Three times they lost the ball to
| Washburn players, however, which
about balanced the success of the pass
Where Washburn made her greatest
showing was on end runs by the
halves and McCarroII and on the quick
split bucks on the line. These latter
seemed to discomfort the Tarkio de-
Tense and invariably went for from
three to 3 yards. Burkhart made the
greatest showing in this style of play
and his finding of holes seemed won
derful. The little half is just waken-
ing himself and Saturday would have
been hard to beat anywhere in the
valley Hardy, the speedy left half did
not get his usual chances, but got
away with a few good end runs after
being brought bach many times on
some ground for penalty
Another great advantage taken by
McCarroll was his ability to outl1ick
his opponent Nine punts averaged SO
yards while six purlts by Withrow and
Elder averaged but 81 yards Added to
that advantage were McCarrolTs long
returns, several of 80 yards
Washburn PenaIized Heavily
Washburn suffered heavily on pen
alties, losing Ito yards on off side,
holding and illegal interference
! charges Tarkio was penaIized S5
yards for holding and off side play
The first quarter started with a
forward pass rush by Tarkio toward
the goal line Two good passes were
made in succession Then McIntire
broke through and spilled play be-
hind the line Then another pass was
made to Brooks Hardy was sent in
| by Stewart to replace Tomlinson who
| had started the game Washburn held
them for downs and McCarron punted,
| Mcintosh recovered the ball Then
! began the smashing of the Tarkio line
| and Burkhart was sent through time
after time working hall deem into
| Missouri territory. Three Is yard pen
alties kept the Blue from going over
and the quarter ended with the ball
| on the eight yard line.
| Beginning the second quarter, Burk-
hart was sent over the line on a de-
layed pass and McCarroll kicked goal.
| Another punt by McCarroll was re-
| covered by Rogers and the march to-
| ward the goal was begun Hardy,
Burkhart, McCarroll and Rogers.
Hardy was given the ball at the 20
yard line, but was thrown for a loss.
| Whitcomb could not make it back and
McCarroll passed unsuccessfully, Tar
kio getting a touchback and punting
from the 25 yard line. Once more the
| WaShburn backs began their attack
and worked their way toward the goal
penalties in numbers hindered their
progress and they were unable to
reach the destination.
In the third quarter Tarlkio kicked
turned it with punt Captain withrow
fair caught It and he kicked a goal
from placement from the 40-yard line
| Washburn then kicked off and for the
rest Of the quarter hid the ball most
of the time without being able to gel
across. A punting duel closed tbs
period.
In the final section Washburn AGAR
held the ball most of the time. Cap
tain Withrow had to get out because
Of injuries. McCarroll brought the bal
to a drop kick position by splendid
return of a punt caught in another
T lting and pass duel. He kicked his
goal from 80 yards and cinched the
score. Tarl1io had one more chance ri
a field goal but a bad pass spoiled tbs
try. To close the game the Blue tried
a succession of forward passes in ar
endeavor to score. The passes failed
however, when one was intercepted By
Tarkio and punted out Of danger.
