Washburn did the trick saturday.
In defeating the Emporia Normals
10 to z, the Ichabods upset the dope
again, and made glad the hearts of
many Topekans and students who
were dubious about the outcome of
the contest.
And Washburn deserved to win
Every man on the Blue team played
q football. The redoubtable Normalites
were outplayed in every department of
the game.
The star Normal backfield. COM
posed of Stewart, Dillon, Davis and
earle, could gain only at times-never
consistently.
The much feared passes of earle
did not materialize. The shifty work
of Dillon thru a broken field was not
much in evidence and the lauded work
of Davis thru the line was not to be
seen Saturday.
Washburns line played the real
game. The line fought hard, desper-
ately and effectively. Davis, altho
making a few gains was held time
and again. Dillon was also stopped,
and earle was covered so his passes
could not find Judgement in Yellow
arms.
1t was a great day for the Blues. no
doubt about that. And the work of
Kennedy and Cossman, Washburn
tackles, stood out. Three times, on
the Normal goal after Washburn had
lost the ball on downs, the two giant
tackles HURLED thru the line and
blocked Davis's punt. The third time,
the ball was recovered and Washburn
accorded a touchdown. We've heard
the play called a fluke. If it was that
we're proud of the ''fluky' playing of
Kennedy and Cossman- In our eyes
it seer ed a wonderful exhibition of
charging thru the line. And the Nor
NAL line was supposed to be good.
And in the backfield, the playing of
Art Brewster was a revelation to the
fans. This man Just got mad, stayed
mad and banked the Normal line UNI
til it crumpled before his assault.
Brewster was easily the outstanding
star of the Ichabod backffeld. And he
grinned thruout the entire game. A
few more fullbacks of the calibre of
Art Brewster would help a lot in the
Kansas conference.
The College of Emporia made some
formidable dope when it played the
Oklahoma A and NJ. football team to
a II tie Saturday at saltwater. The
tie was well taken when it can be
seen that the Oklahomans made fiji
teen first down to c. of Els three.
The famous Harold Grant made the
score for Emporia by racing fifty yards
for a touchdown.
a lOL OF ASPIRATIONS Oh members u
, x. US football squad were shattered
Saturday when the Oklahoma Sooners
marched thru the K. U. line at will
ana won, "a to Z. !
The victory was entirely unex- I
pccted.
Oklahoma played the Kansans off
their feet for the first three quarters,
scoring three touchdowns and kicking
a field goal But Kansas staged a
comeback in the fourth. A forward
pass. Wilson to McAdams, was good
for the necessary yardage for touch
down.
While the Kansas line was easily
penetrated by the Oklahomans, the
Sooner defense was like a stonewan
Kansas could not gain thru the line,
and resorted to the aerial stuff to
make their lone touchdown.
Baker university swamped st.
Mary's, % to 8, at Baldwin Saturday,
on the Methodist Homecoming day.
Several hundred old grads We're on
= hand to watch the game.
st. Mary's scored first after Baker
tumble had been recovered by st.
Mary's. Brose kicked the pisskin
thru the crossbars for the only score
made by the Catholics during the
game.
Baker began her scoring. in the sec
ond quarter, when Captain Rice made
a touchdown. The counter seemed to
take the heart out of the st. Marys
team, and Baker scored almost at
will.
The Kansas Aggies walked away
with GrinneH Saturday at Manhattan,
81 to 7.
The Aggies clearly had the edge
thT-uout the game. A long pass gave
Grinnell her chance to score, Swartz
and Sebring played well for Manhat-
tan, and McLain, Fearing, Walters
and Datesman made possible the lone
score for the Grinnellians.
Manhattan made fifteen first downs
to the Grinneu five.
