Ticket time
Football .
The University of Kansas Parking Service cart is a familiar sight on campus roads. Even more familiar to many students are the tickets the parking officers leave behind. Regulating parking at KU is a 24-hour job. Most jobs are patrolled from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. Here Officer Lee Johnston writes a parking ticket behind Carruth-R'Oleary Hall.
From page one
KU's center, picked up the Missouri'r signal. Just before the Missouri quarterback was ready to give the signal, the team over and tapped the center on the back.
IMMEDIATELY THE ball was snapped but the Missouri quarterback was not prepared. An alert KU end ran down field, and he trotted and traced on the line for a touchdown.
There is no account of whether it worked more than once, but KU won 12-14.
The first KU—Iowa game was also in 1891. The Jayhawks claimed a 14-10 victory, and the Titans were down by 63.
Football disputes are as old as the game.
Football dispatches are as old as the game. In the early days coaches could play with the team and were expected to KU's first team, coach, Professor Sherwood, arrived in 1892.
In 1893 Hector W. Cowan came to KU to take over as football coach and serve as chapel director. He had been a guard at Pricipeton.
Teams were always on the lookout for new opponents. The Interstate Football League was formed with Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas in 1892.
But football wasn't restricted to intercollege play. The colleges played athletic teams, teams and even high school clubs. With the universities classes plaved each other.
It wasn't a sport for those who bruised easily. Uniforms of knee pants and jerseys provided little protection and the game was very rough.
Authorities abolished the varsity team at Baker because of roughness.
A player died in 1890 during a junior-n senior class game on the Hill. In 1894 a back died when he was tackled too hard in a KU varsity game.
PERHAPS AS a result of the final game of the first season, ill feelings developed between KU and Baker. A tough Baker man angered the KU team and the result was that Baker's morals卸载ied their objectives stepped in and as a result Baker did not have another team until 1911.
President Theodore Roosevelt was so concerned with the number of football players in the Army that suggested that some rule revisions be made to make the game safer. Eight deaths and

154 serious injuries were attributed to football that year.
On the lighter side of football was the mystery of KU's "thantom tackle."
Matiine movies are shown on Saturday and holidays at 1:45 p.m., 1:55 p.m. and 2:06 p.m.
More than a few movie theatres
The Sunset Drive-In Theatre is on West
Street. It is open from mid-March to
November.
Krobe Rebles appeared on Mt. Oread in the fall of '99. The story was that he had learned football in high school at his old home in Trinidad, Colo., and his family had moved to Birlingham, Kan. He wanted to enter KU that fail.
He missed the beginning of the season but played in the Nebraska game. KU won 36-21.
HE HELPED the Jayhawks wash Rushburn, 35-0.
It was generally known that Washburn had a Topeka fireman player. His name was "Fatty" Clark, and he was enrolled in the fine arts department.
So a general house cleaning began in intercollegiate sports. Other stories of professional players in college football had circulated for quite a while.
Rumors spread that the 6-foot-1-inch, 210-
found Krebds had been nervously encarved.
In the Missouri game at Columbia two Missouri linemen set to stop Krebs. They were carried from the field. Kansas 34, Missouri 6.
The team went back to Lawrence and fans planned a celebration in Krebs' honor. But Krebs never showed up. He had disappeared.
Even Krebs turned up again in 1934. He
returned to Lawrence as the guest of honor at the celebration on the eve of the KU-
HE EXPLAINED that he wasn't really from Colorado. Before coming to KU he had played varsity football at the University of West Virginia for five years and was a freshman. He also disappeared because he had come to KU to play football, not to get an education.
University of Kansas students can choose from nine movie theaters in Lawrence.
There are two downtown theatres. The Granada Theatre, 1020 Massachusetts St. and the Varsity Theatre at 1015 Massachusetts St.
Down the road at Manhattan, Kansas State Agricultural College lost its first football game in 1972.
The Hillecrast Theatres, located in the Hiliercest Shopping Center at Ninth and Iowa Streets, offer three different movies. Starting times for the first show are 7:20 p.m; 7:30 p.m; and 7:40 p.m. The late show starts at 9:30 p.m; 9:35 p.m; and 9:40 p.m.
KU met the Aggies for the first time in 1902. The Jayhawks won, 16-0. The Aggies didn't win that annual contest until 1906, and another 18 years before they won again.
Rules of eligibility also made an appearance at this time.
The Varsity's movies start at 7:30 p.m.
They are shown on Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
1088 marked a transition for college football in Kansas. The two state schools were ranked second and they looked toward for greater competition. The Missouri Valley Athletic Association.
AN EARLY landmark in KU football history was the construction of Memorial Stadium. It was partially constructed by 1921 and was first used that year at the KU-1 game. The stadium was dedicated to the memory of the KU men who had died in WWI.
The Granada's movies start at 7:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. and there are matthew shows. (Melissa Gertz, Aubrey J. Smith)
Dissatisfaction among the smaller schools in the ten-member Missouri Valley Conference lead to a split in 1929. The larger schools formed the Big Six League, its members were Kansas, KState, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri.
In the *30s* larger schools quit playing smaller ones entirely.
Scoring was gradually modified so by 1912, when the value of a touchdown was raised to 6 points, the scoring nearly conformed to the present system.
And every fall it seems to take the entire country by storm.
Members of the first KU football team would certainly think the game was a wonder now. Inhabitants of the Hill are still curious to see it.
