A GOOD GAME
SOONERS FOUGHT AGAINST SUPERIOR WEIGHT.
The Jayhawkers defeated Bennie Owen's pupils decisively this afternoon in the hardest fought game of the season by a score of 20 to 4. The Sooners were light, but their team work was faster than ours, and they made gains all through the right side of the line.
The game opened with more snap and determination than has been seen on McCook this season. Heavy line plunging with mass plays was a characteristic of the game. Kansas had a distinct advantage over the Sooners in this respect and while the ball was in their possession K.U.made steady gains. Despite this several errors on the Kansas side, and punting kept the ball changing sides frequently.
Many Brilliant Individual Plays Acton Was the Star for Oklahoma.
The Oklahomans put up a much stronger game than last year and at critical times showed their ability to hold the Jayhawkers. Angney played a great game at quarterback and made numerous gains and several tackles. Forter made several brilliant punts, one of 65 yards. Cohn and Crowell played an excellent game. White carried the ball a number of times for good gains. Acton for Oklahoma played the star game. Hughes kicked a pretty 35 yard field goal a minute before the first half closed.
Detailed play: Hughes kicked 35 yards to White who returned 10. Miller and White made 5 yards, Forter punted out of bounds and Oklahoma lost ball on a fumble. Donald made 6 yards, Forter made 4, Putnam 8 Reed 4; Cohn recovered ball on a quarterback kick on Oklahoma 45 yard line. Cohn made 4 yards. Cohn failed at place kick from the 35 yard line.
Oklahoma kicked to the 45 yard line, and Forter punted 45 yards and out of bounds. Hughes made 25 yards on second down. Kansas carried the ball to the two yard line. Waggoner blocked an attempt at place kick. Hughes made 20 yards. Oklahoma made 25 yards on a quarterback kick, but lost ball to Angney on Kansas 35 yard line. Forter made a punt for 30 yard gain. Oklahoma made 20 yards on a quarterback kick and Acton made 25 yards. Cohn got ball on Kansas 30 yard line. Cohn recovered quarterback kick, and Forter punted 60 yards to Oklahoma's 10 yard line. Acton made 9 yards. Angney returned punt 20 yards to Oklahoma's 30 yard line. Donald and Brunner made 7 yards,
White 10 yards and Oklahoma was penalized 5 yards for off side. Oklahoma held nobly but Donald went over on the third down. Failed at goal.
Cohn returned kickoff 25 yds., Forter punted 45 yards, Acton made 20 yards for Oklahoma; Hughes and Price made 7 yards. Wallace went in at left half. Cohn went in at end. Forter punted 30 yards and Wallace made a brilliant recovery. Cohn and Crowell made gallant gains which carried the ball to the 4 yard line. Donald went over for the second touchdown. Milton kicked goal.
Hughes kicked off 52 yards to White who returned 20. A long punting match left the ball on the K. U.30 yard line. Oklahoma lost 5 yards, and Hughes made a place kick goal from 35 yard line.
Angney wrenched his knee near the end of first half and in the second half Coulter went in at quarterback; Miller went in at right half. Irving went in at right end and Hughes at quarterback for Sooners. Coulter, Reed, Milton and Miller played fiercely, and Donald carried the ball over in about 5 minutes.
Oklahoma was game to the finish and held the Jayhawkers for gains on their 1 yard line, about middle of the half. The last score was made on a place kick by Cohn from the Oklahoma's 20 yard line.

PREHISTORICMAN
WAS IN KANSAS 20,000 YEARS
---
AGO.
Mammoth Buffalo in Museum Furnishes Proof--Fossil Remains Found in Logan County.
The prehistoric buffalo was found in Logan county in the summer of 1895, by a collecting expedition under the direction of Mr. Martin. The bones were carefully collected, packed in boxes and shipped to the University here where they have remained practically untouched until last January, when Mr. Martin began the reconstruction of the skelton. It was a tremendous task rebuilding the skeleton from the heap of bones Mr. Martin had at his disposal but he persevered in the work and last week had the honor of completing the reconstruction of the first fossil remains of a prehistoric buffalo in the world. The only other known remains of this species in the world is a fragmentary skull, found in Alaska, but now in the national museum at Washington.
Mr. H. T. Martin of the paleontology department of the University of Kansas has just completed the reconstruction of the fossil remains of a prehistoric buffalo, which he claims on authority to be at least 20,000 years old. What makes the remains of the buffalo far more interesting, however, was the fact that an Indian arrow head was found stricking in the right shoulder blade of the skeleton. This points very strongly to the existence of man in Kansas at least 20,000 years ago, for there is no other way to explain the presence of the arrow head, associated with the buffalo remains.
Aside from the light it throws upon prehistoric man in Kansas, the buffalo is one of the most valuable specimens in the Kansas University collection and is worth at the lowest estimate several thousand dollars. Side by side with the largest buffalo in the University collection, this bison of twenty thousand years ago stands on the third floor of the natural history museum and is attracting any amount of attention. It is more than a foot taller than the modern buffalo and is nearly two feet longer while its horns are fully four feet long allowing for the curvature. Mr. Martin who found and reconstructed the specimen estimates that it would weigh at least twice as much as its smaller descendant.
Phi Delta Phi Pledges.
The Phi Delta Phi honorary law fraternity has pledged the following new members: Alfred M. Landon, J. L. Stryker, H. J. Eaton and Roy Cox.
HOSPITAL ASS'N. ORGANIZED.
Officers are Elected for Year Two Benefits Already.
The articles of organization of the University Hospital Association published in the last issue of the Kansan, were formally adopted Thursday. The following officers were elected for the year: O.D.Nevitt president; Emery Trekell', vicepresident; Mabel Marsh, secretary. The articles of organization make Mr. Folks treasurer of the Association.
By a unanimous vote, the benefits of the Association were extended to C. L. Burt and O. D. Chambers, both of whom have fallen ill since paying the fee, and prior to the adoption of the constitution.
It is hoped that a special act may be passed by the next legislature, making the payment of a small fee for this purpose compulsory on registration. This would place the success of the venture beyond all doubt, and would make the association strong enough to do much more than it can hope to do now.
"UNCLE JIMMIE'S" DAY.
Law School will Celebrate Anniversary Green Hall Dedication.
At a general meeting of the Law School yesterday at noon it was voted to follow the custom begun last year of making the first Friday in November an annual holiday in the school. Green Hall was dedicated last year, Friday, November 3, and it is the plan to make this Friday a regular holiday.
The School will give a banquet and smoker Friday evening for the students and faculty of the Law School.
Many Sophomore Parties.
At a meeting of the sophomore class held at noon Tuesday, arrangements were made for holding six parties during the school year. The first one of tpe series will be given November 9 in Fraternal Aid Hall. Two of the parties will come before the holidays and the remaining four after Christmas. A standing committee consisting of the following was appointed to assist in the work of entertainment: Messrs: Claud Clay, Tom Veach, Jas. De Berry, Tom Johnson, R. Rowlands, Eustace Smith, Ike Housman and Clay Waters.
Washburn 29; Emporia 0.
Washburn is elated over the fact that they score four more points against the College of Emporia than the Jayhawkers did. By their own account the Emporia line was in bad shape. There were three subs in line positions.
