at this time. A few weeks ago Ottawa
was defeated by the State Normal
team by a score of 6 to 5. Ottawa.
however, lost through the poor work
of officials rather than poor playing
and a great many express the opinion
that had Ottawa been given fair
shake in the decisions the score would
have been l / to 6 in favor of the Bap-
lists. st. Mary's last Saturday won
from the teach ers by a score of 2 to
10, being more fortunate in kicking
goals from touchdown. This line Of
dope makes the odds on the game
pretty even. st. Mary's has lost but
two games this season. one to Kansas
and the other to Washburn. Ottawa
has played neither of these teams.
Ottawa lost to the Normal and the
Aggies, the latter one not playing the
Catholics.
The St Mary's team has been seen
in Topeka once this season. A week
ago last Saturday they played the
Washburn team and were defeated by
the score of AZ to 0. However. this
score shows st. Marys al disadvant-
age. The heavier weight of the WASH
burn team wore the Catholics out ana
the Catholics on the other hand, most
CT whom are young and light, were
suffering from a bad case or stage
fright which worked to their disad-
vantage. The game last Saturday with
the NofTnals showed cOncluSively that
the team has gotten together in team
work again and that they are in good
shape to make Ottawa play d AatH
game or lose.
The Catholics always play great ball
on their home ground and the only
games which they have lost this year
We're on foreign GROUNDS. Ccach Ssuis
ley is giving his men a good workout
this week and is trying to impress upon
his men the value of self-conf1dence ana
he is very confident that his men viii
play a fine game next Thursday IN
talking with a State Journal reporter
last night Coach Quigley said; All the
ST. Mary's men are in good shape ana
we believe that we will be able to play
a great game next Thursday. feel
more confident in the work OF the team
since last Saturday as the men got To-
gether and played great game not
Withstanding the hard contest agalnst
Washburn a week previous. don't
think that the men will suffer from
stage fright as they did on their for
them to play as good a game as they
do on the St. Mary's grounds look
for q hard game as Ottawa has good
team but if they win they will have to
play a good game.
The Ottawa team this year is coach
ed by Alpha Brummage who was the
captain of the Kansas university team
in 1903 when Weeks coached Kansas.
Brunmage has succeeded in getting to-
eether a good bunch of men and they
are now in the best of condition, not
having played a game for sometime
That their team is good one is shown
by the fact that Washburn called off
the game which was scheduled with
them for last Saturday rather than run /
the risk of some of the Blue getting
hurt as a result of the hard game
which would have resulted had the two
schools played.
The officials of the game have not yet
been definitely agreed upon but each
team has agreed to select three officials /
from a list of four men who have been !
agreed upon. Two umpires will be used
as provided under the new rules. The
men agreed upon from whom the Off /
Gals will be selected are: DR.. John H. /
head coach of the Washburn /
team: A. c. Coleman of the Lawrence !
Y. M. C. A: Dr. Shiras. of Ottawa. and |
Assistant Coach Cotton of Nebraska. 1t !
is evident from the list of men who are
available for officials that their work i
will be of the highest order.
