football for 1916 reached the low water prospects mark this afternoon when the Ames Aggies easily outclassed Olcott's Jayhawkers in a 13 to 0 game. Although defeat came only by two touchdowns, never, even against Nebraska last year, has a K. U. football eleven in recent years made such a poor showNot until the final quarter with ing. five Iowa Aggie substitutes playing was Kansas able to make its two first downs.

in this final period that Kansas It was yards, more than durgained ing all the three preceding periods. The utter collapse of the Crimson and attack caused by a constant "ballBlue of signals was a big factor in toup" showing. Even with Ames day's poor putting up: a whirlwind open-play attack the Jayhawker defense held, but it wore down under the regradually peated end runs, fake plays double passes hurled by Mayser's pupils. All during the first three periods and twothirds of the final Kansas was constantly on the defensive, only twice being able to make the ten yards necesto keep possession of the ball. sary PACKER WAS THE AMES HERO.

To Roscoe Packer, the Iowa State College left end, and Right End Jones goes considerable credit for the absolute failthe Jayhawker plays to work. Packer, of his already hurdle an victory herer Robert son Simpson last spring the MissouriAmes dual meet, is again his name proclaimed around Aggieville tonight. With Jones out of the game in the second period with a wrenched knee, Packer took up the job of skirting the K. U. ends and in getting behind the Kansas line in time to break up plays before they got started.

He did hig work well and the final five minutes the game, with victory assured, did Coach Mayser send him to the side lines for a Using a varied assortment of open plays, consisting of end runs, double passes and fakes, Coach Mayser's pupils had little trouble scoring their opening touchdown in the middle of the opening after Ames had taken the ball quarter on and worked it down the thematic With the ball on Kansas's 6-yard line Paige swung around left end for the first score of the game. Jones kicked the goal. A KANSAS FUMBLE COSTLY. With the Kansas line holding well during the second period, the Iowans were kept well outside of the 20-yard zone. Twice during this period Kansas gained possession of the ball within striking distance of the Ames goal, but an intercepted forward pass and a disastrous fumble lost the two chances the Jayhawkers had.

The K. U. defense suddenly let' down the third quarter, Sloss executing an intricate double pass to Aldridge on the Kansas 44-yard line, from where the Aggie back his way elusive, the entire Jayhawker team for the final Ames score. Sloss missed the difficult goal in the wind, leaving the Aggie total at thirteen. AMES 13, KANSAS 0.

Attendance 5.200. A SURPRISE FOR NEBRASKA. Kansas Aggies Were Beaten, but Only by a 14 to 0 Count. LINCOLN. Oct.

Nebraska Cornhuskers compiled another Missouri Valley Conference victory today, but bumped into a surprise and were forced to be content with a 14 to 0 triumph over the scrappy Kansas Aggies from Manhattan. The Huskers played slovenly football in every period but the second, when they marched from the middle of the field by a series of end sprints and line plunges, which ended in Caley going Aggie goal line for a touchdown. An Aggie fumble and a quick recovery by Riddell, Nebraska's right end, who then raced seventy yards with a clear field, netted the Huskers a touchdown in the first period. Captain Corey booted both goals. Nebraska's generalship was striking.

ly deficient during the second half, while the Aggie defense was SO virile that the Huskers invariably were halted in their rushes toward the Kansas goal. Twice the Aggies took the ball on downs when Huskerg were within ten yards of a touchdown, while the Manhattan Farmers threw back three Nebraska line plunges when the ball lacked a scant yard of being pushed over the goal. The Nebraska coaches realize that the Cornhuskers must take a tremendous brace if they are to make a showing that is worthy of Nebraska and Missouri Valley football in next Saturday's conflict at Portland with the Oregon Aggies.

Defeated the Middies in Heavy Scoring Game, 20 to 19. ANNAPOLIS, Oct. -Showing surprising strength and taking quick advantage of the errors of the opposing backfield, Navy piled 1p 19 points against Pittsburgh University today while losing visiting the backfield contest by and one line point. proved too much for the sailors. However, the fumbling of Meadows and Miller lowed the Middies tallies.

Whelchel, who was put in at quarter for the Sailors after Orr was hurt, earned the other Navy tally by a beautiful 70-yard run. FOR WOMEN'S GOLF TITLE. Second Annual City Tourney on at Country Club Tomorrow. The second annual women's golf tournament of Kansas City will commence tomorrow on the Country Club links. An excellent field of home town players will drive and putt their way around the Country Club "eighteen" in the qualifying round, and Tuesday first round play in all classes will begin.

The sixteen women with the low scores will form the championship flight, the next sixteen Class the third sixteen Class while, if there are contestants enough, a surprise flight may be held. The tournament was played last year on the Blue Hills links and the matches up to the finals were played over only twelve holes. The Country Club course, however, has a slightly smaller yardage, and anyway, all championship matches here from now on probably will be 18- hole affairs. The Country Club course should be ideal for good golf for the women. The links have a number of "four" holes and the pin is in sight from more than half the tees.

It is hard pick the probable winner of this year's flag. Miss Carolyn Lee, who won the title last year, is, of course, the most formidable contestant for her own honors. Miss Lee plays a game many men would like to achieve. She drives well, is good on her iron and approach shots, and putts cleverly. Miss Lee has a hard field against her, howeverne Mrs.

defeated Edward in the R. final Morrison, round last year, should make a strong bid for the title this season, and Mrs. Morrison gave Miss Lee a battle all the way last season. Miss Gladys Cranston, the 1915 medalist, is another player to be feared. Miss Cranston one of the prettiest games of any of the players and it is a treat to follow her on one of her rounds.

She should come close to reannexing her medalist honors tomorrow and should go all the way to the semi-finals or final fight. Mrs. Frank Baker won the Blue Hills women's championship Friday and is thus very definitely in the running for the city championship. Mrs. Baker has shown splendid improvement in her game this year.

Miss Ruby Early and Miss Opal Early are two sisters who qualified for the flight at Blue Hills last championship, should easily repeat this year. They have won many honors at the Mission Hills Club on the special contest days and are good golf players. Miss Ethel Ridenour of the tournament committee plays a clever game, as does Mrs. David Thornton, who was chairman of that body last year. Mrs.

Henry Ferry is another golfer of merit, and there are a whole crew of horses" who may upset the dope and give any one of the leaders a defeat. A LONG RUN WON FOR YALE. Legore Tore Off 65 Yards in Blue's 12 to 0 Victory Over Lehigh. NEW HAVEN, Oct. 65- yard run through the entire Lehigh team by Harry Legore featured the tussle in which Yale downed Lehigh 12 to 0 here this afternoon.

Fumbling twice lost the ball for Yale near the Lehigh goal in the first period. The Blue had no trouble stopping the Lehigh rushes and did not permit the enemy inside its 30-yard line.

MeVeigh EDDIE PITTS A VISITOR HERE. Promoter of Welsh- White Bout May Stage Another Championship Match. Eddie Pitts, the man who promoted the big White-Welsh fight in Colorado Springs Labor Day, is in Kansas City with another championship scrap under his bonnet. Eddie is determined apparently to be a party to the dethroning of Welsh. He's going to stage another lightweight championship bout New Year's Day, he declares.

He hasn't set the scene and he hasn't named the other principal, but he has Freddy Welsh's promise and a lot of money to stage the battle. Then Eddie may decide to make Kansas City his home. He likes the place, and doesn't hesitate to say 80. He'd like to hold his championship bout here, too, but New Orleans or some 20- round spot will land it. Pitts will be here several days.

COOPER WON BY A POINT. Failure to Kick Goal After TouchLost Game for Bethany, 6 to 7. STERLING, Oct. Cooper College defeated Bethany College of Lindsborg here this afternoon, 7 to 6. Each team made a touchdown in the final quarter.

The score at the end of the third quarter was 0 to 0, with the ball in Bethany's possession on Cooper 2-yard On the fourth attempt in the fourth quarter Bethany managed to shove the ball across for a touchdown, but failed to kick goal. From this time 011 Cooper played some of the best football ever seen on the local grounds and in eight minutes Cheatum had scored a touchdown for Cooper. Gray kicked goal. A Defeat for Kansas Side Highs. LAWRENCE, Oct.

Law- rence Highs defeated Kansas City, Highs, 21 to 6, here this afternoon in a game marked by much fumbling and many penalties. Officials: Touton, Kansas City Polytech, referee: Sproul, Kansas, umpire; Heath, Kansas, head linesman, HIS FIRST 15-ROUND GO BENNY LEONARD TO BE GIVEN A TEST IN BOUT WITH HAMMER. Chicago "Swede," Who Made Friends Here in Dundee Match, Should Show Well Against New Yorker-Thorp and C. Leonard in One Bout. Benny Leonard, a recognized contender for the lightweight championship of the world, will make his initial appearance in the West in his first 15- round bout Wednesday night in Convention Hall as the headliner in a rather unusual card arranged by the Central Athletic Club.

In his bout the New York battler will meet the ever hammering Ever Hammer, the Chicago Swede who recently won many friends here by his battle against Johnny Dundee, a fight he lost. Along with the main attraction is billed another of considerable interest, still a third. Harvey Thorp, Kansas City's own lightweight, will have another chance for fame. This time the Dutchman will meet Charley Leonard, a brother of the famed Benny, in a 10-round encounter. Charley Leonard has a longer list of k.

o.8 after his name than the other member of the family. The third bout will bring together Charley Aronson, a come-back, and Freddy Hammann. THE BOUT A REAL TEST FOR LEONARD. The Leonard-Hammer bout would be a sensation in the lightweight world if Hammer were to check the rather spectacular career of Leonard. It must be remembered that the bout is rather a test for the New Yorker.

It is his first fling at the long distance route, a route he must always be prepared to travel if he is real championship timber. Billy Gibson confides that that's the big reason he brought Benny West. He declares the Hammer bout would have drawn more in New York but it would have had to be a 10-round affair. He wants to prepare Leonard for the marathon route. He realizes the title would have to be won over such a route and that Benny must be ready for it.

Never has the New Yorker gone past the 10-round mark. Only once has he boxed to a decision. That bout was scheduled to be a 12-round affair, but Benny toppled his opponent, Phil Bacon, in eight sessions. HAMMER A WILLING MIXER. Hammer's style of milling vis known here.

He revels in the 15-round stuff, in fact, his last five rounds are his best usually. He is a rip-tearing miller of the Bat Nelson style and may make a better showing against the Leonard style of a miller than Dundee. Leonard's style is not SO hard to solve as that of the Italian scrapper. The two battlers will make 138 pounds ringside, a poundage that should not be at all difficult for either. Ed Smith, the Chicago, He sport will be writer, remembered will referee here the for his work as third man in the ring the night Dillon and Levinsky fought.

The special bout will give Harvey Thorp his big chance again. He has had several, his last with Charley White when he backed away for ten rounds. This time he meets a rough slugger in Charley Leonard, a boy who carries a hard punch. But he is confident and asked the chance to redeem himself. Interest in the opening bout will center around C.

Arenson's jaw. Charley declares he has a new one of iron to replace the old one of glass. If so, Freddy Hammann has a battle on his Hammann made first appearance here this season when he trimmed Harry Hennesy at the Academy a few weeks ago. Benny Leonard will work this afternoon at the K. C.

A. C. at 3 o'clock his brother, Charley, immediately afterwards. Hammer, if he arrives, will work at Cutler's Club and SO will Harvey Thorp. Jack Douglas and Bobby Burns have been matched to fight in Des Moines Thursday night.

Chick Johnson will send Joe Leopold to Oklahoma City tonight, where he will meet Nate Jackson later in the week. Fred Sears. former manager of Arthur Pelky, Al Norton, Vic Hanson and Jack White, is back in Kansas City again, this time as chief adviser to Carlo Morris. A FIELD GOAL BEAT TUFTS. Princeton Won a Close Game Through Dave Tibbott's Toe.

PRINCETON. N. Oct. on the 45-yard line in 1 the last few minutes of playing time, Dave Tibbott, a substitute Princeton back, sent a drop kick soaring between the seemingly uprights scoreless and changed what a game into a 3 to 0 victory for Princeton over Tufts. Tibbott had been of the game all season with injuries and would not have been called into the fray this afternoon had not several of Princeton backfield men been injured.

Jack Eddy, the Princeton quarter back, was the individual star of the afternoon, tearing off 30 and 40-yard runs through open fields and again. Tufts failed to gain through Princeton's line but now and then were successful in some intricate plays. MINNESOTA PILED UP POINTS. South Dakota Eleven Was Snowed Under a 47 to 7 Score. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct.

University of Minnesota overwhelmed North Dakota University, 47 to 7, here today. Minnesota had little difficulty in breaking down their opponents' defense, and the North Dakotans pounded the Minnesota line with little success. YESTERDAY'S FOOTBALL RESULTS. IN THE VALLEY. Ames 13, Kansas 0.

THE SOONERS WERE BEATEN HENRY KENDALL COLLEGE DOWNED OKLAHOMA WITH OPEN PLAYS. Benny Owen's Crippled Eleven Was Outplayed All the Way and Showed Weak Offense in Enemy's Territory-First Period Scoreless. NORMAN, Oct.

the first time in two years Oklahoma State University today went down to defeat before the Henry Kendall College of Tulsa, 16 to 0. Brilliant open field playing on the part of Kendall, coupled with the fact that Coach Owen's team was shattered with injuries, was responsible for the score. The heavy team of Presbyterian veterans outplayed the Sooners throughout most of the game, punting, forward passing and using straight to advantage. Oklahoma, on the other hand, fumbled frequently and played erratically when in possession of the ball in Kendall territory. The first period ended without a score and the ball in possession of the state university eleven near the center of the field, but at the opening of the second period Kendall held for downs and took the ball.

An exchange of punts followed, after which Kendall carried the pigskin to the 31-yard line and on the fourth down Grove registered a place kick, Jones holding the ball. Shortly after the field goal was kicked Kendall got the ball downs in Sooner territory and scored a touchdown, Grove tossing a pass to Hause, who raced thirty yards across the line. Grove then missed goal, making the score 9 to 0. In the last period Kendall again scored a touchdown, and Grove kicked The lineup and summary: Oklahoma State. Position.

Playing the open style game of football and using the forward pass with great success, the Warrensburg State Normal School scored its second straight victory of the season here yesterday by smothering the Kansas City Veterinary Col-1 lege eleven under a 26 to 6 score. The game, a rough and tumble affair, was marred by a fight near the end of the third period and Charley (Heavy) Laird, the big Vet guard, was the victim. Laird, playing against Tom Lee, was accused of holding by "his man" early in the game. After the latter had received a scratch on the lip trouble started and it was Lee who put Laird out for the count and then some. Bobby right tackle of the Normals, seeing there was trouble ahead for his team, jumped into the battle, shot a right cross to Laird's jaw, who had to be assisted off the field.

All the players who took part in the fight were immediately put out of the game and play soon was resumed. The Vets played their football in the first and last quarter. Normals best, were held scoreless in the opening period, but Taylor, the speedy end of the Teach. ers, intercepted a Vet forward pass and ran thirty-five yards for a touchdown near the close of the second session. Taylor kicked the goal.

Ten minutes after the third quarter was under way Quarter Back, Gunn the Warrensburg. ers flipped onward pass thirty-five yards down the field into the waiting arms of Taylor, who was downed in his tracks on goal line. Taylor missed a fairly easy goal. The third Normal touchdown resulted in another interception of a Vet forward pass, Ritter jumping into the air, pulling down the oval and ran thirty-three vards across the goal line. Goal from touchdown again was missed by Taylor.

Near the middle of the final quarter the Normal eleven worked another suecessful flip for their last score of the game, Anderson, counting the touchdown. Taylor kicked goal.

University had little trouble in defeating South Dakota State College on the gridiron here today, 26 to 3. Three of Wisconsin's touchdowns were made by Simpson, left halfback, after a series of line bucks had advanced the ball to within South Dakota's 5 or 3-yard line. Berg also scored a touchdown for the victors. South Dakota made its only score in the fourth period on a drop kick by Dunne from the 25-yard line. HASKELL LOST TO NOTRE DAME.

The South Bend Eleven Snowed the Indians Under a 26 to 0 Score. SOUTH BEND, Oct. Dame defeated the Haskell Indians 26 to 0 today in a snappy game. The Catholics played a fast offensive game and on defense the line withstood every attack. The longest gain of the Indians came in the fourth quarter, when two passes and a long end run put the ball inside Notre Dame's 20-yard line.

Both sides were penalized frequently. For the Catholics, Cofall, Bergman, Slackford and Grant were the greatest ground gainers. COLGATE STOPPED ILLINOIS, Crbann Eleven Suffered It First Defent in Three Years, 15 to 3. URBANA, Oct. received its first defeat today since 1913 when Colgate took the long end of a 15 to 3 score.

Gillo, Colgate's star, was the fear of the Illini. Colgate outchief played the Illinois eleven in all respects and never failed to hold when the Illini grew dangerous. Out of several chances to score Illinois was able to get only place kick by Macomber from the 20-yard line. PASSED MISSOURI GAME. J.

Resta's time for the 250 miles was two hours, 24 minutes, 16.68 seconds, a rate of 103.9 miles an hour.

HARVARD'S SUBS WON EASILY. A 21 to 0 Victory Over North Carolina for the Crimson. CAMBRIDGE, Oct. football eleven from the University of North Carolina, coached by a Harvard graduate and equipped with Harvard plays, lost to Harvard today, 21 to 0. It was an exhibition of Harvard's secondary strength, as six reserves were called upon to fill the places of regulars injured in the game that Harvard lost to Tufts last week.

Casey, at fullback, gained against North Carolina after the fashion which made Mahan famous, skirting the ends, slipping through the line or dodging and twisting for considerable advances. His open attack was ably supplemented by the bull-like rushes of Horween. ARMY WON FROM HOLY CROSS. Cadets Outplayed Their Opponents, but Drew Many Penalties, WEST POINT, N. Oct.

Army won from Holy Cross today, 17 to 0. The Cadets outplayed their opponents from the start, but loose handling of the ball at critical times and penalties for holding occasionally nullified fine work in advancing the ball. THE TIGERS GOT REVENGE PLAYING DOWNED REAL FOOTBALL, MISSOURI WASHINGTON, 13 0. Victory Evened Up Last Year's Detent at the Hands of the Pikers-Stan kowaki the Real Star of the Machine. COLUMBIA, Oct.

mint season football, showing great interterence with an offensive the Piker teamn was unable to stop, Missouri Univer sity's Tigers this afternoon defeated the Washington University team of Louis, 13 to 0.
