WORSLEY CAN NOT PLAY
Old Washburn Quarterback Ruled Out
by the Faculty.

The Washburn faculty has ruled that
John Worsley. who played quarter
/ back in 1902, is not eligible for this
years team, and he will not be issued
any football equipment. 1t must be
admitted that Worsley hasn't applied
for any equipment yet. The reason the
Washburn faculty turns down Worsley
/ is because of his having participated
in baseball for pay in a small Kansas
town. 1t is very unfortunate that
Worsley got himself on the blacklist
1 in this manner. because he is I'M
dOubtedly one of the best QuarterbackS
WaShburn ever had. Washburn could
use a good quarterback just now.
Nearly the entire Washburn football
squad will go to Lawrence Thursday
to watch the game between K. u. and
the Haskell Indians. Washburn will
play both X L. and Haskell a little
later on, and the Washburn boys will
study the style of game which the
teams play.
Chick Cunningham, the big Wash
burn football player, has turned in his
suit and will not be seen in the game
again this year. Cunningham has
team, and played fullback in the game
against Emporia Saturday. He weighs
1S5, and was tackle on last years
never defeated team. Cunningham s
reason for quitting is the objection
which his family had to his playing,
and also to the fact that this is his
senior year in school.
To fill the position of fullback,
Coach Outland has shifted Williams
right tackle, to fulIback. and will play
PiersOn at right tackle Williams
showed in the Emporia game that he
has the stuff in him to make a ter
rife fullback. He is fast, and a hard
line plunger. He carries about $50
pounds Pierson is the new Indian
Territory man, and weighs 179. He is
about 20 pounds off weight, however.
and will probably pick up to about
100 before the end of the season.
In the game Saturday, Pierson and
Hill will play the tackles Sharp will
be held in reserve and will probably
play half the game in place of either
Hill or Person
Nash mas recovered from his in
Jur1eS sufficiently to be able to come
out for signal practice today. He will
probably be back in the game in the
course of a few weeks. Jim Stewart
is also out at work. and will play his
old position at quarterback at least
part of saturdays game with the State
Normal. Judge" Anderson, last years
quarterback. is expected to arrive to-
day, and will at once go into train
ing. He and Stahl will be used for
substitute quarters.
A new game has been added to the
Washburn schedule. Paramount col

This is Monday game. Paramount

by LindSborg Swedes by a score of

to be comparatively easy for Wash
burn.
