WWW? LAUNCHBAUGH CULLEY HAZEN GARLAND STEIN MELSTBOM, Mgr. Stein at end and Aultom at half played Well in this game. Turning on the heat at the opening whistle and keeping it on until the final gun, the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes trounced the Baker Wildcats by a score of l3 to U, and cinched the Kansas Con- ference football crown for the second suc- cessive year. Continuing their reputation as homecoming-celebration-spoilers, and playing the most brilliant game of the year, the Coyotes gave the impression that they held the outcome of the game in their hands. The slightly muddy field little hampered the running attack of the Coyotes, as they consistently cut down the Baker line for big gains. Smith took the through-tackle route for the first score. Soon after, Van Cleef took a pass from a Baker back and struck out for the Wes- leyan goal line and making the thirty yards before anyone could touch him. Football fans saw Baer successfully keep the much touted Baker shovel pass out of sight, and saw fine play by Morgan and Miller. B. WALSH Sliding and slipping on a more than sticky gridiron, the two powerful elevens of Wesleyan and McPherson fought to a O to O standstill on Turkey Day, keeping Wesleyan's undefeated record still intact. Because of the poor footing, the deceptive line attack of Massey and Smith came to naught as did the Wide end sweeps of Morris and Warner. ln the line, Culley played a fine game, and Baer and Wooster kept the Canine attack Within safe bounds. Throughout the entire game the Coyotes outgained and outplayed the Bulldogs, and only several fine punts kept them from being scored upon.

GREENE WEST WORLEY WARNER AULTOM GEORGES remaining minutes saw the play of the Wesleyan substitutes continue along the same idea as the varsity, with Warner, Launchbaugh, and Greene beating Otta- wa back yards on each play, however they were not in the game long enough to score. Filling the air with passes, forward and lateral, hammering incessantly at the line, the Emporia Teachers shut out Kansas Wesleyan by a score of 27 to U. Crooms, a fleet colored halfback, and Fraley, a hard hitting fullback proved to be the combination that was the undoing of the Coyotes. Several times the Coyotes seemed to have the Emporia attack throttled, only to have a lateral flipped to Crooms for a nice gain. The Wesleyan offense was brilliant at times but spotty. A strong pair of Emporia tackles added to the already discomforting situation and held back all possible Coyote scoring SCROGGINS threats. The play of Smith, Baer, Morris and Wooster was particularly fine. Booting the pigskin just so between the uprights with true Worley precision, the fair-haired quarter, in the closing min- utes of the game, put the finishing touches on a tight contest with the College of Emporia, enabling Wesleyan to win 9 to 7. The only other Coyote score was brought about on the opening kickoff by Morris, who behind marvelous blocking, sped 92 yards untouched by human hands for the opening touchdown. The game was marked by the return of Swift to the grid wars after being out several games with an injury. Though the entire forward wall played well, Blair, Van Cleef and Baer showed above the rest, knifing the line and stopping plays on the line of scrimmage. This was the second suc- cessive year that Wesleyan has humbled C. of E. before a Homecoming crowd, Page Twenty-Six
