Washburn made enc touch down in
the first half and one in the second.
Manhattan made one touch down in the
second half. but failed of goal
Fhe result of the game is distinct
disappointment to the followers Of the
blue. Coach Outland expected d hard
game but not such a contest as that
put up by the farmers. In fact it was
little more than accidental that Wash
burn was not defeated. In the first half
Manhattan made successive gains
through Washburn's line until the ball
was only three yards from the Wash
burn goal when a tumble lost the farm
ers the ball and the chance OF scoring
in that half was lost as Washburn i'm
mediately punted out of danger.
The Sons of Ichabod We're unable to
gain through the farmers line and the
first touch down was made by a bril-
liant end run of % yards by White.
A thrilling incident in the second
half gave Washburn the second touch
down. The Farmers had already
scored and had worked the ball to
Washburn's IS yard line when with
one second to play Manhattan tried a
field goal The Farmers line failed to
hold and Captain Hill broke through
blocked the kick and picked up the
ball. He started for run of IS yards
down the field. Nallon tackled high
and the big doctor easily distanced the
other members of the team and won
the second touchdown.
The game was married by wrang-
ling.
The members of the Manhattan
team and students are very much
pleased at the excellent showing made
by the Farmers. They kept the ball
in Washburn's territory more than
half the time. Both teams appeared
to be weak on defensive.

Hyndman Does Some Good Work
for EmpOria.


Emporia, Kan. Oct 1.-THE foot
ball team of the University of Kansas
defeated the state Normal school
here this afternoon by the score of
81 to 0. At no time was the Jayhawk-
er goal in danger. The Normal de-
tense was at critical times wonderful
" strong but they were seldom able to
Withstand the terrific line plunges that
the Kansans threw a gainst their
guards and tackles. The local ofense
was brilliant in one spot, the line
plunging and hurdling of their full
back. Hyndman
The game was clean and the work
of the officials was satisfactory.
Both teams played fierce game
from the first kick off. Kansas had
plenty of encouragement from the
students of the College of Enporia.
The JayhaWkers We're playing in ex-
cellent form and their team work was
of the best. The change of Myers and
Drummer, the latter going to full back
was a good ore and their work made
the Kansas Interference impregnable.
The visitors defense was always in
the way of the Emporia men except
at times when Hyndmans wonderful
aggressiveness would make a deep
cash in the red and blue line. The
visitors head work was a feature.
They saw every hole and took advan-
tage of every weakness the Normal
men showed. Kansas played a steady
game all through. The score at the

The game proved conclusively that
the Manhattan team is in Wash burns

death OF many swimmers.
Just when and where this fallscy hrst obtained

medical men who have interested themselves In the
subject will bear me out In this statement.
There never was . swimmer whose drowning
was due to cramps. Not only are drowned people
unable to state the cause. but no autopsy and no
