A drop-kick by Mahlberg in the
third quarter enabled the College of
Emporta to winNfrom Baker univer-
sieS Friday afternoon on the Baker
field by the score OF 8 to o..
The drop-kick was made from the
25-yard line by the college man, and
went neatly and clearly thru the
cross-bars for the only counter Of the
game.
The game. from the standpoint of
criticism, was not all it should be. for
either team. Listens Orange warriors
were wild, erratic, and only when
their goal was threatened did they
show determination to prevent a coun-
ter.
Twice during the game the Baker
ties held like a stone wall when the
charging c. of E. men had the ball i'll
dangerous Baker territory and had d
chance to make a counter.
A high wind, a muddy field and two
crippled teams were the reasons why
the game was not better The college
from Emporia. had she been able TO
use Grant, would undoubtedly have
been able to count a touchdown. But
Grant reposed on the side lines dur
ing the entire game nursing a
wrenched knee.
Friend, Bakers center, is the colm's
idea of a misplaced athlete. HIS
passes to BollinGer and other back
field men were not what they should
have been Time and again during
the game, loss of from five to twenty
yards could be checked directly to
Friend by a poor pass which, caused a
backfield tumble.
The game was a little disappoint-
Ing. Harr Mahlberg and Scott for
Emporia played good ball, while Boil
linger and Wright deserve the credit
for Baker.
c. of Els ability to sift thru the
Baker line on defense was a joy to
the White and Red supporters, and a
trial to Bollinger, Wright and other
backfield men. Baker lost q few
precious yards when thrown behind
the line of scrimmage, due to the in
ability OF their line to hold the Henry
warriors.
BolIinger, Baker end, had a lot of
practice for his punting toe in the bat
tie, as did Harr of c. of E. The men
of~bOth sides we're doing lot of fight
ing, and Baker was held for downs
constantly. Bollinger punted twelve
times for a total of $50 yards, while
Harr booted the pill eight times for
yardage of 230. The Henry men made
eight first downs, four of them in sue
cession on one march down the field.
Baker made one first down, that on
a penalty.
Penalties were given freely by Ref
cree Eddie Cochrane. Umpire SCOOP"
Hill. and HeadEnesman Uhrlaub yes
terday. TIE College of Emporia got
decidedly the worst of it in this de-
partment of the game. Four fifteen
yard penalties, and others totaled sew
enty yards for the Red and White
Baker received two penalties for off
sides play. The fifteen yard Emporia
penalties We're for holding, with one
exception.
The conclusion, summed up, is that
neither c. of f. nor Baker were at
their full war-strength in Fridays en-
counter. Furthermore, the reputation
compiled by Coach Gwin Henry thru
three years of c. of z. coaching is
liable to depletion unless the c. of E.
men can gather more punch. more
fight and more ability to, gain when
gains are needed. Baker is not to be
feared in this seasons conference, un-
less Liston can whip his men to better.
much better efforts in every depart
ment of the game.
Mahlberg. c. OF f. star. who played
a short period at quarterback Friday
afternoon, is a real star. His pass to
Harr for fifteen yards. the only COM
pleted pass of the game. was a marvel
of perfection. If his drop-kicking
ability of Friday is a criterion of his
drop-kieking OF every day, the oppos-
ing goal line is in danger a lot of
the time during every game in which
he plays.
Kimmel, Fairmount quarterback. is
still meteoring for the Hoover gang.
His generaIship and fighting abilities.
coupled with several beautiful long
runs, made possible a Paramount
victory over Bethany at Wichita Fri
day. The final count was 10 to o.
The Bethany men played wonderful
ball. Their defense was admirable.
