punted. On the first play attempted
Washburn was penalized Is and McCar-
roll punted again. Bates returned 10
and after short gains by Christian and
Croyle placing the ball on the 30-yard
line, Bates dropped a neat goal and
the score was Is to 0.
The next touchdown of the half was
made by Christian on a neat delayed
pass. By a succession of double passes
and end runs and a forward pass to
fowler, which he fumbled and Wash
burn should have recovered, the Ag-
gies got the ball on the Blue 5 yard
line. A tackle swing was called and
the line piled up as Christian took the
ball for a wide end run and was tao
killed. as he fell over the line. He was
hurt in the play and Speer took his
place. Bates added goal. The kick
ing quarter tried another drop kick
before the end of the half, but the kick
went wide and Washburn had the ball
on her own 30 yard line when the half
closed. Score 81 to 0.
Two more touchdowns were made
in the third quarter. Hardy was in
the game for Washburn in place of
Tomlinson BUT could make no get

A succession of end runs brought the
farmers near the Blue goal again and
over the goal line past the Washburn
tacklers. Goal was kicked. Here
Washburn strengthened and worked
the ball back to the Aggies 80 yard
line where Bates got possession and
called a pass formation to the inside
of the field. 1t was plain to all but
the Blue team what would happen.
Bates ran toward his side line and
cleared the field to a touchdown run
ming so yards. Then he kicked goal.
The score was 33 to 0.
For the remainder Of the quarter
and through all the succeeding quarter
Washburn held the Aggies rushes and
end skirts safely. The Blue seemed
to have learned the game and played
good ball back. Penalties invariably
thwarted the Blue when they were
carrying the ball forcing them to punt
McCarroIl punted 10 times for a to-
tai of $50 yards or SO yards average.
Bates punted five times for 165 yards
or an average of 80. Washburn held
the Aggies for the ball three times and
forced them to punt and pass fire.

field for downs innurnera BILE.
The Aggies returned six punts for

It was weak tackling primarily
which hindered the Topeka players
from a better showing. The Aggies
certainly should have been forced to
legalize their interference.
Conditions Not Equal.
While the defeat by such an over
whelming score brings criticism to the
Washburn team and coach. more critic
ism is due the athletic board and
schedule makers for playing the game
under the terrible handicap of the Mis-
souri, valley rules. To send a bunch Of
young players against the old heads
who have worked together steadily for
their fifth year is suicidal. The Aggies
roOters marched the field to a funeral
march for Washburn between halves
