SEASON SUMMARY:
With the start of the 1914-15 season, a new rule allowed
for a five minute overtime period if the game was tied at the end of regulation.
Before this, the team that scored the first three points after a tie was
declared the winner. KU made use of
the new rule, beating Iowa State in overtime during the second game of the
season, 27-23.
The Jayhawks were 16-1 and compiled a 13-1 conference
record in 1914-15, winning what would be their last Valley championship until
1922 and their last under Hamilton. Led
by All-Conference players Ralph “Lefty” Sproull, Ephraim Sorenson, Arthur
Weaver and Ray “Stuffy” Dunmire, KU’s only loss was to what is now Kansas
State. Game accounts blamed the
21-18 loss on the fact that two Jayhawk starters had the mumps.
Sproull also was reported as sick, but he played.
