The result Of the game between St
Aary's and Washhurn last Saturday
afternoon at Mashburn park, was a
one-sfded score In favor Of Washbnrn
OF AZ to o. the largest which the Wash
burn team has succeeded in piiing UP
this season.
The game was a surprise to the To-
peka people who had expected Quig-
legs men to put up fast game against
Washbuln From the very first Of the
game. however. the Catholics md not
come up to expectations. This is the
second game which the ST Mary ;
! team has played away from home this
season and il is probably due great
deal To stage fright that the team was
50 badly defeatrd Nearly all the men
on the St Nary7s team are young and
inexperienced. Very rev men on the
team have attained the age OF 20 as
The st. AIary-s team was clearly out
classad from the first. This was es-
pecially noticeable on the defense. Con-
s trary to their usual custom Washburn
relied upon tackle swings TOR most OF
the gains. The Catholics were unpre-
pared for this kind Of 4 game as IS
Shown by the fact that they played

supeior IN weight and the blue line
was able to stop most Of the plays Of
the Catholics. The s.. Maryfs team

were forced 70 punt and in the punting
duel Milliee had vide margin over
Dillon.
The Washburn team entered into the
game with better spirit than at any
previous time this season, not even ex-
cepting the x It. game. The team
lee 11-7-
ETY. and eleven men figured in every
play. The work Of Williams was the
feature of the game. Williams 20 yard
return of a kickoff was the most brill
liant work OF the game Johnston also
played & great game His 80 yard buck
through the lire for a touchdown took
all spirit out eff St Maryis team.
For the Catholics. Walter Walsh was
the star Of the game. His tacktng was
the best on the St. Mary's team and he
was the only one on the team who
made any gains at all against the
Washburn team. Hendrix also played
hard game and was taken out in the
second half because of injuries
From a Washburn standpoint this
game is considered a sweet revenge for
Paramount. It was the Fairmount team
which played Washburn a couple weeks
ago and on a disputed decision of the
referee got away with the same in 4
the only team which has been able to
DEFEAT Paramount and they accomplish
ed this by a score offs TO o. s. Maryss
was in better form last Saturday than
ct any previous time in the season and
Washburn's defeat by q score Of AZ to
@, places the Paramount bunch. which
is still claiming the state champion
ship without having played Kansas I'M

Washburn team
The game while very spectacular and
filled with brilliant work by the Wash
burn team was filled with penalties.
Both teams were penalized repeatedly
because Of offside playing.
The only time in the game in which
ct. Afary's really showed much form
was in the second half when with a
series of quarterback kicks ana quar-
teFback runs they carried the bail 80
yards without losing possession.

lice pGnted nine times for 367 yards
which averages nearly Al yards per
punt. Dillon punted 257 yards which
gives him 81 yards for each punt.
Coach Ernest QuigIey of st. Mary's
said after the game:
The game in every department was
the biggest disappointment to me The
st. Mary's boys displayed the poorest
show with the possible exception of
Kansas university at St Louis.
''Washburn's touchdown coming as
X did so soon in the game took all the
aedEL out OF the Calholcsss they ap-
parently not being prepared for such a
poor showing on their part. then too
the three first plays used by St. Mary's
was all 'balled up
IT have no excuses to make except
that their playing might be attributed
to the fact that they were away from
home, vet they held X. u. to is points
on McCook field about six weeks ago
During the last five minutes Of the first
half, when they carried tht bah about
seventy yards on onside kicks only to
lose It, was the only time during the
entire game they showed any form.
