in Missouri's favor. After gaining 15 yards on a Missouri penalty, Kansas was not able to gain through the Tiger line, and was forced to kick. Strothers sent the ball over to Missouri's 40 yard line, and here the great Tiger rush started. Shepard made 5 around he left the next play, and came pucky half seize, nankin and carried is over the Kansas line for a first down. Moore made 1, but Kansas was penalized 15 yards on the play, and the ball was Missouri's, 25 yards from the Bayhawk goal. McWilliams made 5, Moore b.
The Tigers had the ball on their opponents' 15-yard line. Moore failed to gain a yard. Shepard burrowed into the line with the same result. A
third try at the same spot was made by Captain Wilson, but Kansas was invulnerable.
There was but one thing to do, kick, and McWilliams was chosen by the Tiger coaches to perform the duty. Dropping back to his 20-yard line, he slowly scraped his shoes. The Jayhawker stands fidgeted in impatience. Moore stretched himself flat on the ground, buried his face in a half inch of water, and placed the ball on the Three quarter side, so slowly, McWilliams met the ball squarely on the point of his toe, and sailed it between the Orange and Black crossbars for the only score of the rame.
The rest of the quarter was uneventful. Kansas got possession of the ball on a lucky fumble by Shepard in the middle of the field, and started to attack the Tiger goal. But the Jayhawkers were penalized 15 yards for holding. Strothers was forced to kick out of danger.
Tigers Came Back Clean
Missouri appeared in clean suits at the beginning of the third quarter, and played as though they were just starting to punt left Kansas in possession of the ball on her 10 yard line, the Jayawkers losing 10 yards on a penalty. Wilson kicked to Shepard on Kansas 40-yard line, and on the first play, Moore raced 25 yards around left end, advancing the ball to within 15 yards of the Kansas goal. "We got the Tiger rooters went crazy, a touchdown seemed sure. Moore was given the ball, and gained three yards through the Kansas defense. Shepard hit the center of the line, but failed to gain. McWilliams carried the ball out to the center of the field, directly in front of the goal posts. But the little quarter outgrew them all. Dunckel was summoned from the game to take Wilson's place. McWilliams dropped back as if for a place kick. Dunckel walked back to hold the ball.
And then the unexpected happened. Gallagher flipped the ball, the pigskin sailing back in a long pretty arc. Dunkel took it, but instead of pinning it to the ground, tucked it under his arms, and ran back two yards. Three Tiger men stood over the Kansas goal line with hands upraised, signalling for the ball. Dunkel appeared waiting to make a perfect chance. Two Jayhawker linemen charged him. Not hurrying the least, with the big Kansans in front of him, the cool Tiger athlete sent the ball in a pretty executed fling, straight into the arms of Speelman, the Tiger end, Missouri went crazy, simply crazy. The stands trembled under the weight of the a "loftive" mungled with a "Fair Missouri" swept across the field; and from every house-top in the vicinity came yells of triumph.
But suddenly the crowd caught its breath. The referee, instead of directing the ball to be kicked out from touchdown, stopped and went 20 yard line. There he gave it to Kansas and ordered them to attack the Missouri goal. Speel-
isan had been more than 10 yards behind the Kansas line when he caught a pass. The pass was to Missouri's touchdown had been declared illegal.
Wieldin' the Kick Fails.
The Jayhawkers started the ball down the field, and before the Tigers had recovered from their hard luck, they found it on their own 30-yard line, Kansas having advanced it there by many minutes of recovered punts and Missouri penalties. But the Jayhawkers were able to gain no longer through the Tiger line. With third down and eight to go, Wieldin dropped back to the 40-yard line, and shot a pretty place kick at the Tiger goal. It looked as if it went over, and the Jayhawker roots correspondingly enthushed, but the kick was declared "no goal" by the officials. It passed 2 feet under the Tiger crossbar.
The fourth quarter was a hard one, a heart-breaking one. One minute Kansas would be in possession of the ball, the next, Missouri. One second Kansas would be well in Tiger territory attacking Missouri's goal, the next, Wilson's men would have the ball, carring it towards the Jayhawk goal. With Missouri in possession of the ball on their opponents' 45-yard line, at the beginning of the final session, the Tigers rapidly carried it toward the Jayhawk crossbars.
They Prayed for K
Shepard and Wiggins hit the line for two 5-yard shots, and a first down. Dunkel grab a forward pass but Kansas scored it and took over the ball. Strothers kissed to Missouri's 45-yard line. On the first down after the kick, Reber pouced on the ball after a Tiger fumble. A forward pass, Wilson gained 20 yards. On the next down Kansas was penalized 15 yards. Moore intercepted a forward pass, and the Tigers took the ball. And once again the Jayhawker rooters prayed. For on the second down after the pass had been intercepted, Moore slid 40 yards around the left side of the line. He was finally tackled by Wilson in the Kansas 35-yard in quick succession, and Moore allowed with another 10 yard advance. Missouri had the ball, 15 yards from Kansas goal. Thatch the Tiger forward pass, was summoned into service. But he was off form. One attempt went wild, the second time he was caught with the ball in his arms and the Jayhawker roters were relieved. For it was fourth down.
WEDNESDAY
Kansas won an exchange of kicks, worked the ball into Tiger ground. Jayhawker punts were recovered by Jayhawker athletes, Missouri fumbled once at a critical instant, and with two minutes to play Kansas stood with the ball on the Tiger's 25-yard line. One run was attempted, and it was disastrous. A lineman held on the play, and the Jayhawkers were carried back to Missouri's 40-yard line. Weidlein left back for a kick. He meant either a tie or a cap. The Jayhawker captain took his time. It was the last play of the game. He sent the ball straight at the Tiger goal posts. The kick fell 5 yards short. Kansas was defeated.
Various reasons have been assigned as the cause of the Kansas defeat. The Tigers were the better mudders; they had the better team. But no one who knew them will know the worth of the Kansas team. How they fought, when a Tiger score seemed sure, is history. How the rooters stood by the team in the face of defeat is history. How Mose and Frank took the loss of this, the big game of season, by passing the teams beverger in the Missouri Valley than Kansas—but there are gamer fighters.
