MAKES TIE OUT OF SURE DEFEAT Rally in Last Half Gains 20 Points for Jayhawks. Could Have Won if Raven Hadn't Percbed on Sandefur's Shoulder Score, Nebraska, 20; K. It, 20. Lawrence, Nov. 13.

(Special) Outplayed in every department of the game the first half, the University of Kansas football team made a sensational rally in the last half and battled the University of Nebraska to a 20 to 20 tie here this afternoon. Speenkcular forward passing by Mandeville and Lonborg did the trick. At the outlet both players failed dismally to make a showing. Time after time they tried the aerial attack only to have the stands groan as the play was blocked. In the third period they seemed to 17A5HBURN AND EMPORIA BATTLE TO A 1414 TIE Spectacular Runs Made by Both Teams; Some Fumbles.

Fumble in First Quarter Gives Presbyterians Lead Washburn Still Leads Conference. BY BERT NASH. In a game filled with thrills and fumbling, the Washburn and College of Emporia elevens battled to a 14 to 14 tie yesterday. The contest was a fight thruout. The fumbling started in the first play when an Emporia back lost his grip on the oval and Cossman recovered the ball on Emporia's 20-yard lino.

The Ichabod backs made a few yards on the two line bucks whii followed but the Washburn men had no better luck in holding on to 1 the ball and McNair, Emporia fullback, recovered a fumble and raced SO yards for the first touchdown of the game. Outplayed in First Half. The Emporia men never threatened to score again In the first half. They were completely outplayed and their HE BLETW UP LAST JtW I MS A BiG SXAR "miS VEAR HE A HEAOV PUAVER- USJMG MIS DOME" TO HIT THE LINE Baker; Widiek. of C.

Last year it was the small halfback who delivered time and again when delivery meant a win. Washburn's failure to make three yards necessary for first down while in the Blue's own territory gave the Presbyterians their chance. A play or two and then a pet formation involving a fake and double pass gave Grant his opportunity, ne started arounu ena. changed pace a time or two, wriggled away from three would-he tackiers, and crossed the goal line standing. It was a spectacular run In a tight place and was worthy of the runner.

"Iffing" was a popular pastime with the followers of both elevens. If Stevens, of Washburn, had ordered a kick at the leginning of the third quarter when his team lacked three yards of a first down or if Jacquith. of C. of had not cajled a play that took the ball to the sidelines in the last period, leaving it in the poorest possible position for a field goal, there might have been a decision affair. These, however, were just two of the many "ifs" that usualy prevail after a close game.

In this connection an editorial ot the Chicago Tribune's sport editor is pertinent. The writer observed the tendency to pan occasions of bad judgment and ruisplays on the part of the players. It moved him to, remind those of mature years who follow the game that the men who play football are usually youngsters in or just put oi their "teens. He admonished those who criticized so freely from the sideline to remember that after all those who rlay the game are "only boys." That is the truth: they are only boys and very human ones at that. Mistakes on their part should only serve to remind them that they are doing their best.

Washburn's 'Mutt and Jeff" offense worked well in the initial half. First it was the upstanding Wykoff and then the diminutive Palmatier who battled for yards, resting occasionally while one of the other backs carried the ball. Wykoff dived over a pile aud planted the oval behind the line, Palmatier wriggled thru the prcjs and accomplished the same feat. All ot which is more evidence that a good little man can play as well as a good big man altho their respective styles may show wide variation.

The wide swath the Oklahoma university Soon-ers cut on their way to the Missouri Valley Conference football champion-Ship in their first year as members of that group, is shocking gridiron followers of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. The Sooners of 1020 are one of the best football aggregations the middle West has ever seen. It is big, fast and well coached, with a line that averages above 190 pounds.

Its backs are fast and carry plenty of weight. Ever Hear of PhU? Oklahoma's success in defeating Washington university, of St. Louis, 24 to 14. and one of the best teams the University of Missouri ever boasted to the tune of 28 to 7, was due largely to the return of the preschool and freshman form of Phil White. White is one of the country's three or four best "triple threat" men.

He's feet one inch high, weighs li)4 pounds, can do the 100 in football togs in llVs seconds, punted an average of 40 yards in fifteen tries against Missouri and is nearly the ideal at forward passing and in breaking up his opponent's plays of the same nature.

Since no primaries will be held prior to the election of members of the mythical all-state teani6, a list of the candidates regarded by many as available might aid in final choice. There is no reason to believe that any of the men spoken of are nearer than a promise of consideration altho the list, picked by one observer who has seen every conference team but two, should contain somewhere in it those -who make the three teams.

But for a missed goal after touchdown, the Kansas rally would have been successful and the home club would have been on the winning side of what observers declared was one of the most spectacular games in Missouri Valley football history. Nebraska's chance to win also faded with failure to kick goal.

It was on their third touchdown, made in the second penoci and from that time on the advantage was entirely with Kansas. The forward passing of Mandeville and Lonborg made possible the Kansas rally and was largely instrumental in netting the points. In the early periods they were unable to make their nasses eood and time after time the play was blocked. However, after 1 first Kansas touchdown in the third quarter, they passed successfully almost at will. The tieing score came in the last five minutes of play, when, after a pass, Mandeville raced thirty yards and crossed the goal.

Sandefur failed to kick goal. Last Five Minutes. The play, during the final five minutes is given in detail here: Thompson replaced Hartley, Hupka, replaced Dale for Nebraska. Sandefur kicked fifty yards, Newman returning thirty yards. Nebraska fumbled on the next play but recovered for a loss.

Chicago, Nov. 13. Ohio State stood tonight at the head of the list in the race for the big ten conference football championship. This eleven is the only team in the conference which remains undefeated, following Illinois' downfall at the hands of the Badgers at Madieon. Whether they can sonsolidate their advantage and grab the championship will depend on next raturday's game at Urbana when Illinois meets he Buckeyes.

If Ohio wins the game the championship will go with it. In case the Illini is able to come out with a victory, the race will be a three-tie affair between Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois.

Put up in two styla defense against the Ichabod attack was remarkable for its ineffectiveness. The Ichabods made 12 first downs in the first two periods, while the visitors were unable to complete "first aud ten." Washburn began a drive soon after the Emporia touchdown which finally resulted in two couuters for the locals. The Washburn backs tore thru the Presbyterians' line for substantial gains and it was not until the second half that the visitors were able to hold the charging Ichabods for downs.

The first quarter ended with the ball in Washburn's possession on Emporia's lii-yard line and within two minutes after the second quarter had started Wykoff had- carried the ball across the goal for the Blue's first touchdown. Three Cheers for Wykoff, Now Washburn continued the drive with straight football and battered the Emporia line for another counter before the whistle blew. The second touchdown was the result of a beautiful succession of line plunges in which every member of the backfield did hTs full share. Palmatier carried the ball across on a 4-yard plunge thr tackle. The local men took less than five minutes to score their second counter after tl first had been record ed.

The Henry men came back in the third quarter and scoj-ed their second counter, which tied the game. The Washburn eleven received the kickoff, and returned the ball to the 40-yard line. The Presbyterians held the locals down for the first time in the game. Quarterback Stevens, altho in his own territory chose to rush the ball instead of to kick, the attempt failed, and it was Emporia's ball in midfield. Talk About Speed.

Grant, the right haf, got away on the second down, and ran 45 yards thru the defense for the couuter. The play was one of the most speedily executed plays seen on the local field this year. The'diniinutive halfback received the ball on a criss-cross and Jtad Washburn's right end for one (jf the prettiest plays of the game. Harr kicked goal. The third quarter was all the visitors.

The Henry aggregation made five first downs during this quarter, while the Ichabods completed only one. The criss-crosn of the visitors was their main ground gainer, and Grant and Jacquith, quarter, made some substantial gains. The Presbyterians completed two passes for a total of forty yards. Presbyterians Played Clean. The fourth quarter marked another change in the Washburn playing.

The Ichabods got started again, but too late. Their offense was showing the same form which had scored two touchdowns earlier in the game. The Washburn backs were growing stronger at every down. Washburn outplayed the visitors in three out of the four quarters. Iieam's men made sixteen first downs to six for the Emporians.

Washburn lost thirty-five yards on penalties, while the visitors went thru the game without being penalized. The Emporians kept up their record of making a counter in the first period, but it might be called a fluke. The Blue machine was working smoothly thru the sixty minutes of play, and only for one quarter did the men show weakness. Both teams had difficulty in holding on to the ball during the early minutes of play, but after the men had warmed up, the playing was unmarred by fumbles. Neither team resorted to the forward rass often.

The visitors tried three and succeeded in completing two of them. Washburn attempted three and completet one. Both teams intercepted one Grant Takes Sky Seat. Grant was the individual star of the frame. His gains came with rather discouraging regularity from the Ichabod viewpoint, and he is responsible for the score which tied the Blue team.

His work on the secondary defense was good. McNair and Hair played consistently. Harr was almost invincible around right end, but his attempts at carrying the ball usually stopped before he got started. Wykoff, Palmatier and Stevens played spectacular ball. Wykoff hit the Bed and White line with even more force -than he used at Emporia last week, and he made very good gains thru the defense on fake bucks.

Stevens and Palmatier made many yards in scrimmage, and their defense was above the average. Simpson, playing bis first game at halfback, worked it In old time form. Washburn retains the lead in the Kansas confcVeliee championship race. Emporia. Position.

All is different with White this year. He has exhibited all his mechanical skill and more important still, has displayed a full quota of football spirit. The result is that he has supplied in large degree the motive power needed to'set the powerful Sooner machine to steamrolling all opponents. Cut What a Comeback! Protected by the biggest and best I line in the Southwest, the playing of i White at halfback lias been a revela-i tion. He has shown himself without a peer as a punter, passer, and end runner, and has hit the line as hard and effectively as the best in the conference.

Had White displayed the same form last year, there is no question but that Oklahoma would have defeated the powerful Nebraska team more decisively than any other team did. instead of merely tying the Cornhuskers.

Yale's Bull Dog, chewed, clawed and torn by a ferocious Princeton Tiger, was dragged from the Nassau jungle in the falling darkness this evening more dead than alive. Mauled, tramped upon, tossed about and beaten by a score of 20 to 0. there wasn't a whimper out of the canine that started after the Tiger with bared teeth and raised hair. Fifty thousand furred, blanket wrapped spectators in the stands saw the Tiger dig claws into the shredded back of the Bull Dog four times. Two touchdowns and two field goals not only gave Princeton a glorious victory but it enabled them to do something that hasn't been done by the Nassau cats for twenty years beat Yale two years in succession.

Princeton worshiped tonight at the throne of her gods Callahan. Keck, Lourie and Murrey. It was this stalwart quartet who led the attack and scored the points that had the students snake dancing all over the village. Keck kicked two goals from touchdown and a field goal Slim Little Frank Murrey drop-kicked a goal and Callahan and Lourie smashed across- the Yale line for touchdowns. Yale didn't have a chance from the start.

Princeton was slow in getting started in the first period, but the play was entirely in Yale territory. On the first play of the second period, Frank Murrey booted a 30-yard drop kick and drew first blood. Later in the period Don Lourie completely fooled Yale with a clever bit of strategy. On the 50-yard line Keck dropped back as if to try a goal from placement. Lourie, resting on his knees, took the pass from center and dashed fifty yards for a touchdown.

Princeton got away fast again in the third period. Joe Scherer on the second play punted sixty yards to Murphy, who dropped the ball and it rolled toward the goal line. Form after form hurried thru the air in a desperate effort to recover the ball. Capt. Mike Callahan crashed thru, picked up the ball on a dead run and ran twelve yards for a touchdown.

Late in the same period. Keck kicked his field goal from the 35-yard line. From tackle to tackle the Yale line was a surprise, however. They stopped dead the smashing charger. Hank Uar-rity, who riddled the Harvard line last week and has been the terror of every team that has faced the Tigers this year.
