NUMBER 22
BEAT WASHBURN: SCORE WAS 23 TO
WASHBURN COULD NOT STAND UP AGAINST LINE PLUNGES OF JAYHAWKERS.
Kansas Goal Line Not Once in Danger-Every Jay hawker Starred and Team Work Was Done in Perfect Form.
Like a mist before the blistering rays of a noon day sun the hopes of the warriors of Weede disappeared this afternoon in a walk-away game for the Jayhawkers. The score was 23 to 0. From the time the first whistle blew till the end of the struggle Washburn failed to get in speaking acquaintance with the Kansas goal line. The much vaunted forward passes and famous crosses proved of no value to the enemy from Topeka.
Hope, Smiley and Captain Robb played desperately to save the day. Robb was taken out in the last half heart broken over the result. The Congregationalists fought nobly but were up against the inevitable, and were forced to taste the bitter medicine of defeat.
Kansas plowed through the Washburn time and time again for gains of ten, fifteen and twenty yards. The game was won on straight football and the secret plays that have been learned, were not revealed. Dahlene, Myers, Bond, Carlson and in fact every man on the Jayhawker team were stars. The game was hard fought and many players were injured.
FIRST HALF
In the first half the ball was almost continuously in Kansas hands in Washburn territory. The Kansas line was solid and during the time Washburn did possess the ball they could make no gains. Their forward pass while successful twice did not gain much ground.
Kansas scored in the first half through line bucks, Johnson's ability to punt, and the work of the backfield and the ends in end running.
The Congregationalists' line could not hold the charging Jayhawkers. Dahlene, Fiske and Myers went through huge holes in the Blue line for great gains. These bucks alternated with end runs by Rice and
Pleasant, who made great gains made the first score. The Jayhawkers lugged the ball in a continuous line to their opponents four yard line and Stanley Myers bucked Washburn for the first touchdown.
From that time on Kansas made consistent gains. Twice the ball was close toWashburn's goal, and twice Dahlene missed place kicks. Then the old plugging was resorted to, Myers made 15 on an end run and with the ball on the five yard line two bucks carried it over for the second touchdown. Fiske carried the ball and Dahlene kicked goal.
The half continued as a kicking match in which Johnson had a shade the better of Hope. The half ended with the ball in K.U.'s possession in the center of the field. Score:K.U.,12; Washburn,0.
SECOND HALF.
In the second half Vaughn Wood got his first chance on the Varsity replacing Harley Wood. Bond took Dahlene's place at full. The same straight football was used, in fact not a single one of the pet plays Kennedy means to spring on Nebraska was used.
The best play of Kansas was a tandem line buck with Bond, Fiske, or Myers carrying the ball. The linemen always made an opening large enough for a coach and four to go through and the play seldom failed. After eight minutes of playing with Kansas always on the defensive, Rice circled left end for a touchdown. Bond failed at goal.
Houghton replaced Fiske and K. U. made steady gains but lost the ball on a fumble. Here Washburn did their best playing and kept the Jayhawkers from their goal line until the game was nearly over. Smiley made 30 yards for the Topekans, their longest gain, and they worked a pass for 20. Rice
broke up their advance by catching an onside kick from Washburn. Waring went in for Myers and Steele for Johnson. Immediately the Jayhawkers began another advance which ended in Bond going over for the fourth and last touchdown and kicking his own goal.
Score K. U. 23. Washburn 0.

UNIVERSITY TEACHES TACT.
Wallace Hovey, '08, Convinces Ewing Herbert That This Is True.
To illustrate his belief that a university course taught optimism and tact Ewing Herbert, editor of the Brown County World, in his chapel talk Friday morning told an incident about Wallace Hovey, '08, a former managing editor of the Kansan, and now in Mr. Herbert's employ at Hiawatha.
After his chapel address Mr. Herbert spoke to the newspaper classes. He gave an interesting discussion of the possibility that country newspapers might cease to be distinctly political publications by the reason of the general use of political advertisements incident to the adoption of the primary system.

STOLEN FROM CHECK STAND
$100 ATHLETIC FUNDS TAKEN THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Transit Stolen from Engineering Department Recently, and Y. W. CA."Mite Ray" Diffled
C. A. "Mite Box" Rifled.
Thursday afternoon between 4:30 and 5:30 while Fay Livengood and Arnold Livers, keepers of the check stand, were momentarily absent from the stand, the strong box was taken by some thief. The box contained about $50 in coin, $50 in checks and a large number of season Athletic tickets and reserved seat tickets for the Washburn game. These tickets will be useless to the plunderer, and the check stand will not have to stand good for them. Unless the thief is apprehended and the booty returned the managers of the stand will be responsible to the Athletic association for the stolen funds.
The theft of the athletic money brings to light other recent thefts. Some time ago about $300 worth of instruments were stolen from the civil engineering department.
Recently the Y. W. C. A. "mite box" in the rest room was rifled of its contents. The girls of the school had been putting their small coins into the box for some time and from $10 to $20 had accumulated when the box was taken.
No clues to the thieves have been uncovered. The authorities are at a complete loss to know who the criminal or criminals may be.
The La Enica boarding club will give a party in the little Fraternal Aid Hull this evening. Several Washburn students have been invited. Shanty's orchestra will furnish the music.
Dean and Mrs. Olin Templin went to Kansas City Friday afternoon to see "The Grand Army Man" and visit over Sunday with his brother.
Claude Clay,managing editor of the Kansan,went to Kansas City last night to see Ben Hur.
Misses Rillie and Lillie Bernhard, '07, are spending the week end at their home in town.
