has been criticized for taking things

Agutter says: What she may lack

dazzling footwork or terrific speed
Her speed, according to Agutter
is very deceptive. She has an un

by a long. powerful reach and the
ability to stroke from any position

dOwned Ohio State here today. II to.
3.,in the fourth annual gridiron clash
between the two schools. Instead of
employing. the forward pass, as had
been expected, the Buckeyes resorted
to straight foot ball. Chicago played
its usual game of straight foot bail
for the most part. .
Today's game evens the score be-
tween the two universities. Ohio
State previously having won two
games and Chicago one. Chicago's
strength was increased greatly just
before today's game when Harry
Thomas was declared eligible and
was permitted to play.
The Buckeyes brought the first
blood in the initial period when they
twice carried the ball to within a few
feet of Chicago's goal line, and finally
kicked a field goal when they were
unable to score a touchdown.
Chicago scored touchdowns in the
second and third periods and a field
goal in the final franc. Both touch
downs were made after long runs. In
tie second period John Thomas broke
through Ohio for a run Of So yards.
and, in the third period Pyott. receiv-
ing a punt, ran 40 yards for another
touchdown. Roherke kicked both
goals
In the last period Chicago, with
but two minutes to play worked the
ball to Ohio's 15-yard line, where
Roherke kicked beautiful field goal.
Hoge Workman, who featured for
Ohio State, made the Buckeyes field
goal from the 13-yard line.
