a hard fought game Thanksgiving day.
Many Topekans attended the game. A
touchdown from a fake play and
field goal gave the Topeka team the
winning points.
The playing of the first half was
very evenly matched, neither team be-
ing able to gain successfully thru the
line. The ball was in Clay Center's
territory frequently. but the long punts
of the Clay Center quarterback spoiled
every chance for a Topeka touchdown.
The last half was easily Topeka's.
Soon after the kickoff Topeka carried
the ball to Clay Center's 10-yard line
by line plunges and off tackle plays.
Then on a fake place kick formation
a long pass was thrown to Boyd, To-
peka halfback, who was across the
line Later in another push toward
the Clay Center goal, Boyd kicked a |
field goal from the 20-yard line, Civ
ing Topeka the final counter. The
playing of French, Topeka halfback, |
was the feature of the game. Topeka |
made thirteen first downs and Clay |
Center made five |
The lineup for Topeka was: Right |
END, Johnson; right tackle, Blanken-
beker; right guard, Carmain; center,
