in a hard fought game Saturday
afternoon on Washburn field. the
Ichabods won their second game by
one point margin. Last week Baker
lost to the Ichabods II to 16.
Roth Fairmount and Washhurn
were fighting hard in every minute Of
the game. The only criticism that
could possibly be advanced on the
game, outside Of the fumbling, would
be on the "beefing." Both teams
showed a marked tendency toward
grabbing. The referee was compelled
several times to call players, threaten
them with penalties unless the crab
bing was stopped.
But the game as a whole was a
thriller to the spectators.
Fairmount scored in the first eight
minutes of play on a beautiful forward
pass, Kimel to Mcmahon. Washburn
blocked the kick for goal
Art Brewster made a beautiful re-
turn of fifty five yards on the Fair
mount kickoff, and the Ichabods ad-
vanced the ball down the field to the
twenty-yard line, where Stevens failed
in an attempted drop kick.
Fairmount could not gain after the
ball was put in play on their own
twenty-yard line, and Cossman
blocked a Fairmount punt and recov-
cred the ball on Fairmount's ten-yard
line. Two successive fumbles, due to
bad passes from center, cost the Icha-
bods chance for a touchdown, and
very nearly lost the game. On the
second tumble Wh.ttacre, brilliant
Fairmount end, picked up the ball and
had a clear field, but Brewster dOwned
him on Washburn's thirty five yard
line.
The thriners ceased for a time, and

session OF the ball. on their own
twenty-yard line.
In the second half. following an ex-
change of punts and downs, Euler
made twenty yards on a beautiful
right end run, placing the ball on
Fairmount's twenty-five yard line. A
few more plays advanced the ball fif-
teen yards. Then the mighty Brew
ster was called into play.
He smashed the line for two yards,
seven yards, then over the goal.
Stevens kicked goal, and the score
stood, Washburn 7-Fairmount s.
Both teams opened up with an aerial
attack at this period. Fairmount
made several lateral passes. for gains
but Washburn could not complete
her attempts.

Juggling was nothing but nerve. Stew

time and again and the lad was al
ways good for ground. He will, in
our opinion, wind up his football ca
reer with big honors if he keeps the
present stride. Tired out at the end
of the first half. Brewster kept right
on, always good for gains.
The jinx on stadium openings didn't
hold at K. L. Saturday, and the jay

81 to Z The Aggies made their only
tally in the last quarter.
Kansas like Washburn, scored her
first touchdown in just eight minutes
Of play, when Spurgeon successfully
bucked the line.
Two minutes after the opening of
the second quarter. the Jayhawkers
scored again, following an exchange
of punts, via the pass route.
Again in the latter part of the Sec
ond quarter. a pass from Wilson to
Griffin, over the goal line, netted the
Kansas men a total of 81 points.
But the Aggies didn't stop their
hard struggling.
Altho they gave no indication of
having a chance, the Aggie men
opened up a perfected pass attack in
the last quarter and advanced the ball
to the three-yard line, where Starke
went over the line on an off-tackIe
The remainder of the time was
spent in the middle of the field, with
the Aggies taking long chances of
improbable plays in a vain attempt to
rally.
The Aggie line, doped by those ''who
knew" to be impregnable, was easily
penetrated by Clark's men. So it
goes-the best is none too good.
Bethany college and the Haskell
Indians both won games with out-of-
the-state opponents.
Bethany completely demoralized the
defense of the Chilocco and won. 20
to 0, in a game that was played in a
sea of mud. The Indians didn't
threaten the Bethany goal once during
the game. and were completely out
played.
Haskell, playing great ball, defeated
Tulsa university at Kansas City, 81
to 0, in a game that was spectacula

plenty of thrills during the battle with
his miraculous runs and bucks. He
made two of the Indian touchdewns.

The Nebraska men staged foot

and won, A to 0.
Oklahoma, relying on her speed,
was handicapped by the muddy con-

In the second quarter the Okla

counter by an uncompleted pass over
