The big feature developed in Satur-
days local football game was this:
The Ichabods can. There is no ques-
responsible for Washburn's football
record can walk away with Kansas
hcnors this season If they will only
keep it up. Their future glory or
gloom lies in their own hands. and II
they improve as much in the next two
weeks as they have in the past two
they should finish the season with a
clear record.
1t was a great game Saturday,
great in many ways. Emporia was
doped to win. and she made game
ability for the first time this season
and therein lay the hidden secret.
Troberts punting was such that it
would have been a powerful factor
against any team. Bearg and Beals,
previously been playing their best,
were up to usual form. Dick Whit
comb and Stewart played sure-enough,
honest-t0-goodness football, and Linge
set a mark of improvement that other
members OF the team might profitably
emulate.
The greatest weakness that the
Blues displayed was in interference
work. This feature will have to be
given especial attention If gains are
made against the Aggies and Jay
hawkers. One noticeable improve
up Of the forward pass. The Ichabods
covered their men beautifully and as
a result Emporia completed only 1
out Of IL of her passes. And of these
4. only Melted gains. Washburn did
not need to use the forward pass, but
a fair showing was made on the few
attempted.
With the exception of two passes by
Emporia and one by Washburn, Sat
urday's local game was void of spec
tacular plays of any kind. Steady
gains and consistent team work mark
ed Washburn's playing. and the new
er-say- spirit was the distinguish
ing characteristic Of the Granger men.
Spectacular plays thrill the onlook-
ers, but teams with individual stars
are often losers because of this very
fact. Napoleon said: 1T is only one
step from the sublime to the ridicu-
LOUIS" If the Little Corporal had been
q football fan, he probably would have
to an ass. Teamwork like Washburn
displayed Saturday and like Nebraska
always displays wins games. When
the best men are striving for fndivid
ual honors there can be no team work.
Trobert's punting Saturday averaged
IS yards. Hinshaw's averaged 81 and
his best was so.
In discussing their defeat, one Of the
Emporia men said: I'VE have simply
been playing heavier teams on our di-
gestive organs mot quoted verbatim)
and today We just lost them (the or
gans), that's ALL
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
Emporians that the Normals will
avenge their defeat when Washburn
meets them on the Emporia field next
Saturday. One OF the Emporia men
said: 1.-THE Normal school has q. strong
team and will give Washburn all she
Of the best coaches in the state and he
is building up a poEerful eleven
The Ichabods Will need to be in form
by next Saturday, all right, and will
have to shoot their full wad to win.
The Teachers walloped st. Marys 80 to
o. They consider Washburn the prize
plum Of the seasons picking and every
effort will be made to bag the big end
Of the score.
The K. U. Jayhawkers put the Man
haitian Aggies out of the Missouri VAL
ley running Saturday with ease. and
Washburn may expect the battle of her
life when she meets Wheaton's men
here on Nov. Z. The big feature of last
saturdays game was the blocking OF
forward passes by the Jayhawkers.
The seventeen attempted passes of the
Aggies were all broken up by the
Wheaton men.
Mr.. G. o. Dope's reputation for truth
and veracity as well as his prognos-
ticatfng ability was considerably i'm
paired by last Saturdays scores. Ne
braska "et-up' the team that had held
the Michigan Wolverines to to O; w.
& ]. landed on Yale with a ID to Z
score;; Pennsylvania State tied Har-
ward; Syracuse scored 20 to Michigan's
6 and Dartmouth held Princeton 16 to
L. Those who specialize in compare
tive scores can now sharpen their pen
ellis and figure things out most any
way they want to.
The local games of interest this COM
ing Saturday are as follows: Wash
burn against Emporia Normals at En-
poria; X. U. against Oklahoma; Has
kell Indians against Notre Dame at
Notre Dame; and st. Marys against
Missouri NOrmals at ST. Marys.
Michigan plays Harvard at Cam
bridge Saturday and Yale meets Col
gate. Nebraska plays Iowa State at
Lincoln.
ROCK ISLAND WINS.
