KANSAS LOSES IT
Game With Bonnie Owens
Squad Brings Defeat to X. q.
SOOners Quickly Take Advan-
tage of Jayhawker BIunders.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. KANSAS lost
to Oklahoma Saturday on McCook field
6 to 5. The gridiron vas soft and slip
perry and fumbling was frequent. as the
players could neither keep their feet
nor hold the ball.
Bonnie Owens Sooners took ad-
vantage of K. us misplays and carried
off the second straight victory over
Kansas in as many years. Oklahoma
kicked two field goals, while Kansas
kicked one field goal and scored a safe
ty for two mora points. Here is how
K. U. lost
Oklahoma got off long punt which
went over the heads of K US back
field men and when the ball was finally
recovered a Jayhawker found himself
smothered by the fleet Sooners ON his
one yard line near the corner of the
field. Kansas Immediately kicked, but
the ball went out of bounds on K. us
20-yard line. On the first play Okla
homa took the ball over in front of the
goal posts and kicked a goal. A few
minutes later with the ball in Kansas
possession and a fourth down, Milton
the Jayhawker center passed the ball
back to Durham for a kick. The pass
was bad one, the ball going over
Burnham's head. 1t was Oklahoma's
ball on the Kansas 25-yard line and the
Sooners quickly kicked their second
goal
With only few minutes left to play
Kansas fought desperately and tore
through the Oklahoma team for 25 and
80 yard gains. But time was nearly up
and when Weidline missed an easy
chance for goal the game was over.
This was Weddings second attempt at
goals from the field, he having easily
kicked one early in the second quarter
The Kansas team came out of the
game in splendid shape and will now
prepare to put up fight against Wash
burn at Topeka next Saturday. This
should be one of the best games of the
season.

Kansas Bear Stories Out.
Lawrence, Kan. Nov. Another
big game is staring the Jawhawker
mentors in the face and the Kansas
team is not playing too good football
for 1t, either. Next Saturdays contest
against Washburn at Topeka is not
being taken lightly here. Despite the
fact that the Sons of Ichabod were
beaten Saturday the fear of the Blue
and White team here has not weak
ened.
Kansas was outlucked in the Okla
homa game but in addition to this
the team played ragged in spots. At
times the tackling was poor and the
backf1eld was worse and then again
the men braced and upset the Sooners
in their tracks. The trouble seems to
be in lack of team work. The Wash
burn team probably will face Kansas
full strength. Weideman, who did not
play against the Sooners, will be in
the game again this week. Rambo at
fullback will be in again and Martins
shoulders will be healed by next Satur-
day. Coaches Mosse and Frank are
planning a strenuous workout this
week for the team. The freshmen team
will use the Washburn formations
a gainst the varsity in practice and
an effort will be made to stop the Con-
gregationalists' plays before they get
fairly started
