better team than Washburn. That's all
there is to it,"
Coach Weede Of Washburn said: The
score should have been Is to IL. I don't
think D. U. has as much better team
as the score would indicate. The second
touchdown should have been a touch

speed d. U. had little trouble making
another touchdown. Then they went
right on with our men feeling they were
not getting all that was coming tC
