A near football game was played on
Washburn field Wednesday afternoon
between the IchAbods and the Beneke

nished the earth to fall on there should
have been no kick coming.
However, there was one coming
big one-and Coach Gray. playing with
his men, made a long drop kick for
goal from the fifty yard line. There
may have been previous kicks as good
as this. but they have been few and
far between on Washburn or any other
Kansas gridiron. Mr.. Gray performed
the feat with the leg that wore the
blue and white stocking. Stockings,

bies and whenever he dons q football
suit he always bedecks one of his lower
limbs with the blue and white colors
and the other with a red and yellow
combination. Considerable curiosity
has been aroused by this unusual
''unmating of the twigs," but the
nearest solution that has been reach
ed is that he dislik-s to show partially
to either Oberlin or Washburn and
takes this matter to square things with
his legs.
Several touchdowns were made by
both the Ichabods and the high school
and the stellar playing was done prin-

line, but the rest OF the old warriors
were there, and on the whole it was q
rather interesting practice game. The
officials were Bobby Gray and Coach
Beneke, and the bare-bottomed bleach

Since the X. U. game there has been
an air of gloom ana desolation hang

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE Jay
hawker football team spent two hours
Wednesday night scrimmaging against
the freshmen. The practice was Sc
cret and mystery still surrounds the
work Of the Kansas eleven. On de-
fensive play the team showed well
against the attack OF the tyros who
were playing the Nebraska forma-
tons. Holt. a former Topeka high
school PLAYER who is regular fullback
on the freshmen team. was q good
ground gamer. He carried the ball
from the position which Halfback
Rutherford Of the Cornhuskers uses.
It became known tonight that Lind
sey, the star punter Of the K. U. team.
would not be able to get into the
game Saturday. His leg il not suf-
f1ciently healed to allow him to use
it. Outside Of this one regular the
Jayhawkers will have their full
strength in the line. Keeling, who
