VICTORY FOR BETHANY.
Defeated Kansas City Medics by
Score OF % to II.

Kansas City, Oct. 19-The Medics and
Bethany met for the first time in the
history of the schools on the Associa-
ton park gridiron Saturday afternoon
in what will probably be an annual
event and the Swedes won a brilliant
and almost sensational victory by a
score of % to IL. The defeat of the
local eleven came through meeting an
almost perfect football machine of sur
prising strength and speed. Coach
Benny Owens has built up an eleven
which is hardy aggressive and plays
the game along the finest lines, while
the Medics yesterday still showed a lack
of making the best of opportunities and
lcoseness a times.
The game from a playing standpoint
was one of the best that has been seen
in Kansas City for years. 1t was one
of those contests teeming with the
spectacular and hard honest football,
absolutely free from wrangling. It was
also a fast game. the time taken out

Nashville, Tenn. Oct 19.-The sale of

appointment to breeders in the south.
No one around Nashville, where he has

State Fails to Make Case Against
Pusch and Hausman.

5Sate EalIS TO MAKE case Against
Pusch and Hausman.
Marysville, Oct 19-The case of the
state of Kansas against Charles F..
Pusch came to an end in the district
court here. After the state had intro
duced all its evidence the defense made
a motion asking that the Judge instruct
the jury to return verdict of not
guilty. Judge Kimball sustained the
motion and the jury returned its verdict
in accordance.
The state failed utterly in esta bIishing
any case or in producing any evidence
against Mr.. Pusch. After the terminal
ton of this case the attorney general
Joined in asking the court to dismiss the
case against DR.. j. L. Hausman, as his
conviction depended upon the same tes-
tinony that had been produced in the
PuSch case.
On July Miss Kate Strohm died in
this city She had been an employe in
Charles f. Pusch's cigar factory for
several years. DR.. J. L. Hausman was
called to attend her few hours before
her death. Iausman certified that her
death was caused by inf1ammatory
rheumatism.
After her death Pusch and Hausnan
were charged with having caused the
death of Kate Strohm and We're arrest
ed on that charge. They waived exami-
nation and were bound over to court.
The trial exonerated them.

tumble by Griggs Caused Colo
radios First Touchdown.
Haskell Defeated by Nebraska
IL to O.

Boulder, Colo. Oct. 19.-Kansas de-
feated Colorado by a score of Il to II
Saturday, but the score does not show
how much the team from the Sunf1ower
state outplayed the Colorado eleven One
of the touchdowns scored by Colorado
was the result of a serious misp1ay on
the part of Griggs. who was playing
back for Kansas on the kick. He at
tempted to handle the ball on his TWEEN
ty-five yard line. but fumbled, and a
Colorado man who came down on the
punt picked up the ball on the bounce,
and was over the line before he could
be stopped. Griggs claimed that he had
heeled the ball for fair catch, but the
officials would not allow the claim. Tie
pail went over the goal line right at
the edge of the field, and this was the
only thing that saved the game for Kan
sas, as Colorado made a failure of her
effort to kick out for a better position.
With the encouragement or a huke
touchdown to work against, Kansas
buckled down to business and found the
heretofore impregnable line of the Colo
RADIO men for gains BY some of the
prettiest footballe ever seen in this part
of the west, the Kansas men carried the
leather from her flfty-yard line for a
touchdown Every inch was contested
by Colorado and as a usual thing It took
the three downs to make the necessary
five yards, but Kansas tore them off and
once free from the checkerboard and
able to play her guards and tackles back
she hammered the Colorado line to
pieces and scored a touchdown from
which a goal was kicked, giving her d
lead of one point.
The second touchdown scored by Colo
RADIO was more or less the result of cir
cumstances. By a well placed kick
Baker, kicking for Colorado, booted the
ball out of bounds at the Kansas five
yard line, and in this way giving Kan
sas no opportunity to run the play
back. Griggs then tried to kick out,
but made miserable effort the bah
going out of bounds before it had travel
ed five yards. 1t was then Colorado's
bail on the Kansas eight-yard line, and
three line plunges sent Colorado man
over. The goal was kicked this time,
and the final score was u to II in favor

was perhaps the best managed game in
this respect that was ever played in
Kansas City and the Medic manage
ment and police officers deserve much
credit.
In summing UP the game. the NEEDLES
played the better football for about
one-fourth of the game. right at the
beginning and. at the windup. The
doctors put UP a fine exhibition at the
start. but the Swedes' better condition
soon began to tell and they took up the
leadership. Determined to make a bet
ter showing the doctors came strong
again toward the last and spurted up
on even terms, if not taking the agrees
siVe. At the beginning of the second
half, however, seldom has a Medic team
secome so demoraEzed as did the saw
bones. The Lindsborg backs ripped
through the line for good gains on
every play and OutDlayed their opDon-
ents until it looked as though the score
would be run I'D much higher.
In contrast was Bethany playing a
steady game all the way through.
Never was there a break in the steady
machine-like play. and it was the SUI
perior team work and the always know
ing where the ball was that won the
game The Lindsborg backs were given
compact and fast interference that
made it almost impossible for the Medic
halves to break through. And with the
interference formed and off like shot
the men with the ball always followed
it and did not stop when tackled until
there were enough Medics on top of
them to bring two men down. This
was especially true when bucking the
line. The Swedes wiggled, squirmed
and twisted, and sometimes rolled, even
with one or two doctors cIinging to
them. The lineun follows:
