| Myers starred for the Jayhawkers. All
three showed up well, and rarely ever
failed to gain ground when called
upon.
The advantage of a larger squad
| helped Kansas a lot. In the second
| half when the backs who had rolled
up the score in the first half were
| showing signs of fatigue they were re-
| placed with fresh men, men who were
every whit the peers of the men who
started the game. Bond Waring and
Houghton made big gains in the sec
ond half and Steele the diminutive
quarter made a fine showing when he
took Johnson's place.
The work of several of the Wash
burn team against the tremendous
odds was great. Smiley surprised the
Kansans by his work in the open field
and made several brilliant returns of
punts. And Smiley gained some
ground with the forward pass. Nc
Vey handled punts we'll and prevented
many gains by the KansanS. Larimer
went down the field fast under punts,
and nailed the Kansas safety men
with frequency. Robb as long as he
was able to be in the game made some
hard tackles and proved a strong
barrier to the Jayhawkers.
The work of the officials was be-
yond criticism and their fairness at
many times prevented rough playing.
Not once was there an argument be-
tween officials and players.
Saturday night in Lawrence was a
night of rejoicing For six years
Washburn has been a dreaded oppon-
ent and honors have been about even.
Washburn is not considered a rival in
Lawrence. She is an enemy. and with
the enemy vanquished, there was
nothing left but rejoicing.
The paid attendance at the game
was 2,770. The free list brings the at
tendance up to 5000.
''The best team won," is the way
Coach Weede nHlimented the Grim
son at the end of the game. I'VE were
entirely Outclassed and not once did
we have a chance to win. We had of
course expected to put up a better
game. but we did our best and that is
all any team can do
Coach Kennedy of the Jayhawker
team spent Saturday in Omaha,
watching the hard game between the
Ames team and Nebraska university.
Kansas plays Nebraska next Satur-
day at Lincoln. and will have a hard
are pulling for Kansas and hope to
see the Kansas champions, champions
also of the Missouri valley.
The Kansas team was under the di-
rection of Assistant Coach Arthur St
Leger Mosse. "If the Kansas team
had the Washburn spirit. I wouldn't
be afraid of any team in this section"
said Mosse, "for although they were
hopelessly outclassed, they never laid
down.
1.-THE game surprised me-" said Ref
cree Masker, who has seen both teams
work in previous games. 1.-THE long
rest of the Jayhawkers put them in
fine trim and IL they can improve as
much during the coming week they
will give Nebraska team a mighty
close rub
