The Topeka high school football eleven won another hard-fought game Saturday afternoon when it defeated the St. Joseph high school aggregation by a score of 3 to 0 at League The contest was a spectacular one from start to finish.

Relihan. Billings, Linden and Simpson made repeated gains on short runs for Topeka. The St Joseph players started the game with line plunges but were forced to resort to forward passing as a ground gainer. The punting- of Tepeka'a quarterback. Linden, was the feature -of the game.

He averaged over forty yards. It was Lindell's toe that wen the game for Topeka in the second quarter when he drop kicked a goal. St. Joseph Used the forward pass entirely In the second half and after several attempts succeeded in placing tne ball en Topeka's 5-yard line. Desperate attempts to go over the goal line ended, in at lure and Topeka punted out ot danger.

In spite of the fact that the St. Joseph men had the advantage in weight, they were unable to gain ground thru their opponent's line. The game was featured by clean playing thruout. The St. Joseph team suffered slight injuries, but the Topeka men came out uninjured.

It was the hardest fought game Topeka has played this season.

Kansas excelled In the kicking game. Foster's kicks outdistanced Dobson'a, and the "Kansas line held better for Foster than for his Nebraska rivaL The Kansas kicking game left little to be desired. On the other hand, the Kan-, sas passing game was not up to standard. Nebraska Has Fas Defease.

On defense, the two teams showed a striking contrast. Kansas played seven men in the line of scrimmage the center, two guards, two tackles and two ends. This left Fullback Nielsen and two halves backing up the line. Nebraska, on the other hand, demanded of six line men what it took seven Kansas men to do. This gave the Corn-r huskers their strong defense against the kicking and passing game, and the Kansas passes were doomed to failure practically before they started.

Kansas used but eleven men In the game, and this speaks well for the physical condition of the men. Every man on the Kansas team did his part well. Laslett, at left end, played the most aggressive game for the Kansans. He kept up the fighting spirit of -the Jayhawkers, and set a great example of-following the ball. George Nettels, a Topeka boy, playing at left tackle, was one of the strongest men of either team.

Nettels is a dependable man, who can always be depended upon to do his best. Besides his fine work, both on offense and defense, his kick-offs were a feature of the game. Score by quarters: 1 2 3 4 Tot. Kansas 0 8 0 0 3 Nebraska 0 0 13 0 13 The summary: Kansas. Position.

17. (Special) With every Missouri valley conference game played, the Kansas Aggies now have two of the strongest teams in the Kansas conference to meet. The Kansas State Normals are the opponents next Thursday in Manhattan, and the Washburn Ichabods. who battled the Normals to a 0 to 0 tie, will be played at Topeka Thanksgiving- day. Following their close defeat at the hands of Coach Mayser's Iowa Aggies Saturday, when a drop kick in the last minute of play enbabeld the lowans to win.

10 to 7, the Clevenger men got down to work in earnest this week, with hope of wiping out the memories of the Kansas and Ames defeats with victories ever the Normals and the Ichabods. The eleven Bill" Hargis will bring to Manhattan from Emoorla ranks high among the Kansas elevens, and at present is a likely championship team. The line, with the giant "Tubby" Vaughn, as the star, has successfully withstood the attacks of the Kansas back field men this year. The Aggies emerged from the Ames conflict without a serious Injury. The absence of Charles Enlow, who was called into the aviation service last week, crippled the team's forward passing attack, but Clyde Key.

FINAL SCORE OF GAME IS 13 TO 3 Hope High in Hearts of Kansas Rooters When Lonborg Sends Ball Between Goal Posts in Second. BY DR. A.

B. KENNEDY. Eleven sturdy sons of Kansas fought their best for the Jayhawkers on Mc-Cook field yesterday afternoon before a crowd of 6,000 fans and at the end of an historic battle gracefully accepted a ,13 to 3 decisive defeat at the hands of their ancient and honorable foe from Nebraska. The victory of the northerners in this, the twenty-fourth annual battle between these two old rivals gave to the proteges of Doctor Sewart the undisputed title to the championship of the Missouri Valley. Hopes were high in the hearts of the Kansana when red-headed Jay Bond sent his Jayhawker lads, trained to the minute, into the crucial contest.

Ana when at the end of the first half, the freat northern invader had been turned ack at every point and the Jayhawkers had themselves registered three points by the unerring toe of Lonborg, right end, a great victory loomed large on the Kansas horizon. For the moment it looked like a new record for the boys of the Red and Blue who had waited long, in fact since 1896, for a victory over Nebraska on McCook field. Game Won tit Third. The Cornhusker Juggernaut had been shaken in that first thirty minutes of play. It was very apparent that things were not going right for the visitors.

But the touch of a master hand was seen when the enemy returned for the second half. Just a little shift here in the formation, a general tightening up all along the line. A sharp lineup with a single charge, as the scarlet team prepared for the second half. That charge told the story. It was quiek and fast, and snappy.

The machine was geared on high, and "rarin to go." And when, after an exchange of kicks, the Cornhusker machine started, and in a few minutes of play a great attack by Doctor Stewart's men carried the ball into Kansas' territory, where Quarterback Cook Staged a sensational 35-yard run for a touchdown, from which a goal was kicked, and the game was won for Nebraska. It Was a Great Attack. It was a great attack that the Ne-braskans flashed during this third quarter, and the visitors kept it up until a second touchdown (this time by Halfback Hubka), had been registered, altho no goal was made. This score, however, was a direct result of a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness by Halfback Pringle, by Umpire Anderson, which placed the pigskin on the Kansas 6-yard line. Two attacks and the second score cinched the game for Nebraska.

Nebraska Rooter Gave Odd. Pour hundred rooters followed their favorites to Lawrence. A thirty-five-piece band led in the assaults, which the northern collegians made on the Rock Chalk supporters. And It must be said to the credit of the visitors that the rooters in the stands did their part fully as well as the proteges of Coach Stewart on the gridiron. There was some over-confidence among the followers of the Nebraska eleven, as was attested by the odds that were offered by the visitors.

But this over-confidence did not exist in the team. The Stewart players knew they were in for a hard fight, and were prepared to fight back. It was the first time a Nebraska eleven had been seen on McCook field since Doctor Stewart had taken charge at Lincoln. Stewart came to Lincoln from the northwest, with a great record from the Oregon Aggies. One of the interesting features of the Nebraska play was the manner in which the visitors, put the ball in play, an innovation that Stewart worked out at Oregon.

Instead of the center standing over the ball and passing the ball back between his legs to a quarter or halfback of his own side, Stewart has his center stand sideways to the line of scrimmage and pass the ball direct to the backs. In this way Center Rush Day, with his 145 pounds played the position of both center and quarterback, and finished it up by acting as safety man on all plays. Stewart has been much criticised by the Nebraska alumni, especially the Omaha alumni, for this style of putting the ball in play. But with victories over Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Notre Dame to his credit, it would seem the criticism is unfounded. New Shift Improves Play.

In the first half of the game yesterday, Nebraska used a formation with three men back of the line, and the quarterback out where he could assist In cleaning up on tackles and ends. This formation was not as successful as the one used in the second half, where all four backs played close behind the middle of the Cornhusker rush line. This shift, while it did not seem much of a change to the average onlooker, was largely responsible for the Improved Nebraska attack. Another Innovation by the Nebraska mentor is in naming the backs. Instead of two halfbacks, a quarterback and fullback.

me wu.ii eliminates me name or the quarter and calls the two middlebacks right fullback and left fullback.
