the final score 46 to S.
KANSAS VICTORIOUS.
KANSAS CITY (Mo), Nov. 25.-The
seventh annual football contest between
the Kansas and Missouri Universities
was played here this afternoon, and for
the fifth time the Kansans were victo-
rious, the score being 16 to 0. The
crowd was the smallest in years. there
being no more than 1000 spectators.
This was probably due to the weather,
it being dark and cloudy, with a driz-
zling rain falling. The Missourians,
though thoroughly beaten, proved
strong in their defensive work, and
from start to finish contested every inch
of the field.
The Jayhawkers We're so far superior
in their play, however, that at no time
during the game was their goal serious
ly in danger. The score of the Kan
sans would have been higher, but for
the misfortunes of Speak, full back,
who failed in four attempts to kick goal
from the field. The field was wet and
slippery, and the ball slippery.
Neither side scored until near the end
of the first half, when the Jayhawk-
ers pushed Mosse across for a touch
down. Mosse missed the goal. The
first half ended with a sensational play
by Hesse, who, breaking through Kill
liam and Leggett and doging Wood
son, made 2J-yard run for
the second touchdown of the game.
Mosse kicked the goal, and the first
half ended. Kansans 10, Missouri 0.
Soon after play was resumed in the
md ha To ha WIZ ha
up TO Missouri's 15-yard line, and Cap
tain Kennedy, trying a quarter back
kick, sent the ball to the Missuri goal
line ard Games beat Woodson to the
ball, scoring Kansas third touchdown.
Mosse kicked the goal.
Two of the Missouri men We're slight
ly injured. Fast was replaced by Troy
at right half, and Cramers, Missouri's
star, was replaced by Jones.
FIFTY TWO TO NOTHING.
CHICAGO, Nov 25.-Society came
out in full force to the Washington
Park oval this morning to witness the
contest between the teams of the Chi
cago Athletic Association and the New
Jersey Athletics. Coaches and drags
jostled swell phaetons and road wag-
ons, and the crowds in the stands
We're gay with club colors.
A drizzling rain made the field slip
perry and soft, although it had been
partially protected by hay. By the
time the game was called, however, the
rain had ceased.
New Jersey kicked off at 11:20, but
soon lost the ball. Chicago scored in
three minutes and again in five min
utes. The half ended with the score
Chicago 16, New Jersey O..
The second half was a farce, Chica
go playing all around New Jersey.
Touch-downs came down to the chfrry
circle at intervals Of two and three
minutes. New Jersey had the ball only
once, and then failed to hold it. The
crowd left early in disgust. Final
score: Chicago 81, New Jersey 0.
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY WON.
CHICAGO, Nov 25.-The football
elevens of TIE Universities of Chicago
and Michigan lined up this afternoon
in the Coliseum for their annual game.
Twelve thousand people filled the box
es along the side lines and nearly every
available seat was taken
On the right side We're 500 loyal root
ers who had accompanied the Michigan
team from Ann Arbor, while the oppo-
site side of the building was almost en-
tirely taken up with wearers Of the
maroon of Chicago.
The game had an important bearing
on the Western football championship.
Michigan had not been defeated in
collegiate game this season, and a vic
tory for her meant an equal claim with
Wisconsin for that honor.
Two electric score-boards, marked off
like a football field, were suspended
from the galleries near the center of
the field, and on them were shown the
position of the ball, the side holding it,
and the distance gained on each down,
which enabled unfortunate individuals
not familiar with the mysteries of the
game to follow it as intelligently as
could any confirmed crank.
Herschberger, Chicago's full back,
was in the game, having fully recov-
cred from the injury to his foot, and
his presence greatly encouraged his
team.
Herschberger made a 35-yard run for
a touchdown ten minutes after time
was called and kicked a goal.
Score-Chicago 6, Michigan 0.
Both sides punted freely after Chi
cago's touchdown, with the advantage
in Chicago's favor, the ball fetching up
in the center of the field in Chicago's
possession.
Herschberger made a place kick from
the 1T-yard line. Michigan worked the
ball to Chicago's S-yard line, but lost it
on a tumble. The ball was in Michi
gans territory most OF the remainder
of the half Score first half-ChicagO go l l.

turned the bali to center. Hannah and
