C. me WILL Be HOT
Tomorrow Paramount and
Cooper College Meet Here
ON PARAMOUNT GRIDIR0N
Teams are Evenly Matched
and Both are Eager

Tor5rrow afternoon on the Paramount
college campus the visiting football team
from Cooper college at Sterling win meet
the Paramount college eleven in the last
game Of the season in Wichita with the
exception Of Thanksgiving, for the Fair
mount team
The game is to be a good one The
Falrmount men have played a better
class of football than ever before in the
history Of that institution and they will
endeavor to show the visiting team that
Wichita has football team which can
and does play good football
The Paramount team, however, will
meet an eleven worthy Of their steel, for
Cooper college has ever had a football
team with a good record. It's teams have
produced football players, and as re-
suit some Of them are playing on eastern
college eIevens. one Of the most famous
players on the College of Pennsylvania
team Is AlcCracken, VINO for several years
was a strong man in the Cooper college
eleven.
Heretofore when the eleven from Sterl-
ing came to this city they usually went
away with the score on their side Of the
ledger. The Fairount men realize this
fact ana for the past week have been
having steady practices for the coming
game.
The method Of playing Of the Fair
mount football men has steadily improv-
ed under Coach Hess direction. The men
get together better on their line plays.
the game all around is a decided improve
ment over that played at the first Of the
season Some OF the men on the team
have promise of making splendid football
players and 10y the end of the season viii
have records which any college man
would be proud to carry.
In regard to the comparison between
the two teams for this season no esti-
mate can be made, for neither team has
played with the same teams, so that
comparison can be formed in that man
ner. However, judging from the two
teams of last season, Cooper would have
the better Of the argument in that re-
s0ect
The game tomorrow win be called at 2
O'clock and the cars viii be run from the
corner Of Douglas and Main every half
hour. The Paramount gridiron has been
enclosed and the spectators win have a
splendid opportunity of witnessing every
play of the two teams
( one feature in football playing which
has been developed by the Paramount
men to a good advantage is that Of the
kicking game. Lewis, the fuuback, is !
cons fdered a sure punter, and for this /
reason is often called upon to lift the /
bal down the field The game lin this /
respect Is eastern and has not been played /
before TO any great extent. although 4
other teams have resorted to punung /
under comDulsion.
Another feature which commends itself I
in the Paramount team is that the men 1
do not de1end on Individual playing as /
much as formerly. The entire team plays /
toge ,her and the mass plays have better /
results. The backs understand just what I
they should do and only for an occa-
sional tumble is there much criticism for
that source of play
C0aeh Hess was much pleased with the
work of his men during the past week, I
and yesterday said: 1.-THE men have
played better football at the daily prac-
season While do not know very much
about the Cooper college team. yet do
know that my men viii so into the con-
test in good condition and viii do every
thing possible to win.
"The back field has improved to a very
great extent since the first of the sea-
son. There Is not so much Individual
playing. and that is one thing that I have
Insisted on an through the past weeks.
Individual playing pleases the spectators.
bus for al that, the results are not what
we wish for.
.The line playing of the Fairmount
team is splendid The three men ia the
center are coming all right, and with a
little more work viii form wall which
VIII be hard TO break with men with
practically no experience the Fairmount
team has made a good record during the
past games. AN Of our games. with the

hopes that the men viii be in condition
