LEACH'S TALE OF WOE.
Nearly Every Member OF Team Is
Crippled, He Says

after today's game with Doane. Thu
hard Scrimmage work which th'
Washburn team has been getting the
past week has been telling on the
condition of the men, Here is the lis
OF injured and missing which Manager
Leach gave out today:
Captain John Dadisman, 'lerk badly
hurt in practice Friday, will probably
be out of the game today.
Platt, substitute tackle and guard
declared ineligible by the faculty be-
cause of back work in German
Amick, substitute tackle, quit school
Thursday and went home to accept
a position as school teacher at Stock
ton; also supposed to be going to get
married.
Haughey. fullback, badly sprained
wrist, cracked rib and malaria.
Brown, right guard, injured knee
Williams, right tackle, knee badly
bruised.
Anderson. quarterback and end.
knee hurt.
Nash. halfback, just recovering
from rib broken early in the season.
Thrailkill, ruptured muscle in leg,
otherwise known as Charley Horse -
condition, because they dropped out
of practice a couple of weeks.
In fact said Manager Leach in
concluding this catalogue of horrors,
there are only two men on the reg
ular first team who are in shape to
play in today's game, and they are
Hlsl and LOuthan.
Perhaps the gravity of the situation
is rather overestimated by Manager
Leach, but there is no doubt that the
team is playing in hard luck right
now The loss of Plat and Amick will
greatly weaken the second line of
defense" especially in view of the fact
that Capt. DadiSman sustained such
a serious injury in practice Friday
that substitute may be needed for
his place today. If Dadisman is out
have to play center.
In today'S game it is probable that
Plerson Will start in at halfback. but
he will probably not play through the
game. because of his injuries. Nash
will take his place during most of the
game.
Manager Leach returned Friday from
a trip as far south as Emporia and east
10 Kansas City advertising the K. u
Washburn football game. He found a
great deal of interest manifested all
along the line. The editor of one of the
papers at Usage City refused to print
anything about the game because he
didn't believe in football
At Lawrence, he found the people
confident that Lawrence would defeat
Washburn, and saying that in the game
burns strength, and allowed himself to
be beaten The Lawrence people expect
TO come to Topeka 1000 strong. They
viii have a special train in probably
two or three sections.
Next week Leach will put two men
out on the road distributing advertising
matter for the game, and getting no
tees published in the weekly newspa-
pers all along the line. The railroads
reaching Topeka have all made a rate
of 1 Is fare for the trip.

Coach Allen Of the Central team said
this morning: Our boys are in bad
shape for the game. Olin, half back,
has a. bad knee, Morley, guard, sprain-
ed his ankle and ]. Lewis. quarter, has
an injured wrist. None of these will be
able to play today. 1t weakens our team
considerably"
The Doane team is very light, and
ought to be easy picking for Washburn.
Captain Tidball said today that his
team would average between las and
$50 pounds, and by the looks of the men,
this estimate is probably not far Off
This would give Washburn an advan-
fage of about 20 pounds to the man on
weight.
Doane has played three games this
year. 1t beat Cotner university of Lin
coin by a score of 81 to 0; Yankton COL
lege by a score of SO to and was beat
en- by South Dakota university by a
score of % to o. These games rather
tend to indicate that Doane is not in
Washburn's class. ]. w. Fuhrer is
coach of the Doane team.
