  FEW SURPRISES IN MO. VALLEY GAMES Kansas Defeated Ottawa University, But Made Poor Showing. HASKELL INDIANS LOST Nebraska Ran Up a Big Score Against 3 Minor State College Team. HASKELL INDIANS LOST There were few surprises in Missouri, Valley football Saturday. In most instances the state university teams met minor opponents and won by fairly large scores. Kansas, how ever, was a possible exception. Against Ottawa University the Jayhawkers scored only II points. The first touchdown was made largely because OF ground gained on Ottawa’s penalties and the failure of the Baptist’s to complete the forward pass at time when it was badly needed. The second was questionable and awarded to Kansas after strong protest by Coach Dahlene. The renaming point came when Wilhelm kicked one goal out of two. Ottawa fought from the start, but lost ground on short punts, attempted forward passes and a weak line. The afternoon was warm and the men soon lost their ginger, allowing the game to lapse into an uninteresting struggle. The jayhawkers at tempted the forward pass half dozen times without success. Although Minnesota won from South Dakota by the score of II to 0, South Dakota’s defensive strength for the first half bewildered the Minnesotans, who expected an easy victory. The South Dakota line held the Minnesota team with surprising firmness, and McGovern was frequently forced to punt. Nebraska defeated the Peru Normal School &c to 0 in the opening game of the season. Forward passes proved very effective, about half of them being for long gains. Penalties were not numerous. The Central College of Fayette, Mo-, lost to the Missouri School of Mines by the score of 10 to 5. 1t was the first game of the season. The Miners will play Missouri here next Saturday. Drake University went down to defeat ct the hands of her old rival, Des Moines Baptist College, by a score of to 5. Des Moines made a kick from placement in the first quarter, and another in the fourth. Drake made touchdown in the second quar-. ter. The Kansas Agricultural College de. feated the Haskell Indian team by a score Of 80 to 0. A week ago the In. dams defeated the Kansas University team in a practice game by score OF ) to 0.
