Oct. 80.
Wearers of Blue Expect to Have
Strong Team.

Lawrence papers now refer to DR..
Bert Kennedy as Coach Kennedy of
the university" though as yet DR.. Ken
nedy has not signed a contract with the
university.
It is announced. that Kennedy in con-
ference with the board of athletic man
ayers has arranged the following foot
ball schedule for this falls university
team:
October Normal on McCook.
Oct. 6-HaskeIl on McCook.
Oct. 15-Colorado university at Nc
Cook.
Oct. 2s-Oklahoma university at Nor
man, Ok
oct. -washburn college at Topeka.
Nov. 5-Notre Dame college at Nc
Cook.
Nov. 12-washington university at St
Louis.
Nov 19-AgricuItural college at Man
haitian.
Nov. 24-Missouri at Kansas City.
There will also be two practice games
with Haskell before the season opens.
1t is to be observed that this is a full
schedule, no vacant dates being left.
This makes it impossible for K. u. to
meet the University of Nebraska this
year. The unfortunate dispute which
mas leu TO rupture OF aJlleIlc relations
with Nebraska is to be regretted, for
there is no reason why the University
of Kansas should not play as good foot
ball as Nebraska.
One of the Lawrence papers says:
Coach Kennedy has not signed the
contract yet, but the arrangem ents
have been satisfactorily arranged so
that Mr.. Kennedy has practically
charge of things now. He has written
to few of his friends among the boys
who Will be here next year, and after
the contract is drawn up will begin
correspondence with some more of
the boys There promises to be
good lineup of boys back next year.
and besides the regular players of last
year who will return there is prom
1sed some good material among those
of the high school boys who took part
IN the track meet here last spring.
Some of the winners of the sprints
were good football men"
Football at Washburn.
John H. Outland of Wichita, Wash
burns prospective football coach, will
be in Topeka within a few days to
confer with the WaShburn mana re-
ment about terms. It is regarded as
altogether probable that DR.. Outland

pie.
Had it not been for the opposition
of some of the players, it is likely that
Washburn would have hired BOSS"

This falls game between Washburn
and K. u, to be PLAYED in TopeL1a on
October %, promises to be one of the
most desperate encounters which ever
TOOK place on Kansas gridirOn K
u will come down here with a
stronger team than it had last wear
drilled in the same tactics that made
Washburn the winner in 1903. Wash
burn, for its part, also will have bet
ter material than it had last year, and
it rests with whoever is selected as
coach to make the most of it
Indications are that no less than nine

well, VINO did great work as a substitute
end last year. will also be back Jim
stewart, one of the greatest quarterbacks
that ever played IN the state, will play
next season, as he is now attending the
Washburn law school Robert Stewart
VINO played star game at end last year
may be back in the game but it is said
to be doubtful.
Several of the members of the football
team are putting in their time this sum
for work ahead and not be OBLIGED ia COR
~ such heavy work during the football
season.
OF course Washburn has its hooks out
Tor lot OF new material. It needs one
| big guard and one big tackle. It could
also use star end man and substitute
Tor the backheld. Manager Leach has
spotted 240-pound man for guard who
will probably be in school next year.
Coach Outland is also on the lookout for
material and is said to have several good
men in mind. With a little more beef IN
the center of the line and one first class
man for end, it is hard to see how the
Washburn line up could be very easily
improved upon. The principal thing is
to get a bunch of substitutes who are lust
about as good the first team men Last
years team played through the season
without injurtng a man, but this was
remarkable luck and is not likely to hap
pen again. Washburn must prepare It
