College Station, Tex, Nov. 23.-In a
sea of mud the Kansas Agricultural
college proved too much for the Texas
A. and M, southwestern champions,
here defeating the latter team to the
tune of 13 to 10. The Kansas team
received challenge from the Univer-
sity of Texas to play at Galveston, De-
cember Z.
1t was hard fought battle here. A
costly tumble at the close of the first
quarter and an interrupted forward
pass within two minutes of the close
of the game, gave the large end of the
score to the visitors. The visitors did
not try the forward pass but depended
on end runs and line plunges to adj
vance the ball, while the Texans fast
back field was handicapped by the
muddy field. 1t was q kicking game

BAKER WINS CONTEST
Last Game of season Won by McGho-
dist SCRUBS"

Baldwin. Kan, Nov. 2s.-Raker
university football season closed with
a victory for the home team over
Paramount by a score Of 10 to 0.
There being SO many of the first men
out of the game that the students call
ed it the scrub team, but the way they
played ball was no discredit 10 the
first team. Baker kicked off and on
the first tackle one of the F'aiPmount
men was taken out with a bad knee.
In the first quarter Baker carried the
ball over for a touchdown, but lost the
kick. In the second half B'airmount
had the ball within two feet of the
goal and with four downs failed to
push the ball over. Cy Horne, by a
line buck, carried the ball over for the
second touchdown, having made Sc
yard run. Within the last two min
utes of the game Armstrong inter
cepted the Fairmount's forward pass
and got away with the ball for a good
run, carrying the pigskin over for the
third time. Final score 19 to o.
Fafrmount tried for place kick two
times, but was unsuccessful in each.
Baker made but few successful for
ward passes, their gains being made
mostly on line plunges in which they
seemed to be strong.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 23.-The Col
Iege of Enporia defeated the Haskell
Indians in a fierce football battle
here today by the score of 81 to IL.

desperately in the last five minutes
but the collegians recovered a forward
pass and held the advantage.
The game was won at bitter cost to
Emporia. as Granger, the star half
back of the local team, sustained a
break of the left arm at the elbow.
Both teams used the open play and
were we'll matched in speed. The
Haskell boys played clearly and their
tackling was the best ever seen on

bears weight Is the one OF Jack

DO YOU CALL THIS A GAME?

Southwestern Beats Friends by 101 10
o Score.
Winfield, Kan, Nov. 23.-In what
was the most. sensational game in the
history of the schools, Southwestern
college stormed Friends university on
the gridiron, making a record breaking
score of ISL to 0!@i The first touch
down was made in one minute and a
half, followed by over a score of
touchdowns in rapid succession. Two
touchdowns were made from the kick
off by Lear and Wesley, who crisis
crossed into each others hands upon
receiving the ball. The Friends play
erS didn't make their downs more than
twice during the game. They showed
an almost total ignorance of the for
ward pass. However, they played a
plucky, determined game every min
ute of the time. Glover and Hodges
did the best work for Friends. South
Westerns team was never in better
condition this year. RandelS did great
work in receiving forward passes.
Schmidt showed good form in kicking
goals, failing only twice in the entire
game. Touchdowns were made as fol-
lows: Wesley 4, Bernstorf 8, Lear 8,
Randels 8, Schmidt 8, Moore 2, ZeigIer

Willard losing on foul for hitting in
the clinches. This was quickly over

schooling about rules in boxing.
Then Fights Came Fast.
He next went on with Ed Burke on
March T. and scored a knockout in
three rounds. The fans called for a
return match with Fink and on
March rs he knocked Fink out in three
rounds, his improved form being due
solely to thinking and stdying out the
game as he had no good man to box
with. He next met Al Mandtno on
April IA and knocked him out in four
rounds. Next came Joe Cavanaugh on
April 29. A knockout in eleven rounds.
knockout in four rounds. Won over
Frank Lyon on July 4. Won over
Mike Cominsky in 10 rounds on July
16. These bouts all took place either
in Oklahoma City or the vicinity of
that city Willard went back to his
fall and winter there settled up his
business affairs and went to Chicago
last spring. Charlie Cutler quickly saw
something in Willard, and became his
manager. He fought his bout under
Cutler at Fort Wayne, Ind, on May
%, knocking out big John Young,
white hope of that city in six rounds.
On June % he knocked out Frank
Barnes in two rounds at st. Charles,
Ill. On July 2 he again met Young
at South Chicago and knocked him out
in five rounds Cutler then matched
him to meet Arthur Pelky at Madison
Square Garden, where he won over
him on July 90. Now came big Luther
Mccarthy with Carl Morris scalp
dazzling and heralded by New York
ers as the real fellow. The fans de-
cided Willard would be about right for
Mccarthy so on August 10 they met
at Madison Square Garden and it is
but history what Willard did to Nc
Carthy those 10 rounds. Mccarthy was
beaten a mile, all battered UP, while
the clever Willard did not have mark
on him. No press agent or anything
behind Willard he did not receive the
right reward for his victory other than
by local New Workers. The result be-
ing here we find Mccarthy who lost
every round to Willard now out on the
coast meeting Jim Flynn for gate re-
ceipts that will easily total $4,000,
while Willard who became disguised
with cheap offerings of percentage by
New York clubs here in Buffalo will

Boxing Gift With Him.
If this big chap is given any kind
of an opportunity he will turn the
tables on the promoters down east
who offered him small percentage to
meet Gunboat Smith and other good
men. They thought him a big card
after beating Mccarthy, and would
make them money If he would fall
for small inducements with plenty of
bouts in sight However, before he
left New York Billy Gibson made him
handsome proposition to meet Al
Palzer next month at the Garden if

easy for me as Mccarthy was, and
