TWO HARD CONTESTS.

on Thursday night at 1880 o'clock.
sixteen members of the Washburn foot
ban team, headed by DR. John Out
land. the coach, and Manager w w.
Stahl. viii leave in a special tourist
Pullman over the Santa Fe for Colo
rado where on Saturday they will meet
the University of Colorado at Boulder
in what promises to be the last big
game of the season in the middle-west-
ern struggle for the championship.
After Saturday the relative merits of
Kansas university, Washburn Ne
braska, Colorado university, the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma and Arkansas univer-
sity win be settled.
The Sons Of Ichabod leave with their
minds made up to defeat. When Cap
tain Hin leads them upon the Boulder
Eridiron Saturday they win face a team
which outweighs them sixteen pounds
to the man.
They ought to beat US certainly"
said Coach Outland today. They out
weigh Us. They beat Kansas which
outweighed and beat us They gave
Nebraska stiff argument. But our
men viii go into the game to win it,
What they lack in weight they may
make up for in grit, ginger and speed
as they did last Saturday. We are not
licked yet"
sOf course I expect to be defeated"
said Manager Stahl today. "They ought
to do ft on their weight. But then
there may be a surprise hung up some
where. We will play, all right"
To ten the truth, 1t is the 1Ondest hope
Of the blue coaches and team to de
feat Colorado. They would rather make
the nnountaineers bite the dust now
after Kansas had to fail under them,
than anything else. And it viii be
different team that viii assan Colorado
than the one which went against the
crimson Saturday In this game the
freshmen are eligible, because Colorado
does not play under the Chicago con-
ference rules. The lineup will show
Platt at center in the place of Snat-
finger. and Bottle" Hope. who proved
a find In the Paramount game, at quar-
ter in the place of Tice. These Substi-
buttons, it is hoped viii eliminate, to
great extent, the disastrous fumbling
which characterized and lost the game
with x. u. last Saturday Munford
will play the guards, and Haughey and
White the ends. Captain Hill viii be
at his place at left tackle. The back
field viii find the regulars at the posi-
tions. Williams at full, and Caldwell
and AIillice at halves. Some little doubt
stiH exists as to Whether the -cr9ck
cOlored boy viii go along. He hpFE mis-
shoulder in the Paramount game and
promised his parents that if they al
lowed him to play in the Kansas game
that he would not play any more this
season. He came through the X u.
game in good shape without adding to
his injury
The team will go to Denver first
arriving there on Friday. On Friday
afternoon they will practice on the
grounds Of the Denver Athletic club
and go to Boulder on Saturday morn
ing. The team win not take any Off
Gals along. 1t was at first thought
that Ernest Quigley, Of St Marys,
would be used, but the ColOradoans
have turned him down. They want
officials from their own state. Wash
burn will insist that men outside of
Colorado serve, and suggest the name
of Westovers of Nebraska. The mat
ter may not be settled until Friday.
'sThey turned down Quigley," said
Manager Stahl today. "That is all
right. if they see it that way but we
must have square deal We are
playing with them under two
year agreement and the treatment
they accord US in Boulder on Satur-
day viii be given back to them when
they come here in 1906. That is
where we have them"
The high altitude is expected to
have its effect on the team. Tt usu-
ally does on all visiting teams and
gives the mountaineers a decided adj
vantage. eve will be handicapped by
that" said DR.. Outland today. There
is no way of overcoming it.
The sixteen men to be taken on the
trip have not all been settled upon yet.
except the team which viii start the
game. They will be decided upon at
the practice this afternoon. Only
signal work and "socker' football is
being INDUCED in, Dr.. Outland taking
no chances in injuring his men It
works UP their wind and that is
something they will need in Colo
Fado.
After Saturdays game the team viii
90 to Denver and remain there an
week to play Denver university in
Denver on November %. This game
viii probably be an easy victory.
The team will be home on Monday.
