HERE'S SOMETHING WE ALL MISSED
DID HOLLENBACK CHASE
THOMPSON OFF THE FIELD?
St. Louis Papers Print Stories Showing Missouri's Soreness Over Tie Score.
University of Missouri football rooters claim that they were robbed in the Thanksgiving game and place all the blame on Lieutenant Thompson, the umpire whom they accuse of the grossest unfairness. Popular clamor is directed at Lieutenant Thompson because he detected Captain Thatcher illegally holding while Hackney was attempting a field goal and Missouri lost the three points. There has been little in the Kansas City newspapers to indicate the state of mind in Columbia, but the St. Louis papers have contained several articles derogatory to the official. An advertisement in the University Missouri states that panoramaie views of the recent "football robbery" are for sale.
Even Referee Masker is quoted as condemning Lieut. Thompson's rulings. Under a Columbia date line, the St. Louis Time says: Even President A. Ross Hill of Missouri repeated today that he was told by Referee Masker that he (Masker) would have been removed Thompson from the game if it was within his power."
"Big Bill" Hollenback, coach of the Missouri University football team, passed through St.Louis last night on his way to his home in Philadelphia. Hollenback was the guest of Nat Klein, whose son, Eddie, played quarterback for the Tigers.
The following article appeared in the St. Louis Republic last Tuesday morning:
Hollenback has not gotten over the failure of his team to win over Kansas and told some of the things that happened during the game and especially about the robbing of the Tigers of a field goal by Lieutenant Thompson, the umpire. Hollenback did not get into Kansas City till the afternoon of the game and did not learn of the leanings of the Lieutenant until the game had started.
In speaking of the officiating at the game, Hollenback said:
opening the game, Hollenback said :
"It was the rottenest I ever saw in any game and the whole was due to Thompson. He had coached Kansas for more than a week at Leavenworth and he had naturally become a partisan, and that is something no official should be.
"When Hackney made the drop kick, of which we were robbed, he waited until the team was getting lined up and then called a penalty for offside. Referee Masker told me that he said to Thompson 'Why, that couldn't have been When a team is waiting for a drop kick the men don't charge They merely block.'
‘‘Oh, well,’ was Thompson's reply, 'I meant they were holding.'’
Hollenback is considerably in doubt as to whether an official can change his rulings after they are made and it has been put up to the Alumni association at Kansas City to look into the matter and see if it can legally be done.
In addition to the decisions made during the larger part of the game, Hollenback declared that when Kansas made her touchdown Thompson threw his hat in the air and acted more enthusiastic than any of the rooters in the stand. In this Hollenback was sustained by Nat Klein, Eddie Klein, and another member of the party who saw the game.
Thompson banished three of the best men on the Tigers during the game and it it to this fact that Hollenback attributes the tie game. Burress at right end was the one man whom Kansas wanted out of the game and Thompson obligingly disqualified him and as a result the Jayhawkers marched around that end.
The final whistle had hardly blown when Thompson ran off the field and under a guard of Kansas men jumped into the automobile which carried the Kansas team. He had hardly got into the machine when Hollenback, Klein

J. W. Gowans, '03, of Winfield, was elected vice president of the Southern Kansas Teachers' Association at its annual session at Wichita last Saturday. B. E. Lewis, '01, of Anthony and H. P. Butcher '96, of Wellington were elected as members of the executive committee.
and several other Missouri and Kansas City men were after him, and it is doubtful if he would have gotten off the field with a whole skin had they caught him.
"I never heard of a football game where a few men are not dissatisfied over the decisions," declared Nat Klein, "but you can be sure that there is something rotten when every man in town was talking about the unfairness of the umpiring. Hollenback and I talked to Masker after the game, and he told us that he would have disqualified Thompson had it been in his power.
"'I would have resigned and gotten out of the game," he also said, 'if I could have done so. I never want to be mixed up with such officiating again.'"
With Hollenback and the party was Eddie Cochems, coach of the Barnes University football team Cochems was told all the particulars of the game and when shown accounts of the game declared he had never seen such marked evidence of partiality as shown by Thompson.
"In all my experience with football I never heard of a team being penalized on a drop kick," he declared. "Why, it's preposterous to think that any player would do anything that would cause a score to be lost, and it looks to me like a case of something wrong with the officials."
BOARDING HOUSE IN '54.
It would be interesting to make a comparison between the present day conditions and those of pioneer times as regards boarding houses. Here is a quotation from "Wilder's Annals" for the year 1854:
'Wilder's Annals' Tells How a Lawrence Industry Began.
"We had a comfortable night's rest in Dr. Robinson's tent, and in the morning were introduced to the "only boarding house on the hill." Two very intelligent ladies from Massachusetts had united their forces and interests and had taken 'boarders.' In the open air, on some logs of wood two rough boards were laid across for a table, and on washtubs, and kegs, and blocks, they and their boarders were seated around it This was the first boarding house in Lawrence. All was cheerful hopeful, and full of energy."
Word was received yesterday from Dallas Hanna, who went to his home at Fayetteville, Ark. with typhoid fever some time ago saying that he is able to be around again. He expects to return to the University at the beginning of the second term.
