WE'RE TWICE IN LEAD.

Much Interest in Saturdays
Game at Topeka.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 2S.-MannaI-
tan certainly had K. u. guessing for at
least two-thirds of Saturdays game on
McCook field. The AggieS were ahead
at three different times, twice in the
first half, and once in the second halt
Toward the close of the game, how
ever, Manhattan began to weaken and
with two field goals K. U. finally ran
the score up to 20, while the state col
lege team had to content itself with
one touchdown and a field goal, max
Ing its score 10 points. although an
other field goal was barely missed by
the Aggies in the second half.
s Cunningham was the star for the
college team and an accident causing
him to leave the field just before the
close of the first half greatly weakened
his team. Quarterback Bates also play
ed a good game for Manhattan, but the
poor tackling of the whole team was lis
%orst fault.
Angney, K. US little quarterback.
was the bright particular star or the
afternoon. Time and again he sk1rted
the ends or shot through the line Tor
good gains. K. U. also used the quar-
terback kick to great advantage, max
ing much ground on this play.
The entire Washburn squad took in
the game and no doubt secured some
valua BILE pointers. On comparison of
the two teams so far this season. Wash
burn certainly has the better chance
to win the state championship next
Saturday, but you can never tell. K.
U. will of course play much better
football when it lines up against the
blue. However, it is certain Washburn
would have defeated K. .. decisively
on the game the latter put up Satur-
day. Nobody expected the Aggles to
win, and on the other hand the see-saw
score until well into the second half
made the game mighty interesting.
The K. U.-Washburn game next Sat
urday should be one of the best to be
played in the Missouri valley this sea-
son, and with good weather will draw
~ L. - hot n a q n
game in Topeka. The following details
of Saturdays contest will show how
Manhattan made K. U. work to finally
make the victory a decisive one:
The Aggies kicked off and 1t took six
minutes for the Kansas squad to work
the ball within striking distance of the
goal. Here, on the Farmers twenty
yard line the Jayhawkers attempted u
forward pass. The ball fell square in
Cunningham's arms, and with an open
field before him he reeled off eighty
yards to a touchdown and Bates kick
ed goal. Fighting like dem to even
the score the Jayhawkers pushed Cald-
we'll over for their first touchdown
we'll toward the latter part of the half.
Forter missed goal. By quick work
they again worked the ball down with
in striking distance and the time being
nearly up Ferter booted a pretty field
goal. This ended the first half with
the score K. U. 9, Manhattan 6.
After about ten minutes of play in
the second half Rice dropped a punt
on the Kansas ten-yard line, Manhat-
tan securing the ball. Two line bucks
failed and Bates dropped back and
booted neat field goal, again putting |
the Aggies in the lead, 10 to 9. Then |
came Angney's magnificent work |
which resulted in a touchdown. By |
this time the Farmers were pretty |
well tired out and for the remainder
of the game the Jayhawkers had it all |
their own way, White duplicating his
performance a line buck and /
Forter negotiating another field goal.
