The Sons of IchabOd Smother
Emporia College.

TOO HEAVY FOR THEM.
This Is the Explanation of
Captain CulbertsOn.
Coach OutIand Not Satisfied
With Washburn.
Had Plenty Of Ginger, However,
He Says.
90 HEAVY FOR THEM.

Washburn college stood up Saturday
afternoon and made a grade of "A"
and score of SO in It's first recitation of
the season, held in the presence of the
football representatives of the College
of Emporfa.
In stating ahat the Emporia repre-
sentatives We're present; the story of
their connection with the affair is
pretty thoroughly described. They
tried hard; they took hard knocks cheer
fully: they battled their best sor the
crimson and white: but they were
simply outclassed in weight, speed, and
training. Em2oria's team is just lit
tie above the Topeka high school class.
Just a year ago yesterday. on Sen
tember 80, 1904, Washburn went down
to E2nporia and beat the same college it
defeated yesterday by a score of 10 to 0.
Perhaps Emooria's team was little
stronger last year than this, but it is
certain that Washburn is stronger than
it was at this time a year ago. The
work is further advanced: the team
shows more speed; there is more spice,
dash and ginger in every lineup. On
paper the WaShburn team does not look
as formidable as it did last year; in
the field it is considerably more fierce.
Captain Culbertson, of Emporia,
says: Our team was weakened by the
loss of Parkman, 100 pound man,
Lehman, a $50 FOUNDER. and Marble, a
1870 pounder. Parkman and Lehman are
out on account of injuries; Marple is
not playing this year on account of
his heavy class work Washburn is
too heavy for us: our line could not
effective, for many of our Dunts were
blocked. We had relied on punting to
hold down the score"

very ragged; there was not the team
work I like to see. We had by far the
best Of it in weight. Our boys went
| into the game with plenty OF ginger,
and that's 4 good sign
Manager Stahl of Washburn has an
explanation he wants to make. He
says:
I'VE promised to start the game at
$3.50 sharp, and Washburn was ready
to start at that time. The Emporia
team arrived late on the field; this
+ delayed the opening kickoff. Wash
burn is going to do its part to start
games this fall promptly on time; un-
fortunately We can't control our op-
ponent's teams.
There was a crowd of about 500
people out at the game which for the
curtain raiser of the season was very
good. The Washburn rooters warmed
up to their work and gave the team
enthusiastic support. The medical
school was represented by a strong
delegation of Ioud-vOiced doctors-in-
embryo, and the laws We're also dong
their share of the yelling.
The second half of the game waS
played in a heavy rain storm which
din't hurt the players nearly as much
as it did the millinery in the bleachers.
Most of the crowd took refuge in the
covered grand stand at the end of
the gridirOn.
There were no serious injuries on
either side. Edison and Yeoman Of
the Emporia team, sustained cuts on
the heads, which made them look
good deal worse than they felt. Sharp
of Washburn went out with a
wrenched ankle which may keep him
/ on the sidelines for some weeks. There
was no wrangling; everything was
For Washburn. it is hard to COM
mend one of the players without TAX
ling a pot-shot at the whole outfit.
They all went in hard; they played

line uD of the first squad for the big
games to come. Williams and Hill
showed that they have improved over

land no rnista Ike. Tice handled the ball
well at quarter. Ware. the new

an aggressive game, breaking through

was entirely too much for King. and

and the big end runs of the day go to
his credit. Smiley also played well at
half and Johnson as sub-centers went
in hard. Munford and Haughey at the

them. Hartzell who took ShafpS

For Emporia the big end of the
work was done by Edison and Captain
+ Culbertson. If EmDoria had a team
/ of EidsOns, it would be a bad prOpo-
sition for any team to tackle.
In summarizing the game, it might
be said that Emporia made its five

through and gained just that distance.

Emporia had plenty of chances to
show its skill on offense. but it was
