by using tne pldlH, uldQu1tcIdlOu
old style of football in h first half OF
yesterdays game. Coach Weede's
Washburn team succeeded in wrestling
a victory from the St. Mary's team by
a score of p to 6. The scoring on both
sides all transpired in the first half.
ST. Mary's scored on W~ashburn, on a
fuke play, however. With the ball on
the 20 yard line Haughey fumbled
and Maser grabbed it and ran to the
goal line for a touchdown. Haughey
seemed to feel that he had made a
| great mistake and after the game sned
| tears, but he played the game all the
way through in true warlike FASHION
and more than atoned for 1t In MS get
| ting down under punts and holding his
end solid against the Catholic on
slaughts. Glenn was one of the stars
of the game.
DR.. Bert Kennedy. coach of Kansas
university, and Manager Lansdon of the
same team, were spectators at the
game, having come up to get some
pointers on the Washburn style of play,
which is virtually setting this section
of the country on fire. Being aware or
the presence of these gentlemen, Coach
Weede instructed his men to play the
in the first half. But the day was hot
and the men were easily
Consequently they did not come pack
very strong in the second half ana

to work the %offense St Mary's came
back strong and had they played the
first half as they did the second, WASH
burns score might have been lower.
The much touted forward pass OF
was not called into play.
Hope tried a few forward passes but
they were of last years style n were
not the finished product OF this sea-
sons work which Coach Kennedy hao
hoped to see. What he didn't learn
about tn washburn style of play could
fill several volumes.
The Catholics at st. Marys are greas
rooters. Their work was a feature of
the game. At times their uproars were
deadening. Washburn had
about sixty rooters at the game, who,
considering their small umber were
handicapped, out did good work.
For Washburn it would be hard TO
pick a star player. or one VINO dld any
better work than another. The nam
ground gaining plays hinged on Piatt,
Williams and Johnston. All of these
men hit the ST. Marys line for consist
ent gains during the first half. M1ll1ce
is just getting into shape and 1sspiay-
ing the best game he has ever played
in his career In the gameshe was AL
quick to see a hole axd hts%keen-
ness in his regard netted
good gains. Boles played his usual good
game and Smiley who took his place
distinguished himself by his running
with the ball and in returning punts.
Ropb played a great game until he was
hurt and had to be taken out of the
game. Glenn Haughey gave about the
best EXHIBITION of playing end that has
been seer this season Notwithstanding
his tumble.
Coach Quigley has a much huskier
lunch at his school than was expected.

entirely composed of new men they are

Williams held his own in good

n the %punting of the two. Maser who
made the touchdown played good ball
