"We trtre not allowed to "jHy Bfir Tr3h- taft ball, ran aaffi aiiha J.ftS men," said Captain Masters, "so we think you fellows ought to take Caldwell out. Some of the boys don't like to play against a colored bey, although I have no objections." But Captain Hill decided to remain firm in his intention to play Caldwell.

Ottawa was equally determined to have him out and for a few minutes it looked as if the game might be called off. But the Baptists finally gave in. Quigley of St. Marys and Botsford of Emporia were chosen referee and umpire. Prof.

Harshberger of Washburn was head linesman and timekeeper. Clark Dye, Ottawa's Center, Who Was Hurt. Ottawa won the toss and chose to defend the north goal. First Half. Caldwell kicked off at o'clock over the goal line.

Ottawa, kicked out from the 20 yard line, Williams getting the ball and returning 10 yards. Then the Blue started a procession towards the Ottawa goal line, which looked as If might be converted into a touchdown in three or, four minutes. Williams, Sharp. Caldwell and HH1 ripped off big chunks. But on its seven yard line Ottawa became a stone wall and took the ball on downs.

But the Baptists could not gain and were forced to boot the leather. White caught It in the middle of the field and came back ten yards. Hill went through center for five. Williams took a couple throueh right tackle. Smiley fumbled on an attempted, end play, but Caldwell recovered.

Stewart tried a Quarterback kick but Ottawa got the ball. Three straight bucks Into the line on a tandem formation made first down. The dose was repeated. Then the Ottawa fullback went fifteen yards around Smiley's end. Washburn then threw the Baptists back for a loss on two successive jflays and the ball went over on downs.

But the Blue could not advance and Mlllice kicked 25 yards, Masters returning ten. Wood-burn shot around Smiley for ten yards, and then Fields took five out of center over Snattinger. Wood went oyer Smiley for seven yards. Masters got four on a quarterback play. Then came short gains, but they made the distance.

Finally Gates fumbled and a big loss was sustained. Washburn became firm on its 25 yard lltje and took the ball. Caldwell plunged through the line for four yards, Williams took 2, Sharp 5. Washburn lost one yard on the next play through a misunderstanding of the signals. Then Sharp ripped off five more as the whistle blew for the end of the hatf with the ball on Ottawa's thirty yard line In Washburn's possession.

Score, 0 to 0. Second Half. After Ottawa had kicked out of bounds, the bail was brought back and RiBhel booted it forty yardSi Hill came back seven. Caldwell got five yards and White six. The play tried next proved a failure, but Williams got Ave on a cross buck.

Then came Stewart's blunder. Hishel got the ball and ran 6Q yards to a. touchdown, crossing beneath the goal-posts. Carpenter kicked goal. Score, Ottawa 6, Washburn it.

Harold Tice went to quarter in 8tewr art's place. Williams was ordered to play back of tha line on defense. Ottawa kicked off 30 yards to Millice who camS back Seven. Tice took 20 yards on a quarterback run. Sharp and White got five yards each, but a misunderstanding of signals caused Tice to be tackled behind the line for a loss of three yards.

Two unsuccessful bucks followed and Millice punted. Ottawa had to punt in return, Caldwell getting the ball in the middle of the field. Without a bit of trouble Washburn began a triumph march to the goal line. Millice, Caldwell, White ahd Hill took turns and Williams was finally pushed over at northwest corner of the field. Tice kicked out and White caught the sphere, heeling fair.

Williams kicked goal. Score, Washburn 6, Ottawa 6. Caldwell kicked to Ottawa's five yard line. Masters was tackled In his tracks. Irving Matt, One of the Guards.

the ball was recalled because the referee had not blown his whistle for play. The next attempt however made by Hill split the difference, and Piatt was thrown over the line for a touchdown. The kick-out failed. The score: Washburn 11. Ottawa 6.

He recovered quickly after the game, though he was "out of his head" for some little time after his injury.

A peculiar coincidence appears In yesterday's game and the result of the Thanksgiving game a year ago. On the latter date the first half ended Ottawa 5, Washburn 0. The Blue came back hard in the. second half and ran up 23 points, shutting out the Baptists. Between the halves the State Journal furnished the efowd with the seores of various games being played over the country.

"First half of the Kansas-Oklahoma KfcU.56A, Oklahoma 0," shouted Reieree-Quigley. The Sons of Ichabod cheered Kansas iht royally. rTjhtcibg Wisconsin 0," said Quigfty; There was no comment. U. G.

Gates, Manager of Ottawa. "JTirst half, Michigan 0, Nebraska 0," he said next. The cheer was heard clear in North Topeko. The crowd was Immensely pleased over the announcements. Referee Quigley again proved himself one of the most satisfactory officials ever on the Washhurn grounds.

zl. Kansas Wes-leyan university was defeated by Kansas State Agricultural college In a fairly well played game of football here today by a score Of 24 to 0. The teams were Jilhiost equal in weight but Manhattan In better condition.

The final score was: Yale, 12; Pennsylvania State, 0. The blue was pushed all over the gridiron during the first half and only a fumble by state at a critical moment allowed Tale the score that came before the intermission.

A revolving play and a double Sass Oh a fake kick were the tricks that all but gave Pennsylvania State the honor of scoring the first point against Yale this season. Again and again the Yale center gave way beneath the smashing attack and the. blue followers saw hoies opened jn their line big enough to drive a wagon through. In. the, first half Yale's gains by rushes totaled approximately but 52 yards to 103 yards for the visitors.

It was a sad turn of the tables and there Was a heart to heart talk during the Intermission. It was Freshman Jones, who by a beau tiful, plunge through the state line, took K. U. VICTORIOUS. Oklahoma Fairly Smothered by Kansas Bushes.

Score Almost at Will in Second Half. CLOSE IN THE FIRST. Jaj hawkers Only Made a Single Touchdown. Pooler, Donald and Brunner Make Phenomenal Showing. Lawrence, Oct.

21. Before a wildly enthusiastic crowd of about 00 spectators Kansas university this afternoon crushed the football ambitions of the University of Oklahoma, and sent the men from the territory off the field beaten by a score of 34 to 0. Oklahoma's defeat was overwhelming and complete; it amounted to demoralization, it was a defeat so costly that it is aoubtfui whether the Oklahoma team will be able to do Itself1 justice in the remaining games Of Its schedule. Both Acton and Captain McCreary, the two star halfbacks, were put out of the game with injuries, and it is likely that Acton will not play again this 'season. At the end of the first half the score was 6 to 0 in favor of Kansas, and Oklahoma was fighting desperately against a team which had already demonstrated its superiority.

The magnificent defense of the Kansas team was the feature of the game; it resisted the fierce line plunging of the Oklahoma backs so vigorously that Oklahoma usually lost ground when it had the ball. The Kansas line was a stone wall indeed. On offense the playing of Donald, Pooler and Brunner was magnificent. Donald was the best ground gainer of the "terrible trio," and again and again he was used as the battering-ram of a tackle-swing for gains of five, ten and fifteen- yards. Brunner, playing from fullback, could always be depended on for a gain, though his Slaying was not as spectacular as that of Donald- But Captain Bert Pooler; and here this story must pause to tell what he did when the second half was well un der way, and the Oklahoma bunch was badly shot to pieces.

Catching the ball on a kickoff at the extreme south east corner of the field, he ran straight down the center of the field, throwing off tackier after tackier by his marvellous speed and dodging, until he had gone the entire length of the gridiron, 110 yards, and placed the ball squarely between the Oklahoma goal posts. It is a dark and dismal day when Pooler doesn't do something spectacular, but today seemed to be his special day for big stunts. Besides making his 110 yard run, he kicked a field goal from the 35 yard line and was a veritable whirlwind on defense. His tackling was superb. If K.

U. had a Hall of Fame, Bert Pooler would be holding down one of the conspicuous niches today. Quarterback Hart, On of K. Fast Men But are others in the K. XJ, team who deserve mention.

Reed, the bulky left guard, did valiant work. Angney, a new nian who went in at left half, made one run ot 55 yards for a touchdown. Hart played a steady game at quarter, making only a few fumbles. Such a strong showing did the K. U.

line make that Hart arid Pooler, who played oh the second line of defense, were very seldom called upon to do much except help push back the Oklahoma man for a loss. The Oklahoma attack could hot get past the big guards and tackle's. After the game, Coach Bert Kennedy of K. U. said: "The secret of it is that the Haskell TtirlinriR are rin enod this veaf: Okla homa thought when she beat Haskeli that sne nad jumpea into a class herself.

In short, the Oklahoma team had overrated itself. The Kansas team solved the Oklahoma attack In. the first half, and from that time on we were never in danger. Kansas also has ebnsiderable advantage hi weight, aid Oklahoma simply couldn't stop Donald anfl the other big men. Of course the Kansas team is not yet showing championship form; It is not playing WIUi the machine-like precision that It should.

But we will get down to business soon. Coach Benny Owens of Oklahoma, sad-faced and discouraged, said: "It just shows what too much weight and experience Will do for an opposing team. Our men are nearly all new to the game, and they are far lighter than Kansas. Our heaviest man. Wolf, weighs only 167.

I was afraid of this game, of course, but I didn't think our team would go to pieces like it did in the second half. It was a good example of complete demoralization. Of course our team is weakened by this game; It is doubtful whether we will be able to play as strong a game again on this trip as we did today." Runbeck Is Protested. Kansas protested the playing of Runbeck, the old Lindsborg man who IS now at center for Oklahoma. However, Runbeck was declared eligible by the Oklahoma faculty.

He claims to have finished the preparatory course at Lindsborg last year, and to be now taking freshman Work at Oklahoma. Oklahoma does not have the freshman rule to contend with this year. Coach Kennedy, BTwVlr, says that Kansas used no freshmen in the Saturday Angney, the new man at halfback in place of Brawley, has been unable to play up to this time on account of conditions in his studies. He made them up, and will be at half the rest of the season. In only one department of the game did Oklahoma excel K.

Uu and that was in its kickoffs. Runbeck did the kickoff for Oklahoma, he always laid the ball up against the halves or fullback on the K. 17. goal Hue. The K.

U. kickoffs were weak. On punting, K. U. beat Oklahoma two to orto.

This was more of Bert Pooler's work. Oklahoma was at a Captain Bert Pooler, the Hero of the Oklahoma Game. disadvantage In its punting after McCreary was knocked out. He Is the regular punter of the team. Martin Delan.ey of the Kansas City Athletic club, who refereed, is one of the best officials that ever stepped on a football field.

He refereed the game throughout without objection from either side, and was right in every play. Will Coleman, the old K. U. center, umpired. The linesmen were Shorty Hamlll ot K.

U. and W. Hughes of Oklahoma; the timekeepers were Dr. Jones of Lawrence and Prof. H.

By alternating Donald, Brunner and Pooler, the baU was advanced to the Oklahoma goal, and Donald went over for the first touchdown after 20 minutes of play. Pooler punted out to Angney, and goal was kicked.

Seore. 6 to 0. Oklahoma kicked off, the ball going over the goal to Pooler, who returned 20 yards. Kansas fooled Oklahoma bv punting on the first lineup. The ball rolled clear to the Oklahoma 23-yard line, and there was no return.

Oklahoma failed to gain, and punted to their 45-yard line. Donald again hurdled the line for 10 yards on the tackle swing, Brunner took 7 on Long apd foljpwed lt with 10 more on Wolf. For some mysterious with the ball on Oklahoma's 20-vard line; and everything going smoothly for a touchdown, K. U. played a quarterback kick, losing the ball on Oklahoma's 10-yard line.

This foojish play undoubtedly, cost another touchdown in the first half, for Oklahoma punted to their 48-yard line, to Pooler, who made a fair catch, and tried foT a field goal.
