The third quarter opened with Westminster on the offense and they used the forward pass occasionally to great advantage, breaking up the passes of Central repeatedly. When they had the ball on the 20-yard line, Westminster was held until the fourth down without gain and then Hamilton made a pass to Browning. The ball seemed to be way over the little quarterback's head, but he jumped high in the air and caught it in his hands and went the remaining five yards for a touch-down. This was the prettiest play of the afternoon for the Blue Jays.

Westminster again hurried the ball down the field and when within ten yards of goal they were held for one yard gain on the fourth down; Hamilton passed directly over the line to Jackson for a touchdown. Hamilton kicked goal, making it 19 to 3. Central had the advantage of the argument for the rest of this quarter and by using a line and back field shift play took the ball across the goal for a touchdown. This time kicking goal made the score 19 to 16. They took the ball to the ten yard line but the Blue Jays held and punted. This was repeated twice and then Westminster opened up with hard line smashes and end runs and took the ball to the other 10-yard line where they lost it. Central immediately kicked and it was so dark that Referee Grover could not see the ball when it hit the ground. The umpire said that Hamilton touched the ball, though this seems to be an error, and Central recovered the ball on the 10-yard line. It certainly looked bad for Westminster, when with the ball that close and it so dark that you could not tell who had the ball. Here the Blue Jays showed the true spirit and held firmly. Westminster fumbled on the second play and Central again had the ball on the fifteen-yard line with four tries at ten yards. They made their first ten yards in four downs by six inches but the last five-yard was too much for them in four downs and Westminster received the ball. Westminster made their last exhibition of nerve in this few minutes. With the ball on their 3-yard line instead of kicking they rushed the line, ran around the ends and took the ball up the field to the 25-yard line when time was called. It was too dark and the score too close to attempt any play that might give Central a chance for a trick and a score. The final score

was 19 to 16.

Hamilton was his usual self in gaining ground, which is saying all that is necessary. This was his last game of foot ball and it will be a pleasure to him to remember the winning of this game. He also made some excellent forward passes.

Browning did nicely at quarter. Catching punts every time they came to him and making a touchdown on a forward pass. Jackson and McCampbell at ends were in at the game at all times. They handled the forward passes nicely and made quite a showing by their excellent work throughout.

McAllister played a fine game at tackle, showing lots of knowledge of foot ball and kept the opposition guessing all the time. He was complimented by several foot ball experts who saw the game.

Crawford, Harrison, Engelhardt and Welch played at guards and did well. Central's guards played a little closer together than most of the teams that the Blue Jays have met and it gave the men something new to figure out.

"I consider Whitlow in the same class of centers as Wilson of the Missouri Tigers, and Whitlow has the advantage of 30 pounds," said Captain Lemire. Whitlow was forced to leave the game in the last quarter, due mostly to his own driving tackling and hard work, Harry Vaughan taking his place. It was a critical moment when the change was made as the ball was on the 10-yard line and Central had four tries at goal. But Vaughan proved equal to the occasion and helped the Blue Jays to withstand their onrush and held them for downs.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE FOOT BALL TEAM.

A great part of the success of the foot ball team this year has been due to the persevering efforts of Mr. Robert M. Hamilton, captain. Mr. Hamilton has been here two years and a half, having come originally from Soldan High School in St. Louis. Since his entrance into Westminster College he has made an enviable record as half back, and his playing this year has surpassed, if possible, that of last season. Added to this, his personal characteristics make him. generally liked by all and have been one of the foremost factors in the

building up of a successful team. Although we sincerely regret "Bob" could not have captained a championship team, we feel assured that the fault was not his, and wish to extend our heartiest congratulations for the success he has won and the services he has rendered to the college.

A short time ago Mr. W. B. Steele was elected captain of the base ball team for the coming spring. Mr. F. P. Miller, who was elected to that position at the close of last year, was not able to return to college this year.

Westminster has two men on the All-Missouri foot-ball team this year: Duff, tackle, and Hamilton, half-back. On the second team are: Black, full-back; McCampbell, end, and McAllister, tackle.

On the evening of November 2 the roomers and boarders at Reunion Hall gave an informal reception in honor of the young ladies of Synodical College and of Fulton. The large dining room, which was used for the occasion, had been decorated with forest leaves and lighted jack-o'-lanterns. By way of entertainment a track meet was held, the Dormites present taking part; and the different events-such as the standing broad grin, the hundred yard "chew," and the relay "whistle"-were very thrilling. Afterwards typical autumn refreshments were served, consisting of apples, cider and gingerbread. The students present enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and the next day many a roomer in town announced his intention of moving out to the dormitory.

WILLIAM WOODS BASKET BALL GAMES.

On November 16, 23 and 27 double-headed basket ball games at William Woods attracted large numbers of Westminster students. On the 16th the Juniors won from the Seniors and the Freshmen outscored the Sophomores. On the 23rd the Seniors ran up a big score against the Sophomores while the Freshmen won slightly over the Juniors. The games on the 27th ended with a top-heavy score for the Seniors over the Freshmen and a victory for the Juniors in their conflict with the Sophomores. Many of the Blue Jays wore one color and stuck to it, but quite a number wore every color and came out strong for the winners whoever they might be. Some say that a basket ball game is much better than a reception for chaffer but others think there is room for argument. We presume that the games were a success in every way and the common question is, "When is the next one?"

KANSAS CITY EXCURSION.

After much stir and flurry a goodly number of Blue Jays decided to take advantage of the extremely low rate excursion to Kansas City on November 9, the day of the Westminster-William Jewell foot ball game. The train left early Saturday morning, the ninth, and arrived in Kansas City about 11:00 o'clcok. Quite a lot of yelling and singing was done on the platform of the last car as we went. The game was called about 3:00 o'clock. The cheering and rooting which lasted for two hours, almost without intermission, was very good indeed. Westminster with seventyfive rooters kept things just as lively as did William Jewell with two hundred. The presence of William Jewell's band added much as an entertainment. The return trip began about 8:30 and proved lively and tiresome by turns. Though we had been defeated and the State Championship was lost, we knew we had been beaten fairly and the relief of "having it over" was evident.

FAYETTE EXCURSION.

After winning the Missouri Wesleyan game Westminster rooters began to turn their attention to the last game of the seasonthe Central game at Fayette. For a while enthusiasm was lax but continual agitation and a few spirited student body meetings brought the Beat Central slogan into unusual prominence. On Tuesday, November 26, at a meeting after chapel the students bought enough tickets to insure an excursion train on the Chicago and Alton to Higbee, on the day of the game. That evening a meeting was held at the court house and almost the entire student body listened to the spirited remarks of such men as Judge Tincher, Coach Ristine, Captain Lemire, President Garvin and others. It was no wonder then that a large crowd of students and Fulton people was found at the depot Thanksgiving morning, bound for Fayette. Shortly after 10:00 the train left but in such a crowded condition that an extra car was added at Mexico. After several delays Higbee was reached where the excursion train was left and a rush was made for the waiting "Katy" train. Upon the latter were a number of Westminster rooters. Fayette was finally reached about 3:00 o'clock. There Central's band and a large number of Central students met us and at once directed us to the field. Central's band lead, and Central students followed, Westminster's and Fulton's band came
