OF FOOTBALL
Two Good Games Played Here
Yesterday.
WELLINGTON ANDQUAkERS
Are the Visitors, Both Making
the Same Score.

Wichita had plenty of football yesterday.
At Paramount, the Friends University
team defeated the Paramount team by a
score of to 0, while at the Fair Grounds
Wellington defeated the High school by
the same score. Both games were good
ones and the crowds were divided.
The Friends Paramount game was play
ed on the Paramount gridiron with only
q fair sized crowd in atten6.S &c, and
one young lady remarked that the rest
must be waiting for the five o'clock car
One noticeable feature was that there
were more OF the gentler sex among che
spectators than the sterner. From across
the river came goodly crowd Of Quaker
maidens wearing the scarlet and gray OF
their heroes, while the Paramount maid
ems simply turned out en- masse, all be-
decked with the yellow that their idols
were defending. 1t is unnecessary to say
that the two delegations did not mix
One gathered at one end Of the field, while
their rivals took their stand at the other.
Then they began TO yell. Whenever one
side would start, the other would make
an effort 10 drown them out. That was
the way the girls showed their love for
each other. Some of the girls who were
taking vocal lessons did not yell but oper-
ated fish horns. One brown haired Fair
mounter, dressed modestly in black, with
a big tin horn between her pretty lips
made more noise than all the rest. and
then complained because it sounded like
a cow.
II was late whsa the canvas-backs came
on the field and the kick of was made
at 1856. Just then young man walked
down the grounds inside the ropes. Jack,
On, Jack" cried two girls frsntically
waving a yellow flag at MIN He went
UP TO them
What did they let that man kick the
ball for?' asked the taller of the pair.
The fellow realized ne was in for it and
started to explain.
THAT was because the Quakers won the
toss and chose the east goal" said Jack.
But look, that Alexander boy caught
it and they threw him down.
"Yes, that's all right, you see they have
right to down man when ne catches
the ball and runs. He got it back to the
20 yard line before they caught him." an
sWered Jack sweetly.
"Oh," they both lisped, and then the
smaller one askA What IS the 20 yard
line"
Before he had chance to explain the
Quakers were carrying the ball down the
field by end runs and center shoves until
they were within four yards of their goal
line. The excitement was high and Jack
made a break for the end of the field,
but ne was promptly called back.
I'm have to go down and see how this
comes out" he said.
Who'll tell Us about the game them"
and the taller ones blue eyes were SO
pleading that stronger men that Jack
would have yielded.
While this was taking place, Baldwin
was sent through the line and made the
first touchdown in just eight minutes
from the beginning of the game. The
! Quakers failed to score goal.
"Oh, what have they done?" cried the
girls.
Jack told them with tears in his voice,
| and all three failed to see any music in
the victorious Quaker yell.
What does that count?'
"Five-for the Quakers."
"But what do our boys get?'
''They get nothing" growled Jack.
''Oh,' in unison from the others.
Then the game started again and the
| bal. switched from one side TO the other
with small gains and losses. Then the
! Quakers sent Baldwin through the center
! for Is yards and Alexander around the
end for 20 yards before they lost the ball.
Paramount punted p yards and recovered
the lost ground. The Quakers made an
| other center gain, and in return Fleming
| for the Hillites carried the ball around
the end. On the Quakers regaining pos
session of the pigshn, Torrey and Alex
ander went around the ends and had the
ball % yards in Fairmount's territory
when time for the first elalf was called
| Score 3 TO 0.
rs the game over?' asked the taller
blond in saddened tones.
NO, that Is just the first half. They
| viii play thirty minutes more after a
short rest" answer Jack impatently, and
he turned toward the players.
where are you going" MS fair captors
| demanded.
II want 10 see Isley. TIL be back IN a
few minutes" and ne started again.
Jack, come here, I want to tell you
something. II you don't come back, you
| needn't think red ear viii do you any
| good at the husking bee tonight" whis-
pered one Of them softly. Il is needless
1 to say that Jack went back. He was there
when the horns we're tuning up and the
| yells getting in action for the playing %
begin.
| In the second half the Paramount team
played more on the Offensive. Before they
had been defending their goal, now they
| made desperate efforts 10 reverse the or
der. Both sides did more punting and the
| gains were about even. Frank Hunter
was bruised in a scrimmage and retired
| from the game, being replaced BY Arnett-
At one time the ouakers had che ball
within Is yards of their goal. and tried
| punt for It. but was TOO low. and struck
| a player. The game ended shortly after
tnis with che bali in Fairmouni's terri
| tory. Final score TO Q.
TIE last seen OF Jack and hts chsrmeS,
they were slowly walking toward the DOR
| mIsory. He was trying 10 explain how {;
happened. The girls had unbuttoned theiI
| cer5se-colored. satin-lined Jackets TS1ougt
| defeated. they stin let their coIors hoai
| dehautly from their lapels. Apparently
they had lost all interest n whetAs,
there was q ausking bee chat nignt Q.
not. Il vas otherwise with Jack.
