THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME III.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 5, 1906.
WAS NO SCORE
NEITHER KANSAS NOR MISSOURI COULD CROSS THE GOAL
Nearly All of the Game on Missouri Territory—Missouri Ends Were Superior.
Very little regular foot ball was tried during the game. Wallace made the only first down for Kansas on an end run. One forward pass for eight yards was successfully made by the Jayhawkers and a few two and three yard gains by line bucks. The Tigers never made first down and throughout the game attempted no tricks.
On one of the muddiest fields that two foot ball teams ever lined up on the Jayhawkers and Tigers played a no score game for the annual Thanksgiving day honors last Thursday. During the morning Coach Kennedy said that the rain left little chance for either side to score. Assistant Coach Mosse said: "A first class High school can keep either team from scoring."
The Jayhawkers played most of the first half within the Tigers' territory, once trying a field goal from the 35 yard line and again forced the Missourians to punt from behind their own goal line. Forter particularly distinguished himself throughout the game by his long, accurate punts. But once during the game did he juggle the slippery ball long enough to let it be blocked.
In the second half came the great opportunity for the Jayhawkers to score. The ball had been punted and repunted when Crowell broke through the Tiger line, blocked a punt on the 25-yard line and gathering it up, ran and slid along to the 15-yard line where he was downed. Brunner was called twice into the line, gaining 6 yards. On the last chance Angney called for a forward pass which bounded over the goal line where Forter recovered the ball. It looked to the spectators like Kansas had won. In an instant the referee carried the ball back, declaring that the ball had not touched a Kansan after its delivery until Forter fell on it. A few minutes later the Kansans got another chance at a field goal from the 40-yard line, but the mud covered spheroid sailed wide of the posts.
To say the least, Missouri played a surprising game. They punted well and her ends excelled the Jayhawker ends in running down punts.
SEVENTH ANNUAL BANQUET.
Engineering School Function Next Tuesday.
The seventh annual banquet of the Engineering school, which will be given Tuesday evening, December 11, in the city Y. M. C.

HONORS WELL DIVIDED ON MISSOURI VALLEY ELEVEN,
THREE KANSANS
NUMBER 23
Kansas Would Get Three Men and Three Subs.—Nebraska Is Second with Three Men
After a careful survey of the individual work done on the seven leading Universities of the Missouri Valley this season the Kansan with the assistance of a number of football critics of Lawrence has picked the following all-star team with a first sub for each position:
FIRST TEAM. POSITION. SECOND.
Mason, Neb. R.E. Graves, Mo.
Barr, Colo. R.T. Crowell, Ks.
Putnam, Ks. R.G. Wölfe, Okla.
Brown, Wash. C. Farnsworth,Colo.
Roller, Colo. L.G. Reed, Kans.
Donald, Kans. L.T. Waggoner,Ok.
Johnson, Neb. L.E. Haughey,Wash.
Cook, Neb. Q.B. Cross, Okla.
Acton, Okla. R.H. Millice, Wash.
Tillman, Mo. L.H. Wallace, Kas.
Brunner, Kas. F.B. Cave,K.S.A.C.
Right End—Mason, the Nebraska captain, owing to his speed and ability to get down on punts, stands out clearly as the man for the place. Graves of Missouri would make a good sub.
Right Tackle-Barr of Colorado, by his aggressiveness, came nearer holding Donald than any other man in the Valley. Crowell of Kansas is a close second.
Right Guard—Putnam of Kansas while a first year man, during the big games of the year was never outplayed either on offensive or defensive. Wolfe,
Saturday Evening, 7 to 10.
COUNTY FAIR
Come and see the chorus girls,the minstrels. Have your fortune told. Guess on the Agriculture Display and win that beautiful prize.
No side show over 5c.
Left Tackle.—Donald of Kansas for the third year certainly stands unquestioned as the man for the place. On defense Donald was agressive and at worst stood as a pillar of granite before the enemy's charges. At offense no other man in the Missouri valley advanced the ball as consistently. Waggoner of Oklahoma was second.
Only 10c admission.
German Verein Elects.
At the last meeting of the Deutscher Verein the following officers were elected for the next six weeks:
Program Committee, Prof. Kruse, Miss Gleed, Mr. Kohman.
President, E. R. Riesen.
the Oklahoman, is easily the second.
Pictures, Squires.
Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Apollo.
Right Half.—Acton of Oklahoma, owing to the combination of an offensive and defensive player, is easily first. Millice of Washburn, holding second.
Secretary, Rilly Bernhardt.
Left Half.-Tillman of Missouri as a tackler and carrier of the ball is no doubt the first man for the position. Wallace of Kansas, second.
Left End.-Johnson, Nebraska's colored man, like Captain Mason was down on punts, often ready to tackle before the ball had reached the safety man. Haughey of Washburn is easily his second.
Center—Brown of Washburn, owing to his strength in bucking the line, can clearly claim the first place. Farnsworth of Colorado occupies the sub position.
Left Guard-Roller of Colorado has a slight advantage over Reed of Kansas. Roller's aggressiveness won him the place. Reed is second.
Full.—Brunner of Kansas is first. As a line bucker he had no superior and in solving the play of his opponents and then stopping it he was also easily the choice of the Valley. Cave, of Manhattan, is sub.
Quarter.—Cook of Nebraska is the best man in the Valley. His individual playing was superior to that of any other opponent. Cross of Oklahoma is second.
For the captain of this team Donald who has had four years experience in 'Varsity football playing in all 39 full games and captaining the Jayhawkers this year, would make the ideal man. The team is strong in every department except a punter and field goal kicker. Millice of Washburn could be called from sub half to punt, and to score the field goals Wallace of Kansas could be called from a sub half.
Kansas claims the championship of the Valley because in the five State Universities that she has played she won all except at Missouri where the weather conditions were not favorable to show her real strength. Nebraska is second owing to her close struggle with the Jayhawkers and her splendid showing among the "Big Nine" teams. Washburn having played Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma to a 0 to 0 scores can rightfully claim the third place.
