The spPctatois had about made up
their minds that it would be a no-score
paine, when Whit", the Washburn half
back, fumbled a punt on the Washburn
yard line. Pike a flash a black and
yellow striped Colorado Tiger was hug
ting the pig-skin between himself and
the earth. Four bucks: smashing, tear
ing, catapults: and "Tub" Morris went
ier Washburn's goal line for the only
touch down of the game, just four min
utes before the whistle blew ending the
Kiime and the season. The goal-kick
questionable for the ball veered
Flantly outside the post but the referee
fidowd it.
This score meant not only victoxi" for
Colorado, it meant hoimr of an unsual
nature. The goal-line of the Tigers
"as uncrossed throughout the scasin.

Ichabod have gathered all the bad luck
which one team can have in a year, and
yesterday they added that cap-sheaf.
That one fumble cost them the game.
"Vp to that time both teams were at a
standstill, the ball endangering neither
goal. At no time through the contest
before that one error did it appear that
either side would score.

Tb" second half had progressed 20
minutes and the play found the ball in
the middle of the held in Colorado's
prssession.Lenriox went around Smlley's
fnd on an old-fashioned crisscross and
behind good interference broke away
for a 2S yard run. being overtaken how
ever, and downed by Piatt. But the
Tigers tailed at further atempt to ad
vance the bail. Mass plays, hurdles
and fakes all w-ere without result. The
order for a punt was given and the ball
sailed to Washburn's seven-yard line.
"White who was playing back had plenty
of chance to get the ball fairlv but he
waited for the bound and fumbled. Len
nox was down upon him and fell upon
the ball as it caromed off White's out
etrefched arms.
" Kold em! Hold m'" came from
the Washburn bleachers. But the Blue
line was unequal to the onslaught
which the Tigers were putting- behind

been, had the weather been even a few
degrees more moderate. It was neces

measures to keep warm, and a jmod
many did harder work than the play
ers in the effort. The cold numbed the
fingers of the gridiron warriors and
made it hard for them to handle the
bail. It must be said", however, that
along this line there was little to com
plain of. The fumbling was rare, but
when it came it pioved costly to Wash
burn. V Punting Duel.
The game brought forth the most re
markable punting duel ever seen on
Washburn field. Throughout the first
half both stiles continually called the
signal to kick. A few ineffectual at
tempts to pierce the line, the punting
formation, a kick, the consequent
scampering and hurrying that was the
story of the first twenty-five minutes of
play. And the booting on both sides
was rem:''kable. Millc-? was averaging
3i yards for Washburn while Morgan
was close behind him for the Tigers.

Washburn. The tackling of the Colo
rado ends was little short of ferocious,
but it was clean.
White the Star.
To Left Halfback White of the Wash
burn team go the laurels of being the
star of the game. Though he made the
fumble which indirectly gave Colorado
the advant ige and. the game, his bril
liant work with the exception of that
cue unfottunate instance brought out
cheers from the grandstand again and
again. He started right in by receiving
the kick-otf and came tearing back
through the broken field, for yards.

Morris. ;i;ut Fullback and Cliief
(round (jainer for Colorado Tigers.
Again and again he would smash
through the Tiger line for a gain when
given the ball. On defense he played
a magnificent game. Several times he
broke clear through the line and stop
ped the opposing plays before they had
gotten under way. Millice's punting was
also a feature. He was back in his old
time form. Colorado must place laurels
upon Fullback Morris and Left Half
back Lennox. Both men played stellar
games and their plunging resulted in
most of the gains which their team
made.
Soared Wnsliburii Once.
Just a few moments after the second
half had opened the Mountaineers took
a sudden brace and made first down
three successive times without punting.
This .was the anomaly of the game,
Washburn on two other occasions mak
ing first down twice without booting
the pig skin. The ball was In the mid
dle of the field. Big Tub Morris was
hurled through center for the distance.
Into Smiley' s end, Morgan went smash
ing like a steam engine. "First down,"
cried the referee. The Washburn rooters
began to sit up and take notice, and to
cry: "Hold 'eml" A mass play with
Lennox at the apex carrying the ball
and Morris and Morgan pushing him
netted ano'her five yards. Then a real
feeling of fear set up in the hearts of
the Blue rooters. They thought that the
Coloradoans had suddenly taken a brace
and were masters of the situation. But
then the Sons of Ichabod got busy. Into
th next mass play of the Mountaineers

Colorado offense again and again, but
it tailed. The march was stopped and a
punt was the next part of the program,

so far as actual disabling injuries were
concerned. there were none. isig
"Willie" Wiliiams left the game the
early part of the second half. He had
plaved like a battering ram oh offense,
and like a stone wall on defense.
He put up a great inside game, though
little for the outside to see. The
coaches thought it advisable to take
him out because he was becoming
tired, and Ktchens went to his place at
fullback. The remainder of the game,
however, lacked the daring smashing
bucks of the Hoosier, and the remark
abel defensive tackles by which he has
many a time caused an opposiu? line
to resort to punting to- save itself.
Ijtst r.iuiie for Hill aiul Caldwell.
Two Washburn stars ended their
football career, yesterday with this
game, and defeat. They were Captain
Elmer Hill and Walter Caldwell, the
star negro. Both played magnificent
games. Caldwell got off a brace of
dashing short runs, such as have made
him a gret favorite with the Blue
rooters. Hill's work on defense was
great, the Coloradoans learning- early
in the game that his position was ira
nregnable. "I'm sorry." said Captain
Hiii, "that we lost. I'm more sorry
that it is my last game. I don't like
to think that this is the last time T
shall wear the Wsphburn blue." This
i is all the big captain would sav. He
'showed plainly ili'it he f.it his Vords
and as he turned away there were
tears in nis eyes.
Teams Closely Matched.

teams stands out pre-eminently with

the game. Just to show how nearly

ferocious masses of muscle, beef and
brawn thrown against them.
Referee's Comments.
"It was one of the cleanest games I
ever saw," said Referee Hildreth Frost
of Colorado. "The score should have
Deen 0 to 0. There were lots of close
decisions but none of them counted
directly in the result of the game. I
never saw teams so evenly matched.
Their defense was something remark
able. Both teams were in great con
dition, and fit to the minute for the
struggle. This was shown by the fact
that there were no injuries. Bait for

Rabbit Turned Ijoose.
Between halves a little cotton-tail
rabbit was turned loose on the grid
iron. To his neck were tied long blue
ribbons. The bunnie scamperexi for a
while and then struck out for the
west part of the field. A crowd ran
out from the bleachers and cjiptured
him. He was brought back and turned
loose again, the Coloradoans getting
him this time, and confiscating the
colors.

Fumble.

were defeated by a score of 6 to 0 on
Thanksgiving afternoon.
The score was made on a tluke. At
the beginning of the second half, with
the score 0 to 0, Topeka received the
kick-off on its own 20 yard line. Mc
Farland fumbled the ball on his first
attempt to advance. A Fort Scott
player picked up the pigskin ana
crossed the goal line before he could
be overtaken. The goal was kicked
easily.
The visitors came back hard and by
consistent playing carried the ball to
the five yard line. Penalties were in
flicted and the ball set back five yards.
It was then lost on downs and punted
out of danger. But the Topeka lads
carried the ball back down the field
again and when the whistle blew had
it w ithin one yard of the goal line.
Topeka gained consistently all
through the game, while the locals
made few advances, save two end runs
of fifteen yards each.
The halves were only 15 minutes.
The Fort Scott captain did not come
on the field until 4 o'clock, and inas
much as the visitors had to leave at
6: GO. the halves had to be cut to a
minimum.
There was much wrangling over the
work of the officials. Topeka suffered
the most penalties.

AS 24 TO 0 SCOEE SHOWS
Donald and Brnnner Were the

Broekmeyer Did Best Work for
Defeated Tigers.
Kansas City, Dec. 1. Before the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a
Thanksgiving football game in Kansas
City, the orange and black of Missouri
university was trampled beneath the
feet of the victorious Kansas eleven at
Association park yesterday afternoon.
And it was an ignominious defeat, as
Missouri was not able to score a single
point, and when the game was called,
shortly before S o'clock. It was to the
tune of 24 to 0 that the exulting Jay
hawkers and crestfallen Mlssourians
left the field.
The Missouri team was clearly out
classed in weight, and In the end this
advantage is what gave victory to the
crimson and blue. The two teams
were evenly matched as to skill and
speed, and when Missouri would take
a spurt, as it did several times during
the game, the Tiger gave evidence of
faith in his team. In the end, how
ever, the cornfed Kansans w-lth their
brawn and coarser muscles wore the
Missourians down, and lighter' substi
tutes served only as fuel to the Kansas
lire eaters. In mass plays Kansas re
peatedly made large gains, while its
line was all but impregnable to the
Tigers' onslaughts. The weak spot in
the Kansas line was at right guard,
while the left side of the Missouri
eleven showred evidences of going to
pieces at several stages of the game.
Salisbury, the left end for Missouri,
was a tower of strength, but not large
enough to close the holes made
through his tackle and guard.
A summary of plays shows that
Missouri gained 133 yards in fifty
eight actual rushes while Kansas in
ninety-nine rushes gained 436 yards.
Pooler, for Kansas, kicked eleven
times for 4 S3 yards and Broekmeyer,
for Missouri, kicked eight time3 for
2 95 yards.

Ionaid's Great Flaying.
Coach McLean said of the game:
"It is all summed up in the one
word 'Donald.' Without the big
tackle Kansas would have been beaten
in the game. It is a noteworthy fact
that only two men on the Kansas team
made gains which would make it pos
sible for a team to win, and those two
men were Brunner and Donald. But
Donald was the star of the team. He
was simply too strong for the Missouri
men. They couldn't hold his terrific
rushes. But you may say for me that
I am proud of the Missouri team.
Every man on the team played for all
he was worth during the entire game.
And the Missouri men showed splen
did team work. They advanced the ball
to good advantage through the strong
Kansas line, and that without the aid
of a Donald."
Kennedy Was Pleased.
"It was a great surprise to me," said
Coach Kennedy of the Jayhawker
team after the game. 'I was confident
that we would win until a week ago.

Hart could not play. Then I believed
we could play above Missouri's class
on defense, . but with these two men
out I was afraid of our offense. I did
not count on finding holes in the Mis
souri line as easily as we did. The
trouble with Missouri was they did not
have the weight nor the strength that
Kansas had. At times Missouri played
wonderfully strong, but their work
was inconsistent. We were lucky to
make the large score that we did. We
earned the game all right- Until the
middle of the last half I was afraid
Missouri would score. Next year when
Kansas has the present freshman
backfield to use the people will have
a right to expect something from Kan
sas. The boys are all in good condi
tion. They played hard and deserve
lots of credit."
Captains Not Elected.
Contrary to custom the Kansas team
did not elect the captain for next year
immediately after the Thanksgiving
game. The election will be postponed
a week until the men return from the
vacation. Donald and Brunner are
the only candidates for the position.
Both men are popular and are equally
capable of captaining the team. Don
ald has done more sensational work
than Brunner. but Brunner will prob
ably play fullback next year and will
in this position be better able to direct
the team than Donald, who will be in
the line. Probably the election will be
made unanimous by one of the men
withdrawing from, the race. The two
big tackles are great chums and each
would rather the other should have the
position.
Missouri will not elect until after
Christmas. The men are not all de
cided whether or not they will return.
Salisbury seems to be the leading can
didate. Broekmeyer would make a
heady captain, but this is his first year.
MANHATTAN'S GOOD SHOWLVG.
Closed the Season by Defeating Era.
' porial Normal 10 to 6.
Manhattan, Kan., Dec. 1. The Agri
cultural college football tam defeated
the fast and plucky team from the State
Normal yesterday Ly a score of 10 to 6.
The teams were venely matched in
weight but the Farmers outplayed the
Teachers at all points. In spite of the
c..d and the hard ground fhe game
was snappy and there were few injuries.
Mallon was struck in the head and had
to leave the game in the last half, Ki lt
taking his place and Cunningham going
to quarter. The Farmers were playing
on new signals, a change instituted af
ter the K. U. game and also the tackles
were called into play.
Previous to this all their ground gain
ing has been left to the backs. Cooley
and Montgomery were able to make long
gains whenever called upon. Nystrom,
Mallon and Schol2 played star games,
Nystiom at ground gaining, Mallon at
interference and Scholz at line smashing
backing up the line and in punting.
Scholz's punts were for 43, 50 and 37
yards, the last going out of bounds. He
kicked a difficult field goal.
K. S. N. was able to gain only when
the tackles carried the ball. Hargis
made one gain of 17 yards on end and
Forde got through the line on a tackle
play for 30 yards. Gough punted for the
Teachers, aggregating 9S yards. The
total ground gained by the Farmers was
201 yards, and by the Teachers 103.
This game closes a successful season
for the Farmers and leaves them in un
disputed possession of third place in
the state. They have lost but two games
out of eight, these to Wrashburn and K.
TJ. The team is credited with 149 points
while its opponents have scored but 51.
Three shutouts are also included in the
record. Several men on the team had
never been in a game until this season
and none are old in the sport. M. F.
Ahearn, the coach, is a new man in the
business but has certainly proven him
self among the best. He has declared
himself much pleased with his men and
expects to work with them again next
year.
