Washburn and Paramount colleges
will meet for their annual football game
on Washburn field. at o'clock Saturday
afternoon. The Washburn people are
expecting a hard game; one of the hard
est of the season. Last year Washburn
defeated Fairnount by a score of 10 to
0 in what was probably the most exeit-
ing exhibition of football of the year.
This years game promises to be a rep
etitiOn of that struggle.
Paramount is q Congregational college
located at Wichita. 1t is to Wichita
what Washburn is to Topeka. Natural
~ the rivalry between the schools is in
tense. Only four years ago. F'airmQunt
was not considered a factor in the foot
ball field. It was playing against high
schools and academies. In 1902, how
ever, it organized a strong team, and
managed to get q game with K. u. 1t
held the university down to very small
score, and showed that 1t was playing
high class football. Since then, Fair
mount has steadily improved It's team
and has been unable to get game with
K U.
This game with Washburn is the one
toward which the Fairmount team IS
sspointed" during the whole season. 1t
wants to beat Washburn as pad as
Washburn wants to beat K. .. By
beating Washburn, it would establish
itself in the front rank of Kansas foot
ball, and would be able to get strong
er schedule of games.
Consequently in SATURDAYS game,
Paramount is coming up with great eX-
pectations A letter from the manager
to the Washburn manager says; we
are going to get you this year.
The best line on the game is furnished
by the recent game between Haskell and
Paramount Haskell beat Paramount ~
to 0. Oklahoma university beat Haskell
and Washburn beat Oklahoma. by TINS
sign Washburn should beat Paramount;
but Washburn is not overly confident OF
this outcome.
An old Dartmouth man named Bates
is coaching Paramount, and his brotheI
is one of the star players Ihe younger
Bates comes to Paramount from an
academy in Vermont, where he was cap
tain of the academy team last year lie
was considered such desirable man that
Dartmouth Brown ana otnei eases
colleges made a strong EFFORT TO land MN.
But he preferred to come to paramount
and help his brother make strong team;
He plays tackle in some games, but VIII
probably be at fullback in the W ashouFh
game. ,e,,- It'll,
/ Paramount had last year, IS not IN school
this year, and Washburn ought TO pe
glad of that But nearly an Ihe -,, oyile !,
star men who made Paramount such Z
powerful aggregation last year are again
WashbIrn has been practieing steadily
this week. Caldwell win not be able to
play on account of his fractured collar
bone White will be at halfback. and
either Robb, Etchings or Lockwood Will
play the end which White played IN the
Oklahoma game. Williams has a Dad
knee. and may be out of the game
This is the last game before the Sreat
struggle with Kansas on November II,
and the work Of the Washburn team viii
be watched with great interest. If the
n iz-c work is fast. and the deIeuSG
as strong as it was against Oklahoma
there will be reason to hope that Wash
burn can at least give the Lawrence
| aggregation a desperate struggle.
There was q big mass meeting OF " ASH
burn students this morning at the chapel,
Arranrements were made for another big
meeting on Saturday at 100 just before
| the game.
