Fighting stubbornly to the last minute,
Creighton University went down to de-
feat at the hands of the strong eleven
OF the KANSAS Aggies, on Creighton field
yesterday. Outplayed in many points of
the game, and outweghed five pounds to
the man, the local men still put up a
game that made the supporters OF the
blue and white proud Of them.
Straight foot ball was the manner in
which the Aggies won their game. Time
after time the heavy backfield of the
visitors would plunge through the Creigh-
ton line for gains Of from five to fifteen
yards, carrying the ball from their end Of
the field into Creighton territory. Big
holes we're torn In the Creighton line by
the backs on each Of these plays, the
local team finding It almost impossible to
stop them Creighton played open
inc Of defense suitable for the breaking
up of forward passes and open plays and
found the close order used by the Aggies
completely beyond them because they did
not keep up a secondorl line OF defense
On open play the Aggies we're outclassed
by far by the blue and white. End runs
and forward passes that several times
threatened to break away and make
score for Creighton we're in evidence and
on open defensive work the Omaha men
were perfect. stopping all the visitors end
runs with no trouble at all and grabbing
the ball on the forward passes In man
ner that showed they had been well
coached in this respect.
Both teams tried to aid their score by
kicking, Marrien OF Creighton trying a
place kick on the 25-yard line that almost
scored the three points for his team and
Bates Of the Jayhawers trying a drop
from the SO-yard line as a last resort
Just before time was called in the third
quarter.
Creighton Makes Big Gaia.

Creighton played the game OF his life,
tacklinK men and breaking up men with
a nelce energy that could not be re-
sisted. Hronek, the otner half, and
Cramer. the left end. also put up good
fight.
Kansas showed that the had been well
coached by the speed in which their plays
were formed and pulled off tor good gains
before the Creighton men had been able
20 solve them to break them up. one thing
that surprised the spectators very mucn
was the apparent simplicity Of the Jay

ones the local quarter called Inc BACK
