TO PLAY INDIANS NEXT.
Kansas Expects to Make a Strong
Showing Against Haskell.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE all
absorb bling topic in football circles here
is the Kansas-Hasken game which is to
be played upon McCook field next Sat
urday. Both teams expect a hard game
and both are confident of victory. Cap
tain Vincent, of Kansas, said today that
Kansas would win the game after a
hard fight and these were the views of
nearly all the Kansas players and the
supporters of the team. The Indians
have not yet returned from Texas, but
they have expected to win from Kansas
all along. After the HaskeIl-Nebraska
game Captain Falls said that Kansas
would keep the Nebraskans down to a
lower score than did Haskell and the
result of the Kansas Nebraska game
will not be a great surprise to the red
men The showing of Kansas will, how
ever, tend to do away with any over
confidence in the Indian camp and cause
them to put forth a strong effort to
worst their pale-faced neighbors.
Coach Curtis put the Jaybawkers
through good, stiff workout on Nc
Cook field last night in spite of the fact
that a cold, driZzling mist fell through
out the day and made the conditions
anything but favorab BILE for work. There
is more grit and determination in the
Kansas team this year than there has
been for seasons, and to this element
is due much of the success that has
thus far been achieved. Curtis keeDs
his men hard at work. no matter what
conditions may arise to dfsa DDOint him
or the team. and several times it has
surmounted what appeared to be i'm
pasSable obstacles. 1t is largely to his
tact as a coach that the Jayhawkers pin
their faith in the Kansas team winning
from Haskell. The Jayhawkers are
much the lighter and are conceded to be
inferior to the redskins individually but
their attack is fast and they are playing
together in great form.
Reid was given a trial at left half in
the Nebraska game and made good in
every particular. He is fast and a good
ground gamer, bot. on end runs and
line bucks. He is also valuable factor
In the interference, and seems to supply
one of the missing links in the back
field. Mosher, at full, got into the inter-
ference in good shape at Nebraska, and
hold the position. The other half was
well looked after by Jenkinson and Yeo
Both played good game and are evenly
matched for the place.
JenkinsOn has the preference because of
having played more and being surer with
the leather. Peters. the ex-Manual player
from Kansas City, will be out Cor practice
again this week. Peters has been laid out
of play since the Wisconsin game. because
of an infected bruiSe upon his leg, but he
has recovered except that his leg is still
rather stiff, and it will require few days
for him to get in IrSt class condition
Peters played very fast game at tackle
before his injury and his return should
strengthen the line. although Etchen IS
playing good game III the Kansas City
ans old position
game which the Jayhawkers will play be-
fore the annual game with the Tigers at
Kansas City on Thanksgiving day. With
good luck the kansans expect to return
tered to them last Thanksgiving day, out
they are looking for a hard game.
