success was past. Hardy ran 45 yards
TO a touchdown, but Heinzman, as lines
man, had just started to the sideline to
see what Coach Hargiss of the Emporia
bunch was yelling about and explain
ed that he had blown his whistle rem
derfng the ball dead. The touchdown
was disallowed and Hargiss found to
be wanting the grandstand to keep
quiet and the sideline to be cleared
In the last quarter the forward passes
of the Presbyterians were of no avail
and Titus, Tomlinson, and Mcfarland
tore through their line at WILL scoring
two more touchdowns and one goal.
Penalties assessed were comparative
ly few. Referee Sampson, coach of the
Emporia. normals, penalized Coach Pep
per Stewart. once for a sideline re-
mark, called Mcfarland for tackling be-
fore the receiver of a forward pass had
got a good start and sent L. Bracken of
Emporia off the field for foul language.
Coach Hargiss had evidently forgotten
to tell his proteges what to do in case
of a try at field goal failure so when
they stood paralized at Tomlinson's at
tempt, he took occasion to step out
with the advice to run with the ball
Heinsman heard him. blushed a little
and begged pardon for noticing it, but
did not declare a breach of etiquette
On another occasion, an Emporia play
er left his line of Scrimmage on an IL
legal play and drew a Washburn man
offside- Sampson penalized Washburn
for the offSide but Umpire Cowden fail
ed to assess damages for the illegal
play of six men left on the Scrimmage
line, one running toward his own goal
The game was not so much of a
contest judged from its excellence but
as an indicator of prospects and test of
the forward pass. The forward pass
is easily the easiest way in the world
to play football. The back who throws
the ball can not be reached and the
receiver dare not be tackled until he
has securely tucked the ball under his
wing and started to run. That restric-
ton causes the defense to play loose
and back so that a good gain is almost
certain from a run by the intended
passer.' But if the pass is made sue
cessfully there is twenty yards for
nothing. The penalty for a failure is
nothing but one down. Possession
of the ball is retained and the bail is
put in play just where it was snapped.
Field basketball would be the proper
name for the forward pass.
That the Washburn team will have
to do a great deal to its defense was
clearly demonstrated and the other
conclusion to be drawn is that Emporia
college has the snappiest and best team
in its history.
The south side stands were com
pletely filed with rooters and north
held a scattering hundred. The next
