MED1Cs VS.. OTTAWA
Play the First Football Game at Kan
sas City Today.

Sas O1Iy 1odaY
Kansas City, Oct. 6.-The football
season will be formally opened in Kan
sas City today when the Medics meet
Ottawa at Exposition park. Eddie Pen
dleton, the ex-Medic, has been coaching
the Ottawa team and he understands
the game thoroughly. He knows how
the NIedics play football and has taught
the Ottawa, boys all of the tricks and
formations of the old Medic team.
Captain HeIlar and Club Morris,
the coach, have been busy with 300
students at the University Medical col
lege and have, since September 1, by
careful attention, selected a team of
students, rs per cent of whom are grad
yates of state universities, who stood
foremost in their medical studies last
year and who will make every effort to
come out VictOrS in tOday'S contest.
The ATedics defeated Ottawa last year
by a score of 20 to 5. But the game was
pronounced by all who witnessed it to
have been the hardest fought of any
played at a western gridiron in recent
years. There is a warm friendship be-
tween the two teams, but it insures
hard fought contest.

FOOTBALL AT wAsHBURN.
Second Eleven and High School Team
Play Draw Game.

The high school and the Washburn
second eleven played a tie game, 5 to
on the Washburn field Thursday.
The Washburn team was decidedly
the stronger and steadily forced the
ball across the field in the first half for
a touch down but missed a very easy
goal. In the second half Washburn
again carried the ball steadily toward
the high school goal.
With the ball within two yards of
the line Washburn sent Clarke across
the line for a touch down He went
across, fumbled the ball and the high
school carried it back just over the line
and massed for a play. The ball was
sent back to Charley Griggs who went
through the center of the line. He had
sufficient interference to take advant-
age of a large hole and pass the men
back of the line and then across the
field for a touch down. He made the
run with the two teams close behind
him but he won. The goal was missed
and time was called.
