Coach Kennedy. who has made Wash
burn champion of Kansas colleges. IS
the second ex-K- L. man to lead Wash
burn to victory over the state univer-
sity. Bonnie Owens was the other. in
1900.
SPEAKING of the result of the game,
Coach Kennedy said Saturday evening
before he started back to Lawrence to
tell his wife the good news:
.'WashburE beat K. L. just the way
the Indians did. We played them off
their feet right at the jump. and then
sawed wood the rest of the game. We
beat them because we played low, and
stopped their line bucks. My candid
opinion is that Washburn outplaved
X L. all through the first half. and
that they outplayed US on straight foot
ball in the second half. Good punting
saved us in the second half. The game
was Dlaved exactly as we had planned
to play it; the boys did their work just
as had told them to do it, and we won.
But don't want to take the credit for
the victory: it belongs to these Wash
burn boys; they did splendidly. and [
can't cOngra tulate them too highly
Il Z; outweighs us from 10 to 10
pounds per man. If we had had a good
field. I believe we would have won by
a more decisive score'
Coach Weeks of K. Z. was not a bit
talkatiVe after the game Saturday 1t
was a hard blow for him, and will
darken his career as coach at the uni
Versltv- A State Journal reporter
asked him how he would explain the
defeat which his team had sustained.
He said: "Humphi haven't anything to
say. Say I didn't expect it There
wasn't any team work. I've got to co.

on the Srst train.

they didn't get together. 1 don't know
what was the trouble. We should have
won the game, and if K u had played
ball we could have done it,
GREAT DEFENSIVE GAME
With at least LOO pounds advantage
in weight K L. was held for downs five
times and thrice forced to punt. This
tells the eloquent story of Washburn's
splendid game on defense. On the other
hand, K L. got the ball on downs only
once, but Washburn punted seven times
The game was won by superior defense
and by the wonderful punting OF Millice
who sent the soggy. plastered ball 30
yards at nearly every attempt
Washburn's only score was made by
playing K. u. off it's feet at the start
OF the game before the men became so
caked with mud that speed was i'm
possible. When Washburn had gained
the K. q. 10 yard line, Caldwell kicked
the mud-soaked oval over the cross bar
for the only score of the game. It was
a grand football achievement to kick a
football weighing ten pounds with such
speed and accuracy. The first five min
utes of play showed what Washburn
might have done to K. Z. had there been
no mud.
After scoring the goal, Washburn play
ed on defense throughout, and right well
it did the work. K u was never closer
than 20 yards of Washburn's goal and
never far into Washburns territory in
the first half Dadisman and Caldwell
bore the brunt of this magnificent de-

ed up the line and charged in where the
