washburn Ends Beat Wentworth

For the first time in three
years a Wentworth football team
met defeat Friday afternoon
when the Washburn second team
gave the cadets the little end
of a 6 to 3 score. The Kansans
scored in the first quarter and
the cadets in the second. The
new division Of the game into
quarters instead of halves was
not thought by the spectators to
be an improvement.
1t was evident that Coach
Ristine will have a hard job this
year to develop out Of his green
material anything like the
scoring machine which has rep
resented Wentworth in the past
few years. The soldiers had
a repertoire of only five plays
and only two men, Lii and
Campbell, could make much
headway with them. The Went
worth line outside of Butler was
woefully weak and the Wash
burn forwards frequently broke
through and nipped plays in
the bud. Martin and Sunder-
land, who got in at the last
stages Of the game, showed VI
best for the new men.
For Drivers aggregation

work. Smiley made a beautifu
