greatest which ever represented the
Kansas university and Topeka people
will have an opportunity of seeing some
fine football playing next Saturday
when K. L. meets the Washburn team
on the college campus in this city. The
annual Thanksgiving game between
Kansas and Missouri in Kansas City
will probably be the most hOtly con-
tested game ever played by these two
great universities. Each team is in fine
condition and each is expecting a vic
tory. Yesterday the Missouri Tigers
smOthered the strong Washington uni
Versity team in St. Louis by the score
of 33 to II. The Missouri team IS a lit
tie heavier than the Kansas boys, but
both teams are so evenly matched that
it will be hard to pick the winner Kan
sas has not lost a single game through
out the season, while Missouri has lost
but one and that of the 'huky" order.

go on the road for few months and
when he goes into active training to fight

four likely fighters who profess q desire
TO tackle the champion are Robert Fitz-

DOWN GOES NEBRASKA.
K. o. Players Defeat the Lincolnites
With Ease.

The annual football game between
Kansas and Nebraska has been played
and although Kansas gained a decisive
victory over the red and white, Ne
braska's star player. Benedict, must be
given credit for establishing a new rec
ord in football. In four attempts at
kicking goal from the field he was sue
cesSful each time, giving his team the
twenty points it made in the game.
By great team work and fine all
around football playing, Kansas made
six tOuchdOwns and kicked six goals,
making their total score So points. Ne
braska was simply Outplayed at every
point and as it was impossible for her
team to make any impression on the
Kansas line, she relied on end runs and
punting for gains Nebraska never had
the ball nearer K US goal than the
ten yard line Kansas interference
worked as one man and in defensive
work the eleven was wonderfully
strong.
The day was perfect and the game
was played in the presence of over 5000
persons. Both started off with a rush,
but Kansas seemed too fast for the Ne
braskans and before anybody knew
what had happened made a touchdown.
In the first half Tucker was the bright
particular star. He was given the ball
three out of every four plays and he
seldom failed to make from five to
twenty yards. In the second half the
fast and furious playing continued and
while Nebraska fercely contested every
play. she was clearly out-classed by
Kansas.

MAY CHALLENGE ENGLISH
Yale and Harvard Managers Now
Considering the Matter.

New Haven. Nov 20-The Yale Al

and Harvard athletic managers are
of joint track-athIetic challenge to
oxford and Cambridge, and it is pro-
bable that a challenge will soon be
sent as the initiative must be taken by
Harvard and Yale, the defeated con-
testants. The meet would be held on
this side of the water and would have
to take place in the latter part of April
or the first day of May, as faculty reg
ulations in England make other dates
impossible.
In consequence of conflicting dates
the Yale-Harvard dual meet would
have to be postponed until a week la
ter than it is at present scheduled. The
details will be put in the hands of a
graduate committee similar to that of
last year, consisting of two graduates
from both Yale and Harvard, who will
be selected by the managers and cap
tains Of the two track teams.
