ENDED lNA DRAW.


S~1uduusa from rage Dusss
cloudy and threatening all day The
nigh wind which prevailed during the
morning subsided before the game COM
Eaeneed. but at the end Of the first half,
rain commenced to fail, and fell at in
tervals during the remainder Of the
game. It was not enough 10 bother the
players, bat it made it uncOmf0Ft bic
for the audience. The west grandstand
was well filed, and there were several
hundred on the east bleachers. Nearly
all the carriage stands We're occupied
The Washburn people in the west stand
did good job OF roofing, and several
carriages and automobiles on the
grounds were decorated with the silver
and gold Of Colorado. A delegation Of
% Bethany girls occupied some OF the
best seats in the west stand, and gave
their college yell-Whieh Is more ike q
song than a yell.
The officials gave excellent sat1s1ac-
ton. There was not a sign of COM
plant by either side.
Coach Castlenan of Colorado said at
ter the game: THE teams were evenly
matched, and the game was clean. fair
and gentlemanly. We were given the
best OF treatment by Washburn, ana
we appreciate it. The officials were per
feetIy fair. / believe that If the game
had been played under the old rules
we would have beaten Washburn with
out much difficulty, and I don't thing
there will be much dispute Of that opin-
ion. But we are not complaining. our
team came out Of the game IN fairly
good shape though toward the end the
heavy atmosphere was telling on our
men severely. I believe that by next
Saturday, we will be playing better
game than we did today, because the
men viii be more accustomed TO tne
climate. We expect to give Kansas uni
Versity a harder game than we dld
ETuc 51F we
did not use today"
Coach Weede OF the Washburn team
said after the game Saturday: on the
whole I am well pleased with the show
ing made by the Washburn team IN
the game Their OffenSe did not snow
up quite as well as I had expected II
would but on the defense they made
great showing considering the fact that
We we're outweighed at nearly every
position. I think we really ought 10
have scored in the first half ana was
a little disappointed when they dldn' L
However, on the whole I am very Wen
pleased with the showing made BY
Washburn.'
What Referee Quigley Says.
Referee E. c. Quigley, whose opin-
ion on the game will be OF great IN
terest as coming from one OF the pest
judges CT football in the state. and
man who views the game from dis
interested standpoint, says:
The game in every department was
what one would call an ideal game
Both teams while on offense seemed
determined to win and the other team
while on defense seemed doubly de-
termined that they would not gain.
Each man on both teams put UP
splendid exhibition Of football, while
the team work on neither team was
just what one would expect. Wash
burn, all through the game, seemed
stronger on open plays and runs, while
on the contrary Colorado was eXcep-
tionally strong on line plays, particu-
larry tackie-out-Of-ta plays.
''Washburn at one time failed to
score on account of play being
'balled up, while Colorado really failed
to win in the last half on account OF
ignorance on the part of the man who
made one free catch and then laid the
ball on the ground, thereby FORGETTING
his right to try for q goal from place
ment, also when a Colorado man again
to make a free catch and
signalling his intentions to make free
catch after he had caught the ball
Take it all in all from dope Wash
burn must have either played an ex-
ceptionaIiy good game, or Colorado has
been greatly overrated.
From what have seen of Wash
burn this year I think that had Mil
lice been IN the game Washburn
would have won. his south foot being
greatly missed. Captain Williams did
