SMILEY PLAYS HARD

The Washburn Hopefuls had some real
work last night with the Santa Fe ap-
prentice 70 Jtball team from the machine
shops. In about 25 minutes of pay,
Washburn succeeded in scoring Il points
and the apprentices 5. The college boys
counted two touchdowns and a safety
and the Santa F'e q touchdown.
Washburn worked the ball to witdin
striking distance when Bishop tore UP
the line for 20 yards. Smiley carrie I'd
it across the goal on a fake play. No
goal was kicked. The college again
slowly worked the ball down the field
and when within two yards of the goal
line, were instructed to try a forward
pass. Ed Givens, the shop lefthalf in
tercepted the ball at the goal line and
ran the 10 to the other end of the
field for a touchdown. Smiley made
an attempt to catch him but the red
topped lad was gone. Goal was not
trse5.
Play Straight Football.
Straight football again brought lie
ball Within scoring distance and Crum-
bine, at half position, carried it over
on a line plunge. Goal was missed.
After another slow march across the
field, Washburn lost the ball to the
Santa Fe on their three yard line ~
q tumble. Cecil Lowe, at left end spill
ed the first Santa Fe play behind the
goal for a safety and the game was
called off.
The Santa Fe boys are coached by
Norman Whitney, once a center Tor
Washburn Considering thai they get
only half hour practice a day which
they take at the noon hour, they play
a mighty good game. Their practice is
held on the shop athletic field and some
games are likely to follow. Some Of
the men did not have football equip
ment but they were in every play in
spite of the absence of pads.
than went TO- gains but the college
was able to make long gains now and
then which carried them ACT oss The
field steadily. The tackling of the shop
men surpassed any seen on the college
field this season but they were not
luick to diagnose t. lays toing un-
.sed to the varied forms of attack.
Smiley a Star.
It is too bad Washburn has not more
men like Smiley. He has the goods Ind
always is ready to denver. He neve-
gets hurt and is in position for every
play. He runs with the ball like a
mad man which is a great relief after
gatching some Of his teammates make
Try.
Crurnbine also showed up well last
night. From left half position he car
ried the bail almost as we'll as Smiley
and has not had as much work tn sr'e.
He has gotten the knack or running
low and being small slips through WITH
ease. CrEmmy denies that he callea
a place kick on the second swn at
Wichita, maintaining that it was the
third down ana the only possible play
IN that case. He has received mlca
criticism from those VINO believe it was
only the second down ana thinks he is
abused The goal was missed and be-
caus~ it was Washburn's only chance
to score. Grumpy is made the goat.
McNeish, who was showing well at
right end, turned in his suit last night
as his parents objected to mis- playing
the college rame. This will leave RAN
hin. Pearson and Chamberlain in the
contest for that position.
The Santa Fe boys will try to sat
away from work again next Wednes-
Law to scritarnage with the college.
