in the second half. The Washburn

players were considerably elated over
the result of the game.

slowness of play. and was uninterest-

point, save for the individual work of
few of the players on both sides The
first half started with the regulars,
Hoff, Birney, Anamosa, Ardinger and
l. Anderson out OF the game. Their
places were filed by substitutes. The
Missouri team seemed to get together
well at times. and appeared to be
match for Washburn in this half. The
ball would move first into Missouri
territory and then into Washburn's
territory. Toward the middle of the
half WaShburn got to the Missouri's
30-yard line and here attempted a
place kick, but it flew wide. Missouri
then took the ball and by a series of
short but steady gains carried the ball
down the field to Washburn's 20-yard
line, where Washburn held and forced
Missouri to try a place kick which
fa1led. This practically ended play Of
the first half with the score 0 to 0.
Although the second half opened with
almost all the varsity men playing, yet
Missouri seemed to take a slump and
Washburn outplayed Missouri This
naIf was very much like the first and
was featureless except for a brilliant
run of 40 yards by Mehl who was tack-
led on Missouri's 1o-yard line by Smith.
Missouri held at this point, but only ad-
vanced the ball yards before it was
fumbled. Washburn then advanced the
ball by line bucks until Millice was
pushed over for a touchdown. This end

afterwards Washburn had possession of
the ball close enough to endanger Mis-
sourts goal, but Missouri invariably
| held. M1SSourpS chief weakness was in
her line. The Missouri men played high
and the WaShburn men invariably got
the charge on the Missouri men. Wash
burn had good team work occasionally
and her backs were fast and hard line
plunges. Her tackles were also strong
and their tackles around tackle plays in
variably resulted in good gains.
The stars of Washburn were Dadis-
man, Millice, Mehl, Lakin and Cunning
| ham; for Missouri. Nichols, Coons, Smith
and Haggard played the best game.
