first two periods, Champeny Kicking
out of the danger zone every time 1t
was invaded
Tide Turned in Third.
Honors were even during the first
half and neither team threatened TO
score altho the Emporians were fore
ing the attack most of the time with
the ball in their possession in WASH
burn territory. But in the third pc
riod the tide turneds against the blue
and white when the Sanders men
opened up with their aerial attacks.
Shaw kicked off at the beginning OF
the third quarter and Herr kicked
back sixty yards. Washburn could
not make first downs and Champeny
punted thirty yards to mid-field. Herr
made four yards on a line buck and
a delayed pass Melted ten more. An
exchange of punts followed with Meth
er side gaining an advantage and the
c. of E. began their march goalward
from the 47-yard line.
H. Hinshaw made five yards and a
forward pass, Little to Bovaird, ad-
vanced the ball thirty. Washburn
was penalized five yards and then,
after failing to gain by line bucks, the
PresbyterianS again reSorted to the
pass play and Little hurled the oval
over the goal line to Bovaird. The
kick out was a fluke and there was no
try at goal
Soon Scored Again.
The initial touchdown seemed to
make the invaders hungry for more
and their play became more agrees
sive than it had been since the start
of the game. Shaw kicked off and
on the second play Harr made first
downs. The C. of E. them fumbled
and recovered and Little passed TWEEN
ty yards to Captain Hughes who raced
thirty yards over the goal line for
the second touchdown, and this time
Russell kicked a perfect goal
In an effort to save the day, Coach
Kennedy then sent in McCosh and
Captain Stewart, both of whom were
crippled. but their advent into the
game seemed to give life to the team
and for few minutes it showed evil
dence of a come back.
Harr kicked off forty yards to Nc
Gosh who returned eighteen, but the
Emporians intercepted forward
pass and punted just before the close
of the quarter.
At the start of the final period
Champeny punted "a yards from his
own 45-yard line and Harr returned
the kick an equal distance. Then Cap
tain Stewart tried to open up with a
passing game similar to the one the
invaders had used successfully. The
first pass failed, but the second to Nc
Gosh netted 10 yards.
The Ichabods' Only Chance.
Champeny logged the ball for
ward yards and Perry made first
downs. Then a pass, Stewart to Hell
Ter. carried the ball to Emporia's A.
yard line, the closest it had been dur
ing the game, but a tumble lost it and
Harr punted 25 yards to Champeny.
McCosh failed to gain and Harr inter-
cepted a pass, but was downed in his

and then punted.

AN ACE OF DUBS.
Menke Says There Are No Real
Fighters Nowadays.
Yet the Public Falls Hard for
Every Ring Match.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Nov. 24.-Barnum prob
ably had some of the lovers of pugil-
ism in mind when he uttered his ia
nous utterance.
Can a man be regarded as other
than a sucker who pays out from
81 to $40 in these days to see the
hippodroming of the present day
Fighters" whose only ambition is to
shake down the promoters for huge
purses and give in return a burlesque
on prize fighting?
1t is beyond understanding how
men can be beguiled time after time
into paying big prices to see farcical
bouts; to pay them not once or twice,
but continue to pay out the money
knowing each time that they aren't
going to get their moneys worth
they are going to be cheated Where
else can they be classed except in the
sucker" division
Most prominent among the boys
who have Brought the sport of boxing
into disrepute by their awful exhibit

Kilbane, Al Mccoy and a score of
others. 1t is about time for the pro-

Jack Dillon hasn't fought worth
while battle since he mixed it with
Frank Moran. He has been content
to take things eaSy-tO the utter dis
gust of the men who were his warmest
admirers who bet real money on their
favorite-and lost it. AS for Mike
Gibbons-well, the oldest inhabitant
may recall Mikes last good showing.
None of the younger generation seems
able to shoot memory back as far as
that About the only thing Mike has
accomplishment loafing-in a
long, long time was the knockout of
Jake Ahearn, a vastly overrated

Battling Levinsky hasn't been quite
as hippodromish as the other two-but
he has been bad enough. He has con-
tracted that "in-and- out habit SO
common among the fighters of this
day and there's no doping" for his
battles. He lams the wadding out of a
giant one week and looks like a noivce
against a midget in his next start.
One of the mysteries of the fight
game just now is how the public con-
tinues to stand for those bunk Dillon
Levinsky affairs. They've fought each
other dozen times or so, and never
once, have they seemed to give their
best. Each seems to harbor some love
for the other that forbids slugging-
and the fights, for the most part, have
been nothing but hugging matches
with each taking equal turns in win
ming.
The next promoter who suggests
another Dillon-Levinsky fight" de-
serves to be guillotined.
oh! for Those Old Days!
