NUMBER 14
KANSASTASTED DREGS OF DEFEAT IN HARD BATTLE.
Jayhawkers Were Outclassed in Every Turn-Failed on Four Kicks for Goal.
And this is the sorrowful story the wires tell as the evening shadows fall: Kansas 5; Washburn 12. In a game where both teams struggled as they never did before the mighty Jayhawkers met their Waterloo this afternoon at Topeka before a crowd of 3,500 people. The Kansans were fairly outclassed by the Congregationalists at every turn of the game but despite this fact, battled to the sad finish with a courage born of desperation.
Not at any time during the game did it look as though the Jayhawkers had any chance of winning from the fearful Washburn aggregation. Repeatedly Washburn went through the Kansas line making a steady march down the field of battle. They ran around the ends for numerous gains and the Jayhawker ends were so torn up that three new men were put in before the end of the game to try to hold the fleet footed Washburnites.
The first touchdown of the game was made by Billy Miller of the Kansas team. The ball was caught by Miller after being fumbled by Boles of the Washburn squad and Miller fell accross the goal line with the pigskin hugged tight in his arms. But on the kick Kansas failed.
The first score made by Washburn was made by Millice on a forward pass in the first half. They succeeded in kicking goal making the score 6 to 5 in Washburn's favor. From then on neither team got a score in the first half but all the odds were apparently in favor of Washburn.
In the second half both sides battled like fiends and Kansas was eased down the field. The sensational feature of the game was in this half when White of the Washburn team made one of the prettiest 80 yard runs around the Kansas end ever seen on the Washburn field. Washburn again succeed in kicking the goal making the score 12 to 5 in favor of the Congregationalists.
One of the lamentably weak points in the Kansas squad was the inability to kick goal. At four different times during the game Kansas tried for field goal when they were in easy reach of the goal posts and each time Forter missed. In this department of the game as in every other Washburn had the Kansans beaten. The heavy onslaught of the Washburn huskies around the ends completely upset the Jayhawkers' outposts and although the ends started out with Miller, Rice, Porter, and Angney, at the end of the game Rice was the only one of these left in the game.
It was hard to determine who did the star work for Kansas as every man on the defeated team played a hard game. Captain Rouse played a steady game of football throughout. Crowell, Reed, and Carlson played an aggressive game and made good gains for Kansas. Angney was playing a great game when he was taken from the field on account of an injury. Stevenson made some of the greatest gains for the Jayhawkers around the end. The officials were: Masker, refree; Stahl, umpire; and Sampson, head lineman.

MANY SPEECHES MUCH ENTHUSIASM
"Uncle Jimmy" Green Started the Ball Rolling.—Students Marched 500 Strong.
The enthusiasm preparatory to the K. U.-Washburn game was started in chapel yesterday morning, followed by a big parade and mass meeting. After chapel a large number of the classes were not in session for lack of members, and "Hail, Hail," and "Rock Chalk" sounded from one part of the campus to the other, as the five hundred or more students, headed by "Uncle Jimmy" Green, circled Mt. Oread in an almost endless procession, giving the various University yells and singing familiar songs.
The enthusiastic crowd then congregated in front of Green Hall. "Uncle Jimmy" in his speech sounded the keynote of the demonstration when he urged for united university spirit, first of all, if victory were to be attained.
Among the speakers besides Dean Green, were: Dr. Burdick Professor Van der Vries, Manager Lansdon, Coach Parry Donald, Brunner, "Pat" Crowell, Steele, Carlson, Miller Milton, Pleasant, and "Job White."
New Standards for Analysis.
Professors Sayre and Bailey attended a meeting of the State food analysts last Tuesday at Topeka. The purpose was for the agreement upon standards for foods and drugs in Kansas. Work of the future will be based upon these standards.
CONDITIONS BAD
WATER USED BY BOARDING CLUBS IS FULL OF BACTERIA.
List of the Worst Ones to Be Made Public if Evils Are Not Corrected.
More than eight hundred students at the University of Kansas are drinking contaminated water at their boarding clubs. Everyone of the twentyfour wells recently examined by Professor Bailey and W. A. Stairn showed bacterial contamination and although not necessarily containing pathological bacteria at the present time gave evidence that they were liable to become a means of spreading disease at any time. Six of the wells examined showed pollution to such an extent that the water could not be considered safe to use.
Professor Bailey refused today to make public a list of the clubs where the sanitary conditions are the worst, but stated that if the faults were not corrected in a few days he would give the names of the places. There are at least a half dozen houses where the use of the water is extremely dangerous and unless the people who conduct the clubs improve their source of water supply, measures will be taken on the part of the University to compel compliance with the laws of sanitation.
Speaking of the results of the investigation this morning Professor Bailey said: "I will not make public a list of the places where we have found conditions very bad until I have a chance to talk to the Chancellor, but I will say that in a number of cases I have found conditions very bad. I believe measures will be taken on the part of the University officials to remedy the evils."
A bacteriological examination of the city water supply made during the same time showed that it was uniformly freer from contamination than the well water.
Investigation brought out the fact that in very few cases the water was boiled before being used on boarding club tables.
In many cases the wells were found to be so situated that they were liable to receive surface drainage and in some instances there was evidence that slops from the kitchens had been thrown out in the vicinity of the wells.
