renee last Saturday afternoon Two
time honored precedents were smashed
all to thunder and the Tigers from over
in Missouri accomplished two feats that
had never before been possible. The
Jayhawkers Of the present generation
are bearing a humiliation that was
never before known in a football camp
or Mount Dread. And the coincidence
OF all Kansas goes out to them.
However. no excuses can be offered
no defense can be made. In the Ne
braska game the Jayhawkers were SIM
ply outclassed and there was little sting
In their defeat. But against Missouri
they ought to have won. Their past
performances indicated that they
should; their weight and caliber made
them the favorites. But lack of ag-
gressiveness and inferior team work
proved their undoing. The defeat
made their season an unsuccessful one.
and the laurel leaves will wither and
die for the sake Of some one to wear
them for another year.
1t looks as if they simply were unable
to come out of the slump caused by
the overwhelming Lincoln disaster.
But the cause is Of little consequence
now, and the best thing for the Jay
hawks to do is to forget 1t and begin
making preparations for the future.
For the present the Tigers are their
what they make it. Here's to the
future, X. U!
For a long. long time the world has
boosted of one absolutely dependable
uncertainties woman. Now there
are two-a woman and a football game.
Think Of Harvard beating Yale 36 to
0! And in the brand new Yale bowl.
too! The Introduction Of Hal Sher1-
dams story of the game is worth re-
peating. Here it is: John Harvard
drank deep of victory in Yale's new
bowl Saturday afternoon. Eli mixed
the brew, but he failed to get anything
except the bitter dregs of a shutout."
After sending an account of the game
Associated Press wound up with
flash that said, Harvard wins"
1t was the first time any team ever
licked a Yale eleven three years rum
ming, and it is safe to say that New
Haven, Conn.,, and Lawrence, Kan. re-
sembled each other in many ways SUM-
day. There was no sunshine in either
town and Urbana and Lincoln had an
air-tight corner on the Old Sol stuff
along with Cambridge, Minnesota and
a place called Columbia. Missouri.
This is the last week of football. and
when the curtain falls on the Army
Navy game Saturday afternoon the old
king will step down and out and go into
retirement for another season.
The big finale in Kansas will be at
Manhattan Wednesday afternoon be-
tween the Washburn Ichabods and the
Manhattan Aggies. This afternoon the
Ichabods begin putting on the final
touches for the affair and indications
are that the game Will be fitting
climax and as good an attraction as
H.. ~ .1<~ ~
teams appear evenly matched, both
will make a superb effort to win and
neither will be licensed to run away
with big score Last year the game
was a to 6 tie and a knotted score
again is not impossible. However,
Washburn followers are expecting
better showing from the Ichabods and
are backing them for marginal favor
ties. A special train will be run to
Manhattan from Topeka and a large
crowd will go down to see the final
Kansas show of the season.
The only other game of importance to
be played in this part of the country
will be between the Haskell Indians
and the Oklahoma Sooners at Kansas
City Thanksgiving Day. The Red men
are touting themselves to win easy, but
the Sooners have held their own pretty
well this season and may be expected
to do SO in their final battle. Several
Topekans also expect to pay X. C.
visit for the purpose Of seeing this
game.
Pittsburg. Kan, Nov. 23.-Southeast
football enthusiasts will be entertained
here Thursday with the annual turkey
day game between the State Manual
Training Normal school team and the
