goal. where Washburn tried and
missed a field goal The NOrmals
tried to run out the kick, but made
bad job of it. and the first scrimmage
was on the Norma1's 15-yard line.
Then by necessarily pounding the
/ Washburn center and tackles, En-
pOrla marched triumDhantly down the
! field, two or three yards at a clip. A
! well played delayed pass fooled the
/ Washburn right end, and cost Wash
burn Is yards. Cough (who pro-
nounces his name Gof) made a nice
/ 30yard run. and was pulled down on
the Washburn 20-yard line by the
I fullback. At last the Normals pushed
! the ball over the goal. H. Hargis is
the man who carried the ball over,
/ but he dropped it as he fell, and Ford
fell on it. So they shared in the
honor Of the touchdown. Goal was
/ kicked. Score: Washburn II, En-
poria 6.
! Washburn kicked off. and Emporia
4 resume its line bucking tactics. Cough
hung another IS yard run to his belt,
carrying the ball to Washburns 20
yard line. Two more plays advanced
! the ball yards, and there time was
called with another touchdown almost
4 in sight for the Normal.
People who had about made up tn cir
minds to go home, anticipating repe-
/
! decided that It was worth while to stay
and see the thing out
second Half.
Emporia sailed in with the confident
air of a team which sees victory al
most within reach But something
/ had happened to the Washburn line.
4 The holes were plugged, and big
Willie" the Washburn tackle, was the
plug. He backed up the line on de-
fense, and it was an inspiring specta-
/ Gle to the Washburn rooters to see that
! tOW-headed Indianian throw himself
! against the point of attack, and pile up
the Normals fierce tandem bucks.
4 Both sides were forced to punt fre-
/ quently but Washburn gained on every
! exchange. The Normal punting was
4 When the ball was on the Normal 80
/ yard line. White got away again, and
! there was no stopping him until he
/ had thrown himself behind the Nor
NAL goal. The time was Y minutes,
and Williams kicked the goal. Score,
I Washburn II, Normal 6.
! Now it was Wash burns turn to re-
/ sumo the role of cOnquerors, and big
/ gains by Tice, White, Millice and
! Sharp brought the bail quickly to the
! Normal yard line Here Hill re-
I tired from the game, Platt went to
/ tackle and Snattinger to center. Sharp
made the touchdown on the next
I plunge. It took 8 q minutes to make
| the touchdown, and goal was missed
/ Score, Washburn %, Normal g.
/ Washburn kicked off. and H. Hargis
/ made a nice return. But the Normal
/ failed to gain, and Dunted. Williams
and Millice had a collision trying to
| field the ball and the best Williams
could do was to fall on the ball. Wash
/ burn failed to gain, and Millice made
a long punt, which the Normal fullback
! fumbIed, and only managed to get the
/ ball on the Normal % yard line. Wash
I burn quickly took the ball on downs
! - % Ts--1
ed II yards, and then Washburn tried
and missed another field goal The
ball went out on the Normal 3 yard
line, and to save the goal, the Normal
was forced to punt. After a few more
exchanges, Millice was taken out of
the game, and Smiley went in. The
first thing he did was to get around
|he Normal left end for 80 yards. Wash
burn played a Quarterback kick, and
recovered the ball on the Normal u
yard line White went the distance for
a touchdown on the first Scrinma ge,
but was called back by Referee Quigley,
on the ground that the bail had been
put in play before the whistle blew.
Washburn then carried the ball over
for another touchdown by line bucks,
aided by q couple of 4 yard gains by
/ White. Platt made the touchdown; the
first he had ever made on the Wash
burn varsity and he was as ticlxled as
a boy with n new top The bali was
pllnted out and goal kicked Time, Z
minutes. and the score, Washburn %.
