WIKOFF'S WARRIORS
HUMBLE N. V. C.
Cadets Roll Up q Points While
The COllegians Are Unable
to Score.
From W. N. Trumpeter

Wentworth's team proved its rea.
worth last Friday by defeating the
heavy Missouri Valley College eley.
en- by the decisive score Of q to 0
The game was hard.fought, much
harder than the score would indicate
But W. NJ. A. clearly had the supe-
rior team. The first half witnessed
the Red and White gaining on the
wonderful back-ield work of Barry
Hollis, and Bradfeld, aided by a Sc
ries of brilliant passes which Houser
received, One touchdown was made in
each of the first and second quarters
In the third quarter Missouri Valley
played her best. On line plays and
passes they worked the ball down to
Wentworth's five yard line. Here
Barry turned the tide by intercept
ing a forward pass and running for
thirty yards.
The last quarter was all Went
worth's. A varied attack of %plunges,
runs, and passes that bewildered the
opponents, finally resulted in a touch
down when Cook L. received a pass
behind the goal line. A few minutes
later Houser picked up a fumbled
ball and ran thirty yards across the
goal.
The feature of the game was a
forty-fve yard run through a brok-
en- field by Hollis, h~alf-back, result
ing in a touchdown. The Texas boy
gave a fine exhibition Of squirming,
wiggling, and twisting through the
grasp of the college tacklers. In the
line, Captain Jack Houser starred,
especially in receiving forward pass
es. "Gobbo" Moore was also very
deadly to the other team on the de-
Tense. Labrunierie played a heady
game at quarter and when Cook D.
went in in the last half, he showed
his old form by brilliant running and
passing.
The day was exceedingly hot but
a large crowd Of people witnessed
the game.
First Quarter.
Wentworth won the toss and re-
ceived the kick. Labrunierie caught
the ball, fumbled, and Hollis recov-
cred. Hollis and Bradfeld by line
plunges made first down. Hollis
gained ten yards over tackle. He and
Bradfeld continued gaining by line
plunges until w. M. A. received a
ten yard penalty. Then came the Sc
ries of brilliant short passes over
the line to Houser. Jack caught the
first n for a ten yard gain. An
other n followed which he took for
ten yards again. W. M. A. suffered
a five yard penalty. Again a pass
to Houser made up the loss, Hollis
went six yards on a plunge, Barry
three, and Hollis made the touch
down. Labrunierie failed to kick
goal. W. NJ. A. 6; NJ. v. C. 0.
Wentworth kicked off to Missouri
Valley The collegians fought des-
perately but could not gain through
the line MOI by attempted forward
passing. Houser and Moore fire
quently wrecked plays before they
hardly started. Finally Missouri Val
ley punted. Wentworth failed to
gain and Cooke L., punted beautifully
for forty-fve yards.
On the first play the college men
gained ten yards through tackle. But
there they we're held and punted
weakly, only twenty yards. The
quarter ended with the ball in Went
worth's possession on their own
thirty-fve yard line.
Second Quarter.
Missouri Valley held and the two
teams exchanged several punts, keep
ing the ball near mid-feld. Neither
side gained much, and Wentworth
suffered several off-side penalties
Cooke L., was making some fine
punts. With the quarter two-third:
