The final score was 6 to 6, both teams scoring a touchdown in the first half. There is every reason to believe that the Colorado men expected walk away. After they had defeated Ne braska they supposed that the. Kan sas players would be easy victims. The Kansas team went into the contest badly crippled. Captain HICKS juries; Chappell, the fast halfback, has been retired; Michaelson was out of condition, but played the game out with bulldog grit, and several others were more or less. used up. The fact that in spite of all this the Kansans held their opponents to a tie, means much in their favor. 1t is true that luck was with them and they were handling of punts by the Colorado men and by costly fumbles, but in the closing few minutes of the play the Kansans simply carried the westerners off their feet, and had the play continued five minutes longer they would undoubtedly have secured another score. AS it was, Russell missed field goal by a narrow margin with only three minutes to play. Galley for Colorado also missed several easy at tempts at field goals. The noun taineers excelled in team work and repeatedly battered the strong Kansas line for good gains.

Scandrett allowed the score, which was unquestionably right. Colorado at first refused to play the second half unless Scandrett was dis placed, but they finally gave in and played out the game, though there was more or less wrangling.
