The St. Marys-Midland game and
the Aggie-Baker clash were the only

. The varsity game at
Washburn was very much of sur
prise. as the husky youngsters We're
doped to play their senior opponents
TO a close finish. But with Brummage
out of the lineup. the confidence of
the freshmen was badly shattered, and
ehis. together with stage fright han
dfcapped them considerably. But, at
that. the SIS to O score that the varsity
piled up was more to the credit of
Captain Stewards men than to the dis
credit of the youngsters.
Varsity Showed Punch.
Stewards punting was the big fea-
ture of the varsity playing, but the
team showed quite hefty punch in
every feature. The interference that
the regulars put up showed tnat they
have already developed along this line
as much as they had at mid-season
last wear. and the forward pass plays,
made difficult by the high wind,
looked encoura ging.
Stewards kick off starting the game
was his poorest of the afternoon and
the freshmen made their first lunge
on their own 30-yard line. A tumble
gave the varsity the ball and before
three minutes OF play had elapsed,
Hope skirted around right end for 20
yards and for the first touchdown OF
the seasCn. Stewart kicked a perfect
goal against the wind.
Stewards second kick sailed As
Yards and vas received by Jones' who
made a v1ry slight return. Wilson
attempted TO punt the freshmen out
OF the danger zone, but his kick was
blocked and Heller recovered the ball
on the 2O-yard line. Stewart tried
field goal that failed. and the fresh
men. again afraid to try for gains
hunted Perry, Champeny and Hope
carried the ball goalward, making long
gains on end runs and thru the line,
and Hope again went over for touch
down.
Scored Safety.
The varsity again forced the fresh
men within the shadow of their goal
posts and on a bad pass from center
the ball was downed behind the line
for a safety that counted two points.
Before the end of the quarter the
freshmen again fumbled, giving the
ball to their opponents and after
Stewart made a spectacular 17-yard
run. Sargent went over for the last
counter of the first quarter.
The varsity let up during the second
quarter and after Hope had gone over
early in the play there were no more
scores until time was called. In the
t>sird quarter both teams sent in subs
and the contest resumed a resem-
blance to the earlier play. After
Stewards kick the varsity recovered
the ball on tumble and Sullivan and
McCosh marched down the field for
the fourth touchdown, McCosh going
over.
Wilson kicked 81 yards to Calihan,
and Stewart returned the punt on the
first down. Stewart then intercepted
a forward pass and raced As yards
close enough for McCosh to go over on
the second down. Two more touch
downs were added in the final period
Sullivan going yer for the first and
Stewart for the last. Stewart did not
miss a goal during the afternoon.
Eight forward passes We're attempted
by the varsity, but on account of the
