THE KANSAS CITY TIMES. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1914. OKLAHOMA BEAT HASKELL THOUSAND PERSONS SAW A 33 FIVE TO 12 AVIATION FOOTBALL GAME. The Sooners Gave a Great Exhibition Forward Passing, but Also Showed That They Could Gain at Straightaway Football. Aviation football, it might be called, doughty, lithe Oklahomans outand the flew the rougher, sturdier Haskell In33 to 12.

The spectators could dians, have been thankful for nothing better. The pigskin was joyriding in the air most of the afternoon, and that's exactly what "teamless" Kansas City--five thousand strong -went to Association Park to see. That they saw two aero squads at work is shown by the fact that Bennie Owens's Sooners completed nine clean, beautiful forward passes and the Indians of Bert Kennedy six. At least thirty passes were tried, ftve of which were intercepted by opposing players and the rest of which either fell incompleted or took their course out of bounds. But forward passes did not constitute the entire menu.

There were fleet end runs and savage line plunges for seasoning. But passing reached crowd's palate, and they feasted on it. It wasn't so much that Oklahoma outpassed the redmen in distance. The Indians failed to get down on several or the flips and on other occasions outran them. The Oklahomans played their passes well, and several times snatched to fall in hands.

them by just as they were about leaps, THE JOHNSONS IN GREAT BUNS. In broken field running the Sooners gave rare treats. Mont Johnson's greater gains were made in serpentine fashion, the Oklahoma half shaking off Redmen like scouts dropped them in frontier days. His brother, Hap Johnson, also has received several degrees in the same art. On one occasion received a punt on his own 30-yard line and squirmed through a strung out line six deep and sprinted seventy yards to a touchdown.

A 40-yard pass, in which Montgomery leaped from between two Indians, grabbed the ball, stepped around the redskins and skirted over for a touchdown, and a 75-yard punt by Artichoker were other spectacular features. The Haskell punting was off as long as Powell did it, Artichoker showing better, but "Choker" was sadly off on kicks from placement. There was a touch of rough football the part of the Indians and it cost them the loss of two men. Mzhickteno and Fontenelle were put out of for unsavory tactics, the latter twisting Capshaw's ankle after he was down. Oklahoma's game was clean beyond question throughout.

The Indians sent over the first touchof the early in the first period. It came after the Sooners had put up a marvelous defense on their own 4-yard line and was the result of a poor punt by Guyer. Immediately after the kickoff Powell punted from the 50-yard line and Oklahoma fumbled on its second down, Haskell recovering. The Sooner line held admirably and the redmen couldn't push the short distance to a touchdown. When Oklahoma got the ball on downs Guyer fell back for a punt, but he was rushed and as a result kicked hurriedly, the ball being grabbed by an Indian on the 20-yard line.

Powell then plowed through an 11-yard gain and on the next down found a hole in right and went over for a touchdown. Artichoker wackie, missed the goal. A TOUCHDOWN BY STRAIGHT FOOTBALL. At the kickoff the Sooners started an irresistible march, in which they did not call upon open work. Only one forward pass was tried and it failed.

M. Johnson proved a great ground gainer and it was principally through his efforts that the ball was carried to the 10-yard line, where Capshaw skirted left end for a touchdown, Guyer, kicking goal. The second Oklahoma touchdown was their most sensational one. After some seesawing, in which several forward passes failed, Powell was forced to punt from his 30-yard line. Hap Johnson, the Sooner quarter, received the ball on his own 30-yard line and, with an exhibit of broken field running such as is seldom seen, squirmed through the oncoming Indians and traveled seventy yards for a touchdown, Guyer kicking goal.

Then two Haskell penalties for rough work kept the ball in the Indian territory for a short time, but Oklahoma's offense seemed to fail and Powell punted to the 50-yard line. Then came a series of three beautiful passes. The first. Guyer to Capshaw, gained twelve yards; the second, Capshaw to Montgomery, added fifteen more, and then a double pass, Johnson to Capshaw to Montgomery, was good for twenty more and put the ball on Haskell's 2-yard line, from which point Capshaw carried it through for a touchdown, Guyer missing the goal. The Indians soon after worked a 30- yard; pass after several close attempts, Flood, the wily Indian quarter, grabbing Artichoker's flin and traveling ten yards for the touchdown.

Artichoker again missed goal. McCaslin then replaced Guyer a through 15-yard pass to Montgomery. Another attempt was intercepted by Wilson of the Indians and the half ended after the play. HELD INDIANS FOR DOWNS. The third period started with both sides passing almost continually, most of the pegs failing.

The Indians were held for downs on Oklahoma's 45-yard line and on the Sooners' first down Guyer shot a marvelous 40-yard pass to Montgomery, whose receipt a wonder. The fleet end dodged the two Indians who were upon him and planted another touchdown, Capshaw kicking goal. The Indians then manipulated two passes, which took them into Oklahoma's territory. One of the passes was for thirty yards, Artichoker to Jameson. Then Artichoker tried a field goal from the 40-yard line and missed.

The remainder the period was played in Haskell's half for the most part. The ball put in play the start of the last period on Haskell's 15-yard line with the Sooners in possession. They carried it up to the 5-yard line by savage plunges and then Capshaw shot through a niche in left guard for the final touchdown the game. Guyer missed goal. Shortly afterward another 30-yard pass, Montgomery, good for a touchdown, but the ball was called back and Oklahoma was penalized for off side.

After Montgomery had fumbled another pass a moment later Clements recovered and Artichoker punted seventy-five yards son. Then the Indians intercepted a pass and executed one of their own, a remarkable one, which netted forty yards. They tried another but it was intercepted and the game ended shortly after had punted the ball away from Guyer danger zone. Both teams were penalized once for off side. Oklahoma was fined fifteen.

yards once for holding and the Indians suffered two for unnecessary rough work. penalties, netted the Soon-1 ers twenty yards, half the distance to the goal, and the second about fifteen yards. The lineup: Oklahoma, 33. Position. Haskell, 12.

Georgetown. JEWELLS LOST TO WESLEYANS. Pile's Team Captured a 10 to 7 Game, Playing Defensively. CAMERON, Nov. Pixlee's Missouri Wesleyan eleven won the final tilt of the season here from the William Jewell team, 10 to 7.

It was one of the prettiest college football games ever witnessed here and ably the largest crowd ever out here saw the contest. Wesleyan's points consisted of a 36-yard drop kick by Poland and a touchdown with goal, all scored in the first quarter. After that the Wesleyans were on the defensive most of the time. The Jewell eleven scored a touchdown and goal in the third quarter and played the ball deep in the Wesleyan territory all through final period, but were unable to carry the across. The defense of the Cameron team when its goal line was threatened was superb.

Pixlee's team showed its ability to fight under its goal line right at the jump of the game when the Jewells the ball within the Wesleyan 10-yard line. Wesleyan took the ball on downs. Poland always kicked the ball well out of the danger zone. William Jewell carried the ball prob ably three times the distance the Wesleyans did, but they seemed to lack the final punch. Three times the Jewells, playing fast and splendidly, rushed the ball half the length of field to within the Wesleyan 10-yard line, only to fumble at the threshold and each time Wesleyan man was to fall on the ball.

Twice the Jewells were held for downs within the opponents' 10- yard line and when the first half ended they had the ball within two yards of the Wesleyan goal with another down to go. Jewell handicapped by the absence of Brandom, who played in two downs. Godfreaux played brilliantly for the Jewells. Missouri Wesleyan did not attempt a forward pass during the game and Jewell did not fall back on the onward until late in the last quarter, when three attempts failed. The crowd was handled excellently and was good to look at, more than one hundred motor cars occupying the space where there were no bleachers.

Kansas soon broke up this play and by straight football using the cross buck plowed through the Missouri line almost at will.

Belting made place kick from the 25-yard line. The score at the end of the first half was, Kansas 17, Missouri 0. the second half, the plunges of their heavy opponents soon told on the Missouri Normals and the game was played in Missouri territory. Kansas, like Missouri, accomplished little on the forward pass, but scored repeatedly on line and eross bucks.

LOGAN DEFEATED THE "WILDCAT" WASN'T WILD AND LOST BY GOOD MARGIN. Omaha Boxer Had Oklahoma Blond Hanging On Several Times, but Couldn't Land the Rig PunchFerns Lacked Old Fire.

ST. JOSEPH, Nov. Ferns of Kansas City took a hard walloping here tonight at the hands of Bud Logan of Omaha, and at the close the fifteenth round Referee Walter Bates de- clared Logan the winner. Twice in the mixup Ferns was in a bad way. In the seventh round Logan had the Kansas City boxer wobbly, the bell preventing him from landing the finishing blow.

Ferns came up well in the eighth round, but from then on Logan wore his opponent down with terrific body blows. The thirteenth round was almost a repe tition of the seventh. Ferns tried to get in a knockout blow during the last two sessions, but the Omaha boy was his equal at everything. In the fifteenth Ferns started at Logan like a whirlwind. Logan, however, bested him in a couple of exchanges and then Ferns clinched and held on.

Only in the fifth tenth rounds did Ferns have a shade. The second, fourth, sixth and eighth rounds were even. It was announced tonight that Carl Morris of Sapulpa and Sailor Carroll of San Francisco will meet here December 15. BEAT THE BLUEJAYS, 53 TO 0.

Wilson, Cochran and Ragsdale starred for Central.

Special trains from Fulton and Moberly carried large crowds of rooters, and it is estimated that two hundred motor cars came from neighboring towns. A falling grandstand carried down two hundred students and teachers in the midst of the game, slightly injuring two young ladies. A big shirttail parade tonight ended the day's festivities in Fayette. ROLLA PILED UP BIG SCORE. The St.

Louis University Team Was Defented by the Miners, 0 to 63. ST. LoUIS, Nov. Rolla School of Mines' eleven, a preponderance of weight, muscle and gridiron skill over the St. Louis University team, defeated the latter, 63 to 0, here today.

In the last five minutes of play Louis displayed more energy and pluck than at any other time during the game. Twice during these few minutes St. Louis carried the ball to Rolla's 15-yard line, and once the St. Louis team tried a place kick. The miners, however, blocked the kick, gained the ball and advanced about thirty on the same play.

Injuries, penalties and disbarments were numerous. Left Tackle Copley, the miners' best ground gainer, was taken out for slugging, as were also Welch and Cross of Louis. Halfback Imlay of Rolla suffered a fractured jaw in the second quarter, but returned during the next quarter and tore the St. Louis line to pieces. DANCY TO LEAD NORMALS.

Although this was Dancy's first year on the squad, the big blond was picked by every critic as a man far above the college caliber and fit for varsity service. Dancy was unable to participate in today's battle with the Kansas Normals on account of an injury sustained in the Jewell contest a week ago.

The big fellow hails from Kansas City, where he graduated Central High School, and was considered one of the best all-around athletes of the blue and white. COULDN'T STOP EICHENLAUB. Notre Dame's Fullback Tore Syracuse to Pieces, Catholles Winning, 20 to 0. SYRACUSE, N. Nov.

McCarty of Lewiston, fought a fast 10-round draw with Battling Levinsky in Brooklyn today. McCarty weighed 180 pounds and Levinsky scaled five pounds less. McCarty proved to be a fast and willing two handed fighter, and he was on the aggressive nearly all the time. Levinsky's experience and clever blocking saved him from punishment, but McCarty had the better of the first three rounds. The fourth was Levinsky's on clever hitting, but McCarty shaded him in the two following rounds.

Levinsky hooked lefts the face, and at close quarters punished McCarty on the body during the last rounds, while McCarty's jabs drew blood from Levinsky's nose and mouth in the seventh. It was the fastest bout between big men seen here in several months. At another' Brooklyn club Soldier Bartfield, a New York welter weight, held Jack Britton of Chicago to a 10- round draw.

Petroskey was knocked down for the count of nine in the first round.

LANGFORD KNOCKED OUT WILLS. The New Orleans Negro Floored "Tar Baby" Four Tines Before Taking Connt. Los ANGELES. Nov. a left swing to the jaw, Sam Langford of Boston knocked out Harry Wills, the giant New Orleans negro, in the fourteenth round of a scheduled 20-round fight this afternoon in Vernon.

It was a slugging contest. Both men were knocked down repeatedly, Langford himself taking the benefit of the count four times in first two rounds. Langford hurt his left ankle early in the fight when he fell to the floor after a vicious breakaway. This handicapped him until, the soreness wearing out, he was able to keep pace with the shifty Wills in footwork. Wills's effective straight arm punches enabled him to hold the negro even for many rounds, but finally Langford's superior knowledge of the game counted and he wore the younger man down.

After the twelfth round Langford played with his opponent. The knockout blow in the fourteenth round was delivered after a torrent of right and left hooks had made Wills groggy. NEW LEADER IN MID-WEST. By Tumbling (31 Pins, Heinie Hoyer Jumped Into First Place. SIOUX CITY, Nov.

Pullen established his high average despite many stops at the pits, and to do it he frequently tore over the 2.76- mile course at a rate of nearly one hundred miles an hour. Oldfield was the only driver who did not have to stop at least once on account of tire or other troubles, or for fuel or oil. His car was one of the lightest in the contest. The race was in doubt until the last lap. Pullen finished only three minutes and forty-six seconds ahead of O'Donnell, who drove up from the rear toward the end, and Oldfield's little car flashed in but forty seconds behind O'Donnell.

Nineteen cars started. Eight went out before the fiftieth lap was reached, and only six were still going when the leader completed the 109 laps of the race. Bursting tires twice jeopardized Pullen, and only quick, cool work saved him.

Clear and fart, CORNELL WON IN A FINISH PENNSY FORGED AHEAD IN THIRD PERIOD, BUT LOST, 12 TO 24. Berrett, Quarter Back, Scored 17 of the Winning Team's Points and Was the Star of the Game Penalties Costly to New Yorkers. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. de feated the University of Pennsylvania in their annual game on Franklin Field here today by the score of 24 to 12 in an interesting but loosely played contest. The Quakers gave the Ithacans a bad scare in the third period, when with the score 10 to 0 against them, the Pennsylvanians suddenly reversed the form they had shown and before the New Yorkers could recover their equilibrium the home eleven had forged to the front 12 to 10.

Cornell, however, again put its scoring machine in motion and when the period had ended the visitors again had the advantage, 17 to 12. On the form the two teams have shown recently, Cornell was looked upon as an easy winner and the switch of the lead from Cornell to Pennsylvania and then back again to the Ithacan team threw a lot of life into the game. Cornell did not play with the smoothness that was expected, fumbles and penalties costing her the loss of much ground. The visitors, however, barring the fumbles were seldom stopped in their progress. Forward passes greatly aided in scoring two touchdowns.

Bar. rett played a wonderful game for Cornell. He contributed seventeen of Cornell's 24 points and stopped many of Pensylvania's plays. The line-up: Cornell-24. Position.

The American and English teams were the contestants and the end of the fifth period found the Britishers on the long end of a 7 to 6 game. Capt. John H. Johnson drove the English car and Raymond Claypool handled the mallet. Walter Sterling, captain, and Charles Adams, mallet man, comprised the team that represented America.

The American wonder. ful skill in the first period and it looked as though match was going to be one sided. The Britishers, however, took a spurt in their half and put over two goals, at the same time holding their opponents scoreless. The front wheel on the American car broke at this period, throwing the driver and the mailet man out, but they speedily jumped into another machine and resumed playing. The contest was close until the final period, when the British team made goals and Americans two goals.

In the fifth period the American car overturned and for few seconds it was thought that Charles Adams, the mallet man, had been seriously injured. He recovered in a few minutes and remained in the game, immediately after making a goal by a pretty back hand shot. The game furnished plenty of excitement and those who went with a view being entertained by dare devil feats were not disappointed. The match now stands one game each. The same teams will play this afternoon, tomorrow and Sunday.
