Well, the dope pot was upset badly
Friday and Saturday. Somebody gave
that said pot a terrible kick, and
everything went awry in conference
and valley circles.
Teams that were doped for igno-
minous defeat delivered surprises, and
teams slated for victories showed COM
plete form reversals and lost.
It's a funny world. True, isn't it.
that the worm does turn. It's been
turning nearly every Saturday re-
Gently.
While Southwestern college was
threatening the College of Emporia
men with an aerial attack that never
was delivered, the c. of E. boys bored
straight ahead, passing now and then
with effectiveness, and won the game
IA to 0, Saturday at Winfield.
Grant of c. of Z. took a forward
pass and ran forty yards for the
first touchdown in the second quarter,
then suffered an injury in the third
quarter and was withdrawn from the
game. But not before he made an
other beautiful run of SO yards for
the second touchdown. The mound
builders made fourteen first downs to
Emporia's seven.
Harold Grant. of c. of E, alI-state
half back last year, seems to be off on
another season. of spectacular play
ing. His first game played against the
Aggies, gave him only a few chances
for star performing, but he made the
most of them with several end runs.
He was on the side lines of the sec
ond c. of Z. game against Baker with
injuries, but his third game. the
Southwestern affair, gave him
chance to show his wares to good ad-
vantage Grant is a heady, speedy,
shifty player.
The Emporia Normals-"Yaps" as
they are affectionately called by their
towrsmen-made a complete cleanup,
to the score of AZ to 0, against ]. @
Banbury's Friends team Saturday at
EmpOria.
The game was 'iup in the air." figur-
atively as far as the Quakers were
concerned. and in the air literally for
the Normalites.
A forward pass attack, marshaled
auto ,ara1r
ti1ued thruout the game, with success,
whenever counters were necessary.
The Quakers were taken completely
off their feet in the first half, and
when the whistle denoted the eXpira-
ton of time for the first two periods,
the Quakers were backed completely
down. while the 'Yaps" had four
touchdowns to their credit. Davis,
Normal left halfback, made every
touchdown for the Normals in the
first period.
Coaches Hargiss and Schabinger of
the Normal substituted nearly a full
team in the second half (wherein they
proved their ability as coaches if any
GoUbters were presenD.
Macy, star Friends halfback, re
ccived broken cheek bone in the
play that may lose him the loss of one

saved.
We're watching with pleasure the
performance of Dillon, Normal half
back This gentleman is a dYed-in-

Kansas Aggie fumbles lost them a
game Saturday against Creighton Uni
versity, 4 to Z. The fumbles were
committed consistently thruout the
game, and two of them cost the Farm
ers the Creighton victory.
Nemkh, Creighton half grabbed an
Aggie tumble on the opponents thirty
yard line and went for touchdown in
the second period. An Aggie punt to
the Creighton fifteen-yard line, was
touched slightly by an Aggie player,
then grabbed up by Long, Creighton
quarterback, and carried nearly the
full length of the field for a touch
down.
The Aggies scored in the last quar-
ter when a forward pass, Starke to
Sebring, put the ball over for the
single AgSie countery.
