NORMALS EASY.
Washburn Piled Up q One.
Sided Score.


Developed a Powerful Onense
for First Time This Season.
BY romping away with the game on
Washburn field and thus trouncing the
Teachers from Emporia by the one
sided score of Al to Z, the sons OF lena
bod gave the Jayhawker team anu
Coach Frank, who were present on
the side lines, food for serious though
In fact Coach Frank admitted that the
Washburn team is a good one, and that
Bearg and Hardy are veritable whiri-
winds in the backfeld. However. while
he praised the packfield Of the lena
bods there are weak spots in the l1ne'
he intimated, and the X. U. line Is
much heavier There is optimism IN
the Washburn camp and the team Will
go to Lawrence with the idea OF re-
peating."
Although the score was onesided, the
game with the Normals Saturday did
not lack interest at any stage. The
Teachers were not strong in defensive
play. but when they had the ball in
their possession they frequently found
weak places in the Washburn line and
tore through the apertures for good
gains. Both teams used the forward
pass with a varying degree Of success,
but it must be admitted that the Teach
ers had the best of the argument in
completing the passes. "Ducky' White.
the righthalf for the Normalites played
a great game both in offense and de-
tense; in fact he was half the team in
himself. He not only made brilliant
runs and tackled like a demon, but did
the punting for his team.
For Washburn Bearg is deserving OF
first honors. He was good for a gain
at anytime throughout the game. OF
powerful build he threw of his OPP
ponents. and frequently after he had
made run there would be three or
four teachers rolling on the ground.
Hardy was a little slow in getting start
ed, but in the third and fourth period
he distinguished himself by sensational
playing. Again "Pinky" Beales, who
replaced Bearg in tho last staEza prov
ed his worth in the backfield. 1t was
Beales who made what was perhaps the
prettiest run of the entire game. He
dashed through the opposition with
lightning speed for a gain Of 40 yards.
He was a slippery whtrlfng motion
when in action and is difficult man
to stop. 1t was the opinion of those
who saw the game that Coach Gray will
do well to use him against the Jay
hawkers next Saturday. Richard Whit
comb Forbes and Captain Rodgers made
consistent gains although they did not
get away for long runs. The right side
of the Washburn line showed signs OF
weakness.
1t was anybody's game for the first few
minutes of play, but soon Washburn
showed her superiority. The teachers
were badly crippled; in fact the coach
claimed that there were ten men on
the hospital list" When the local
team started marching down the field
there was no stopping them. The first
quarter ended with seven points credit
ed to Washburn. In the second quarter
Washburn Increased the lead to q to
0 by straight football. 1t was in the
third quarter that an intercepted
Washburn forward pass allowed
"Ducky' Holmes to place the pigskin
over the Washburn line after a spec
tacular SIS yard dash. Washburn play
ed all the harder after this score was
made and At the end of the quarter the
score stood IS to Z. Washburn expert
mcnted in forward pass throwing in
the last quarter and annexed but six
more points There were no new plays
uncorked in the course of the game.
