Blue IS SWAMPED
Washburn SmOthered by Ava
lanche of Sooner Scores.
Locals Failed at Forward Pass
and Goals.

Norman, Ok, Oct. 2S.-The Washburn
FOOTBALL team was Outclassed by the
SoOners and beaten 81 to 0. The only
feature of the game in which the visi-
tors showed form was in line pluns-
ing, Mcintyre, TOmlinSOn and Smiley
making good gains on split formations.
The game was spectacular at times,
Washburn trying many forward passes
most Of which failed. Four times the
Blue was on the 3-yard line but were
unable to get the ball over Once 4
forward WAS tried on the line but fail
ed. One field goal was tried and fail
ed. Oklahoma tried three field goals
and kicked one.
Martins dropkick on the 25-yara Line
and Capshaw's 50-yard run through a
ward pass by Washburn, were the star
plays that helped to win the victory
for Oklahoma. Six touchdOwns and
four goals, and a field goal made the
Sooner's score what it was when the
game was over.
The Congregationalists went on the
field an even choice to win among the
unprejudiced football enthusiasts, sut
it was apparent soon after the first
KICKOFF that Oklahoma had the better
team, especially on offens. Both teams
fumbled frequently and neither line was
exceptionally strong, except al inter
walls. The Oklahoma line proved the
stronger, however, because on several
occasions when the Sons of Ichabnd
were within striking distance of the
Sooner goal it held like a stone wall
and prevented a touchdown.
The weather was a trihe unpleas
ant, but not too cold to interfere with
the playing, except to cause the fun
hes more frequently. The contest was
played on Boyd field before a crowd
