Walter Goldstein When two venly matched, fighti football elevens mix. there Isn't likely to be much scoring.

And when the contention of such a struggle is a heavy, mud-Jacketed football on a soggy, water-logged gridiron, there's not likely to be any sporing at all. That Is Just what happened yesterday afternoon on Francis Field when the Washington University and Oklahoma A. and M. teams battled, but without avail. The game, although unattended by any scoring was a colorful one.

with frequent brilliant plays and a numoer oi scoring opportunities. However, neither eleven wa abl to assemble enough of a punch offset the combination of stiff opposition and discouraging play lng conditions. Probably the most impressive feature of the gruelling contest was the thorough, workmanlike manner in which fhe players exe- cuted their plays with a tricky ball and on Insecure footing. Fumbles were few, the kicking was always adequate and Washington, especially, showed an ability to flip forward passes adeptly. VHtinjr Backs Powerful.

It was this passing attack that really kept the Pikers in the running, because the visitors certainly showed greater strength In ramming their way through the line. Knd running, of course, was pretty much out of the question. The Aggifs smashed their way through the local forward defense for 101 yards and were able to make seven of their eight first downs through this medium. Hlg-gins' men, on the other hand, gained Just half of this yardage on running attack and can thank the aerial route for 66 yards and four of their six first downs. The difference in the result of straight football attack was due more to a difference in backflelds than in line The two seta cf forwards battled pretty evenly-.

Both were charging low and blocking in the best accented manner and tackling with precision. However, the Piker backs seemed to lack power. The averjiim weight of the new Green backfi'd Is less than 160 pounds, and the striplings Just didn't have the power to crash their way thro-jgh 1h mountain of men before them. Th-s Aggie hall carriers. however, seemed to charge Into the mass ml rip their way through.

17. The Kansas Aggies took their sec ond straight victory in two years over the University of Kansas foot ball team this afternoon. 14 to 7. Prior to last year the Aggies had not beaten Kansas except back in 1906. The Wildcats blocked two Jay-hawker punta which had much bearing on the Aggie rum i touchdowns in the first and third quarters.

Statistics show Kansas made 10 first downs to the Aggies' six. but the Aggies held a slight margin in yards gained from scrimmage. After five minutes of play. Cochrane punted to Hamilton on the Kansas 4-yard line. The Kansas quarterback fumbled and Captain McOee of the Aggies recovered.

ninrred over on the first play and McGee kicked goal. That was all the scoring until the third quarter. Again tne Aggies blocked Wellman's runt and recovered the ball on the Kansas 44-yard line. Two attempts at the line netted nothing and then Hol-slrger flipped a forward rass of 20 yards to Price and he outraeed two Kansas men for the remaining 24 yards to the goal line. McGee again kicked goal.

The Kansaa score came with but two minutes left to play in the fourth period. Cloud, who had substituted at center for Davidson of K. U. intercepted an Aggie forward rs on the Kansas 47-yard line Following on the heels of Notre Pame's unbeaten varsity of 1924 the boys who faced West f-omi today looked weak and helpless by comparison. But those lads are not discouraged and neither is their coach.

Before the game, I was in terviewed and stated that our chances against West Point were Mm. Eecause we had easily romped away from our early sea son rivals, my advance comment on the Notre Dame-Army game was taken with reservations. Srjne of the folks figured I was putting out a "gloom screen." Today score proves I not. There was no gloom before tne game ana mere is nu givum mj. The boys gave everything they had but they lacked the prime essential for victory and that's experience.

They were simply outclassed. Army Has Grewt Team. But let me say this I am perfectly well satisfied with their work. What they learned will do them more good than all I teach them on the South Bend campus. The trouble with beginners in football is that they forget what they learn during nractice.

But what they learn in a tough contest, like the West Point game, they never forget. West Point is entitled to boast of a hard-charging, alert and well coached eleven. They took advantage of every mistake made by Notre rarne. That's where breaks count. The team that makes the most the other fellow's blunders is the cam that gets the "breaks" and it deserves them.

We had several opportunities te score when the boys got loose with splendid passe. A more confident team would have continued the march, but my youngsters were unable to follow up the advantage. I rannnt lHp but admit that Army outplayed Notre Dame from whistle to MhiMle. Our boys battled Just as hard and Just as long as West Point, but they made too many mistakes. a hey learned a lot of football before the sun went down.

Showed Versatile Attack. Veterana l3t Wilson, Hewitt nes was against certain kinds ofJef jratr.e. but ever eloaer tb lorwara passing. We lost by two more touchdowns than I expected before game tlm. but we were thoroughly outplayed ind there is not an alibi In the world.
