COLLEGE
DEFEATS TARKIO

Springfield, October 2T.-Playing q
fast, driving brand of football the
Teachers College Bears yesterday
overwhelmed the Tarkio aggregation
by a score of so to 0. The Bears
outplayed the Tarkio outfit in every
department Of the game, with the
possible exception of forward pass
ing. The visitors, finding in the later
stages of the game that the pass was
their only strong point, attempter
the pass time and again in frantic
endeavor to score.
Cherry, playing left halfback for
the Bears, was the outstanding star
of the game. His best showing was
running. Rose, at fullback, went
through the Tarilio line as often as
he carried the ball for eight and ten
yard gains. Reynay:d, right half
back, Henderson, fullback, and Reeves
at right tackle, showed exceptional
ability. The Teachers college Line at
all times proved a veritable stone wall
when the visitors attempted line
plunges.
The zeal star of the Talfio team
was the diminutive Kyle, who played
the quarterback position throughout
the game. He worked well both on
offensive and defense.
The game opened with Tarkio win
ming the toss-up and choosing to de-
fend the south goal. Reynaud receiv-
ed the kickoff and ran the ball back
TO the Tarkio 25-yard line. After
working the ball to Tarkio's two-yard
line the Bears were held for downs.
Tarkio punted. After an attempt at
field goal by Reynaud, Tarkio punted
again. The Bears again regaining
possession of the ball, Reynaud scored
a perfect field goal from the 35-yard
mark for the first score of the game.
From then on the game was moth
ing but a story of touchdowns by the
Bear team. The only time the Teach
ers college goal was in danger was
shortly after the opening of the second
half, Tarkio, having secured the ball,
worked it down the field by series
of forward passes, to their opponents
20 yard line. where an attempt made
for Il field goal was blocked
