HASKELL RECORD

Bert Kennedy, Coach, Can BE
Proud of Seasons Work.

BY winning from the Christian
Brothers college of ST. Louis by the
one sided score Of 80 to 10 on Thursday
last the Haskell Indian football team
established their claim to the nom
conference championship of the Mis-
souri, Valley. Within one point OF be-
ing never defeated, and but two points
separating them from an ever victori-
Gus title the followers OF Coach Ken
nedy's braves believe they are entitled
to the non conference championship be
yond any doubt.
Many of the fans here believe that
the Indians are the strongest In the
valley not excluding the Wanted Corn
huskers, and the memorable to 3
game at Lincoln October 25 which was
virtually a tie game with the Braves
winning everything but the score. was
proof enough of the valor and strength
of the Haskell team.
Playing heavy schedule OF ele: zen
games all but three of them on foreign
fields, and many of them after all night
rides and often against home OFFICIALS.
the record Of the redskins is surely
marvellous and speaks well for both the
coaching and training of the Haskell
boys. Coach Kennedy's record as u
coach is too well known to need repetf-
ton, but it is the training of the same
man that undoubtedly helps him to
win his many victories. Not once in
the long hard season has Kennedy lost
the services of a player through injury
or over training. But sixteen men rep
resented the Indians in their eleven
games. And as a climax the aborisi-
mes put on three games in ten days and
used but fourteen men in the three con-
tests. This is a feat almost unheard
of in football. Kennedy used to Gull
off just such a stunt in his palmy days
at X. u: in fact, in 1908 the UNIVERSE
ties Of Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri
fell before the Jayhawkers in twelve
days. But a repetition of this stunt
made necessary by poor work on the
part of the managerial force lost the
famous 1909 Kansas-Missouri game and
gave the Tigers something to talk about
even to this day. Twelve days of rest
for the Missouri eleven against five for
the Jayhawkers was more than even
Coach Kennedy could overcome. AL
though the close score and fierceness
of that battle was tribute enough for
anyone.
This years Haskell record speaks for
itself. The final grand total score is
Haskell 419 to opponents 81. No insti-
tuition in the United States can equal
this record, and the Indians are justly
proud of their team. The complete rec

1t has taken Coach Kennedy three
years to develop the present team.
When he took hold of the redskins they
had passed through a disastrous sea-
son. losing their final game by the
score of 119 to 0. By patience and per-
severance sometimes against heavy
odds the ex-Jayhawker mentor has de-
veloped probably his greatest eleven.
