RESULTED IN TIE
Aggie- Washburn Game Ends in
0 to 0 Score.
WykOff, Washburn Fullback,
Was Star Performer.

Many times in the last three years
the renowned toe of Dewey Huston has
saved the Aggie aggregation from fail
ure, and turned defeat into victory,
when his teammates were unable to
go beyond the middle of the field, but
even tho History repeats ITSELF" the
famous Dewey failed miserably six
times to bury his toe fairly and
suuarely enough into the pigskin TO
make a three point counter, IN the
annual Washburn -Aggie game Ihurs-
day afternoon on Washburn field his
first attempt, from the SO yard line,
was his best, and the ball fell short or
IT'S mark several yards. The other five
attempts were absolute failures, the
oval never leaving the ground more
than 25 or 80 feet. Earle Palmauer,
Washburn halfback, made one attempt
for goal from the 3S yard hne' anu
missed by inches.
The game was accorded by spec
tators and participants TO pc the
hardest of the % annual psttles
fought by the two schools. the lena
bods fought like wildcats against their
slightly heavier opponents, and the
ARgies were unable to penetrate the
st9ne-wall defense of Ream's aggre-
cation for any considerable gains; IN
the last nalf, the Purple resortea 10
the overhead attack to VIM ana as
mass after pass was completed by the
Rachnan men, the Blue chances
looked slim. After advancing the oali
10 the 12-vard line, a tumble by COW
ell and a recovery by Kennedy lost
the Aggies their only chance to score
Washburn's closest attempt was
made in the first four minutes OF
plav, when the Blue warriors ad-
vanced the ball by straight football 70
the 5-yard line, where they had fourth
down and goal to make. the Aggle
line held alright and Wykoff was
unable to go across.
Wykoff Was Star.
Wykoff giant Washburn fullback'
was the star performer of the game.
nine after time the big fullback
smashed the Aggie line for materlal
gains, always falling his full length
toward the opposition's goal When
at least five men had tackled MN ana
were hanging to various parts OF ms
anatomy. This big boy would make
good back on any football team
Cowen, Hind and Huston, star Aggle
Dlayers. played a stellar game Tor the
Farmers. Illusions offensive work
was wonderful. and the entire Dack-
field personnel were equally capaole
at either passing or receiving a pass;
A Cowell to Kinds, Goelke 10 CoWeH
and vice versa combination was re
corded many times in the score sheet
Funbles were costly to both Sides
altho the number of fumbles was no
Loss than in other games. The occa-
sions under which the fumbles were
made were always costly, and they de-
manded more importance gwen 70
them than they otherwise would: IN
order to avoid the fast-calhng DARK
ness. the officials agreed upon Twelve
and a half-minute quarters
Solve Notre Dame Shift.
Tho famous Notre Dame shift,
which Coach Bachman taught to the
Aggies and found it an all season Jop'
was easily solved by the local war
riors and altho Quarterback AXellne
called the play time and again, the
TVashburn tackIers shifted thru the
interference and got the ball-lugger.
The Purple interference presented a
formidable appearance as II started
around either end. and the Washpurn
supporters would gasp, but somehow
the ends and tackles on the Washburn
squad would get thru. The same sue
cess in solving the shift did not apply
TO Notre Dame pass play. however
and many yards were made by the
men from A.gieville via the overhead
system. Earle Palmatier, haltoack,
won himself a place in the lchaooo
hall of fame by the ability shown in
getting the receiver of pass on MS
side of the line. P7lmy, playing sec
ondarv defense downed the Aggie re-
ceiver eight times during the game, in
his tracks, after he had the ball.
Three times during the game Palmy
intercepted an AGgie attempt for
good gain.
Laurel Boies, who played wonder
full game most of the first half, until
he was taken out of the fight with an
injury. was replaced by Norman Jemi-
son. This man, who has been out of
the game the entire season with
broken collar bone, received in the
first game of the season with Ne
braska showed an ability at left end,
