Captain CuIbersOn of the EmpOria col
lege football team.

Il believe the general sentiment of
our team, after playing both K. U. and
Washburn, is that K. u. has the best
of Wash burn, and ought to win the
game to be played in November, pro
vided the teams preserve their present
relative strength. K. U. has better
team work than Washburn, and
more aggressive line. The team work,
however, is the most noticeable diff
ference between K. U. and Washburn.
Indications are that the Lawrence men
will have splendid interference on
Offense as the season develops.
THE weak spot in the K. U. line is
the guards. If K. U. is beaten this
year, the opposing team will probably
hammer the center of its line to pieces.
Even the light guards of our team
were able to outplay the K. y.
guards
IN an interview sent out from Law
renee, Captain CuIbertson of Emporia
is quoted as saying:
kansas win certainly wallop Wash
burn. They beat US on fiukes last Sat
urday. Kansas won today by good
playing. The Topeka men will stand
no. show against the Kansas. team We
played. a better game today than we
did last Saturday
The opinion of the College of En-
poria players is worth much consider
alton. They have no reason to dIstorI
the facts, and they undoubtedly know
whereof they speak. 1t Will be relnefl-
bered that last year K. q. beat En-
poria by a score of to one Satur-
day. and the following Saturday,
Washburn beat EmDoria 10 to 0. After
the game with Washburn, several OF
the FrnDoria. men predicted that K. U.
would beat Washburn by a close score
and the result proved that they were
good prophets. Perhaps EmDorla
Judgment on the condition of the two
great Kansas rivals is equally good LOT
the present season.
At any rate, the game between En-
uoria and K. U. "Wednesday AFTERNOON
should afford food for thought to the
Washburn board of football strategy.
The time of actual play was exactly
the same as in the Washburn- ErnDorla
game. K. L. and WaShburn each
made seven tOuchdowns. K. u mace
four in the first half and three in the
second: Washburn made three IN the
fret and four in the second. In addl-
ton to the tOuchdowns K. u maze d
field goal. Washburn tried two field
goals, and missed both Thus far as
scoring is concerned, the games were
practically the same.
Apparently Washburn and K u are
about the same weight, and bOth
teams had no trouble in stopping EN-
poria on defense and making oIS
gains on offense. Reports from Law
renee would indicate that K. q. buck
ed the line more than Washburn; there
is no report of many long end runs
which characterized the Washpufn-
E,mDOTla game. w dSlDuIL anu L. -
are both strong at tackles, and are
breaking in new men for the center
positions.
There is this to be remembered
about Washburn's Lineup in the K. u
Washburn game; it will include Millice
and Caldwell in the backf1eld, nelther
of whom played in the Emporia game
