RED MEN HERE.
They Expect an Easy Victory
Over Washburn.
X. U. Team Is Here to See the
Game.
BILLY RICE GETS HOME
Question About Swift Halfback
Being I'm the Game.
Some Betting ON Sons Of IchabOd
Scoring.

Haskell's big braves arrived in town
this morning with their football
clothes and red blankets, and are
quartered at the National wigwan.
Aside from the team, only a few Has
kell students came to see the game.
Coach Kennedy and all but one or
two members Of the K. U. football
squad are also in town for the game.
When asked for his opinion as to the
outcome of the game, Kennedy said:
ooh, I don't know; it's going to be
a good game. 1t depends a good deal
on the condition of the two teams,
think
Coach Herrnstein, of Haskell. says:
''All we want to do is just win
against Washburn. We have the Car
Isle game coming and I would rather
lose to Washburn than to Carlisle. 1
have told all of the men not to play
hard and to exert themselves barely
enough to win. We don't want any
big score and would not run it up if
we could. I expect hard game with
conditions as they are and know that
Washburn will work to win like it has
never worked before
William Rice, the Washburn half
back, also arrived in town this morn
ing. The trial at Oskaloosa in which
he was the complaining witness did
not end until $3.50 Friday afternoon,
and the jury was out until 10 o'clock
this morning, when it was discharged
without reaching a verdict.
There is said to be some sentiment
among the Washburn football people
that Rice should not be allowed to
play today, on the ground that by so
doing he would cut off his football
career by one whole year. The play
ers are not allowed to be in the game
for more than six years. Rice has had
one year, and if he plays today it will
make two. If he is kept out of the
game today he will have five years
more of football at Washburn instead
of only four more years; Coach Out
ing to play, he will be put into the
game.
The following lineup for the game
is given out by Coach Outland OF
Washburn and Coach Herrnstein of
Haskell:
Washburn-Haughey left end; Hill.
left tackle; Sharpe, left guard; Brown,
center; Louthan. right guard vii
end; Stewart, quarter; Caldwell left
half; Rice, right half; Dadisman, full
back.
ser, left tackle; Warren, left guard;
Felix, center; Payer, right guard; Du-
bois, right tackle; P. Hauser, right
end; Falls and Moore, quarter; Gokey,
A
Porter, fullback:
Haskell's substitutes are Aiken,
Shoulder Blade, Mckay and La Motto.
Referee Connect, of Vanderbilt uni
Lieut.. Cosad, of Fort Riley, is also
here to umpire. Capt. Council, of
Fort Leavenworth, was unable to
come, and Coach Outland and Coach
Herrnstein this morning agreed to
themselves act as linemen.
The day is perfect one for foot
ball, and there will undoubtedly be a
big attendance at the game, which be
gins at O'Clock. The Topeka Elks
expect to take in the game in the
body, and will root for Washburn,
while at the same time they advertise
their minstrel show.
There was quite a good deal of bet
ting this morning around the Ma
tional hotel the favorite bet being that
Washburn would score. Considerable
Topeka money was posted on this
proposition, especially after it became
known that Rice had returned to
town, and would be in the game. The
Haskell Indian players seemed to have
a good deal of the long green about
to gamble on their chances of victory.
But the odds demanded on this sort of
a proposition were prohibitive.
1t is generally believed that Wash
burn has a chance to win, but that this
chance is not big enough to justify
much speculation.
Coach Herrnstein of Haskell is a
big man, and looks a good deal like
Pete Allen, the old K. U. player
Herrnstein was formerly with the
University of Michigan team. When
asked in regard to the Haskell-Carlisle
game, Coach Herrnstein said:
ct believe the game will be played.
We have assurances that Carlisle will
come, and while of course there may
be slip somewhere, we believe that
we will get together at St LOUIS
1t is probable that if Haskell and
Carlisle play at st. Louis, Coach Out
land of Washburn will be one of the
officials.
Connect, the Vanderbilt university
man who is to referee today, is said
to be one of the best officials in the
business. He officiates at all the Mis-
souri, university games, and his work
there in the Missouri-Washburn game
was entirely satisfactory to Wash burn.
Manager Leach of Washburn consid-
ers that the two officials today will be
entirely satisfactory to both teams.
The high wind today will give the
team having the south goal consider
able advantage on punts. If Wash
burn wins the toss and gets the south
goal, it may be sufficient advantage
to keep Haskell from scoring during
the half.
