On The Drake Disaster
By Joe Turner
"Phog" Allen was right. Kansa did meet Drake on the one-yard line many times. And to the Jayawack's credit it be said that she machine the fighting back before the winnings counter was pushed over.
Captain Jones won the toss for Kansas, and chose to defend the west goal, putting the gun in Drake's eyes.
Grifin eaught the Drake kick-off, and returned it twenty yards. It was "Griffs" first pigskin packing in a Varsity game.
Three consecutive and successful Drake passes put the Bull Dogs on the Kansas ten-yard line. Then a the Kansas penalty advanced the ball to the one-yard line. Here Spurgeon smothered a Drake fumble, and Kansas may have been saved for a time had not "Mac" been downback of the goal line before he could get off a punt.
The only Kansas counter came through a series of passes, Wilson to McAdamna, then a blink and Griffin was in the hands of Griffin, who flipped just over the line.
Griffin showed a world of speed on the kick-off that followed the Kansas touchdown, dropping the Drake back to 34. The ball before he had adDED a yard.
Piesen, Drake half, was robbed of a pretty twenty-five yard run. in the second quarter, when Cochrane called the ball back for a five-yard penalty on the Bull Dogs.
Titent two quarter fight on the Kansas five-yard line was a wonderful display of defensive work on the part of the Jayhawk line. At that the Drake pass on the fourth down came so close to being completed that we were ready to mark up 6 for the Blue and White.

If Drake hadn't drawn so many penalties in the fourth quarter, well—#ose, winning touchdowns would have come sooner, that's all.
Niggeneyer finally packed over the first touchdown, straight through the Jayhawk line.
Niggemeyer to Long through the air was the way the second Drake score came, Niggemeyer missing the kick for goal.
Gordon Saunders again showed up well on the defensive, beating the ends down on one or two punts for clean tackles.
The more we see of other fields,the more we crave our Stadium.
E. A. Maynor, of the Missouri coaching staff, was scouting Saturday's battle for the Tigers. Before the results of the Ames-Missouri game had come in, Maynor advanced the belief that Ames was two touchdowns better than the Tigers, and that the Tigers and Drake were about in the same position. But that Missouri had overcome the Ames lead and copped their first Valley victory, he didn't have much to say except that he was "happy."
