WILL PLAY COLORADO.
Washburn Football Team to Meet
Mountain Men at Boulder.

A game has been arranged between
the Washburn college football team
and the team Of the University of Col
orado of Boulder to be played at Boul-
der on November 49,
The game has not been definitely set
tied inasmuch as it has not been rati-
fed by the faculty of Washburn col
lege. The faculty will meet tonight to
consider the matter and determine
whether or not permission will be given
for the team to make the trip which
will require the students being out OF
school for several days.
There is a possibility, too, that the
Thanksgiving day game this year will
be taken out of Topeka. Negotiations
are now pending to play the University
of Denver al Denver on that day. The
game will be scheduled if the schedule
of the Colorado colleges is arranged so
! as to give the University of Denver the
open date on Thanksgiving day.
The two games would require the
team being absent from Topeka at
least a. week and a half and it is not
known at this time whether the Wash
burn faculty will consent to the alb
sence from school of the players for so
long a time or not.
In event the University of Denver
game cannot be arranged either from
lack of permission by the Washburn
faculty or from conditions brought
about by the arrangement of the
schedules of the various Colorado col
leges, the Washburn team will return
home Immediately after the game at
Boulder on November 1S, and the
Thanksgiving game will be arranged
to be played here.
The Washburn football squad will
undoubtedly meet the team of the
Nebraska State university at Lincoln,
Neb., the coming season.
1t may be authoritatively stated
that there will be no game this sea-
son between Kansas university and
the University of Nebraska. In fact
it is generally understood that the
breach between the two universities
has become so wide that 1t is ex-
tremely unlikely that q game will be
arranged between the two schools I'M
til after all of the present players
have left school and their places are
filled by students who have not par
ticipated in the games over which
the feeling between the two schools
has been aroused.
1t is not likely that Nebraska will
play the Indians again this season,
and under those circumstances, Wash
burn will be the only Kansas school
which the Nebraska university team
will meet.
The schedules of the northern
and for that reason it cannot be an
nounced at this time when Wash
burn will play Nebraska.
The present plans contemplate the
coming to Topeka of the Nebraska
university team in 1906.
The Washburn- Missouri game will
undoubtedly be played in Topeka this
year on October %. Washburn has
made several trips to Missouri and it
is generally agreed to by the man
agement of both teams that the game
this year shall be played in Topeka.
K. L. will play Colorado university
9t Denver on the same day that Mis-
souri, comes to Topeka.
x. u. is attempting to force Wash
burn to play the game this season I'M
der the Chicago conference rules. The
evident motive is to weaken the WASH
bI rn team
This Topeka conference rules were
made principally at the instigation of
the u. u. athletic board, and the Off
GERS Of the conference were K u.
men The rules were made to gov
err the schools of the state of Kan
sas. but K. L. comes forward this year
with the argument that on account
of the fact that Washburn has taken
such q high rank in football matters
burn ar1 K. L. game this year should
be played under the Chicago confer
elire rules.
weaken the Washburn team. The Chi
cago and the Topeka conference rules
are similar, except that the Topeka
conference rules allow academy stu
dents to play on the team. K. U. has
burns players are students in the
academy
-Four of the best men of last years
Washburn team will not be in the
lineup this year. They are Caldwell,
Stewart, Anderson, and Dadisman.
Consequently to play the game un-
der Chicago conference rules, thereby
shutting out the men on the team who
are in the academy, the team will be
greatly weakened.

ability IN bringing UP all sorts OF
