NOTES ON THE GAME.
JUST before the game commenced, a
bet of $3.50 to $50 was made on the side
lines by a couple of travelling men.
Washburn played the best football
but in the band contest. K U. had the
best of it. Their band is larger than
Washburn's and better trained
The 100 Elks who pledged SIS apiece
to Washburn's athletic fund in case OF
victory will now be permitted to dig.
WaShburn money was scared to death
by the heavy rain, and very few people
dared to take the 8 to 1 odds offered by
K. U. hackers. One or two members of
the Washburn team cleaned up neat
sums on their victory

1t will probably remain a mystery
whether or not Coach Kennedy really
thought Washburn would beat K. U.
Just before game started he said Wash
burn had no show.
Cooke, the K. u. halfback, who was
taken out of the game, was the only
man hurt, and he was disabled when
he started to play.
Washburn's next game is at Manhat-
tan Saturday with the State AgricuI-
tural college, of which G. o. Diez is
coach. Dietz umpired the Washburn-
K. U. game.
Coach Weeks burned his bridges be-

game, that the mud was of advantage

no objection to playing against the ne

Coach Kennedy announced to the
Washburn team after Saturdays game
that as reward for their victory he
would release them all from practice
Monday afternoon. This will give the
men a chance to rest up from their ex-
ertions and bruises. and keep them
from going stale from over practice
Besides, the football field is in such bad
shape that practice would have to be
held on the sod field, which is always
rather unsatisfactory
