WENTWORTH WINS
Washburn Freshmen Fight All
The Way, But Lose 81 to 0.

One of the most fiereely con
tested football games ever seen
on the Academy campus was
played yesterday between the
cadets and Washburn Freshmen,
Of Washburn College, Topeka,
Kansas. The game was replete
with thrillers, and at no time
during the contest did the win
n@s have a chance to loaf.
Washburn, although defeated,
was far from disgraced. Any
number of times they broke loose
for long gains and would carry
the ball far into the cadet s ter
ritory, but at the crucial test the
soldiers would stiffen, and take
the ball on downs. Wentworth
made a touchdown I'm the first
quarter on end runs and
line bucks. They were irrestis-
istable. Their interference on
epd runs was magnificent
ther line bucking was Of
the bone breaking variety. Every
play went with the precision Of
clock work. After this touch
down and during the remainder
Of the first half, the cadets play
ed a kicking game. The ball
was in the home territory during
this time. Washburn doing all

first down or two, but the punch
was lacking. Several field goal
We're attempted, and a few were
mighty close.
The second half the cadets
took up the rushing game and
made four touchdowns and kicked
one goal. Their playing was a
revelation to those who had seen
their early attempts at the game.
End runs and line bucks were
interspersed with bewildering for
ward passes. A few fumbles
were made, but none were very
costly. Every man was in the
game, and had to be, to make
this showing against team Of
the caliber Of the visitors.
This game was a good closing
to bad beginning. Starting
out with only three men with
any foot ball experience, Coach
Sellers kept pegging with his

of many discouragements, round
