oklnhomans Tore the Line.

The OklahOmas tore off most Of
their gains OH straight football,
smashing through the line or hreez-
ing around ends. Thorpe's team was
unable 70 pierce the stone wall pre-,
sented by McMahon's athletes and
the bulk OF their yardage gained
came from forward paases hurled
by the great Thorpe
The dyed -ln-the wool football fans
who defied the weather to get u
glimpse OF Jim Thorpe and others
OF fame in the Maroon line-up In
action were amply rewarded. ANY
one who went out with the idea that
Thorpe would play for IA few minutes
and then retire had another guess
coming. The Indian played through
out the first three periods, leaving
the game only at the opening Of the
last quarter
Thorpe Wouldn't Quit
Thorpe got a great cheer from the
crowd early in the third period
After tackl!ng an oklahoma back
Thorpe was thrown 10 the ground
and Knocked out. The game was
halted and artificial respiration was
applied fer two minutes before the |
giant Redskins breathing appnrht tusl
was pct in order. Falcon. who was
directing the Maroons. called for "a
substitute for Thorpe and one went |
dashing into the field from the side
lines, but Thorpe refused to get out,
waving the sub back.
= 'Red' Roberts, tho famous Centre
college running mate OF DO" Nc
Mlllin, played throughout the game.
lie did nothing spectacular. In the
sea OF clinging mud Roberts didn't
show 20 much advantage, handicap
ped as he was by q considerab bic un-
necessary poundage that he has pick
ed up in tho last year
Even In IuEyiage
fhe two teams were about even
in yardage and also in downs The
pklahomans game near scoring twice
once was when the gigantic Dutch"
Strauss Circled the Maroons' right
end for beautiful rum and put the
nali on the Maroons' l2~yard line
The Toledo line then held firmly
The next oklahoma chance came in
the last quarter when the Al-Star
carried the bail 20 within Is yards OF
their opponents goal and VIII Ray
tried place kick, but kicked low
and the ball crashed in among Rays
own mates
The Maroons got tho bah to OKLA
homa's eight-yard line in the third
quarter and on the third down with
four yards to 20 smashed at center
Jerry Jones threw the Maroon, ear

Ia the same period the Maroons
tried place Kick from the l5-yard
llne, but Big Bill' Mckinley
blocked the kick and "Tuhhyr TYLER
recovered aud carried tho bali TO
mldfield, putting the Oklahomans
out of DANGER,
Strauss brightest Star.
Dutch Strauss was the outstand-
ing individual star OF the game. The
olg Phillips star. two years out of
football and doing no harder work
than pounding a typewriter In a
newspaper office, time and again
smashed through the Toledo line for
big gains and sklrted the Toledo
right end, guarded by the great Pete
CalaX OF Carlisle. for more than one
important dash. lIo came near
scoring IA touchdown once. getting
away clean only TO be run out of
bounds by the Toledo safety and a
half back.
A catch by Calax Of a forward
pass thrown by Thorpe. Was a fea-
ture. He leaped between two Okla
homans and grabbed the bah pretA a
uly. 'Dutch" I'm of the Au-Stars
intercepted several Toledo passes.
The mud kept Thorpe from doing
much broken field running, but he
Gid get away once and appeared 20
be OFF for touchdown. He stepped
out of bounds before crossing tho
line, however and the ball was sent
back.
