Illegal use of the hands of offense
by AIah1berg, c. of E. quarterback, on
| a play that cost the College of En-
poria a touchdown. coupled with eff
fective forward passing by Pittsburg
| Normals, enabled Pittsburg to win the
game Friday afternoon at Emporia.
The score was II to 10.
Pittsburg scored first in the initial
period, when a forward pass. Alyea to
Luke, was completed for a touchdown.
The Manuals outplayed the College
! completely In the first quarter and
of the goal by a series of line plunges
| and end runs.
In the second p--iod the Presby-
terians scored when Grant stretched
of line bucks. M hlberg booted a
pretty place kick from the twenty-five
yards line a little on in the second
period.
With the score 10 to against them
in the last half, the Pittsburg men
found themselves unable to gain. The
Henry warriors fought hard to prevent
| another touchdown. A fumbled- punt
in G. Of E. territory gave Pittsburg
the ball, however, and a pass, Alyea
! to Price, gave Pittsburg her winning
| touchdown.
Crippled by the loss of two stars,
Sweat, colored halfbaek. and Scott,
! quarter, the Manuals deserve credit
for the manner in which they played.
Alyea, star halfback, who took Seotts
| place at quarter. played heady game,
and his forward passing was response
Bile for both Pittsburg touchdowns.
Hard luck persists in following the
| Pittsburg players. Coach Garfield
| Weede is sure that a link" is on his
| camp.
Not content with two cripples on
| the Manual squad, old man Hard
Luck" added another injury in the
person of Earl Opie, star right guard
| of the Manuals. Opie was taken from
the field just before the final whistle
in Fridays game, with a broken leg.
| Two bones, one below and one above
the lads ankle on the left leg are
broken.
The game developed many strong
| contenders for alI-state honors
| Price, Pittsburg left end. who alter
mates at halfback on offense when
needed, played stellar game. His
pass snagging was accurate, and his
BUD Wid:ck, c. of e. center,
played the best game of the day for
| Emporia. Widick has not received
! the credit due him this season. His
90 pounds of beef is in use all the
time. His defensive as we'll as often
sive work is great, and every play
finds W3dick present.
Doty, Pittsburg center, played a
| great game, also. Harold Grant, Co.'s
! lege of Emporia halfback, got his first
real chance of the season for brilliant
work in Fridays game. Fast, shifty
and speedy, the 'Iightin' Streak"
made some pretty runs at crucial
| times for the Red and White.
Mahlberg, a protege of Assistant
! Coach Cravens of C. of E. from Mil
| waukee. is rapidly developing into
quarterback fully able to fill the shoes
of Jaquith, last years all-state quarter
from the Presbyterian school. His
psychology of the game was good yes
terday, but his use of the hands on
offense cost the Emporians the need
ed touchdown to win. Mahlberg is
excusable on this play, for the reason
that he was badly crippled and in
playing the game with bad leg, felt
the necessity of getting the man. In
his attempt to stop a Pittsburg tackler
Mahlberg, unable to leave his feet on
the block, used his hands. The ball
when stopped was over the goal, but
the penalty was, of course, given.
The dope on the game went to the
bad-as usual. c. of E., considering
the crippled condition of the Pittsburg
team, should have had the game. Not
until the Pittsburg touchdown was
made in the early part of the first pc
i Rod, did the -Emporians realize the
necessity for playing ball Their fight
was present in double form during the
balance of the game.
Offsides penalties. inflicted several
times during the game when the goa!
line was threatened, lost. the game for
Kansas wesleyan Friday against Hays
Normal, 18 to O.
| The Hays men scored in the first
period when Albert, halfback, broke
for a 55-yard run, after receiving a
Wesleyan kick.
The other two touchdowns came in
the last half, and were made on
straight football.
The Hays men should develop a
kicker. Three attempts at goals for
touchdowns were fizzles.

first game of the season Friday
against the Hutchinson reformatory
team, rs to 0.
! Two touchdowns in the first six
minutes of play is stepping some An
aerial attack featured the game for
the Mcpherson men.
Dope suffered another upset Friday
when Ottawa won over st. Marys, 10
to Z.
The first quarter was spent unevent-
fully, but the seco d period received
an suspicious start when Rama ciotti,
st. Mary's captain and fullback, re-
! covered a fumbled punt and ran SO
l yards for touchdown. With only
Y five minutes of tt same quarter to
play, Ottawa made a series of line
bucks and plunges and went over for
a touchdown.
| With the score tied, the third qu4r-
ter was hotly contested. A drop kick
by Darner, Ottawa quarterback. added
the necessary three points to the OF
tawa total
Penalties did damage to ST. Mary's
I in the game. zaThree times the Cath
oIies advanced the ball TO the oppon-
ent's ten-yard line, and each time fif-
teen-yard penalties lost the distance.
Roughing penalties were freqhent

three different occasions for this VIC
lation.
