Aggies Scored Place Kick for
Only Score of Game.
Sons of IchabOd Outweighed-
Bearg a Star.

Saltwater. Ok. Oct. 25.-Out-
weighed by an average of twenty
pounds per man and fighting on their
nerve for every inch, the Washburn
eleven of Topeka was defeated here
yesterday afternoon by the Oklahoma
Aggies by the score of to O. The
Aggies scored a place kick near the
end of the first quarter which proved
to be the only score of the contest.
The heat was oppressive and the
Washburn players found this to be a
handicap which affected their speed
during the latter part of the contest.
The WaShburn team lost their only
chance to score when Trobert missed
a drop kick from the fifty yard line.
The ball missed the goal by about two
feet. The Washburn team was Sc
we're test for the Aggies and the lat
ter never got closer than Washburn's
twenty yard line.
Vance, Weaver and Foster were the
stars for the local team. They made
good gains through the Washburn
lines but they were unable to make
them when gains meant first downs
Bearg, Rogers and Trobert.
Bearg was the particular bright star
of the Washburn team. He made two
spectacular runs of thirty yards each
from punt formations. Rogers was in
vincible in the line of defence and sue
ceeded in throwing the Aggies back for
heavy losses. Trobert outpunted the
aged at least six yards on each at
tempt. Failure to return properly on
the part of the Washburn team equal
lied the exchange in punts. Forbes at
fullback was strong on the defence AMI
made some good gains. The Washburn
bucks and tackle swings on
the left side of the line were power
less against the Aggie defence.
The game opened with. Trobert kick
ing to the Oklahomans' ten-yard line.
but the Aggies returned and began a
steady march down the field. The
Blues stopped them, and holding for a
time resulted in an exchange of punts |

place kick from the twenty-yard line
during the latter part of the first per-
iod.
