IN the annual thanksgiving
game with Wentworth and won
a 19 to 0 victory over their old {
rivals. They brought down a
fast, heavy team which was a.
BILE to smother all of w. M. AS
offense except end runs. Kem-
per resorted mostly to straight
football.
4 The threatening clouds of the
morning blew away and a crowd
of nearly 5000 people witnessed
| the kickoff. Kemper received
and punts we're exchanged, KEN
per gaining greatly by this ex-
change. Then on line smashes
/ they advanced the ball. Went
worth was pushed out of the
way and the big heavy backs
{ of Kennper crushed through. The
t big Indian, Barnett, took the
ball over for K. M. SIS first
1 touchdown.
/ In the second quarter w. M.
] A. stopped the visitors attack
and also gained consistently on
end runs, Pilley made two first
! downs IN succession. But when
the bali was in position to score
! a tumble lost ground and w. M.
Z A. failed to put the necessary
!, punch into the play.
n In that quarter Wentworth
had the ball much of the time
!; in Kempers territory, twice on
g the ten-yard line. But not an
. inch further could they advance.
- Kemper smOthered all plays.
~ Early in the fourth quarter
i, when Wentworth was putting uI
+ II a good game, someone in the
! back-feId missed a signal entire
. ly. The center passed the bal
~ swiftly back, no one was ther'
A. to catch it, it rolled over tn,
10 goal line and Coglizer recovered
~ lit. That's the way Kemper mad,
,,s the second score.

emily. They did not complete
single forward pass, thoug
Y. they tried several. Their en-
W runs were ineffective. The
