The Kansas Aggies were not in ac-
tion Saturday, having had their
weeks workout against the South
western lads Friday; but Nebraska

One No Score Game.
Il. The closest game played last week
and the only one of any importance
in which neither team was able to
score was that between Ottawa and
Bethany at Lindsborg. This game,
from all reports. was a real Greek
and Greek battle with both teams dis
playing a spectacular defense. Ottawa
threatened several times to get its
scoring machine into operation and
twice got within five yards of a touch
down. but every time the SwedeS
hardened their defense and held tight
like the Dardanelles Captain Olson,
Fullback Tilberg and Halfback Thor
stcn berg played a star game for Beth
any and Fogelman and Cassiday did
the best work for Ottawa.
In their contest with the Kansas
City Vets, the st. Marys players veri-
fled reports that the Catholics are on
the come back 20 old time form,
winning by the score of 10 to 7. de-
spite the fact that they were out
weighed. With only one old man in
the lineup at the wick off, Coach
O'Roarke's lads went at their oppon-
nets like veterans and by the use of
the forward pass and long end runs
played their opponents off their feet
Lane, Naloney. Kelly and Gavin did
the most effective work for the Cath
-olics.
- Fuhrer's Pittsburg Normal team
had weak opposition in Drury college,
of Springfield, Mo, and won 21 to O.
