The University of Kansas defeated
the Kansas Aggies at Lawrence Thurs
day in sea Of mud, 13 to Z, through
the brilliant broken field running of
Captain Foster in the final quarter.
The Kansas captain made three
| runs for a total of sixty yards and
carried the ball over for the last
touchdown of the season. Foster
played his last game on the Kansas
gridiron and starred in all periods.
The Kansas team did not fight in the
early periods, but came back strong
in the final quarter.
The Aggies started the game with
punting duel between Hustled and
Bum, the Aggie fullback outpunting
the Kansas man five yards on the ex-
changes. The field was heavy and the
teams reSOrted to straight football.
Gallagher, Burton and Hustled smash
ing the Kansas line for consistent
gains in the first period Jolley got
away with 15-yard pass in the first
period and Gallagher made ten yards,
Burton taking the ball over and the
Aggies kicking goal.
Ruble played a good game in the
second quarter, carrying the ball
through the Aggie line for big gains
on every trial. The Jayhawkers ad-
vanced the ball to the Aggie 1O-yard
line in the second quarter and were
held in the shadow of the goal posts
for downs. The Jayhawkers re-
turned the ball after punt to the 10
yard line and Ruble hit the line and
carried it over Kansas kicked the
goal. The half ended a Z to tie.
The teams changed suits in the
rest period between halves and start
ed the second half with renewed pep. !
The periods were shortened because
of darkness. The third quarter was
a repetition of the first period punt |
ing duel, with Foster outpunting the
Aggie man. The Kansas team got
under way and Stem Foster made .
three brilliant runs for fifteen, twenty /
five and twenty yards each and car
ried the ball across for the winning
score. The Aggies opened up their
passing game in final effort to score,
Gallagher doing some good work on
the receiving end, but the Jayhawk-
ers held the Aggies near the Kansas
line.

SPREADING The LIGHT

A paper in the position of the Even
ing Missourian has no selfish interes
in rejoicing that the Senate finance
committee hav voted in favor of doing
away with the zone system of charge:
on second-class matter-that is, news
papers and magazines.
On the contrary, the operation OF
the law, although possibly not so in
tended, was to safeguard each news
paper in its own locality and to ham
per competition from larger papers
and periodicals published at a dis
tance.
Nevertheless there are few persons
in the Nation who will regret to see
the zone system overthrown, if Con-
gress finally accepts the amendment.
The carrying of newspapers and
magazines long distances at cheap
rates of postage may not have paid the
Postoffice Department in cash, but it
certainly paid, and will pay again if
given the opportunity, in service per-
formed to the Nation.
In a country which spreads over so
much territory as the United States of
America, the danger to be avoided as
pestilence, is the growth of section
alism. The original thirteen colonies
could not become a nation, could not
become more than an alliance of in
dependent states, until the develop
ment of intercourse among them. The
growing nation could not have stretch
ed itself to the Pacific Coast success
fully except for the railroads. Now
the United States cannot be held to-
gether in a strong unified state ex-
cept for the railroads, good roads, the
telegraph, the airplane-and the news
papers and periodicals.
When one section of the country
thinks only of its own affairs, the Ma
tion should beware. The logical out
come is the establishment of a nation
on the Pacific Coast, another in New
England, another along the Atlantic
Coast, one or two in the South, and
half dozen in the Mississippi Valley. |
When Congress decreed that the
postage on a newspaper from New
York to Missouri, or from Missouri to
New York, should cost four times the
subscription rate, it was taking the
first step toward hampering thoughts
along national lines, and toward stim-
ulating thoughts on localized, section
al lines.
