closely contested battle; & battle Tor su-
premaoy IN football championship be-
tween the respective athletes Of these
two educational institutions. These
teams met fer the first time in 1sss on
the Paramount gridiron where the Friends
proved themselves superior. winning the
game by a score Of . to 0.
The game on Thursday viii be played
on the athletic field Of thes Friends Uni
versity. The students Of that school
have just enclosed their field with high
board fence. AT least two or three
thousand spectators viii probably wit
ness the excitement.
AS 70 the relative merits Of the two
teams it is impossible TO make any COM
parisOn Both sides are confidently
claiming the victory. The Friends play
ers have beeen quietly preparing several
surprises N connection with their regu-
lar practice by which they expect to
overwhelm their opponents; moreover
they are especially powerful in hitting
the line and viii do some very swift end
running. In the backs the Friends team
doubtless has the advantage in swift
ness and these are expected to do some
very rapid work. In Stout and Williams
the Friends have had excellent trainers
The Paramount team will perhaps have
a slight advantage in the rush line: their
line is solid. but is somewhat slow IN
starting. The Paramount backs have also
developed excellent form, some, however
lack in swiftness; yet Campbell Is a
speedy man Idghtner is always sure az
quarter; Lewis never fails at a punt' and
for hne-bucking or all around work Fos-
ter is hard to beat For ten weeks
Coach Hess has been training these men
and has secured praisewOrthy results.
When the teams are compared in re-
spect to results achieved during the sea-
son comparison again fails because with
one exception they have not PLAYED the
the same teams; it is true that both
played the High school but that was
early in the season and IS no criterion.
The Fafrmounters have played a full
series and have had splendid success;
they have really lost to but one team
State Agricultural cOllege-and that by
the narrow margin of 3 70 6. In this
respect they appear TO have the advan-
in excellent form in their last game
they played the Alva boys to a stand
still and in their big game with Nicker-
son they lost because at critical time
one Of their best men was disabled. Both
teams are still hard at work putting on
finishing touches and preparing for the
last great effort OF the season. The
teams of the two colleges did not meet
last year when Paramount was perhaps
the superior; thus the meeting tomorrow
win have all the more interest both to
spectator and partisan.
It is rather interesting TO note the gen
eraI makeup Of the two teams; The
Paramount boys are Kansans, with the
exception OF Ted Kirk, the big right
guard, who IS a Buckeye ana Roy Smith
an Oklahornan from Newlirk. When II

collegiate department.; Camp0ell and
Charles Isely being Juniors; Lewis a So
phomore: IAghtner, Smith, Ross and
James Lsely ara Freshmen, Jordan, Her
rick, Davis and Kirk are ranked in the
preparatory departments.

not been settled In every detail. Jordan,
who played center last year, has contin-
Ued in the same position. OF the Isely
brothers, Charles, who played right
tackle last year now PLAYS end; while
James who began as a sub this season

September. Herrick, left tackle, has had
several years experience playing back

ter; while Foster. Campbell AID lewis,
