v- ft UNIVERSITY MISSOURIAN I SEVENTH YEAR COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1914 NUMBER 62 KTe2 1 TIGERS RUN OVER BIG JAYHAWKERS, HO TO 7 First Kansas Victory on "Home Ground" Goes to Missouri. ONE TOUCHDOWN AND PLACE KICK 1 opponents oianea wun a Rush But They Were Soon Halted. SCORE BY A Graves Adds Three Points by An Accurate Kick. Wll By United Tress. LAWRENCE, Nov.

21. They came into their own the Mls- souri Tigers when they defeated 4 the Kansas Jayhawkers by the score of 10 to 7, on McCook Field at Lawrence this afternoon. The Tigers had it coming to them, too. After a hard seasdh" of plugging away with many disappointing i setbacks, Brewer and Schulte sent jk team to the Kansas field that out-5jayed a team weighing 10 pounds to the man heavier for three quarters of the twenty-fourth annual contest between the schools. Each team attempted one for-w ward pass.

Both failed. It was straight football. The beefy red and blue line crumbled foot by foot before the smashing plunges of the Tiger backfield. And the Missouri line held against the Kansas back-field's tandem rush. The Jayhawkers made a touchdown on the jump.

Taking the ball from kickoff, they rapidly forced the Tigers back across their own goal line. Missouri rooters were dumfounded. It looked as if Kan-' sas would humiliate the old gold and black. Then the Tigers braced up?" The first quarter ended with Missouri holdirg her own. The second quarter saw them outplaying their ancient rivals.

All Straight Football. In the second oirter it was Kansas that was beaten back to-vward the goal line. "With the ball pn the one-yard line Savage was sent in. He put the ba'l behind the chalk line. The third quarter again was Missouri's by a thin edge.

Kansas couldn't gain. It was a question whet or not the Jayhawkers hold Missouri down. They did it fairly well and the third quarter became a punUng contest With Shepard taking honor. Th'e fourth quarter was really Missouri's best part of the game. The Jttyhawkers fought desperately in their own territory.

K. U. rooters gave up. Not once was Missouri's goal In danger. But the K.

U. team fought a good fight and fcraves had to try a place kick. He Triade it. There were no stars today. It was just a team of Tigers, fighting every inch of the ground deter- $minedly.

There wasn't a single play not even an end run worth more than bare mention. It was football, straight football from the opening to the closing whistle. And the Tigers smashing and plunging, with clocklike smoothness crushed their heavy op ponents. Like a wall they threw back the Kansas rushes. Thats the way Missouri defeated Kansas on her own field.

It is the first time either school Jfcis invaded It's opponents home Bd returned the victor. K. IT. Made 3 First Dowhs. A review of the staUstics of the game shows how clearly the XCigers outplayed their heavier foes.

The Jayhawkers made first dawn only three Umes. Against v.hronitn. nno week ago the same 'Cteam made only one first down. Tigers maue mot Imes. The Tlgers4 in their eager- ness, were penalized 35 yards for holding and being off-set The Jayhawkers were penalized jonly 15 yards.

I Missouri carried the ball through I line bucks and end runs just twice the distance the Jayhawkers were able to lug it. Here is the record of each team In carrying the ball: Missouri: First quarter, 20 yards, second quarter, 90 yards; third quarter, 70 yards: fourth. 'quarter, SO yards; total, 2C0 yards. Kansas: First quatrer, 50 yards; second. quarter, 20 yards; third quarter, 30 yards; fourth quarter, 34 yards; total, 134." Each team tried one forward pass and neither was successful.

Straight football was the order of play almost entirely. In punUng the teams were about even. Each side punted ten times. Shepard, Wikoff and Miller booted the ball for a total of 395 yards for the Tigers. Strothers made a total of 382 yards in punts for Kansas.

Missouri fumbled the ball twice and Kansas four times.v None of the fumbles was costly. When Savage Starred A crowd of more than 10,000 saw the Tigers win. All day football rooters streamed Into Lawrence by train and in motor cars. The hills, which overlook McCook Field, were lined with persons who watched the contest free from a distance. A big blanket Missouri pennant floated over the Missouri section of the north bleachers where the Tigers sympathizers made a fine showing with their yells and songs against the yells of their more numerous enemies.

If ever Missouri rooters "went wild" they did this afternoon when Savage went over for a touchdown and when Graves made his place kick from the 24-yard line. To Savage, the man who "made good in last Saturday's -game in Columbia against Washington, went the horor of makiqg the only touchdown against Kansas. When the plucky Tigers had carried the ball up to within four yards of the coveted goal and tried a couple of times to carry it over, Savage was sent in. Shepard, who has been ill and not in good physical condition, was taken out The ball went to Savage. The Missouri rooters "yelled their heads off" when they saw him plunge across.

There was a question for a moment about the play. That is, the Kansas players seemed to think that there "was a question about the touchdown being allowed. But the officials allowed it before the Missouri rooters had time to realize that there was a dispute. Between Halves. Between halves the Missouri band paraded the field.

The Missouri rooters stood and gave the 1914 yell while the band formed an M. The Kansas coeds followed the Kansas band on the field when a letter was formed. It was apparent during the Intermission that the Kansans were worried: They disguised their feeling as best they could by singing, "To Hell With Old. Missouri," to the tune of "John Brown." The Kansas women did their best to reve the drooping spirits of the Jay-hawker rooters. They remained on the field until time for the second half to begin, singing songs and waving pennants.

Miss Eliza beth Morrow, a Kansas tsudent, then joined the yell leaders. The Missouri team -was the first to arrive on the field. They appeared o'clock and were followed two minutes later by the Jayhawkers. After running signals Shepard and Miller practiced punting. With the aid of the wind they made many fifty and forty yard punts.

Fire whistle, factory whistles, bells, bonfires, pajama parade, cannons, and howling students were features of the Missouri victory celebration last night in Columbia. Ten shots werp fired from the cannon on the campus at 7 o'clock.

Following that the usual night shirt parade formed around the columns and "snake-danced" to Christian College, visited two of the local theaters and Stephens College. A large bonfire was lighted on Tenth street south of Broadway and 200 students danced around it. Immediately after the final score was announced from the auditorium yesterday afternoon about two hundred rooters gathered on the campus and went to the home of Prof. C. L.

Brewer, who was kept at home on account of sickness. Yells and songs were given for the Tigers and their coaches. Alumni of the University at Pittsburg, and Los Angeles, held banquets last night where the results of the game was announced. Telegrams were sent from Columbia immediately after the game.

CROWD WENT WILD Auditorium Fans Just As Enthusiastic as Those in Lawrence. Nearly a thousand cheering root ers heard the reports of the Mis souri-Kansas game at the University Auditorium yesterday. Their I cheers for a Tiger victory will be re-echoed by the suffering people across the ocean.

For from the dimes paid by the rooters to hear the reports a check for $63.85 will be mailed to the Collegiate Relief Fund for the Belgians. The crowd in the Auditorium was every bit as full of enthusiasm as the more fortunate folks who accompanied the team to Lawrence. As play by play came over a leased wire from McCook Field the crowd, led by an extemporaneous yell leader. Reed Bailey, burst into cheers. Less than two minutes after Savage had plunged over the Kansas line for a touchdown the stay-at- I homes knew it, and were jumping about, throning their hats in the air in just the same way as the Tiger rooters in Kansas.

The Missourian special leased I wire direct from McCook field, told every movement of the ball, and mf n. lho much of what happened in the bleachers. The returns given in tne AudltorIuin were the only tel egraphic account received in Co- lumbia. The Rev. W.

W. Elwang of the LPresbj terlan Church, "read the re ports. The last report received be fore Graves kicked the field goal which won the game ended with these words: "Missouri is preparing to try a goal from placement" When the crowd heard this they rose and yelled steadily until the next report came in almost Ave minutes later. As the Reverend Elwang stepped on the stage with the paper which told whether or not Graves had been successful the crowd read the result from his face and broke into renewed cheering. He stood on the stage several mln- before the din died down so that the result could be announced.

Then there was no use of reading it. The gross receipts from the crowd in the Auditorium were $95.80. The expenses of getting the bulletins to Columbia and of advertising the meeting were $71.45. The University Missourian would, however, have sent a reporter to the game and have had a running report for this morning's edition, so this expense has been borne by the Missourian. This leaves only $39.50 for advertising, printing tickets and incidental expenses.

Deducting this amount from the gross receipts leaves $63.85 which will be sent to the Collegiate Relief Fund. WILL SEXD CAR OF FLOUR Commercial Club to Ghe to Relief Fun i. A carload of Boone County flour will be sent to the desolate Belgians. Perhaps it will be two cars. The Columbia Commercial Club has decided that one car will go and tomorrow will set about fulfilling their decision.

It is a big Job to contract to raise funds to purchase 150 barrels of flour, for the Columbia car will contain that much. However, the Commercial Club has already effected a strong organization.

Columbia's contribution will be added to that of the entire country, for the American Milling Association has started a campaign in every section of the country. "I especially want the students of the University and the girls' colleges to send contributions to the flour fund," said E. C. Clink-scales, president of the Commercial Club. "The fraternities and sororities and every student organization should request their members to combine their funds, buy a barrel or two of flour.

PLEARS FOR BELGIANS Editor The Missourian: Every newspaper that comes to our doors, nearly, tells of the destitution of the Belgians. Your own issue of last night outlines a laudible plan to raise funds for their relief. Certainly occasions are few when larger dividends of good wrought can be earned on help contributed, and it is my conviction that our community is willing not only to support your plan, but to go farther in contributing to the prevention of death by starvation and exposure of these noncombatant vic tims of war. Our modern papers are undoubtedly the most powerful organizers of relief work, and I hope you will continue the movement you have started. The collecting of funds and clothing needs organization and leadership.

I am enclosing a. modest check with the request that it start a relief subscription. If any service I can add would be of help, please let me know. Let us be able to feel a pride in generosity of Columbia toward the helpless sufferers of Belgium. O.

Somervllle dreamed Friday night that Kansas would make one touchdown in the first quarter of the game. In the second quarter, Missouri was to get a touchdown and in the third quarter, was to add a field goal. Doctor Burgess says he can vouch for the telling of the dream.

Officials Admit That 4 Tennessee Incident Bothers Them. CAPTAIN'S REPORT Eastern Situation Occupies Attention of i Germany. By Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON', Nov. 21.

The United States is seriously concerned regarding what is going on behind the curtain of censorship in Asiatic Turkey. For the first time since the "Tennessee Incident" when a shot was fired across the bow of the launch carrying the Stars and Stripes, the officials tonight dropped their air of apparent disinterest. They do not fear war. It is admitted that Turkey probably will explain at least to "official satisfaction" that there was no hostile intent behind the shot which kept the Tennessee's launch out of Smyrna's harbor. But It Is at least pointed out that in his re port of the incident, Captain Decker officially characterised the shot as an "unfriendly act." Offi cialdom is puzzled as to just what the captain means.

Secretary of Navy Daniels, who, since last Wednesday, has withheld from the public the final phrase of Captain Decker's report to him, tonight stated that Decker characterized the shot as "not hostile but unfriendly." The Secretary admitted that he was worried over what Is going on in Symrna. BERLIN (via The Hague) Nov.J ot an rt- turned toward the East, where the "4 Russians are actively engaged. An official statement from the war office tonight admits that the Ger man force at Lodz has been on the' defensive, but today Is reported as "making progress." PETROGRAD, Nov. 21. Enor mous losses were inflicted on the Austro-German force which advanced eastward.

At all points along the enemies' line, which are trying to press, forward on Warsaw, the Russian troops have been successful, according to a state-, ment issued here tonight It is believed Here that the vic tory of the Russian forces over the Keilce-Radom line of the enemy has smothered the movement upon Ivangorod, the fortress on the Vistula south of Warsaw. By United Press. Nov. 21. Definite action by Italy is expected as the result of a summons sent by King Emanuel.

Ambassadors from London, Petrograd and Paris are speeding to Rome for an Important conference. By United Press. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. According to a statement made by President Wilson through Secretary Tumulty, the shot fired by the forts at Smyrna at the launch of tne Tennessee was not a nosuie aci -v but merely a warning not to enter a closed port.

This statement Is ji based on the report given by the commander of the vessel. Ambas- sador Morgenthau is reported to be investigating the incident and it Is thought that he will ask tho Tur- kish government for an explana-'J tion. 3 By United Press. PARIS, Nov. 21.

That the allies gained the advantage in yesterday's artillery fight along the western and southern fronts from Nieuport to the Aisne and Into the Cham-paignc district was the official statement given out here today. The heavy fire prevented the German troops from. constructing trenches. A new move of the Germans to drive the Allied troops from the Flanders trenches came to light here today. It is said that the Germans are preparing to launch huge barges of crude oil and fire them.

The launches will then be launched on the Yser Canal and In the flood ed district This move combined with the artillery Is expected to1; (Continued on pge six) 1IH ff i Titr. i- 1WSe? i sanawuu ju ujju I i.
