Reminiscences of Football as it Was Played at Kansas Twenty Years Ago.
"I see by the Kansan that Professor Hopkins, now head of the English department, was the coach of the first K. U. football team," said on old grad on the "slow train through Missouri" that brought the sadly decimated remnants of the "fighting five hundred" back from Columbia early last Sunday morning. "That is not the truth. Professor Hopkins had just come from Princeton in 1890, the year we first played football, and all he did was to tell the boys that K. U. needed a team. They got together, wishing to be up-to-date in every respect and organized and coached their own team. H. A. Pearls, now an attorney of Los Angeles, was the captain. Next year, however, they drafted Professor Hopkins. He was the only man on the faculty that knew anything about football, in fact, perhaps the only one that ever saw a game. Football was still a new sport, even i nthe east. a new sport, even in the east. Coach and Manager, and W. A. Kinzie was chosen captain. K. U. won every game on the schedule that year,except one, a tie with Washington University. played at Kansas City. During this season, Rev. Hector Cowan the famous Princeton guard, who was the pastor of a church in St. Joseph, Mo., was prevailed upon to come down for a few days and coach the K. U. team. His services were so satisfactory, and his prospective playing was so needed in the Kansas line—coaches were then allowed to play with their teams—that, after a year more of ministerial work to better prepare himself he was made a member of the faculty and coached the team in 1893.
"Professor Hopkins remained Coach and Manager of Athletics for the first of the year, but was succeeded by A. W. Sheppard, from Cornell, a member of the faculty of the engineering school. Then came Rev. Cowan, whose official title was Chapel Director and Professor of Physical Culture. His coaching the football team was merely incidental, of course, as was also his playing on it."
"That reminds me," began another old-timer, settling back in the car-seat and lighting a fresh cigar "of what happened to Higgins. He is now Professor of Law, but in the old days he was a mighty promising left tackle. The boys used to practice each evening on McCook field, as they do now, and in returning to town they were in the habit of cutting across the yard of Judge Bassett, whose home stood at the north end of Oread avenue. Judge Bassett's son had warned the boys several times against trespassing, but one night several of them who had not heard of the warning, among them Professor Higgins, undertook the short cut. Young Bassett thereupon unlimbered the family fowling-piece and let drive at the intruders. A charge of number six shot entered the left arm and side of Professor Higgins and wounded him so badly that he had to be carried from the scene of carnage. He played no more football that year and his injury no doubt convinced many good people of the danger and brutality of the game of football."
"What did they do with the sharpshooter?" a listener asked.
"O, he spent the night in jail, continued the narrator, "glad enough to be where the college boys couldn't get at him. Feeling ran pretty high on the hill for a few days."
"I remember when feeling ran pretty high against a certain professor on the Hill because of football, about that time," ventured another "reminiscer" after a short interval, filled only by the slow pounding of the car wheels on the rails.
"Go ahead," suggested the impatient one.
"Vice-Chancellor Carruth at that time took a great interest in the game of football, and probably knew the game as well as anybody at K. U. According to to the system then practiced, of selecting the officials when the game was about to begin, Professor Carruth was chosen referee at a Baker game. The K. U. sentiment against Baker was not then what it is now. In those days the name of Baker inspired an intense spirit of animosity within the breast of the Kansas rooter, and a beating by Baker was the most disgraceful humiliation that could be visited upon a Jayhawk-team.
"Consider, then, the attitude o the ancient 'fighting five hundred' when Professor Carruth, in his capacity of timekeeper, blew his whistle and so stopped the game, just when W. C. Coleman—coach of the freshman team here two years age—had got away for a touchdown. Of course Mr. Coleman's excellent effort went for naught according to the rules, but the indignant supporters of the Kansas team could not see it that way. Professor Carruth was accused, in being fair to the enemy, of 'standing up so straight he fell over backward,' and in the near riot that followed, had not the players themselves protected him, he might have been seriously damaged. It was said that the jubilant Bakerites made him a handsome offer to come down to Baldwin to teach, but that is not a matter of record."
NAVY "PLEBES" HAZED.
Upper Classmen Broke Annapolis Code for Lady Friends.
Hazing has been revived at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Two freshmen or "Plebes" as they are called, were required to go through several foolish stunts for the benefit of some lady friends of the upper classmen. The upper classmen are indignant over this violation of the code on hazing.
