PITT DEFEATS IT'S
OPPONENTS BY USE
OF THEIR TACTICS

Beat the other man at his own game
seems to be the slogan of those Pitts
burg Panthers.
The rushing game was the long
forte of Syracuse. Pitt wasn't expect
ed to try to tap the great Orange line
Yet that's exactly what it did The
Panthers started the frolic by aban-
doning their own style of attack and
surprised Syracuse by playing the
Orange way. And Pitt won, 80 to 0.
Then came the game with the w. and
J. eleven-the greatest forward pass
ing team in America. Prior to that
fray Pitt had not used the forward to
any great extent. But against w. and
j. the Pitt crowd sprung an aerial at
tack that surprised, disconnected and
beat w. and J. 81 to o.
w. and J. went into the game pre-
pared to stop end runs and line
smashes. 1t didn't figure Pitt would
do much forward passing. And Pitt
crossed them-and an overwheIm-
ing victory was the result.

SOME LONG RUNS
Penn. State Player Made 95
Yard Dash From Kickoff.
Two Hays Normal PLAYERS Get
in the Limelight.

Sensational long runs have been
numerous since the opening of the
1916 football season and many play
ers have won fame by their long
dashes for touchdowns Two of the
best records made in Kansas go to
hays Normal players, Rex Welty and
Emerson Felts, each of whom have
raced so yards for touchdowns.
The best record of the season is held
by Beck, of Penn. State, who raced 95
yards for touchdown from kick off
against Bucknell. Robb, also of Penn
State covered 95 yards in one run
against West Virginia, but it was not
from kick off.
The longest run made by any Wash
burn player was the 65 yard dash Jim
Perry made in the Baker game. How
ever, Perry was downed before he
reached the final chalk mark. A rec
ord of some of the most spectacular
runs follows:

INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS

BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.

King and Soucy of Eddie Mahan's
team, which beat Yale 400, were two
remarkable players. King was a man
who worked up from the lowest ranks
of the scrubs into an all-American
halfback, while Soucy was a very clev--
er player who could be used either
as end or center and was equally good
In both places. Percy Wendell, cap
tain of the 1912 Harvard team, was
the most remarkable line plunger L.
have ever seen. When Wendell got
the ball there was no attempt at side
stepping or hesitating behind the line
of scrimmage; it was just one mad
rush at the hole called for by the
signal and there was no stopping him.
On the same team with him was Sam
FELTON,, one of the best kickers known
to the game of football. He kicked
with his left foot, giving the spiral a
very deceptive twist as it was about to
settle into the arms of the man re-
celving 1t, causing him many times to
rumble the ball. In the 20 to game
OF that year Yale fumbled eight times.
SO deceptive were Felton's kicks. :.
Two other men of that team Frank

tations for themselves in football

MORE SURPRISES!
c. of e. Defeats WesIeyan-St.
Marys Holds Ottawa.
EmpOria State Teachers Have
Easy Game With Swedes.

The defeat of Washburn at the
hands of Fairmount was not the only
surprise in the Kansas conference
games of Friday and st. Marys upset
the dope by holding Ottawa to a to
tie while the College of Emporia was
showing a complete reversal of form
that defeated Kansas Wesleyan by the
wide margin of 27 to 0.
The easy victory of the C. of E.
team, after its defeat earlier in the
week by Cooper college, has set the
Ichabods to thinking and with the
Fairmount defeat still singing like a
fresh cut, the Washburn men are be-
ginning to get a little nervous over
the prospect of another possible de-
feat when they go against the EN-
porians.
Played Good Football.
After finding themselves in the Sec
ond period in which they made two
touchdowns, the c. of E. men played
stellar football thruout the remainder
of the game. getting score in each of
the remaining quarters and holding
their opponents out of the danger zone
without trouble. s=s $40 fsss
st. Marys succeeded in holding the
heavier Ottawa team thru superior
defensive tactics entirely and nosed
out tie when they held the Baptists
after the latter had gotten within the
shadow of their goal line. Redmond
dropkicked a goal for st. Marys in the
first four minutes of play, booting the
ball over from the 25-yard line, and
in the third period Reeves did the
same thing for Ottawa from the As
yard line.
Emporia Normals Romped.
The Emporia Normal conference
champions had an easy time defeatinc
Bethany 80 to in a game which was
their own private property from the
start to the finish. In the first four
plays following the kickoff the State
Teachers marched so yards to a
touchdown. Long gains by Cutter and
kessler and many successful forward
passes enabled the Hargiss men to
advance the ball at will and an indi-
cation of how the Swedes were out
classed is given by the statistics of the
game which show that Emporia made
26 first downs to one by Bethany
The Pittsburg Normal team hung a
33 to score on the record hook
against Midland despite the fact that
the Courtwright lads did not play as
fashy a game as they have been play
ing all season. They did not get start
ed to scoring until the second period,
but made repeated marches for touch
downs in the remaining quarters.
Missouri Invaders Lost.
The two Kansas teams that invaded
Missouri were humb1ed. The Baker
university eleven went down to defeat
5 to 0 at the hands of William Jewell
and the Washburn freshmen were
showed under by Wentworth Military
academy, losing A to 6.

his game was going bad, he played

help Jim out-instructed what to
do, he followed all their kindly tips
and played in 90. And then he
cut out theories-just practiced day
by day-with different clubs a hit

a pretty return of 25 yards, but the
tumble of bad pass gave the ball to
Fairmount again and two forward
passes, Lowe to Dyche and Lowe to
kobel, put the Shockers within strik-

the 1-yard line and Miller went over
for the only touchdown of the game.
Pierce failed to kick goal.

MAKE MANURE MORE VALUABLE

The value of barnyard manure
varies according to the way it is kept
and treated, according to the Ohio and
other experiment stations. The Ohio
Station explains that manure is not a
well balanced fertilizer and that the
addition Of acid phosphate at the rate
Of 40 pounds per ton will make it al
most doubly valuable. In Bulletin 2S6
Director Thorne shows tina. manure
that was untreated was worth $3.50
and when treated with acid phosphate
and kept properly was worth s4.89.
More attention to the conservation Of
manure and the use of it in connection
with fertilizers is advocated by expert
ment station officials throughout the
country. Directions for the proper
handling of manure may be obtained
from the state experiment station
without charge.

How to Test Linen and Cotton if You
Can't Tell the Difference.

II you are not sure that your mer-
chant is reliable when buying table
linen take home sample and wash II
hard and then see, when 1t is ironed
dry, how much Of its fine gloss and
smooth, satiny finish remain. Very of
ten this is only dressing and comes
out In the wash.
To test for cotton in your linen take
thread running in each direction, pull
them apart and when they break no
tice the ends. II the fibers curl up
and are fuzzy it is cotton thread; If
they are lustrous and lie straight and
parallel you have linen. As in the case
Of cotton and wool mixtures, 1t holds
true Of linen and cotton that mixture
made of good grade Of both is prefer
able TO an all linen at the same price.
The latter would have TO be of an in
ferior grade, probably overbleached
and thereby rotted and sure TO wear
poorly.
