LOST TO LINCOLN
Topeka High School Team No
Match for NebraSkanS.
Fighting Hard Throughout,
They Were Unable to Score.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 27.-The Topeka
high school football team. fighting
yamelv against great odds, was de-
feated Thursday afternoon by Lincoln
high school. the final score being Al
to O. The game was played on the
Nebraska university field before a
crowd of 5000 people.
The Lincoln eleven is a miniature Ne
braska team. They uncorked many
clever fake plays and with their clock
work team efficiency, they proved too
much for the Topekans. especially IN
the first half of the game. But 1t was
pretty game for the Onlooker, because
the Topeka team did not give up the
fight until the final whistle blew, de-
spite the one sided score.
Lincoln Off Strong.
Lincoln opened up with fake for
ward pass and run in the opening min
ute of play and this was followed by
a succession of battling plays when
soon netted touchdown, Frappia, the
crack fullback, going over the line and
True kicking goal.
The Nebraska team then opened up
new formations, said to be similar to
the Michigan Aggie style of football,
and a second touchdown and goal were
made. A minute later, on the first
down after Topeka received the kickoff,
a Lincoln linesman intercepted for
ward pass and made third touchdown.
True missed goal and the score at the
end of the period was 20 to 0.
In the first few minutes of play in
the second quarter. a 25 yard forward
pass and successful line plunges made
another touchdown for Lincoln and the
goal was kicked. The rest of the quar-
ter was nip and tuck, Lincoln at one
time being forced to punt from their
three yard line. Captain Nettels, of To-
peka made some brilliant punts in the
remainder of the quarter. The score
stood q to at the end of the first

coin this season has a football team
that cannot be equaled in this part of
the country by high school team.
The Nebraskans have piled up a total
OF nearly 800 points against only 8
for their opponents. Frappia, the
fullback, is even now showing univer-
sity style in his playing.

game. The big captain and tackle

eral good gains. The lineup was as

OklahOmanS.

Kansas City, Nov. 27.-Using forward
passes with end runs and trick plays,
the Oklahoma university football team
piled up a 30 to IL score against the
Haskell Indians here Thursday. Each
team scored a touchdown in the open
ing period but the Indians failed to kick
goal. After that the Oklahomans gave
wonderful exhibition of open field
work and won with ease.
A 4O-yard forward pass, Geyer to
Montgomery, which secured a touch
down. was the feature OF the game;
Ideal weather and the prospect OF see
ing a fast game brought an immense
crowd to witness the contest. Haskell
was well represented and its blue UNI
formed students made plenty of noise
with their cheers and a band from their
school.
In the first period after a great de-
a tumble gave the Indians the ball, ana
in which the Oklahomans held the RED
Men for downs, a bad punt gave the
Haskell the ball again and from the
15-yard line Powell scored a touchdown
in the second down. Artichoker missed
goal. Then Oklahoma started from
their 35-yard line right after the kick
off and marched through to touch-
down. Guyer kicked goal, score 10.
In the second period Hap johnson
caught a punt on his own 3O-yard line
and lodging six Indians. ran 70 yards
for touchdown. Guyer kicked goal.
Fontelle and MzhictenO were put out
of the game for roughness.
Three beautiful forward passes put
the ball on the Indians 2-yard line and
Capshaw carried it over. Guyer missed
goal. A 25-yard pass, Artichoker to
Flood, gave Haskell a touchdown. Ar
tichoker missed goal. Score: 2O-13.
A 4O-yard forward pass, Geyer to
Montgomery, the most spectacular OF
the game. gave the Sooners another
touchdown, Guyer kicking goal.
1t was a wonderful pass from the
Oklahoma 45-yard line to the 15-yard
line, Montgomery receiving the ball be-
tween two Indians and escaping them.
Artichoker tried a place kick from the
40-yard line but it went wild. Okla
homa then started another march, two
forward passes and a trick direct pass
with bucks and end runs took them
to the 20-yard line where the period
ended. Score: 27-12.
In the last period plunges by Geyer
and Johnson took the SOoners to the D.
yard line where Capshaw carried the
ball over with plunge through left
guard. Geyer missed goal, making it
80 to IL.
