Score of ii to 6.
ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE
Both Teams Put Up Decided
Iy Interesting Game

Friends University won. Fairmount
College went down in defeat by a score
Of IL to s. It's oolors which have proudly
waved ali this season, yesterday trailed
In the dust. Battered and bruised the
defeated warriors limped of the field
VITA the satisfaction Of knowing that
the yhad made a good fight
Never before in wichita was there
such crowd at a football game. over
100 persons smged UP and down the
side lines shouting like madmen when
ever good play was made. The major
ity Of the mdid not seem to care which
side won but simply wanted to cheer the
vlctors.
sprlnaad through the crowd were
groups Of college boys and girls and
whenever good play was made the old
familiar ''ra-h-rah-rah" rang out with the
vigor and power which only youthful
enthusiasts can give it,
ARfter the first touchdown was made
ii was practically Impossible to keep the
people of the gridiron They swarmed
around the players and more than once
the game had to be stopped while the
special police struggled with the crowd
and endeavored 10 clear the field so the
teams could have room to pay.
Football stock IN Wichita has gone up.
It is mounting higher than favorite
stock in a speculative market. Old busi-
ness men Who had never before seen a
Odern football game went out against
children and before the game was fairly
on We're jumping up and down and yelling
like Indians
Both teams trOtted on the filed shortly
after O'Clock While they were warm
ing up the supporters of both teams
tested their lung power and took turns
IN giving their yeils. When the lineup
took place a sudden quiet prevailed, but
only for a moment. and then the clamor
brought broke out more intense than ever
as a canvas-elad player grabbed the ball
and was downed in his tracks.
Down the field the striped stockened
Fairmount players carried the bah Line
bucks succeeded end runs. The Friends
University team was carrie don its feet
by the rapid play of the Paramount boys
and inside four minutes touchdown was
made. Across the field surged the spec
tators and Fairmount stock went I'D
with a jump. The goal was kicked and
the College Hiu crowd yelled itself
hoarse.
GrimIy the Quakers strove to stem the
progress OF the Fairmount team Twice
in succession they were forced down the
field and two touchbacks were made in
rapid succession. Once Fafrmount came
within ana ace Of kicking goal from the
Quakers twenty-yard line. The ball
hurtled toward the goal, and. swerving
slightly passed jut outside the post
Theend OF the first half was a welcome
tntermission for the Qua6ers. Fairmount
had the bali on her dfteen-yard line and
within q few moments another touch
down would have been made beyond
doubt
Determination was plain upon the faces
Of the Quakers when they lined up for
the second half shoulder TO shoulder
they crouched low and when the signal
was given, dashed with irrestible force
upon the Fairmount line A hole was
made and through Sc rushed a Quaker
Tor a dve-yard gain.
Drawn and muscle were brought into
play. The Fairmount line was battered
and pounded, Five and ten yards at
q time the Quakers forced their way
toward the coveted goal Several times
they were stopped but they stood their
grounds; obtained the BAN again on
Downs and marched down the field The
Quakers formed their interference at the
ten-yard line. and brushing aside Fair
mounts rghtend pushed the full5ack
across the line for a touchdown. Goal
was not kicked but the Quakers jubllated
none the less
Once more Paramount took heart
Campbell the right haifback had been
doing yoeman service an through the
game and he wa saea'n pushed into SER
vice Several times he skirted the ends
for good gains. but The team behind him
was tired and they were stopped before
they made much progress.
The bail fell into the hands az the
Quaksgs Hoyt the fuI5ack, was brought
into service and sent against the FAIR
mount line time and again. Not once did
