cross bars he booted the ball TO the
cher side of the field and three WASH
burn men got it one after announcer,

Ichabods Tried Hard.
In the second quarter the Ichabods
n1avad their best and most consistent
Football and this was the only perloo
in which they were able to keep tnelr
opponents on the defensive ana IN
their own territory most or the tiine.
Sargent and Stewart intercepted
couple of forward passes and stewart
tried q place kick from the S5-yard
line which missed by only a few yards.
Getting possession of the ball IN
midfieId, the Teachers completed their
only successful forward pass in the

The final period was the hardest
fought of the whole game, and the
Ichabod played desperately and furi-
ously, showing the old never say
die spirit that has pulled them thru
co ma nv ha hot
forward pass after another and out
punting the Teachers, the Ichabods
got to the 15-yard line and then the
ever present Cutler intercepted a pass
on the edge of the goal line.
Sargent Went Across.
Vaughn went back and punted 80
yards to Sargent who made the most
spectacular run of the season for
Washburn, lodging thru thick
broken field and carrying the ball
over. Sargent also took the kick out
and Stewart kicked goal
With only six minutes left to play.
1t was practically impossible for Wash
burn to threaten the Normal lead, but
the Teachers seemed to be afraid the
impossible might happen and playing
with renewed energy they made four
successive first downs and KessIer
again went over, but this time Cutter
failed to kick goal and the final score
stood % to 7.
Sargent, McCosh and Stewart were
the individual stars of the game for
the lchabods, while "Cudge'' Cutter
performed prodigiously and took prac-
tleally all the Normal honors unto
himself. The Washburn line showed
much weaker than that of the Teach
ers and number of times il leaked
badly, Also. the Ichabods failed TO
put up as good interference The line
up, score and summary:
Washburn. Position. Normals
