hold Ames is taken by many as an
indication that K.'U. will have a hard
time trimming the Tigers in their big
final clash
While the Kansas Aggies did not
make brilliant showing against the
Emporia Normals in their game at
Manhattan, they won easily by the
score of 13 to 3, and it is the general
opinion that Coach Clevenger had his
men husband their strength as much
However, other Kansas teams are a
bit worried that the Hargiss men were
able to get off with such an easy de-
feat, and as a result of it few teams
Will go against the Teachers during
the remainder of the season without
showing them great deal of respect.
Friends Won Easily.
Friends university had little trouble
with ST. Marys and won &c to 8. The
Northwestern win over Chicago was
the first triumph at the expense of
the Maroons since 1901 and it is taken
to indicate that Northwestern is
probab bly, making an effort to get back
on the map. Michigan came thru
with her expected strength and hum
bled her old Michigan Aggie rivals 9
to o. The Haskell Indians sprung a
surprise on Wisconsin, playing the
northerners to to score.
In the east Pittsburg's 80 to vic
tory over Syracuse was the big feature
of Saturdays playing. Harvard won
from the Massachusetts Aggies 40 to
0, but reports indicate that weakness
of the Aggies was more responsi BILE
than the strength of the Crimsons
Cornell, the Navy. Princeton and the
Army all won their games by COM
Portable scores.
In the south Vanderbilt again gave
evidence of its supremacy by defeating
Mississippi 35 to 0. and the expected
happened when Texas took Oklahoma
into camp 81 to Z. Henry Kendall did
not do a thing to add to her prestige
except defeat the Alva Normal team
so to O.

one of the scrappiest scraps ever witnessed
in Topeka
The aerial attack displayed by Schlade-
snap with which the whole team moved
about and executed complicated forma-
tions showed coaching of high order.
Captain Stuckev was by far and wide
the most brilliant star of the Methodists,
but Grove, Jaggard and Stewart all did
valuable work and were in the thick of
the fight turnout.
OF the Washburn men Captain Stewart
Sargent, Hope, Truli and Calihan stoo
out in the glare of the spectacular. During
the first half the defensive work of Stew
art was superb and in the final periods
he figured prominently in the offense.
Hope found himself for the first time
this season and hit the line for consistent
gains; Trull played a heady end, and it
was due to his fast travelling on Stewards
long punt that Washburn was able to count
the winning touchdown.
Perry's 20 yard run in the first quarter
was by far the most spectacular feature
of the game Nothing but a 10 second man
could have kent him from going the re-
CURED distance and there was never jack
RABBIT greyhound race as thrilling the one
he and Scott staged. 1t was the first long
run in d local Washburn game i'll several
years
An unusual feature of the game was the
fact that men were benehed on both sides
without their teams suffering penalties.
Kennedy's men played straight football
most of the way. Only three forward
passes were attempted during the Whole
game. and none of them We're successful.
Baker made most of her big gains by the
pass route, but at that a pass almost cost
her a touchdown when Perry made his
spectacular run in the first quarter.
The failure of both Washburn and Baker
to score on attempted field goals Indicates
that the Kansas conference is not abrea st
of the times in this feature of the gam.
In the east. especially. field goal scoring
is becoming very important feature of
the game and a perfectly directed boot of
this kind often means victory to team.
One reason Washbnrn is not more pro-
fieienr in this line is the fact that Cautain
Stewart does all the kicking aud Coach
Kennedy is afraid that if he devotes too
much of his time to drop kicking and
placements it may interfere with his punt
/ ing
Baker has the making of a dangerous
drop kicker in Grove. and if he would de-
vote more attention to this feature of the
game it would he a valuable addition to
the scoring strength of the Schla.ienan
men. Drop kicking. by the way, seems TO
be becoming more popular than placements
