football team, with a little help from
ten others, played the Kansas uni
versitv eleven on McCook field mere
this afternoon in a sea Of mud and
water and a continual drizzling rain.
The score at the end of the first half
was Kansas 5, Lehman o; final score,
Kansas 81, Lehman 0. About three
hundred people waded through mud
and water to witness the game. Time
and time again the game was delayed
in order that the mud could be mopped
off the players and cups of water were
dashed into their faces on account
of the mud in their eyes One player
could hardly be distinguished from
another.
The work Of the Jayhawkers during
/ the major portion of the game was
giIt-edged considering the condition OF
/ the field. However, Kansas out
weighed her opponents at least ten
! pounds to the man which was great
advantage on the soaked gridiFen. De-
I spite this handicap Of weight, WASH

i in the nature of 1lukes.
It was the first appearance of the

playing on that team. During the en-
tire game Lehman made first down
for his team probably half a dozen
| times but in the punting line he was
clearly outclassed by Poolef, the lat
ter averaging more than forty yards
| while ~Lehmanns punts averaged un-
der thirty. The game was largely
one Of punting. Other players on
Washington worthy OF mention were

gains. Both teams resorted to many
fake plays, several of which result
ed in large gains.
For Kansas. Donald, Bruner and
Pooler played their usual good game,
seldom failing to make gains when
