Missouri Tigers Defeat Drake 6 TO 0. 6 to 0. Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 29.-The Missouri Tigers won today’s football game on Rollins Field from Drake University. The f. nal score was, Missouri 6; Drake 0. Missouri took the advantage at the beginning of the game. Chuck Lewis, instead of run ming back the kickoff, punted. Kenshaw, who was onside, when the ball was kicked, recovered the ball and ran for a touch down. Lewis failed to kick goal. The Tigers pressed their adj vantage and pushed the ball in to Drake territory. A few min utes later Lewis tried a drop kick, but failed. In the second quarter, play was renewed in Drake territory. A blocked kick gave the Missouri, team the ball on tn e Drake 5-yard line. A Tiger tumble, however, gave Drake the chance to kick to safety. The half ended without further scoring. AT the opening of the third quarter, Missouri received the kickoff and carried the bah steadily down the field, making three first downs in succession. Drake finally intercepted a Tt ger pass on the Drake 10-yard line. After Drake had kicked cut of danger, the Iowans made a squirt. Two first downs were made in succession then a Drake forward pass was fun bled and Hill recovered for Missouri, in the middle of the field. Near the close Of the third quarter, both teams resorted to forward passes, both making some gains. The quarter ended just after Drake had punted out of bounds on Missouri’s 1S-yard line. In the fourth quarter Chuck Lewis kicked into Drake terri tory. Drake made several gains until Humes and Bunker together intercepted a forward pass on the Missouri 30-yard line. The play then zigzagged back and forth from one end of the field to the other. A Drake forward pass Melted so yards. Drake tried desperately to score in the last few minutes of the game. Three passes, thrown in rapid succession, were not completed. Further attempts to score on forward passes failed and the game ended, giving the victory to Missouri.
