DEFEATED BY ST. MARY'S.
Campbell College, No Match for the
Fast Catholics.

ST. Marys, Kan, Oct. 2s.-St. Mary's
scrubs won from Campbell college In
a warm contest on the local gridiron
Saturday afternoon by score of is to
TO- The Catholics played all around
Campbell in the first half, scoring three
touchdowns and one goal, but in the
second half the visitors got on their
mettle and ran through St. Mary's for
a touchdown and a successful place
kick for goal. The playing of Bennett,
st. Mary's quarterback, was the feature
of the game.
st. Mary's speed took the visitors off
their feet in the beginning of the first
half and before seven minutes of play
had elapsed scored their first touch
down. The other two scores followed in
quick succession, two of the goals be-
ing unsuccessful, however. The visitors
put up a strong defense but the Cath
olics were too speedy and worked end
runs to a good advantage. Campbell
was forced to punt repeatedly to save
it's goal and covered its punts well,
procuring the ball almost invariably.
The glue fingers of the visitors were re-
markable, and were responsible for the
absence of fumbleS.

fifteen yards from the side line, the
ball cleared the cross bar with twenty
feet to spare. 1t was the cleverest
drop-kick ever seen on the Nebraska
field Two minutes later Sterritt FUN
bled one of Weller's high punts and
Chaloupka, Nebraska's husky right
tackle, clutched the oval and sprinted
forty. yards for a touchdown. Colo
RADIO fought back with rare spirit, and
made several first downs. A neat for
ward pass to Coffin, who ran thirty
yards, put the ball we'll within Ne
braska territory and Sterritt's place
kick cleared the bar. The Westerners
finished the first half strong and were
outplaying the Cornhuskers easily on
straight football.
Nebraska's brace in the final half
clinched the result in Nebraska's
favor. Capturing the ball in midfield,
the Cornhuskers gave the first intima-
ton that they really possessed an Of
Tense. Charging straight ahead, they
smashed their way through the line,
never ceasing until Captain Weller had
crossed the Colorado goal. A place
kick by Weller from the 40-yard line
soon added four more points to Ne
braska's total, and later Sterritt fol-
lowed with his second place kick. Col
orado worked for the forward pass
frequently and for good gains, while
the Cornhuskers fearing the presence
of Ames and Kansas scouts, confined
themselves under orders from Coach
Cole to straight football. The wealth

PRINCETON GETS A SURPRISE.
Defeated by Cornell in Very Close
Game.

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 28.-CornelPs vic
tory over Princeton Saturday by score
of 6 to will go down in Corneils
football annals as the most remarkable
sridiron struggle in the history of
Percy field. The first half, in which
neither scored, was continual punt
ing duel between Valdez for Cornell
and Harlan for Princeton, in which the
Cornell man had the decided advantage.
At no time during the spectacular
struggle in the half did the ball ap-
proach near enough to either goal than
the 5 yard line.
valdez was responsible for the only
Cornell touchdown and clinched the VIC
tory for the Ithacans by Kicking the
goal The Princeton score was a huke.
WaIder was blocked in a punt on the
20 ward line and the ball rolled to the
very corner of the gridiron, where
Booth bounced on it. To many of the
spectators it appeared as though the
hall had gone out of bounds. Phillips

Carlisle 26. PENNSYLVANIA 6.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S-Carlisle IN
dams 26, Penn 6. This score tells the
relative strength of the two teams in
their football game on Franklin field
Saturday afternoon. Twenty-Five thou
sand persons paid extra prices for
tickets in order to gloat over the down
fall of the red men, but they did not
have a chance to exult, except to-
wards the close of the game, when
tumble enabled the red and blue to
score a touchdown and avert a shut
out.
From the Pennsylvania standpoint
there was not one redeeming feature
and the coaches had their much
Wanted aggregation torn to pieces in
line plays, and their ends completely
fooled on forward passes. Time and
time again the Indians gained ten to
fifteen yards on their long passes, and
most of them played like a lot of
schoolboy novices.
When 'Pete" Hauser kicked a goal
from placement from the fifteen yards
line in the first eight minutes of play,
he sounded Pennsylvania death
knell, for that reverse took away half
of their confidence and rendered them
easy victims. In order to crown his
herculean efforts with glory, Hauser
repeated his feat from the forty-yard
line for the final score of the day, and
he was carried off the field by a happy
band of Indians at the end of the
game. The QuakerS had been led to
believe they had an excellent chance
of beating the Indians, but they were
misled, the red men having weight
and speed on them. The latter were
also much surer in handling the ball
and they thoroughly earned their VIC
tory by means of superior football
playing.
Carlisle scored three times in the
first half. Hauser kicked the goal from
placement and a few minutes later
Hendricks grabbed up the ball when
Hollenbach fumbled on the Indians
ten-yard line. Hendricks flew down
the field for one hundred yards for a
which Umpire Edwards
disaHowed, but Referee Corbin over
ruled him and allowed the score
Mount Pleasant kicked the goal, and
repeated the trick when Payne made
a touchdown from a blocked kick by
HolIenbach. That ended the scoring
in the first half, the total being: In
dams, 16; Pennsylvania, 0.
The red and blue made better de-
Tense for a time in the second half,
but the Indians were not to be denied,
and after an exchange of kicks, there
was a nlixup behind the Pennsylva-
mia goal line. When the tangle was

had it's football slate blotted for the
second time this season by failing to
win from the Springfield training school
by a greater score than to 5. The
Springfield eleven used the forward
pass a score of times successfully. After
the beginning of the second half with
the game at a standstill Burr, for Har-
ward, fell back to Harvard's ten yard
line and attempted to punt, but the ball
was blocked by Springfield, Harvard re-
covering it. Again Burr dropped back
to punt and Briggs repeated his block
ing Cotton picking UP the ball and run
ming behind Harvard's goal for a touch
down. The goal was not kicked.
During the remainder of the contest
the Harvard team worked their oppon-
ents harder, Appolonio, for Harvard,
making a touchdown and Burr kicking
a goal from the field.

On the other hand the Topeka team
played great game. The forward pass
proved to be the greatest ground gamer
for the locals and in fact was about the
only play used during the entire game.
The Topeka high school team has the
forward pass worked down pretty well
and with double and even triple passes
were able to use it effectively on the

After Topeka had scored a touchdown

seemed to lay completely down. The
team lacked the proper spirit and show
ed no symptoms of the school spirit
which fills the columns of high school

captain, played a stellar game. The
little quarterback handled the team

Willard kicked nine goals. In the line
Holmes was the star. On the defense
he was able to break through and block
nearly every Leavenworth play and on
the offense was twice able to buck over

For Leavenworth there were no stars,
but the work of Shaker showed up
well. He was in every play for his
team which is more than could be said
