Estimate of Number of Bushels Raised
in State Is Made.
The State Board of Agriculture, In
Its monthly report issued yesterday es
timates this year's corn crop at 170
million bushels. This is for an aver
age yield of 23 bushels. An early esti
mate, subject to revision upon receipt
of the final figures, shows 7,382,000
acres in corn.
The wheat crop is going in very late,
the latest in the history of the State.
Late seeding is due, first, to a delib
erate plan to delay the work on ac
count of Hessian fly; second, to an ex
cess of moisture which has made the
fields too wet to work. It is estimated
that but one-third of the crop has
been seeded.

SEVEN TOUCHDOWNS
AGIST BAPTISTS
Missouri's Defeat of William
Jewell Equals That
by Kansas.
SCORE WAS 46 TO 0
Line Shows Strength and
Backs Make Many
Long Gains.
Missouri has a football team in
spite of the cry that the line is weak.
That line kept William Jewell from
scoring yesterday and assisted the
backfield in making a total of 46 points.
Kansas won from William Jewell last
Saturday, 48 to 2; Missouri won from
William Jewell this Saturday, 46 to 0.
It was a case of too much football yes
terday for the plucky visitors.
The game was interspersed with
many thrills. Long runs around end
for Missouri, many yards on forward
passes and goodly plunges through the
Baptists' line pleased the rooters. Wil
liam Jewell tried only a few plays be
sides punting.
The Tigers showed better headwork
and more football. Once, when Col
lins had fumbled the ball when re
ceiving a punt, splendid blocking kept
off the William Jewell men until the
Tiger quarterback could recover.
Missouri lost the ball on downs
twice in the first half once within
two yards of the William Jewell goal
at the end of the first period and later
in the third period. The Tigers lost
a total of 115 yards In penalties.
Woody, playing fullback, brought
the rooters to their feet when he ran
the length of the field with splendid
interference until he had crossed the
opponents' goal. But the effort was
useless for a touchback had already
been called by the official. It was a
pretty1 piece of work not to be per
fect
Clay Played WeU.
The work of Captain Clay at tackle
and especially in charging into the
William Jewell backfield was good.
Shepard's punting was consistent and
he bids for a chance of holding high
est rank in the Valley for his toe.
Groves also charged well.
Missouri gains for long distances
were frequent. The 70-yard run of
the speedy Lake standing out above
all. The Missouri line up was
changed all through the last three
periods. Shepard played halfback and
end. Lake played halfback and full
back. The light backfield Lake,
Woody and Miller was used. Collins
did exceptional work In returning al
though he fumbled a few. Once when
he was returning a kickoff he burst
the ball by falling on i when tack
led. Time was called until a new one
was procured.
Twice William Jewell got within 20
yards of the Tiger goal and twice Wa
terman failed to score by kicks from
placement. The game by quarters:
First Quarter.
The Missouri Tigers, after Captain
Clay had chosen the west goal by
rieht of the tossup, with the wind be
hind their backs, faced the visitors.
Shepard stood out in the early gains
with two plunges of 15 and 20 yards
respectively. By a series of line
smashes the Tigers forced the William
Jewell team back until Shepard went
through the line 2 yards for the first
touchdown of the game. Graves
kicked goal.
The Tigers, in spite of the penalties
which reached a total of 50 yards in
this quarter, kept the ball In William
Jewell's territory. Because of the loss
of ground by penalties, the Tigers be
gan on forward passes, the first suc
cessful throw being that of Dunckel to
Speelman for 34 yards. Later Missou
ri made use of the forward pass and
eained 30 yards, Dunckel to Herndon.
The quarter ended when Missouri had
advanced the ball and lost it on the
fourth down by failing to cross the
coal by one yard. The ball went to
William Jewell. The score at the end
of this period was Missouri 7, William
Jewell 0.
Second Quarter.
William Jewell punted but the Ti
mers soon shoved the Baptists back
and sent Dunckel through two yards
for a touchdown. Graves kicked goal.
It wasn't long until Missouri was
again driving back the William Jewell
men. When within three yards or me
coveted goal line. Graves was given
