HIGH SCHOOL HUMBLED.
Heavy Emporia Team Too Much for
McLean's PIuckY Warriors.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 25.-Outweigh-
ed rs pounds to the man, the Topeka
high school football team was no
match for the local team in their
game here Saturday and Emporia won
by the score of 40 to 0.
The game was one-sided affair
throughout and the attempt of the
Topekans to make their speed and
open play offset the beef of the locals
availed little. Their speed might have
helped them had it not been for the
poor condition of the field, which was
against them.
However, the plucky little men from
the Capital never gave up the fight
and were battling just as gamely when
the final whistle sounded as when
play began. Wilson, Mclean and
Kennedy played particularly well for
the Topekans. The lineup:

tinguished them against more worthy
opponents.
But, nevertheless, had it not been
for the trio of old men who came to
the rescue, it is more than probable
that the Crimson clad Missouri Teach
erS would have taken victory home
with them and the blue and white
colors would have again been tram
pied in the dirt.

touchdowns when they had advanced
the ball to the very edge of the goal
line by use of the forward pass Sew
eraI times when it seemed that it
would be impossible to keep the beefy
MisSourians from pushing their way
to a touchdown, Bearg was the man
who planted himself in front of the
man with the ball-and he planted
himself like a stone mason sets a rock
AQundation in concrete.
The game was bitterly fought
throughout. and the Teachers never
gave up hope until the final quarter,
when, on the kickoff, Beals received
a long punt and raced SIS yards for a
touchdown. This was the feat that
broke the spirit of DR.. "Phog" Aliens
warriors and put a check to their final
desperate efforts.

The Catholics placed their main de-

The battle was waged on even terms

team and the confidence given it by
the presence of the odd stars was
apparent from the start. Taylor
opened the hostilities by making a
50-yard kickoff to Champeny, who re-
turned rs. BealS made a bad getaway
and failed to gain, but Champeny was
given the ball and made Is yards
| The Ichabods then marched down the
| field with apparent ease and made
three successive first downs, placing
the ball on Warrensburg' 10-yard
line, but a tumble lost the ball and
an exchange of punts followed.
The Missourians were unable to
make gains and with the ball on their
Syard line attempted to punt, but
Newell blocked the kick and recovered
the ball. Again Washburn got within
yard of a touchdown but lost the
ball on downs. WarrenSburg tried to
punt out of danger, but the ball went
out of bounds and was Washburn's on
| the 20-yard line. The Teachers were
penalized for being off sides. Cham
peny and Bearg made substantial
gains, the Teachers were penalized
half the distance to their goal line.
and then Bearg went over for the first
Washburn touchdown of the season.
Trobert failed to kick goal.
Bearg Again.
In the second quarter Champeny in
tercepted a forward pass and Elbe
made a slight gain, but the Ichabods
to punt. However, Bearg recovered
the ball on Missouri's 15-yard line and
series of line smashes added another
touchdown.
Beginning the second half. the
Teachers changed their style of play
almost completely, and relied solely
on the long pass. The manner in
which they executed 20, 80 and 40
yard passes literally swept the Icha-
bods off their feet and it was only in
the shadow of the goal line that thew
were stopped.
Teachers lost the ball, but a tumble
gave it back to them. Passes again
carried them to within a few yards of
score, but they were held for downs
and Trobert punted. A 35-yard pass
brought the ball back but again the
Ichabod line held for downs and Tro-
bert punted. Parkins returned IS
yards and a pass to Meme over the
goal line gave the Teachers their only
touchdown. Taylor kicked goal as the
whistle blew ending the quarter.
Beats Sensational Run.
Beginning the fourth quarter the
Missourians urged each other on by
saying that one more touchdown
would give them victory. But when
Taylor kicked off and Beals made his
spectacular run almost the length of
the field, it was all over.
In desperation the Teachers tried
on the defense most of the time but
they were never able to get a score

Won From Farm
ers in the Last Quarter.
Game Was a Big Surprise to
Both Sides.

AdH.b OCl. zO.-A1-
though the Aggies were unable to
humble Jayhawkers here Saturday
and K. u. won the annual clash by
the score of 10 to Z, the game was
one of the biggest surprises that has
been sprung on a Missouri valley
peculiar features about it was that it
was very much of a disappointment to
both teams.
The Aggies were disappointed be-
cause they had staked their entire
gridiron ambition orr the outcome of
the game and were forced to take
the small end of the score after hav-
ing led with an easy margin during
the first half. The Jayhawkers, al
though victors, were far from joyful
because they had expected an easy
victory and had hoped to win without
much effort. The fact that they were
Outplayed in the first periods of the
game remained to remind them of the
hard battles ahead and to lend a faint
of bitterness to the sweets of victory.
Most of the first period was a punt
ing contest, the -Jayhawkers taking
the edge on distance, but the Aggies
making better gains by straight work.
Sullivan. Aggie quarter, scored the
feature play of this first section when
he made a 15-yard return of a punt.
The second period was started by
Lindsay, Kansas half, making 20
yard run around the end. Kansas
failed to make their next downs and
the ball went to the Aggies. On the
first play, Randells, Aggie end, took
the pigskin on a fake end run and
went seventy-five yards through the
entire Kansas squad for the first
touchdown of the day. He kicked his
own goal.
Kansas then tried every method of
making gains, but the efforts were
not successful. The Aggie defense
was perfect throughout the rest of
this half, but the Bender crew could
not make any substantial gains Tor
themselves and the first half ended
to O for the Aggies.
At the beginning of the next half
Todd went in for Wood at quarter and
Fast for Gillespie. Kansas kicked to
the Farmers and from the first 1t
weakening. During the first few
minutes of play Lindsey made a 30
yard pass to Heath, who went TWEEN
ty more yards for a touchdown
count was still in favor of the Man
hattaniteS, to g.
Later in the period the Jayhawkers
twice got to within five yards OF the
goal, but were held for downs The
quarter ended with the count in favor
of the Aggies, but the team was
weakening.
Kansas held the ball from the start
of the last session and went from the
37-yard line to the 1-yard line on four
line end plays. Here the Aggies held
for three downs before allowing the
score that beat them to be pushed
across the line. Again Strother failed
to boot a goal.
Not being satisfied with winning by
a small score the Lawrence bunch
opened up after the kickoff and in five
minutes went over for another counter.
This time it was made on an inter-
copied Aggie pass, and the goal was
kicked, making the count 10 to Z. With
only three minutes to play Strother
tried a place kick from the 30-yard
line but fell short. The lineup:

Washburn's victory over Warrensburg
Saturday should give the Ichabods con-
fidence for their game with Bill Hargess
Emporia teachers next Saturday.
With Trobert Bearg and Elbe still on
the squad, Washburn should go into this
game with more than an even break.
Also. if Newell, Rice, Chuck Logan
and other new players perform as well as
they did Saturday it should be a walk
away by at least two touchdowns.
While they were not called upon to carry
the ball in the pinches, both Sam Stewart
and Chuck" Logan played good game
Saturday, especially on defensive and when
the final smashes were made
In addition to the play in which he
blocked Warrensburg kick which subse-
quently gave the Ichabods their first touch
down, "Runt' Newell showed better
running down punts than any other Wash
burn player has shown this year.

BASKET BALL SCHEDULE.

The College of Idaho basket ball
team won from American Falls high
school Friday night 33 to rs in a close
ly contested game before an enthus-
iastic crowd of fans. The local boys
outplayed the visitors in every depart
ment OF the game except in their abil-
ity to throw fouls and this lost them
the game Chas Paine, left forward for
the visitors, threw nine baskets out
or eleven chances from the foul line
and won the contest for his team.
American Falls had the ball three
fourths of the time, passed all around
their opponents and threw more field
goals. Stains took the ball from his
mar at center at every jump. The
forwards took the ball on nearly ev-
cry play but not a man on the team
could find the basket from the foul
line.
The College boys exhibited the best
craftsmanship seen on the local floor
this year, and will always be welcomed
as long as they maintain the reputa-
llOH gained III tHelT I1TSL WISH TO the

ROCKLAND BOwLERS BEATEN.

Rockland bowlers invaded American
Falls Friday and Saturday nights in
a desperate attempt to humble the To-
cal pin artists, but in vain. They were
decisively beaten both evenings. They
began well Friday night by taking the
first game from the team representing
American Falls. but were unable to
come back in the two games hat fol-
lowed. Against the contractors Sat
urday night they lost three straight
games. But this was not the result of
good playing by the contractors. Rath-
ell it vas unusually poor bowling by
the Rockland team that lost them the
games. When Harvey Anderson. the
best. bowler in the contractors lineup,
can bowl only an average of 144 for
three games, there is no excuse for
any team losing to them. This was the
best he could do against the Rockland
boys Saturday night. The score:
