ers on the Aggie side. WyEie started
on a run around right end, was boxed,
and started back around left end. He
was boxed here again, and, seeing that
to run was impossible, he drew back
his arm and passed the ball far past
the line of scrimmage. The ball was
brought back, and put in play in the
same position, with the added down,
ward pass. Now, as for those who
laughed at the play-Wykoff was all
of ten and nearly fifteen yards behind
the line of scrimmage. He was in
danger of being tackled for that much
loss both of yardage and downs so he
threw the ball and took only the loss
of the down.
Cossman, who played all-state
tackle, completely showed up Captain
Gatz, who played opposite him in the
Aggie line. Altho technically the Ag-
gle captain was playing opposite to
the Washburn end, it can still be said
that he was showed up" Cossman
the Aggie backfield, and early in the
game Quarterback Exeline gave up
running the ball thru the powerful
tackle on the left side of Washburn's
line.
Captain Marvin Stevens, quarter
back for Ream's warriors, played
wonderful game, one of the best of his
career. His returns on punts were
always good, several times running as
much as 20 yards.
Coaches Bacnman and Ream had
quite a time over the football used
in the game. which generally goes to
the winning team. They finally de-
cided to flip a coin to get the ball, and
Referee Edmunds told Bachman to
call the coin while in the air. The
coin was tossed, Bachman glued his
eyes to the turning twisting silver, and
called-"Heads" when the coin was a
scant three inches from the floor. His
attempts to time it were of no avail
however and the coin turned up tails
as big as life. The WaShburn-Aggie
game will be remembered in the case
in the gymnasium, where the football
will hold forth with this inscription
1920 Turkey Day-Aggie o, Wash
burn o.
Lee Wykoff made a statement today
that cheered the hearts of every loyal
Washburnite. He said: Il don't care
who wants me at Missouri, Iowa, Min
nesota or any other place. I'm coming
back to Washburn next year and the
year after. Don't think I'll change
my mind, either" Wykoff has been
bid to several different schools for
next year, but his loyalty for Wash
burn is far superior to his hankering
for big Ten, or Missouri valley fame.
Not a single member of the Wash
burn eleven played his last game
Thursday. No man in the lineup is
graduating this year, and they all
signified their intentions to come back
next year. Art Brewster, all-state high
school half, who played with Topeka
high school this year, will enroll in
Washburn in January, and play bas-
ketball with Ream's squad. He will
be eligible for halfback next year, and
will be a valuable addition to the
squad. His hard hitting abilities have
won for him fame in high school foot
ball. Arthur Bonebrake, formerly a
golf champion, who played some all
state football as quarterback with To-
peko high school in 1919, will enroll
next year These two men are sure,
and with the other freshman material
over the state coming. Ream ought TO
have another winner for 1921
The Washburn band blossomed out
in their new uniforms at the game
Thursday Thirty-five strong, and
looking like Naval officers parade,
the band made the round of the field,
a few minutes before the Blue warri-
ors came out on the field. They
looked mighty good, and sounded
better. Professor Kolbaba, of the
school of music at WaShburn, led the
band, and proved himself master at
the art. The new uniforms were
bought by student subscriptions.
