sturdy, long haired players and few in
terested sports They wore the univer-
city color of old gold.
By o'clock Saturday afternoon Nc
Cook athletic field presented a gay ap-
pearance. There were hundreds of gaily
decorated carriages drawn up along the
sides of the foot ball field, while in front
of them were lines of people anxious to
see the big game. There were probably
not more than ten people upon the field
who wore the old gold Every one else
was decked out in the crimson of
the Kansas university. All petty
rivalry between Kansas colleges was
laid aside, and the people turned
out to yell the rousing "Rock Chalk, Jay
Hawk, h. T."
There were many handsome turnouts
upon the field, the finest of which, at
least in novelty, was the old Sacramento
stage coach which was filled inside aud
on top with pretty fraternity girls of
Lawrence and the university. The view
was a mass of pretty faces and crimson
streamers.
The Iowa boys arrived on the field first
and were greeted with cheer. They
responded with their yell, which is Ha!
Ha!Hal, Hi! Hi Hi! Hawkeye, Hawkeye,
s. u. l.
When the K U. boys appeared on the
enough to make sick the hearts of the
wearers of the old gold. Then five
thousand voices took up the yell and
swelled the breeze for the Rock Chalk
boys.
At 1903 p. m Referee Chas. Klienhans
of Topeka called the teams TO their
places.
Fred. Cornell of Lincoln. Neb, was the
umpire and Lieutenant Smith of Bald
win was Iinesman and timekeeper.
Iowa took the west side of the field
and Kansas kicked off.
1t took just six minutes of playing for
Kansas to force the ball over the Iowa
line. Hester failed to kick goal Score,
DO
Iowa kicked off to Kansas and made
good following, bat Kansas superior
speed in playing and extra weight of
players soon had the ball advancing to-
ward the Iowa line again. At 1880 the
second touchdown was made and goal
was kicked. Score 100.
After this it was necessary to take out
time after nearly every scrimmage, as
some of the Iowa men would be lying on
the ground.
At 3:43 Outland, Kansas 1876 pound
halfback, made long run for touch
down. No goal Score, 40,
Games was ruled out of the game by
the umpire for smuggling. He is one of
Kansas best players. Crooks was put
in as his gu bstitute
Burney made pretty run around the
left end for a touchdown at 4:O4, and
Hester kicked goal, making the score
800.
There was one other touchdown made
by Kansas in the first half. Hester
made long run around the
right end and was trying to carry
the ball behind the goal posts He was
tackled by Stanton, who dragged him
some distance after Hester had yelled
"down."
Both players got up to have fight,
but they were separated. Manager
Mitchell, of the Kansas team, rushed up
and said: 81 want this stopped. If you
want to meet him after the game, you
can do it." This was the only ungentle-
manly conduct in the game. Hester
cooled down enough to kick goal, and
the first half ended with the score go.
1t was a half of end plays and hard
bucking of the line. Captain Leighton,
of the Iowa team put player Allison off
the field and gu bstituted Moore.
The first half was full of interest. The
Kansas boys made their touchdowns
with heavy resistance in front of them.
The second half was too one sided to be
even interesting to Kansas people. Kan
s0s had more endurance than Iowa. Iowa
time. Gaines, Iowa's right half. was
badly hurt in the second half, but was
able 10 continue in play.
The second half began at 4:33 and ended
