OFF FOR DENVER.
Washburn Football Team Starts
on Western Trip.

The Washburn football team left this
morning over the Santa Fe for Denver
at IL 40 o'clock to meet the Denver Ath-
letic club team on Saturday.
Manager Rollo Parvin of the d. A. G.
team has handled all arrangements for
the game to suit himself and has given
the Washburn team the that or moth
ing" choice Arrangements were made
for the Topeka team to carry Is men
to Denver. That would allow the regu-
lar team four substitutes, the coach,
manager and an official. The D. A c.
manager agreed to that. Last night he
telegraphed Manager Huron of the
Washburn team that only II tickets
would be furnished as the Denverites
would not live I'D to their agreement
and allow Washburn to take an official
from here. Manager Huron telegraphed
Parvin that the Washburn team would
not go to Denver unless they took an
official with them and ParVin replied
pleased but that he would send only
II tickets. Washburn lost the game to
D. A. c. year ago on account of the
unfairness of the rulings of the two
Denver officials and the wearers of the
blue know that this year their chances
of winning are meager enough without
having the official against them. The
result was that Manager Huron was
forced to leave a substitute behind, TAX
ing only three extra men, in order that
he could take Hutchins to act as WASH
burns official AS Washburn receives
no share of the receipts of the game it
would seem that if Denver intends to be
fair, the Topeka team could readily
have been allowed IT men.
The team which Coach Banks and
Captain Gill chose for the trip was as
follows: Richie, center; Dadisman,
right guard. Cunningham, right tackle;
Cave, right end; Steel, left guard; Max
well, left tackle; G. Anderson. left end;
Worsley quarterback; Mehl, left half;
P, Anderson. right half; Gill, fullback;
Moss, Thompson and Ashbaugh, substi-
tutes.
The Washburn team plays D. A. c.
Saturday, the Denver Wheel club Tues
day and the Bethany college team at
Lindsborg on the way home. The trip
will cover ten days.
