LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 26, 1907.
K.U.29, K.S.A.C.10
MANHATTAN AHEAD AT END OF FIRST HALF.
Brilliant Playing of Angney Feature of Game. Star Runs by White and Cunningham.
Outweighed ten pounds to the man, the Jayhawkers swept the Farmers down to defeat in one of the most spectacular games ever seen on McCook this afternoon on a muddy field in the presence of 2,000 K. S. A. C. and K. U. rooters by a score of 29 to 10. The feature of the game was Angney's playing. Not since the days of Benny Owens has such spectacular playing been seen on McCook as that done by Angney today.
The game started out with a snap, and it was evident from the beginning that the struggle would be a hard one. Both sides were forced to punt repeatedly in order to get the ball out of dangerous territory.
In the first half little gain was made by forward passes. Forter used his boot to advantage in times of need punting from fifty to sixty-five yards. In spite of the rough treatment he got, Angney made some excellent end runs, and also used the quarterback kick for profit. Carlson and Reed were the stars of the line, plunging through interference and downing the Farmers before they could make their gains.
During the first few minutes of play, Montgomery the K. S. A.C. captain, made a sensatianal 80 yard run for a touchdown.
The agriculturists did not understand just how a forward pass was made, and using it persistently, were penalized repeatedly. Bates, the plucky quarter-back for the enemy, did star work, making good catches and returns on punts.
In a series of brilliant line plunges, the 'Varsity shoved Caldwell over for a touchdown. Stevenson failed for goal at the forty-five yard line. Kansas once more worked the pigskin down the field, and Forter turned the tide in favor of K. U. by making a field goal.
Near the close of the first half, Cunningham the hero of the run, was seriously injured, and was taken from the game with concussion of the brain. Coyle took his place.
Second half: Farmers got the ball on blocked punt, and Bates dropped kicked field goal. Angney carrying the ball four times in succession, made good gains around the ends and through the line in the most brilliant playing ever seen on McCook Field. After two more plays he carried the ball over for a touchdown. Later a diagonal punt of forty yards by For-
ter was captured by Job White and carried over for a touchdown.
After battling down the field for several minutes, Kansas pushed Miller over for the last touchdown. Forter kicked field goal.
Forter was slow on his punts and several of them were blocked. Out of five chances for field goal, Kansas failed to make good four times.

DID ROMANS CONQUER GREEKS?
"Physically They Did but Not Intellectually" Said Consul-General Horton Last Night.
"Greece has never really been conquered," said Consul-General Horton last night in his lecture on 'The Greeks of Today.' Rome conquered Greece physically, but Greece remained intellectually the dominant nation. Because of their clannishness and their vigorous language the Greeks are retaining their identity as a nation better than any other race of the world, excepting possibly the Jews."
"Eighteen million people thoroughly scattered over the earth speak the Greek language, which today, considering the natural changes of any language, is the same as used in Athens in the Age of Pericles."
The Pi Beta Phis initiated the following pledges last evening: Mildred Poindexter, Tess Critchfield, Lottie Fuller, Mary Couers, Gertrude Blackmar, Hazell Leslie, Alice Johnson, Bernice Tabor, and Helen Ames.
Pi Phis Initiated Nine Pledges.
The first Senior Party, given in Fraternal Aid Hall last evening was a decided success in every way. A large crowd was out in spite of the inclement weather and nothing but good reports are heard today.
Senior Party a Success.
Roy Moore of the Kansas City Times was a spectator at the game today.
WHERE IN 1908?
SQUABBLE ENDS WITHOUT LOCATING GAMES IN FUTURE.
St. Joseph Sure.-Concessions to Tigers Because of Financial Embarrassment at Columbia.
St. Joseph has been finally decided upon by the Kansas athletic board as a meeting place for the annual Thanksgiving game. The athletic authorities at Columbia having already given their consent to playing the game at St. Joseph, the action of the Kansas board is final. Some time next week Managers Ebright of Missouri and Lansdon of Kansas will meet at St. Joseph to sign the final contract and arrange all the details of the game.
According to the agreement with Missouri, nothing definite is settled as to where the game will be played next year. Missouri turned down flatly all four propositions which Kansas submitted early in the week, explaining position in a long letter to the board. According to this letter, athletics are in such a bad condition financially at Missouri that they dared not sign a contract to play the game on college grounds next year.
After reading the explanation from Columbia, the Kansas board voted to play the game at St.Joseph. The resolutions read as follows:
"Whereas, the situation at the University of Missouri is such that the athletic committee there cannot accept the propositions offered by the. University of Kansas, in order to give to the University of Missouri sufficient time to arrange for the playing of the game on college grounds, be it, Resolved, That the University of Kansas hereby agrees to play the 1907 Thanksgiving game with the University of Missouri in St. Joseph, Missouri, and notifies the University of Missouri that after 1907 the University of Kansas will insist upon playing the game on college grounds."
KANSAS LAWYER IMPROVED.
Will Give Supreme Court Decisions a Week After Rendition.
The Kansas Lawyer, the official organ of the Kansas Law School, expects this year to put out the best publication in its history. Arrangements have been made to publish the decisions of the Kansas Supreme Court one week after they are handed down. Formerly the only official reports were published in the Pacific Reporter eight weeks after they were given. Editor Jones expects soon to improve the appearance and increase the size of the Lawyer.
EX-K. U. PROFESSOR HERE.
Professor Blake Recovering from Broken Ankle—Will Lecture.
Professor L. I. Blake, after whom Blake Hall received its name, stopped over in Lawrence a few hours this week, on his way to Denver. Professor Blake is just out, after a six weeks confinement in an eastern hospital with a broken ankle. While installing his own system of Submarine Signals on a vessell on Lake Ontario he fell and severely shattered the bones in his ankle.
Professor Blake will deliver a series of lectures at the University sometime during the winter months.
NO CRIBBING AMONG MEDICS
Freshman Class Passes Strenuous Resolutions Declaring Against Dishonest Class Work.
"Be it resolved that we, the undersigned members of the medical class of 1911, do hereby pledge ourselves to the following agreements:
"First: That it is the sentiment of the class that there shall be no cribbing or any other dishonorable work done either in recitations or quizzes. Second: That he who voluntarily gives aid is equally as guilty as he who receives it."
The foregoing resolutions, with others relating to unified class spirit and obligations of fellowship, were adopted by the freshman medical class at a meeting held Thursday morning. The paper on which these resolutions were drawn up, with the signatures of every one of the thirty-three members of the class attached, was given into the keeping of Dr. Sudler, the Dean of the Medical School. Expression has been given to a general sentiment in favor of rigorously enforcing these regulations.
Miss Lapham Gave Piano Recital.
Miss Agnes Lapham, K. U. '97, gave the first number of the Fine Arts concert course Thursday evening. Since Miss Lapham's graduation she has given two recitals at the University and she showed a marked improvement since her last appearance here. She is now a finished pianist and while the pieces she played were simple and well known, she rendered them with a touch and feeling that would become an older musician.
Jake Wilson Revisits University.
Jake Wilson, who was Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds at the University during Governor Leedy's administration and the Populistic regime revisited old scenes on the Hill this week. This is Jake's first try back for nine years, and he says the changes in that time are indeed remarkable.
