having told the. boys heretofore he was going
up to look for the game. The Kansas men
caught the ball from Neb.'s kick off and
started off across the field. They started off
round our end. Little Thompson had the
runner down before he could reach the line.
Then "Ugly" Taylor started for the line.
He went down with disappointed hopes and
the ball without having gained a yard. Then
they punted down to Yout who was down
the field on the lookout for such plays. Then
across the field as solid as a stone wall.
They extended the time on us in the wild
hope of at least making the score a tie, but
when time was called finally Taylor was
down and two Nebr. boys were sitting on
him, our covertcd goal almost obscured by
distance and dusk.
And victory again was ours.
NOTES FROM 110TH GAMKS.
The Topeka Capital says in regard to the
failure of the umpire, linesman and referee
the Nebraska boys went clear across the field to show up. "It was afterward learned that
for a touch down. No one played a star
game because they all played equally well.
Flippin would buck the line for several yards
then Yout would go around the end, then
Dern and Oury and Thomas would take the
ball in succession and measure the distance
gained by five yard lines. The crowd kept
some of the Nebraskans had written to them
not to come to Lawrence for they would not
be acceptable to the Nebraska players."
There is gall and wormwood in such a state
ment. If Kansas players are of such a stripe
we want to inform them not to judge us by
themselves. Our boys arc gentlemen, not
looking for the Ottawa's to do some of their thugs. And we believe the
brilliant playing, but somehow it didn't work.
Nearly every man in the Nebr. line was
through on to the runner before he could
could get started that is when Ottawa had
the ball but they did not need to bother
themselves over that the first half. "Ugly"

he ought to have known it.
In the K. U. game, one touch-down apiece
for Fair, Deen and Flippin. That's right
boys, divide it up.
During the first game, in the second half
and Flipp. were called the bull and the bear. towarditsclose Whipple gave place to Frank.
They both played on the same side and so
each struck the other in bucking. Taylor
soon got the worst of it. Flippin, Thomas
and Yout behind the line made a blocking
force that rarely ever failed to carry the ball
forward. Thomas and Flippin carried the
ball over and Crawford kicked goal.
Now Ottawa tried new tactics. They tried
to run the ends and failing in that kicked
often. Toomey is considered the best full
back in the west but notwithstanding Jones
Wilson several times bothered his puts. The
Ottawa ends went down after the ball the
quickest of any ends in the country but Yont
who played full on the defensive always took
his time and never fumbled. The halves
were short or Nebraska wonld have scored
more. The Ottawa men play desperately.
Taylor would come into the line like a cata
pault, but unfortunately, for him, he always
came into Flipp's end. Toomey and Potter
played brilliantly but somehow those eleven
We are glad to say Otis is not at all hurt.
Stone, of Kansas was badly injured in the
second half and had to give way to Walker.
Hester, Kansas' half-back kicked the only
goal he had a chance at.
The wonder that Kansas expressed was:
What! You fellows beaten by Missouri? Well
how did it happen?" It might have been
impertent to ask about Doane.
Thorp has made a great reputation for him
self. As some one expressed it, "He's right
aboard.
