Kansas met Missouri yesterday on a
field made slippery by drizzle and de-
feated the Tigers by one-sided score of
16 to 0.
Not once during the seventy minutes OF
play did the Missourians threaten the
Kansas goal In the beginning the tide
of battle set in against them, and with a
mighty onward sweep the exultant KAN
sans pressed them down the tield-now by
inches, now by yards-hurIing their line
back skirting the ends, crashing through
the tackles, drawing steadily nearer,
nearer to the coveted goal line. Barriers
were raised to crumble, the line stiffened
and snapped and the ends wore away be-
fore the timely onsIaughts of the inter
ference. The gaunt specter of defeat
stalked early across the field, wearing the
old gold and black of Missouri.
Kansas outplayed Missouri from the
kickoff to the sounding of the whistle
at the conclusion of the second half. 1t
was victory clean-cut and hard-earned.
1t was not a sensational game. Outside
of 2O-yard run by Voigts when he skirts
ed NIissouri's left end, a 3O-yard run by
Hesse when he plowed through NIissouris
line and carried the ball over for touch>
down, and d 20-yard run fake full
back play by Cramer of Missouri, there
was little to send thrills carOming up and
down the spinal column. Almost the en-
tire game was played in Missouri terrI>
tory. The fumbling of Funback Wood
son was probably responsible for a part
of the Kansas score. Four times he let
the oval slip through his fingers. Kan
sas also did some fumbIing, but it was
not as costly as that of the Tigers. The
quarterback kick worried the Tigers a
great deal. while their play of sending
the tackle and end from one side of the
line to the other in a revolving interfer-
ence play was easily solved and overcome
by Kansas. The Missouri backs were not
as strong as had been expected and the
Pennsylvania tandem often tore through
the line for gains

Of Missouri was exceptionally good. a
great deal of the Tigers work was done
in close formations.
The attendance was hardly up to for
mer years. although there were probably
$500 people present. There was a strange
lack of college songs; no megap phones
rounded off the trained voices of stu
dents pitched to frenzied key.
There was the same old stock of college
yells, and some new ones. One that pre-
dominated was:
''Rickety, Rickety Rue

Immediately after the game George Pal
mer ran an attachment against the Kan
sas team, garnisheeing 1870 of the gate re-
ceipts. Palmer is a professional pedes>
TRAN in Kansas City. r. K Moody, treas
urer of the Kansas team, gave out this
statement in regard to the attachment:
For the three years previous to this
year Palmer was a coach for the Kansas
team. The former manager of the team,
w. I. Reed, who is not with US this year.
signed an agreement he was not author
led to sign, engaging Palmer for this year.
But the team decided to engage DR.. Wood
ruff. AS soon as the game was over, Pal
mer issued his attachment. We will not
pay him the money. 1t was silly move
on his part. He has no contract with the
team. and the matter is not troubling US
in the least"
Palmer has engaged a. lawyer and the
trial will come off about January 20.
Bert Kennedy, quarterback, captain OF
the team that defeated Missouri yester-
day was nominated for reelection, but
declined to serve another year. Arthur
st. L. AIosse, the big right guard, was
then unanimously chosen as captain.
