necessity Of judgment In MAKING q
Kick Of this kind. 1t was one OF the
prettiest pieces Of toe work exniD,teo
in Kansas football this season. Tro-

from the hands of the safety. once

| to catch the ball from the snapper-back
and tuggled the pigskin. When he re-
covered he was surrounded by Catho-
lies. In short quick kick he bootee
the ball 40 yards.
Luck was evenly distributed
throughout the contest In the first
quarter the Catholics allowed the Dali
to dribble several times behind the
line of scrimmaGe. In the first quarter
three washburn men recovered fum-
bIes-Rogers, Beaver and Barrett:

The forward pass was brought into
play only occasionally. St Mary's

showed a great improvement over
other games this season in breaking

Here was the way the plays were
lined up for Washburn in many in

yards. Dive by Rogers. five yards
first down and ten to go.
'sPinky'' Beales went in at quarter
back to relive McNeish, who had been
bearing up under a gruelling attack,
in the last quarter. The slippery little
halfback handled the ball quickly and
exhibited good head in the position.
His quarterback runs around the ends
were feature. He added many yards
to the Washburn gains by spectacular
spurts. Beales will be depended upon
to puzzle the Farmers next Thursday.

of injuries in the Emporia mud-fight.
He will be in shape for Thanksgiv-
ing's game.
Meyers and Forbes both were
bears in the fullback position
Forbes was taken out early in the
game on account of injuries. Mey-
ers filled his place with equal clever
ness. Both men will be in tiptop
shape for the Aggie game.
Wolfe wriggled his way through
the st. Marys line for several good
gains. Many times the big guard
broke through the line and broke up
the Catholic running interference.
Wolfe will be a candidate for an all
Kansas guard and the coaches and
officials are watching him. The two
Whitcombs and Smith charged low
and hard and sent back the Catholics
in many stonewall plays. D. Whit
comb, by the way, handled Burns, the
powerful st. Marys tackle and cap
tain. in good shape. Several times
in a plunge through this side of the
line, Whitcomb would tumble Burns
and Trobert would be waiting for the
man with the ball.
Chamberlain for Washburn and
Shyne for the Catholics were the two
fastest men on the field yesterday
Chamberlain runs at an angle Of
about fifteen degrees-runs at a ter
rifle gait. Shyne is a second Cham
berlain. Both men made good gains
Chamberlain played the halfback po-
sitions. They ran with the ball and
formed interference like veterans
Another showing like they made and
Washburn will not miss Hardy.
Coach Lowman and several play
ers of the Kansas Aggies were on the
sidelines watching the washburn at
tack. The Aggies have seen WASH
burn in several games this season
and should have a good idea Of the
Blues formations in the Thanksgiv-
ing game in Topeka.
The work of the officials, Masker
and Anderson and Mcbride, was
without question. Not a decision was
doubted. The trio ran the contest
quickly and effectively.
The runs of Bea1es and beaver in
returning kickoffs was a feature.
Dodging and following q pretty in

the tickling Of the feet brought the
ball back to the center Of the field
All OF Washburn's returns were good.
Coach Gray wore a new hat yes
terday. The old gray headgear was
considered a hoo-doo by the players.
The new English lid was greeted with
cheers in the dressing rooms when
the mentor appeared before the
game. And straightway the team
played ball with a punch and pep.
