Jenkinson, the old X Z. half back
and tackle, and Dietz, coach of the
State Agricultural college, will proba-
bly, eb the officials of the Washburn-
Lindsobrg game Saturday. Dietz Off
ciated in the K. U.-Washburn game,
and he certainly can't be accused of
any Partially for Washburn. He twice
penalized the home team 20 yards, and
a good many people thought that he
was doing his best to help K. U. get a
score. He is also the man who ruled
Caldwell and Fleishmann out of the
game. The Washburn management,
however, believes that Dietz is fair,
and his disposition to strictly enforce
rules is regarded with favor.
Washburn will begin secret practice
this afternoon. There will be no more
scrimmage work before the game Sat
urday. Coach Kennedy is devoting his
attention to the development of fast
work, and is drilling it into his men that
speed will be what will win, provided
the. field is in good shape. If there is
no rain the field will be in better con-
dftiOn than it has been this year. All
the humps" are being graded out
with hoes, and the ground is firm and
hard without being baked into a pave
ment.
Washburn to prepare for the Lindsborg
fake plays. This is the Swede's strong
point. They have won most of their
games this year by their lightning trick
work. and seem to have this department
of the game down to a fine point. TICK
plays are great winners when they
work well, but the team which uses
them also takes a long margin of risk
on a severe loss. IT is very much like
a bluff in a poker game. If the bluffer
gets called a few times he loses mis- am
bition. WaShburn expects to nip
Lindsborg's fake plays in their bud

best one of the season for spectators
