Playing In a blinding snow storm with
the. wind blowing, over the field In a
fierce gale, the Kansas Jayhawhera lost
their first game this season to Oklahoma,
by a I to t score.
The. day was freesing cold and It was
Impossible to play good football; The
Hnonera outkkiked- Kansas and had the
better 'of the game In offensive plays. In'
this department of tha game, the Jay-'
hawkers were clearly outclassed by ttiulr
opponents.
Captain Capahaw anl Courtright. the(
Sooner hairs,-played brilliant foot bail'
and time after time the)-carried the ball
for twentr-flve yards around the Kansas
ends before being ' downed. The playing
of these two men alone was ' responsible
for the victory ...
After three. minutes of play, the Okla
homa team worked tbe ball to the Kan
sas tweuty-flre-yard line, where ' Cap
shaw kicked, a, .field goal for the only
score of the game. Kansas fought hard
in ins lattor part or tne game, out coma
not Hrnrfi.
Reeds, the Oklahoma punter, com-
pletrly outclassed Delsney , -Kansas uni
versity's star punter. The Oklahoman'a
kicks averaged forty yards In spite of thu
high wind, that was blowing. Deluney's
boots were miserable and Kansas univer
sity suffered. The playing of Hell, the
Auniai quarter, ana . . vvoouDury, wxa
the fuature of the Katisas play. Theu
work was the only redeeming feature for
e Jayhawkers,
.annas had tlx chances to acure in tr.e
.am and each of these times Delaney
fallud at drop kicks. Playtng In the sec
ond and fourth quarters was) In Okla
homa's territory, but Kansas could not
punt the bail over. Coach Stlehm of Ne
braska viewed the game this afternoon.'
He was much surprised at the peer show
ing of Kansas.
"The Oklahoma boys were too fast for
the Kansas ends," said the coach after
tbe game, "but Kansas played pretty
good foot ball.- We expect to win from
Kansas . next Saturday, but not without
hard work."
The Jayhawkers did not play their
hardest game this afternoon. Only one
time did fbey make first down and made
but two snicoessfu forward passes.
Today' defey will' not figure In the

Is pointing for Nebraska and will put up
