mately $4,000, an Increase.

Kansas City, Nov. 25.-Missouri and
Kansas tied the score, to 3, IN the
annual football game at the Gordon q
Koppel field on Thanksgiving day. In
the earlier part of the game Missouri
seemed to have a more important ad-
vantage than that of heavier weight.
That advantage was the more success
full use of the forward pass and otner
open plays.
Missouri had a slight advantage over
Kansas throughout a large part OF the
first half. The Tiger line completely
outrushed that Of the Jayhawkers. Play
of the backfields was about even.
Through holes opened up by the su-
perior work of the Tiger line, Hackney
and Lenire made many good gains IN
the first half. Kansas, on the otner
hand, failed to make consecutive gains
through the Missouri line.
The only offense of Kennedy's pupils
that proved effective was the forward
pass. The Jayhawkers seemed to
strengthen after Missouri had scored
but did not seem to have an offense
strong enough to complete the distance
to the Tiger goal line.
The Missouri team was taken to the
club house while the tired Kansas war
rfors gathered in a circle in the center
of the field. They were instantly sur
rounded by a dozen former players
from the Kansas school, who gave them
words of cheer and advice.

while even money was being offered
without takers that Kansas would NOT
score in the last half.
The gate receipts were approximately
$4,000 the same as those of last year.
About 5000 more persons attended the
game than last year
The result upholds the Jayhawker
record Of not having lost two Thanks

ord which seemed to be in jeopardy.
Chancellor Frank Strong of Kansas
followed the Jayhawker band and was
given a great reception as he took a
seat in a box in the Kansas section.
The bIeachers were the popular seats;
the grandstand, in the shade, was slow
to fill The boxes were all filled 10
minutes before the game began.

How Scores Were Made.

The Missouri score was made in the

Missouri's superior handling of the
forward pass. The teams exchanged
goals and Missouri attempted forward

Lemire broke through the center of the
Kansas line for 25 yards.

of the most exciting incidents ever
seen on a western football field.
