TIGERS DISPLAY POWER TO BEAT WILDCATS 31-0 THK iShJPAUA. IIP.MurK M)A Y. 1. 1931 I), will ftr Km for In gaii. Ik; 11 st ead' for for Rarn 27 First Downs and Make .356 Yards From i Scrimmage SEDALIA LEADS 21 TO 0 AT HALF Iveslie Leads Ground Gainers and Scores Two of The Touchdowns Slaters Wildcats were relegated to a position in the Big Seven graveyard along side tlio remains of Odessa and T.exington Friday night at Liberty J'ark as a rejuvenated Smith-Cotton football toarri slashed its way to a lopsided 31 to 0 victory and wound up its home season in a sensational blaze of glory.

With Bob Leslie and his backfield mate.s performing admirably behind a fiist charging line, the Tigers took a commanding hand at. the start and had the outcome cinchod before the second quarter was scarcely under way. Gaining possession of the hall on tho opening kickoff, the Smith-Cotton eleven marched fifty-five yards toward the Wildcat goal before a tumble upset their first drive but Slater was forced to kick as the Tiger line held and the onslaught was started once more. Leslie, Y. Hogan, Connelly and Ridgeway alternated in carrying the ball through wide gaps in the Slater forward wall with Hogan climaxing a sixty yard scoring march by counting the first touchdown on a plunge from the one yard line late in the first quarter.

Smith-Cotton renewed its touchdown parade early in the second stanza when' Ridgeway went over the Wildcat goal from the 3-yard stripe after a bewildering trek from midfield. The try for an extra point again failed. Gaining muinentum as the game grew older, the Smith-Cotton machine swept on to two additional touchdowns before the half ended, Leslie and Connelly registering following unretarded marches of forty and thirty-five yards respectively, to give tlie Davenport clan a 24 to' 0 margin at the halftime. An entirely new lineup took the field for the Bengals in the third quarter and continued to carry the fight to the visitors but it remained for the varsity to account for the final blow about midway in the last period. With Leslie in the leading ground gaining role the victors clipped off first down after first down until the Tiger fullback ended the onslaught by pulverizing the Wildcat barrier for four yards and tlie final touchdown.

Leslie accounted for the only extra point of the game on a plunge through the weak side of the Slater line. So universal was the domination that Slater, had it been able to half-way cupe with the vicious Smith-Cotton attack, could have accomplished little against the Black and Gold line which ground all opposition beneath its thunder ing charge. Tlie Smith-Cotton eleviui which took the field last niglit showed such a vast improvement over the team of a week ago that it appeared to have an added season of training behind it. A better idi-a of the superiority than the score might indicate can tie obtained from the statistics, Avhich give the Davenport warriors a total of 27 first downs against only two for the Wildcats. The triumph marked Smith-Cot tou's ninth consecutive conquest in the Big Seven ranks over a span of almost (wo seasons and was its third in a row in tlm current campaign.

outstanding among many features were the sudden revival of the charging Tiger line and the. line plunging of Leslie, who proved to be a human battering ram, gaining six to eight yards on each attempt. generalship' and the blocktiig of Ridgeway likewise played prominent parts in the Smith- Cotton victory. Maurice Hogan, elusive halfback who has ben laid up with a knee injury for several weeks, took a short turn in the Tiger backfield bi confined his activities to pass iiig and signal calling. He was removed after eight minutes in tlie game following a blow on his injured memh but the hurt received no furC aggravation.

A brilliant run of 43 yards by George Stiibf Tiger quarterback, after he had snatched a 20 yard pass Irom Don nil back ended over the goal line after he had evaded several would- be tacklers.

Carl place kick was good for the seventh point. The Huski rs owe much of their victory to Everett Keizinger, star halt hack, who pavr-d the way tor their touchdown in the third per- ioil.

Stuher to Collings, put the ball on the half yard line. With down and four to make the IS inches, Hatfield was given the first shot at the line, but the Husker forward wall held. Before the 'J'igcrs could get a second crack at the line, however, the final gun sounded and tlie game was ovei-. All hough deffated, tlie Missouri offense clicked tor the first time this season, and the reappearance of Captain Frank Bittner, who has been out of the game for a month on account of injuries, in no little way played a leading pan in reviving the 9 igers.
