THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL. Public's Page of Pastimes Saturday's Scaison of Sport 2 SCORE WAS 9 TO 6 Washburn Takes Oklahoma Cowboys Into Camp. Game Was Hard and Lively From Start. BLUE SHOWS UP WELL. 8as of Ichabod Shake Off Their Lethargy.

Costly Fumbles the Only Discouraging Features. Washburn 9, Oklahoma university 6, th score in Saturday's game on Washburn athletic field, tells the story of a fierce struggle between teams equally matched in weight, determination and confidence, though it does not truly indicate the comparative ease with which the Topeka collegians took the "Boom-ra" Into camp. Williams the Star Fullback of Washburn. In the first half it looked as though Oklahoma wag in for another crushing defeat such as It experienced a week ago at the hands of Kansas university. Washburn made kn avaa bettar showing against the Oklahoma team in this half than did Kansas in the first half of the game at Lawienee.

once losing the ball, Washburn plowed down the field four or five yards at a clip, and at the end of 8 mjhutes scored its first touchdown. A Httrs rater Caldwell kicked a field goal Croat Oklahoma's 20 yird line. This ended Vie scoring for Washburn. In the first half Washburn carried the ball, by straight football, 207 yards to Oklahoma's 58. Oklahoma was able to make five yards on its three downs only once in the half, when Acton got around Washburn's right end for 15 yards, but dropped th 'ball i when he was tackled, Washburn netting It.

In the second the Washburn Quarterback, almost' threw away the game by his ragged work. Oklahoma was forced to punt from Its own 25 yard line. Tice let the ball get past him, and it rolled clear to trie Washburn 30 yard line, and Tice was downed as be fell on the ball. Tice was nervous when the teams lined up, and participated in a fumble on ihe second scrimmage which cost Washburn the ball. Oklahoma, was forced to play a quarterback kick, and again Tice fumbled, Washburn recovering the ball by a cratch on their own 5 yard line.

Washburn punted out of danger, and Okla- noma, on the third scrimmage, shot Acton through the Washburn right tackle. Tice was the only man between Acton and the goal, and he seemed to be naralyzed. He did not even touch Acton as the latter passed him. Run-beck kicked the goal, making the score 9 to whcih it remained until the final whistle blew. Benny Owens, Coach of Oklahoma University.

There was a great deal of punting in the second half, and Washburn had the best of this game. Milltce punted six times for 210 yards and Cross punted eight times for 245 yards. Except when Tice made his fumbles, the ball was in Oklahoma's territory nearly all the time. Washburn suffered more severely from penalizing than did Oklahoma. Thirty yards were taken away from Washburn for offside and using hands in interference, while Oklahoma got only one line of five yards for offside.

Both teams fumbled the ball repeat edly. Henny Owens, coach of Oklahoma university, said of the game: "Our men can't seem to get warmed up In this climate. It is too cold for us. Last Wednesday when we played in Kansas City, it was a warm day, and the boys played a good game. Our team was in better shape for today's game than it was for the Kansas university game, as both Acton and Mc-Creary, our halfbacks who were injured in that game, were able to stay through the eontest." Dr.

John Outland. Washburn's coaoh, said: "Washburn's showing satisfied me very well. I was especially pleased with the way our defense showed up. Only five times in the course of the game did Oklahoma make its first down. The offense moved slowly today, because I told the men to take things easy on offense, and play the formations carefully." Coach.

E. C. Quigley of St. Marys college, who refereed (he game, said: "Washburn has improved 100 per cent since last Saturday's game with Ottawa. The defensive work was superb." The attendance the game was about 1,200.

Before the Oklahoma team left for home last night they entered into an agreement with Washburn to play another game next year on the last Saturday in October, in Topeka. The Oklahoma players were all well pleased with their treatment in Topeka, except the result of the game.

In spite of the large attendance at the game, the receipts were not quite large enough to pay the heavy guaranty and other expenses of the game. There was a deficit of about $100. Some of the members of the Washburn team heard of the deficiency, and showed their spirit by chipping in 'personally and raising the $100. They surprised Manager Stahl by putting the money into his hands when he came in from the field. P.

Walsh, the captain of the St. Marys football team, and the wonderful baseball catcher, who has been signed for a tryout with ttie Boston Nationals next season, tas in Topeka with Coach Quigley "and watched the game. The Washburn Rooters' club is a great institution. Several hundred students armed with megaphones sat In the grandstand in a body and made more racket than ever was made on Washburn field before. Next Saturday Washburn will play Fairmount.

Manager Stahl, who used to attend Fairmount. says that the Wichita team is fully as strong as Oklahoma this year. The Oklahoma team put up at Die National hotel, and left at last night for Norman. TOPEKA BOYS LOST. Went worth Won From High School by Score of 51 to 0.

Lexington, Mb. 28. The Wentworth military football team romped over and around the Topeka high school today by a score of 51 to o. Both teams were in good condition, with the weight slightly in favor of the cadets. The high school boys did not hold the cadets for downs once and whenever they secured the ball could not gain and were forced to punt.

The scoring was: Touchdowns Emery 3 and one field goal from the 2o-yard line; Fish 2. Egen 2, Fort 1. Goals Fish 7. The features were the fast aggressive work of the entire cadet team and the tackling of Reed and Morthland for Topeka. The line-up was as follows: Topeka Morthland.

Halves 26 and 20 minutes. Referee Williams. Umpire Snyder. HARVARD WEAK IN PUNTING. Brown Developed a Wonder In the Kicking Department, Cambridge, The game between Harvard and" Brown this afternoon before 15.000 spectators was the greatest ball game of the jjresent year for Harvard and It developed many points of weakness in her team but also showed up her strong points.

Harvard won but it was only by the score of 10 to 0. A touchdown was scored in each half but each time Bun failed to kick the easiest kind of a goal. In fumbling both teams were most proficient. Where Harvard was weak was in punting and attempts to circle Brown's ei I The majority of her gains were made by crashing against the line and only once or twice she was able to make a decent gain around the ends. In the kicking department Adams of Brown proved to be a wonder.

Time and again he punted dpwn the field for from 30 to 65 yards. Brown gained around the Harvard ends more easily than by straight line bucking and near the close of the second half Sehwarx circled Harvard's left end for 35 yards, the longest gain of the game. -Line-up1 Harvard. Position. Brown.

V. FRESHMEN WIN. Defeat Iola In the Last Two Minutes of Play. Iola, Oct. 2S.

With only two minutes to play the K. U. freshmen scored on Iola today on a fluke. Iola was unable to gain and prepared for a punt. The ball was soaking wet and slipped from the fullback's hands.

K. U. got it and after 5 downs went over the line. Goal was missed and the game ended, with a score of 5 to 0 in K. favor.

The freshmen outweighed the Iola high school team nearly 15 pounds to the man. YOST USED SUBSTITUTES. Michigan's Game With Drake Required Little Effort. Ann Arbor, Oct. 28.

The Michigan eleven defeated Drake afternoon 48 to 0, using a substitute back field throughout most of the contest. The Drake team had been coached by Heston, last year's Michigan star halfback, to consistently attempt to steal the ball or knock it out of the hands of the Michigan runners. This did result In a considerable amount of fumbling on Michigan's part in the first half, but Drake failed to profit thereby. Burcham and Kintz, for Drake, made one first down against Michigan, which is the third performance of the kind this year. MIDSHIPMEN'S FIRST DEFEAT.

Preponderance of Weight in Swarth-mores Favor Ditl It. Annapolis, Oct. 28. By narrow margin of a goal kicked and a goal missed, the midshipmen's football team today suffered its first defeat of tfcif season at the hands of the eleven from Swarthmore college of Pennsylvania. The score was 6 to 5, each team scoring a touchdown, but the right toe ot Crowell the visiting quarterback, sent the bar? sailing straight between the goal posts, white Norton's try went yards wide.

The midshipmen battled with a team heavier than any which they have faced this season. This preponderance of weight could not help but prove a great strain upon the sailor lads and the touchdown of the visitors. which was made in the first part of the i game, came after Maxwell and Kruger. two giants, had been used repeatedly in a series of battering ram efforts that opened holes in the navy line at nearly all times. The Middies got their touch down in the middle of the second half after several efforts and fumbling by both sides.

OKLAHOMA RESENTS IT. Doesn't Want to Be Crowded Off Baseball Map. Under the caption "Looks Like Steal," the Oklahoma Times-Journal republishes a baseball article from the state Journal and says that "an effort is evidently being made by the Western League to alienate the affections and elope with one of the fairest sister cities (Topeka) of the Western association." Commenting, is the following: "When the announcement went forth that Mr. Cooley had bousht the Topeka franchise there was general rejoicing around the circuit as a man oi Mr. Cooley's recognized baseball and business ability would, greatly strengthen the association.

But, alas! 'twas only a case of the wolf in sheep's clothing and he has disclosed himself as an agent of the Western league. That he will find Doc SWvely a hard nut to crack and the Wesjern association an entirely different proposition from what he expects may be predicted and if he succeeds in getting away with Topeka without paying the fiddler we will take off our hat to Mr. Cooley." K. U. IS DEFEATED Colorado Wins From Kansas 15 to 0.

Jaybawkers Were Handicapped by High Altitude. BATTLED TO THE LAST. Plucky Kansans Often Held Their Heavy Opponents. Coach Kennedy Says the Best Team Won. Denver, Oct.

28. All the hopes of a never defeated team were smashed here this afternoon when the Kansans were defeated by the score of 15 to 0 by the Uni versity or UOioraao. At me enu or liic irsi unit ine score iu tmu things seemed to be all for Kansas, in the second half the Jayhawkers, unuafed to the thin air, rapidly ired, an8 the Coloradoans and the vord "fjeioradoans" means one man, tley by hard work carried the ball two touchdowns. It. was a wonderful game until near the end of the first half, when the iviipnAiil aTthnnch o-ame to the last, were too wean to make their stubborn resistance that was always In evidence in the first of the game.

For Colorado it was all Caley's; he is a big fast fellow, who would make a star back on any football team. When he took the ball, and it was in his territory very often, a gain was certain. Roberts was the other ground gainer. Salberg played a sensational defensive game and helped tear up the Kansas line with a tandem formation that the mountaineers used continuously. The Kansans play a beautiful game.

It was a kind of football that made the Colorado supporters cheer the plucky Jayhawkers, who were outweighed enormously in the back field and were no heavier than their opponents In the line. Brunner and Donald were the most consistent ground gamers. Pooler played a hard defense, and Rouse, Striekler, Donald, Reed and Milton were stumbling blocks for the Boulder men. The first touchdowns were made as a result of fumbles by Kansas. After fighting stubbornly against the headlong plunges of Caley, the Jayhawkers fumbled on their 35-yard line.

On the second play Caley tore off 30 yards around the Kansas left end. With the ball three yards from the Kansas goal it took three fierce line plunges before Caley put the nose of the ball barely over the line. The second touchdown was made when Kansas fumbled on their own 15-yard, line immediately after they had gained the ball on downs. The last touchdown was made after Trudgeon returned Pooler's punt 35 yards from the Kansas S5-yard line, when Colorado tore through the red Jayhawkers and scored after a 20-yard run by Caley. Kansas' onlv chance to score was in the first half when they had the ball on the Colorado 35 yard line but were held for downs.

In the first half after Beit the Plucky Little Capt in of the U. FootbaU Team. one of Pooler's treacherous rolling punts Colorado had the ball on their own 5' yard line but safely out of danger. The punting was frequent, Caley punts were high and pretty but they were not so effective as Pooler's kicks that often rolled 70 yards. The Javhawkera excelled in team work.

Colorado had big fast men who gained with any kind of interference. With their tandem working nicely they made slashing gains through the right side of the Kansas line. Coach Kennedy is well satisfied with the work of his men. "It hurts to lose this game but the best team won. The altitude was very hard on our fellows.

They played mighty game battle with those men. They will out-weigh us five pounds to the man. We were always in the running until after the second touchdown." A crowd of 6,000 cheered the Colo, rado men. There wera 700 well trained rooters from Boulder in the stands. The line-up: Colorado.

Umpire Kennedy. INDIANS WERE TRICKY. Carlisle Gave University of Penn. a Hard Scrimmage. Philadelphia, Oct.

28. Although it was the general opinion after the game at Franklin field that the Carlisle Indians had outplayed the University of Pennsylvania, the latter won the contest today by a score of 6 to 0. Pennsylvania's score was made unexpectedly and came as a big surprise, as it was expected that the red and blue team, weakened by the absence of Draper, their star guard, would be no match for ihe aborigines. The Quaker eleven feared the Indians, who are tricky, and in the first ten minutes of the game they were run off their feet, but rallied and finally after 20 minutes of play, Lam-son carried the ball over the Indian goal line for a touchdown and Sheble kicked the goal. In the second half the Indians showed their superiority over Pennsylvania, but lost many opportunities through fumbling, which resulted from persistency in passing the ball high.

The Indians gained much ground on two new tricks invented by Coach Woodruff. On one of the plays the ball was passed from the center to one of the halfbacks and handed to either the fullback or the opposite halfback. Of course all eyes are on the quarterback and when he sidestepped the ball and failed to touch it, the opposing line was temporarily deceived and the runner was away but the deception was detected.

New York, Oct. 28. The 12,000 football enthusiasts which gathered this afternoon at the American league park to witness the gridiron struggle between Princeton and Columbia were as much surprised at the game put up by the blue and white supporters as were the Tigers, who had not been looking for the fight that Columbia gave them. Princeton won eventually by the score of 12 to 0, but her team did not cover Itself with glory. The greater credit Indeed belongs to Columbia.

With a team that has played together little more than a week, Columbia put up a surprisingly good game. In the first half she did better work than her rival. In the second half she weakened somewhat, however, under the fierce Princeton attack and the Tigers crossed her line twice. In some departments of the game Columbia constantly showed up better than did Princeton. This was particularly noticeable in kicking, where Carter out-punted Daub on nearly every exchange.

Oct. 28. Yale defeated West Point here today in one of the fastest games seen on the Soldiers' gridiron in years. It was a sweet revenge that the Yale team took for their defeat at the hands of the cadets last year. The score when the game ended was 20 to 0 In favor of the blue, the biggest score she has made at West Point in years.

West Point was against a harder team in the men from New Haven than last Saturday when they made such an excellent showing against Harvard. The Yale team ft built on entirely different lines from the crimson. They have an attack that smothered the soldiers and allowed the blue backs to make long gains through the army line and around their ends. After the second kickoff, the army, taking the ball on their own 60 yard line, started through the Yale line and around the ends never stopping until they had steadily carried the ball down to Yale's two yard line, only to lose It the next moment on downs. That was the nearest West Point ever got to scoring.

Yale scored one touchdown in the first half and two more in the second, both through hard football through the line and around the ends, Veeder carrying the ball most of the time and scoring both touchdowns. He also kicked two goals. Shevlln threw Beavers behind the line for a safety in the second half, which made the total score 20 points. Army. Position.
