I day for the great cOl1ege game ne
sun shOne with a warm, melloWing
influence on the banners of the blue
and white held aloft by the pretty
Washburn goods and the stalwart sons
of Kansas and the rays were reflected
back from the Aggie side, where the
purple colors of the farmers gave the
effect of a mammoth bank of corn
flowers. There we're two thousand or
more at the game and every throat
seemed steel lined as the boom of col
lege yells echoed back and forth, in
terspersed by the strains of the Aggie
band 40 strong.
