seventeen times, allowing it to strike
| the ground four times and four other
times taking penalties for shooting thu
| ball over the center of the line. On the
| successful use of the forward pass how
| ever Paramount gained 140 yards In
| the matter of penalties Paramount Suf-
| fered severely, most of them being fol-
| Illegal use of the forward pass. The
| visiting team received 100 yard penal
ties during the game Washburn was
penalized once for rough playing and
the ball was taken back half way to
| Was hburn's goal
! Smiley, who started the game at full
| back, deserves a good deal of credit for
his work in the position which was new
to him. He did not do much line
around the ends and in the back field
on defenses he played great ball He
| showed some unfamiliarity with the
duties of his new position but despite
this fact for his first attempt he put
up a great game. After Boles was ta-
ken out on account of injuries in the
second half Smiley had to be shifted to
half and Johnston played full. Johnston
did not have much of a chance to run
with the ball but his injured leg did
not seem to bother him greatly. The
entire team came through the game IN
good shape. Robb did not play the full
game. He received several hard knocks
and as he has not been in good phySi-
cal condition all season he was taken
out so as not to be hurt for the Okla
CHINA game.
AS result of the Washburn victory,
the state championship goes to Wash
burn without a doubt. AS it now stands
there is no doubt as Washburn has
met all the contenders and has strewn
their laurels along the wayside. There
is talk of a post season game with Ne
braska to determine the middle west
championship but of course 1T won't
be played. $500. 81, .-.--.. ..--...

The entire second half was devofd OF
scoring. Both sides played a fierce
game. 1t was played up and down the
field with the territory about eV-nly
divided. Both sides approached the
goal line but were unable to cross. A
forward pass unsuccessfully worked,
giving the ball to the other side and
then long punt removed all possibti-
Ties of scoring Washburn go- near
enough in the half for Hope to attempt
a drop kick from the twenty-eignt yard
line but the ball went wide. The rest
of the half was for the most part I'M
