The fifth picket in the Jayhawker'a ever victorious fence was added today when Kansas won from Washington by a score of 23 to 0. The Came was hard fought on both sides and at no time did It lack Interest. The day was an ldal one for football and both teams showed more than usual epirlt. specially during the first half. The wasningtons were ouipiayea irom every point, however, and after the first six minutes of play Kansas made the first touchdown and Bhowed by her playing that ultimately she would be victorious.

The only advantage of the Kansas players was the fact they outweighed their opponents by a small margin. Otherwise both teams were evenly matchced. Kansas did not use her regular lineup, however, and with the resulting score as high as It was, there Is no telling what It would have been had the regular star men been used. The game started at 3 o'clock, when Washington, kicked off to Kansas. Both teams started a hot fight for the possession of the ball and for gains.

In the first contest Washington was successful in working two successful forward passes for a total gain of thirty-five yards. Nlph-er then attempted a field goal but missed.

Kansas worked a successful forward pass for fifteen yards end after a series of plays which netted no gains to either side, Washington was forced to punt and luckily regained the ball after which she was again forced to punt.

Kansas called the first rally Just In time and by a series of gains went down the field for forty yards. The ball was lost, however, and after both sides had been forced to punt Washington by three plays netted a gain of forty-five yards. Kansas again rallied and this time started a series of gains which netted more than ten yards for each three downs until 30 minutes after the first touchdown had been made Amnions went over for the recond one and Pleasant again kicked oal. The remainder of the half given over to nunting and plays which had retted gafns for neither team when time was called, The second half opened when Ha gen kicked off to Kansas at 4 o'clock. The tlay started much slower than did the first half and continued so until the end.

JTach team had fought hard during the iirst half contest and several men on oth sides were worn out. After Kansas hn made a few short fains the ball was lost to Washington. rho was forced to punt. It was then that Kansas rallied and phowed the old time fighting st-irit. After several long gains Pleasant broke (around the end for forty yards and a third touchdown Washington kicked oft again ana the Jayhawkers again started down the field for long gains.

Finally Trhen within 25 yards of the goal the ball was lost on a uarterback kick and Washington was forced to pnnt back to Kansas.

Jeffries expressed confidence todav as to the result of his meeting with Johnson. "There is really no use talking." he told hla Interviewers. "There is going to be a fight I've said that over and over, and Its rather tiresome to repeat it. There's no doubt In my mind as to the result either. "Just now, we're waiting marking time, until Johnson's representatives show up to sign the papers.

We're waiting, too, for the authorized representatives of responsible clubs to make their bids." Johnson's representative Is expected to New York on Tuesday.

With a score of 11 to 12, and glad to get away with the game at that, the Washburn football bugs returned- to Topeka last night on the football special with a feeling of joy In their hearts, even though the team had not made a clean sweep of the St. Marys lads as had been expected. As a game it was one of the hardest-fought battles seen by the local fans for years, and for the rooters who accompanied the team, one hundred and fifty strong, it proved to be a most nerve-racking afternoon.

With a determination to wipe up the field with the Irish and thus spread a little salve on the old wound of last year, the Washburn lads trotted out on the St. Marys field and started the game with a rush. For the first few plays the gains were made five and ten yards at a time and it looked to those on the side lines as if It was only a matter of how big the score was going to be. The first setback came, however, in the penalizing of McCarroll 15 yards for hurdling. This forced Washburn to punt.

For the next several minutes neither team seemed to be able to make consistent gains and resorted to punting and on-side kicking. At the end of fifteen minutes' play Whitney recovered an on-side kick on the St. Marys fifteen-yard line and with a series line bucks the ball was pushed over for the first touchdown. With the wind to their backs St. Marys kicked off to Washburn who failed to make their gain with the ball and punted.

St. Marys also failed to make their distance and alto punted. The ball which was carried a long distance with the wind was tumbled by the Washburn backs end Byrnes the St. Marys center, who was well down the fie'd under the punt, picked up the hall and ran for a touchdown. Setback No.

2. Score, 6 to 6 in nineteen minutes of play. Washburn again received the kick and with the wind to their backs worked the ball down the field into the shadows of St. Marys goal posts, and after a series of line bucks through the center of the line. It was pushed over for a touchdown, jut here.

Oh here, gentle reader, occurred the setback which seemed to remove all the wind from the sails of the craft and left them tossing helplessly on the billows. Mr. Frank Moss, former Washburn football and baseball player, a graduate of the college and banker of St. Marys, who had been agreed upon as headlines-man for the game, felt sure that he had seen Nipps, the Washburn right end off side and penalized the team five yards from the point of the last play, not allowing the touchdown and thus robbing Washburn of points which nearly cost her the game. Mr.

Moss, from his position on the bide lines, claimed that he could easily see the Washburn man off side, in spite of the fact that neither of the other three officials who surrounded the team on the field had detected the man off side. The remainder of tho half was hard fought, but neither was. able to make any material gains. In. the second half Washburn kicked to the Catholics, who came back at them fiercely, stimulated by the effect of their success In scoring, and for a time carried the Washburn team off of their feet.

With an interchange of punts In which St. Marys had the advantage of the wind, the ball was worked down into Washburn territory. At this point the Washburn Une held and St. Marys tried an on-side kick which was fumbled by the Washburn tackle and a St. Marys man recovering the ball.

With renewed fierceness at being within striking distance of the Washburn goal line, the St. Marys back tore througli the Washburn line, and pushed it over a touchdown after fifteen minutes' of play. The goal was not kicked and the score then stood 11 to 6 In favor of St. Marys. The St.

Marys rooters at this point broke fourth in a pandemonium and It was only after several minutes of fruitless effort that the field could be cleared for the game. Washburn now received the ball from St. Marys on the kick off. both teams resorting to punting and the St. Mary team playing for time on everv opportunlty.

Coach Quigley can now Ee'e victory In sight and pulls out a number of his tired players and substitutes fresh men which seem for a while to be able to withstand the onslaughts of the Washburn back and tackles. The Washburn men were at this point desperate and willing to try any trick to score, but no one seemed to be able to pull off the necessary stunt. With only four minutes yet to play Coach Weede orders Smiley at half back and McCarroll at quarterback to change places. This was done because of an injury to McCarrol's knee, which slowed him and made it hard for him to get Into the interference. With Smilev at quarterback and with a series of end runs and tackle swings the ball was carried down the field fifty yards for a touchdown.

Goal was kicked and the score then stood 12 to 11 in favor of Washburn. With only one minute to play the St. Marys team tried to pull off a long forward pass which seemed for a second about to result In another touchdown, but the man was pulled down and time called for the end of the half. In the opinion of most of the officials of the game the score did not Indicate the relative strength of the two teams. Coach Brummage of William Jewell college, said after the game, "The score does not indicate the relative strength of the two teams, and although St.

Marys fought a hard game 18 to 6 would more property- More Than 20 Ingredients give to Hood's Sar aaparilla Its great curative power power to cure many and varied complaints, including diseases of the blood, ailments of the etomach, troubles of the kidneys and liver.

Eclipsing the fast record made In the Vanderbilt cup race and making a speed of sixty miles throughout, at times negotiating the twenty-one and course in less than twenty minutes, the Pope-Hartford car No. 4. driven by Jack Fleming, won tho 250-mile Portola road race today with more than two laps to spare, in the fast time of 3 hours 58 minutes end 15 seconds. Two cars were within two laps of the winner at the finish.

These were the Apperson No. 3. driven by Harris Hanshue. and the Lozier No. 12.

driven by Harry Mychener. The Apperson car won the second race the 210 miles, in 3 hours, 12 minutes and S3 seconds. Tho Lozier car was second. The Pope-Hartford won the first event of seven laps. Fleming made by far the best time In the second race as" well, but was not entered for that event and could not take the contest.

"This led to some confusion and it was generally believed that Fleming had won the whole trio of races. The actual running time of the Pope-Hartford today was 4.61 miles an hour, breaking the world's record established at Santa Monica of 64.44. and that of the Vanderbilt cup race of 64.42. The races were marred by a number of accidents, two of which may result fatally. These two mishaps were due to inefficient policing of the course, and in both cases spectators were the victims.

O. F. Johnson, of this city, was struck by the Knox car driven by Frank Free, on the course near Frultvale, and sustained injuries of which be probably will die. An old man named McKittrlck was the victim of a peculiar accident when his skull was fractured by a tire cast by the Sunset car. On the seconud laps of the small car race.

PRINCETON LOST IN LAST MIUNTE OF PLAY Princeton, Oct. 23. On one of those sudden plays characterizing new football, Frank Irmschler, a second substitute right halfback on the Lafayette college team, caught the ball on a bound in the last minute of play after Cunningham's try for a drop kick had been blocked and ran ninety yards for a touchdown making possible a Layfayette victory over Princeton by the score of 6 to 0. Just as Captain McCaa kicked the goal time was called. HARVARD EASILY DEFEATS BROWN Cambridge, Oct.

23. In a raggedly-played game this afternoon Harvard defeated Brown. 11 to 0, the home team scoring in each half and twice success-fully defending its own goal when touchdowns by the visitors seemed almost inevitable. Forward passes were carried off more successfully than in any other game on Soldiers field this season. Harvard out-kicked Brown, and the crimson line, when fully realizing their danger, stiffened better than In any other game so far.

CARLISLE INDIANS BEATEN. Pittsburg. Oct. 23. The University of Pittsburg football eleven easily defeated the Carlisle Indians here today by a score of 14 to 3.

During the first half the Indians made their only score of three points. The locals outplayed the Indians, both in straight football and in the new open style of play. gains and onr heroes were not able to pro-vent a number of such occurrences. The gains of the visitors were made on straight football although they used the forward pass twice with telling effect. In both cases tho pass figured in the touchowns.

They lost on it once, end the locals took the penalty when they tried it. Although they were outclassed the locals fought hard, and put up a game that will beat the majority of the High school teams now reaming at large. But there is a need of tome work and study of football methods by the locals. Also there is need of plugging up some holes In the line and development of the backfield. The crowd was slim and tho fight tho locals made, although against overwhelming odds, deserved a large assemblage of witnesses.

The first touchdown waa made after 2 minutes playing.

With the game safely won, Quarterback Bates uncorcked a re. pertoire of hair-raising plays that simply left the visitors helpless.

ADDITIONAL SPORT ON PAGE 25 OUTHWESTERI SMOTHERED LAWRENCE HIGHS BEAT TOPEKA BOYS BY 29 TO 0 SCORE; PLAYEB IN GREAT FORM The Lawrence High school football team played around, through, over and under the local players yesterday and as a result the T. H. S. is minus a game by the score of to C. Five touchdowns were made and four goals kicked by the husky visitors before the referee could be induced to blow his whistle.

Meanwhile the local Highs were busily engaged in trying to stop the onslaught of the visitors, and did not have time to try to score themselves. Lawrence has a back field that is hard to beat among many of the college teams and if another High school In the state has a similar set it has so far escaped notice. Husky, fast and heady, they are hard to stop. If the University of Kansas or some other educational institution does not hire them next year some one will have missed a bargain. Alio the Lawrence team has a pair of tackles who would have missed their calling at anything else save football.

And it might be added that their ends are good ends, their guards are good guards and the rest of the team is worthy of mention. The locals were outclassed from the beginning and thev made a game fight. Time and again they showed flashes of form which did not look encouraging to the visitors. But these flashes were momentary affairs and Lawrence soon settled down to lino rzn ashes that meant.
