Springfield, Mo. Oct. ION a pref
ty game of football. free from wrang-
ling and played i'm the best of feeling,
the University of Kansas team defeat
ed Drury college here Monday after
noon by the score of IL to 0. The
Congregati played like hends
and every inch of ground Kansas gain
ed was fought for. The Dr1ry Z men
equaled the Jayhawkers in weight, but
their playing was slower on the often
sive and they showed lack of practice
in concerted defensive playing. Their
headwork was not of the best. Several
times they lost the ball on downs when
a punt would have put it out Of dan
ger. It was only their inexperience,
this being the first game on their
schedule, that kept the Painters from
playing Kansas a 0 to game.
The game was played in a drilling
rain but the weather was ideal for the
PLAYERS. The local men were not in
good condition and much time was
taken out to allow them to regain their
wind A crowd of 500 sat in the rain
and saw the hardest fought and yet the
cleanest game ever played in Spring
field. At no time did kansas. haVes the
game won. In the last two minutes
Drury had her Only-eaanee to score.
They got the ball and when Pooler
punted into his own line they were
MlLuln ten EdEOS Oh tite llsctS , Odl
and two times they hit the Kansas line
and were thrown back. As they lined
up for the last try time was called.
This was the only time that Drury had
possession of the ball in Kansas terri
tory. The Jayhawkers worked for
each gain. Twice they took the ball
to the Panthers 15-yard line and lost
it on a tumble
For Kansas Donald and POoler play
ed their usual reliable game. Hart
made good gains on his quarterback
runs. Myers, Drummer and McNaugh-
ton also answered when called upon.
French played a great game for the
Partners. He was always in the
gcrimmage. He carried the bail on the
only long gains Drury made. Stuart,
Knight, Adams and HasWell were the
other supports, Kansas kicked of
giEty-fiVe Yards to Bates, who fumbled
and was doWned in his tracks by Burt.
French gained on the first Scrimmage,
but Kansas held and took the ball on
downs. The fifteen yards to the goal
was a strong fight The Congregation
alists got together and worked. 1t took
six scrimmages before Kansas could
push McNaughtOn over the line. POOler
missed goal, Kansas kicked fifty yards
to Adams, who returned the ball ten
yards. Kansas held their opponents
and Bates punted thirty-hve yards to
Pooler. Kansas carried the ball to the
Drury 20-yard line and We're here
forced to make quarterback kick
Drury secured the ball and sent Langston
fra and got i've yards. Drury punted to
Hart. Kansas took the ball to the locals
rud Adams and French gained. The first
half ended with the score 8 to in Kansas
FAVOR with the pail an Dfury s possession
on their 5V-yaEq line Inc second half was
hard work. The Jayhawkers pushed Don
aid over for the second touchdown after Is
minutes of hard football. Pooler kicked
goal. That Drury has good team there
Is no doubt. They play Arkansas here next
Saturday and should win easily. The Jay
how hrar~ fraz-
ed 100 miles and have played three hard
games in the last six days. The Kansans
were well treated here. The students
