Unlike teams under modern-day head football coaches
Bill Snyder andRon Prince , Kansas State football did not draw huge crowds in 1900. After K-State lost a home football game with Kansas State Normal (nowEmporia State University by a score of 11-0, one reporter wrote that "The only disgraceful feature of the whole game was the crowd that witnessed it....The gate receipts did not pay one-third of the expenses....Not until there can be free co-operation of both students and college authorities for the support of the cause can K.A.C. ever hope to be successful on the intercollegiate athletic field."

One of the teams' two wins for the season, against Kansas Weslyan, was notable because Coach Moulton led his team to victory despite the fact that approximately one-third of the team had been placed on academic suspension for failing mid-term exams.
