A Good Game.
1t was a great game. The Ichabods
fought for every inch OF ground they
gained. and he honOrs belong to the
team as a unit rather than to any
player or set of players. 1t is true
Trobert's powerful punting and the
work of Bea- B ais. Myers, Whit
comb and Stewart we've features, but
the big feature was the consistent
team work and the fact that every
man did his duty and did it well. Bar
rett's work at center would have done
credit to a heavier man. Billings and
Janney h Id up their end of the line
well. Ream's generalship was good
and Linge played a better game than
he ever played before, working with
a consistency that was almost fault
less.
The only weakness the Ichabods
showed was in their interference
work. Several gains were lost be-
cause the man who carried the ball
had to Ego it alone" and in the games
to come this defect will have to be
remedied II Saturdays victory Is to
be repeated.
Also, the men who lost fought a
good fight and kept the faith as far
as was in their power to do so.
Changers players are light and but
for their former remarkable record
would not have been considered in
Washburn's class. But. in spite of in
ferior weight they kept the 1chabods
on their toes with remarkable con-
sistency and their open plays at the
beginning of the game were moth

liams and his ten crimson followers
never admitted defeat until the final
whistle blew. and their fighting was
consistent. hard and manly through
out. Williams. Weidower, Hinshaw
and Altman probably did the most
valuable work for the Emporians. but
Jones. Hughes, Patten and Shannon
were muchly in the game at all times.

Whitcomb carried the ball over for
Washburn's first touchdown before

cepted forward pass. Bearg and
Eeals started the oval goalward and
Empo1ias penalties gave them vaiu-
able assistance. Whitcomb hit the line
for first downs and Beals. Bearg and
Whitcomb advanced the ball to the l
yard line. Whitcomb carried 1t over.
Trobert punted so yards to Patten,

Second Quarter.
In the beginning Of the second quar-
ter Altman passed to Hughes q yards.
Emporia tried a field goal but failed.
At this stage of the game both teams
almost lost their captains. Williams
and Trobert. playing end against each
other, tried to incorporate a little fstic
skill in the game, but the referee
caught them and benched them. How
ever, both were unwilling to desert
their men and decided to shake mits
and forget it. whereupon the game pro-
ceeded.
