on the Missouri 15-yard line. Here
the Tigers held. On the fourth down
Wilson flipped a pass to McAdams,
who was waiting on the goal line. Will
son missed a try at goal for the first
time this year. Seore-Kansas, 6;
Missouri. 3.
The Kansas bleaehers were frantic
with joy.
The first quarter ended soon after
| without further tallies.
McAdams and Sturgeon were the
man fighters aroun whom Quarter
back Wilson built his next attack on
the Tigers, and he used rare judgment.
The second quarter was not Ear gone
when McAdams bueKed over the
chalked line on an off-tackle swing
| for the second Kansas counter, follow
| ing a series of beautiful plays thru
the line. Wilson kicked goal. Kan
sas, 10; Missouri, 3.
In the third period the Missourians
came back with a vengeance. Taking
| the ball on their own 25-yard line,
and using Allen. Lincoln ana Chuck"
Lewis, as head ground gamers, the
| Tigers advanced steadily down the
field. End runs with the shifty Lewis,
line smasnes by the powerful Lincoln
| and the ball was over for the first
| Missouri touchdown. Lewis missed
goal. Score-Kansas, 10; Missouri, 8.
In the fourth quarter the Missouri
! ians out-piayed the Jayhowkers. Pen
alties at psychological times cost the
Kansans heavily not only IN ground
but in morale.
Oh, the agony of that fourth quar-
ter Fifteen thousand X. U. sup
porters in the east stadium-crying
for the final whistle, as the mighty
Missouri backs smashed thru the Kan
sas line on their way to a touchdown
The misery of a million worlds was
located in the K. U. stadium. And
with Chuck Lewis and Humes and
Lincoln on the ball, the Kansas line
crumbled before the attack.
1t looked like a Missouri touch
down. The attack was repulsed and
Kansas got the advantage. While the
fans were breathing easier, Kansas
took advantage OF the rest to score
another pair Of points. The Tigers
had the ball on their own 10
yard line following a punt by Kilson
of Kansas, and were held for three
downs. On the fourth attempt, Simp-
son made a high pass to Lewis, and he
was downed behind the goal line by
Kansas fighters for a safety. Score:
Kansas, IS; Missouri, 9.
But the long, agonizing quarter was
not yet over And Missouri was not
thru with her attempts to score. A
touchdown would tie the game for Mis-
seuri could win.
And the Tigers fought like their
namesakes for the winning score
Down the field marched the black
and yellow jerseys. Kansas gave way,
it seemed to let them pass. Seven
times straight Chuck" Lewis, Mis-
souri, halfback, plowed thru the line
or shifted round end for long gains.
But en- the 15-yard line the Kansans
held. The day was saved for the mo-
ment. Kruger made a hero of him
self when he knocked down a long for
ward pass that was going straight for
the waiting arms of Hardin.
Kansas took the ball ON her 15yard
li1e and McAdams made yards
around end. A penalty for holding,
put the ball on the Kansas 3-yard line.
Wilson dropped back for the kick. He
faxed, and a line buck for a gain re-
suited. On the second down Wilson
dropped back yards behind the goal
line. He signaled for the ball and
four Missourians broke thru the Kan
sas line They were almost upon Will
son when he kicked. The ball, some
how. got free and scared 80 yards up
the field. 1t was a wonderful exhibit
ton of sheer nerve on the Kansas
quarterback part.
The crisis was passed. A1tho Mis-
