John Outland, coach of the Washburn
team, to a mass meeting of 500 Wash
burn students Friday night
1t will be a fierce game today on
washburn athletic field; the greatest
in the history of the school. 1t begins
at 3 o'clock.
Washburn is "up on edge"-every
player on the team is thirsting for the
battle. The team will go into the
game in good physical condition. The
only man who is likely to suffer from
old injuries is Haughey, the fullback-
Haughey has a very weak knee
Here is a tip, given out today by
man who knows: ''Washburn will
find that K. u. has a well defined plan
of campaign for today's game. In the
first half it will simply play to hold
Washburn. and wear it out In the
second half, it will put in q new back
field, and expects to crush Washburn
and win the game. K. U expects 10
save its best halfbacks and fulloack
for the second half
This is Il mighty good scheme 1t
may work. If reports are to be pc
Iieved, the Washburn people nave just
reversed this programme. Iney IN
worth, and win the game In the hrsI
half if possible
