Special to the Kansan.
FIRST HALF.
Topeka, Kans, Oct. 29—Kansas University defeated Washburn college here this afternoon by a score of 5 to 0, in one of the most interesting foot ball games ever witnessed by a Topeka crowd. There were about 4500 people on the grand stands and on the side lines and although the weather was rather warm and depressive, it lessened none the vigor and enthusiasm of the players. It was thrilling and hotly contested from the beginning to end.
Washburn attempted to play Lakin but he was ruled out before the game commenced because he was not even registered at Washburn.
Washburn kicked off and Kansas returned the ball about thirty yards to the middle of the field. Kansas hit the line for several good gains but was soon forced to punt. Washburn got the ball on their own twenty yard line and returned the ball about twelve yards. Kansas held Washburn for downs, got the ball and by making heavy onslaughts on the line made good gains.
SECOND HALF.
Bruner hit the line with telling effect while Pooler, Green and Ise always made their gains. Kansas reached Washburn's ten yard line and there was held for downs. Washburn returned the ball about fifteen yards and the first half ended with the ball on Washburn's twenty-five yard line.
All during the first half the ball was in Washburn's territory. Kansas hit their line repeatedly for gains, while Kansas' line was almost impregnable to them.
Kansas kicked off. Washburn repeatedly made her gains, Caldwell, Stewart and Dadisman, did ther best work and found the holes in Kansas' line. Washburn brought the ball down to Kansas' fifteen yard line. Here Kansas buckled down and held them.
Michaelson showed up in good form, while Pooler and Ise were in the finest condition possible, playing the game desperately, ever aware of the necessity of playing their hardest in order to uphold the crimson and blue.
In the second half up to this time,it had been decidedly in favor of Washburn. It was her time,but Pooler punted out of
danger and started things Kansas' way. Kansas got the ball on Washburn's forty yard line. Donald and Green hit the line for several gains. They worked the ball to the twenty-five yard line.
With the ball on the twenty-five yard line Pooler took the ball and without any interference got around the right end. He dodged and got past Caldwell and crossed the goal line at the corner of the field, but was able to place the ball safely behind the posts. Pooler missed goal leaving the final score 5 to 0.
