Topeka Players Were a Factor
Worthy of Mention.


Lawrence. Kan, Oct 26.-Kansas
university, under the splendid coaching
OF that great Michigan player, Weeks,
met its first defeat Saturday on Nc
Cook field at the hands of the Haskell
Indians by the score of IL to 6. Kansas
has herself to blame for the loss of the
game. She had the best material on
the gridiron and on ability to play the
game should easily have won from the
redskins.
In the first half X. u. made a misera-
bic effort at playing football The In
dams were fortunate in making the
first score within two minutes after the
game started by a tumble which was
followed up by booting the ball for
more than fifty yards down the field
when P. Hauser for Haskell finally Sc
cured the pigslSin and carried the ball
the remaining distance to a touchdown.
This "fiuke" score gave the Indians
great encouragement,w l1ile on the other
hand it dampened the spirit of the K.
u players to point from which they
never recovered during the first half.
On deceiving rush play, the Indians
took advantage of the nervous Kansas
team and scored their second and last
score before the half closed.
When the second half opened Kansas
went into the game with spirit and
dash which would easily have won the
contest had they shown their true form
in the opening of the game. During
the fifty minutes of play on straight
football K. U. carried the ball about 270
yards, while the Indians made about 200
yards In the second half Kansas made
1876 yards to HaskelPs IL. In this latter
half of the game Kansas simply smoth-
cred the braves, but it was too late.
Rice, the Topeka player, did good
work al left tackle, while Griggs and
Fleishman, the other Topeka boys on
K. U. helped wonderfully in the second
half. Pooler, Hicks and Brummage played
their usual good game. K u has the
material and the coach, but are lacking
in teamwork and speed. The game put
up by Kansas in the first half was sick
ening. The men got off slow, the inter-
ference was. poor and in their playing
showed plainly that they were a lot OF
scared, ratified. nervous players.
No credit should be taken from Has
kell The Indians took advantage of K
US weakness, playing good, hard foot
ball. They prayed a very rough game
and should have been penalized for this
kind OF work. = but in the excitement OF
the contest their foul play was over
looked. Archiquette. Roberts and Vince
lock did Haskells brilliant work and
practically won the game for them The
f1erceness of the play resulted IN laying
men out often, and the warmth or the
weather also told on the men. Severaf
players were forced to retire from both
teams.
