Game Is Not Characterized by
Brilliant Work.

Steady, consistent football enabled
Washburn to take advantage of the
Missouri Wesleyans' miserable defense
and register a SO to victory Saturday.
The game was not characterized so
much by the brilliant plays of the
Washburn backfeId as by the slow
work of the visitors Washburn usually
got away under good interference be-
fore the Missourians could start. The
Congregationalists We're more fortunate
with the forward pass and on an ex-
change of punts, McCarroll held an ad-
vantage of 10 to 15 yards over Coe.
The greater part of the game was
played in Missouri territory and only
twice did Wesleyan show spurts of
strength and make good gains. In the
final quarter Missouri recovered the
ball on her 40 yard line and a series
of good line plunges took the oval to the
blues so yard line. Here Coe tried
forward pass. but McCarroll broke it
up. Once in the early stages of the
game the visitors camped on WASH
burns 20 yard line, but were unable to
score.
Hardy was not in the game and De-
Frantz retired in the second half. The
individual work of McCarroll, Burk-
playing, while COe was easily the star
actor for Missouri. Harrington, a new
Washburn end, showed great form in
tackling. Coe was injured near the
close of the game, but continued to
manage the team.
The attendance was small and the
game from the standpoint of fast, snap
Ply playing was lacking in interest.
