Scared WasIbuEn Once.
Just a few moments after the second
half had opened the Mountaineers took
a sudden brace and made first down
three. successive times without punting

No Injuries.
The game was remarkable for the
lack of injuries sustained by either
team Probably four or five times,
time had to be taken out to give some
man a chance to catch his wind, but
so far as actual disabling injuries We're
concerned, there We're none. BIG
"VVillie" Williams left the game the
early part of the second half. He had
Dlayed like a battering ram on omense'
and like a stone wall on defense.
He put up great inside game though
little for the outside to see. The
coaches thought it advisable to take
him out because he was becoming
tired, and Etchens went to his place at
fullback. The remainder of the game,
however, lacked the daring smashing

Last Game for HilI and Caldwell.
Two Washburn stars ended their

game and defeat. They we're Captain

star negro. Both played magnificent
/ games. Caldwell got off brace OF
