LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 27,1906.
KANSAS 16; COLORADO
MOUNTAINEERS WERE EASILY OUTCLASSED THIS AFTERNOON.
NUMBER 13
Kansas stock went soaring this afternoon, when Colorado went down in defeat with the decisive score, 16 to 0. The Jayhawkers now have a good chance for a clean sweep this year. The Kansas line was impregnable, and the back field responded nobly.
Jayhawker Line Was Invincible=Good Chances for an "Ever Victorious" Team.
Kansas used the forward pass with good gains, but the quarter back kick did not work successfully. Colorado was superior in this feature of the game, and made good gains at times. They could not advance the ball however, and in spite of good punting, most of the game was on Colorado territory.
Things looked rosy for Kansas from the first toot of the whistle. Colorado made a fluke quarter back kick on their own 15 yard line and Wallace made a gain of five yards, and in one and one-half minutes of play Brunner went over for a touch down. Missed goal. After the second line-up the Jayhawker stars begin to shine. Donald, Reed, Brunner, and White went through the Colorado line for 8 to 10 yards at a clip and Cohn tried for field goal from the 30 yard line. The ball struck the bar, and resulted in a safety and made the score 7.
After the middle of the half Colorado made gains frequently on the forward pass, and on the quarter back kick. One kick netted a gain of 25 yards, and a rolling punt gained another 25. Near the end of the half Colorado got away on a fake for a run of 40 yards which carried the ball to the Jayhawker 15 yard line. They couldn't gain on bucks, and failed at a trial for field goal. This was the only time the visitors were near scoring.
Practically all the second half was on Colorado territory. Ise went in at full, and after a few minutes Pleasant took the place of Rouse, whose knee gave out. He did some splendid tackling back of the line, as
Wallace, Brunner, Donald, Coulter and Reed were the spectacular players in the first half. Reed repeatedly tackled back of the line, and once threw the ball back for a loss of 5 yards. Within five minutes of the end Cohn made a beautiful place kick from the 45 yard line.
Coulter was injured at the end of the half, and Angney went in at quarter back. He played a star game in the second half. He never failed to return a punt for a good gain, usually from 10 to 25 yards. He was by all odds the hardest man on the team to tackle.
did Reed, Cohn and Milton. The other features of the half were the tackling of Cohn and Pleasant, the line bucking of Ise, Donald, Brunner and Reed. Ise made the last touchdown near the middle of the half. Milton missed goal, and the final score stood 16 to 0.

Freshmen Found Midland College Easy.
Referee, Delaney; Umpires, Jones and Coleman. Time of halves, 30 minutes.
Manager Lansdon's Tyros defeated the Midland College team at Atchison yesterday by the score of 23 to 0. The Freshmen played a fast game from the beginning to the end.
Porter made the sensational play of the day, covering 50 yards on an end run. Quarterback kicks were "easy money" for the first-year men. Steele once kicked the short kick and Mallam recovered the ball and made 40 yards gain.
Midland tried the forward pass four times and failed to recover the ball on a single trial. Caldwell, Carlson and Powers each made a touchdown in the first half and Stephenson carried the ball over in the second. Mallam kicked three goals.
The line-up for the Freshmen which remained the same throughout the game, was: Fortney, R. E.; Powers, R. T.;

Date of Soph Spread Changed.
The sophomore class will give a spread, Friday, November 2, in Snow Hall. The large laboratory room on the first floor will be used for dancing and the spread will be in the "gym" room. It was intended to give the spread Nov. 23, but the date was changed so that it would come before the first party which will be given Nov.9.

Dr. Burdick's Important Article.
Dr. W. L. Burdick is the author of the article on "Husband and Wife," in the last volume of "Cyc," as the Cyclopedia of Law and Proceedure is called. "Cyc" is the most recent and most authoritative treatise on law known to the profession. The last four volumes were issued this summer by the American Law Book Company. Dr. Burdick's article comprises six hundred pages in the last volume and is one of the most comprehensive and scholarly treatises ever written on the subject.

DEBATE SOONERS
THE CONTRACT WAS DRAFTED LAST NIGHT.
First Debate to Be at Lawrence Washburn Debate may be Scheduled.
The Debating Council met last night and drafted a contract for a series of annual debates with Oklahoma University. The first debate is to be held at Lawrence some time in March. Oklahoma will no doubt ratify the contract as they have been quite anxious to make such a deal. Reuben McKitrick of their Oratorical Association was here last Saturday and agreed to articles substantially the same as those of the contract submitted last night.
Corresponding secretary, W. E. Higgins, who was chosen last night, was authorized to correspond with Washburn and Nebraska, and to determine the status of the Iowa debate. There is a very general feeling that a debate with Washburn to be held here this year, and so to alternate with the Baker debate, would add much interest to debates, and would be valuable from a financial point of view.
No action was taken toward renewing the Missouri contract, and any proposals will probably have to come from Columbia if made at all.
Graduate Magazine Out.
The Graduate Magazine for October has as its leading article the address given by Hon. T. B. Murdock at the first chapel service of the school year. The principal article from a journalistic point of view is a personal account by Edwin E. Slosson, literary editor of the Independent, of the trip to Panama which he undertook some months ago in the interests of his magazine. Mr. Slosson received his A. B. degree in 1890 and two years later took his master's degree. The article is a "chatty" story of his trip, entirely different from the formal articles he wrote on this subject for the Independent. The magazine contains also an article on the Kansas University Medical School at Rosedale written by W. W. Douglas, '98, who is now teaching in the high school in Kansas City, Kansas. This article gives a description of the buildings and the work of the school and makes a strong plea for the support of the school by the citizens of Kansas. The magazine has a new cover design by Professor Griffith.
Fred Cowles, Herb Breidenthal and Fred Seddon are up from Kansas City to attend the initiation of Maurice Breidenthal tonight.
