One Of the best football games Kan
sae people viii have a. chance to see
THIS year viii be the game between
TVashburE college Of Topeka. and the
strong team Of the University Of Colo
RADIO of Boulder. Colorado. This game
VIII be played in Topeka two weeks
from TO-DAY. which VIII be on October
20tiE T1is VIA be the first time IN
the history OF sVYashb0rn that team
fretR Colorado has played tina sons Of
6ehabgd on Kansas soH. Washburn
has made- three trips to the mountains.
II 1883. when Paul Coldrsn was coach
OF TIA blne. d trip was made to the
Rockies in which tile gVashburn team
Won from two Of the skreng profess
siOnal teams IN that state. IN 1900
theyzzWsat to Colorado and broke even
IN two games which were played there.
They, however, did not play the Uni
verstty team. until last year, when the
mOuntaineers won from Washburn by
q score OF 80 to 8.
WashbUrn was handicapped BY the
nigh altitude and the rock field on
which the game was played. After the
mountain men had run up 2 score Of
% points the Washburm team went
through the line and around the ends
for a. distance OF eighty-fiYe yards and
a touchdown. The kicking OF Galley,
The great half-back of the Colorado
teams was largely responsible for the
defeat Of Washburn, as he would send
the bali over the goal posts on every
kickOh.
IT Is not thought that the Colorado
team viii be able to play as good
game this year as they. were last year.
Ihe team OF last year. conferred around
the work Of VIII Galley the fast half
back. The team played a fast game
and their work was mostly in the open.
Altnough tney worked many mass
plays, they relied on the fast backfield
TO make most Of the gains of the team.
Galley was probably the fastest man
who ever played on q western back
field and every play which the noun
tatnaerss worked for ground gains
hinged upon him. He was very fast
on ms feet and was hard to tackle, and
when given the ball he would make a
gain of from Ave to twenty-five yards.
his work on Interference was of gilt
edged order and he would invariably
open a way for his teammates to make
gains.
This year the Colorado team viii
have to seek some other form of play.
Galley is no longer a member OF the
squad He has been barred from the
game for this season by failure to make
good in his studies and is therefore in
eligible. This viii remove the MAIN
spring from the moyeIne nt of the team.
Other of the strong men of last years
team will not be able to play. Ogden,
one of the stars on last years team,
has left school and viii not be in the
game this year. He was not in the
game regularly but was a promising
man for half this year. His absence
from the game leaves a hard place to
ill. Moore, the star left half Of last
year, viii not be IN the game this year.
He Is In school, but on account Of par
entail objections, VIII not be in the
game. Win Trudian, last years quar-
terback. and Ray Roberts, the full
hack Of last years team, will be the
only old men in the ebackheids
The two men=wf1o will be picked for
the backheld positions, to- take the
place OF Galley aud Moore will in all
probability be Knowles and Thomas,
who are light men but very fast on
their feet. Christianson is a good man.
but Is now out of the game on account
OF injuries 1t is likely that there will
be two set Of backheld men. Hayt and
Brewster are bidding for these posi-
tons.
The only game that the Colorado
team has played this year was the
game which occurred last Saturday be-
tween the Varsity squad and the
Alumni. The game resulted in a stand
stiIl. to o being the score. The grad

The result OF this game was not very
encouraging to the supporters of Colo

CasCeman has not as yet devoted much
attention toward developing team work
but has spent nearly all the time in
aequainting the team with the new
rules. The team has as yet developed

In all their gains last Saturday the
gains were made by individual work

defense of the team leaked badly.
Gains were made by the grads through

Colorado university and Denver uni

chances this year. The Colorado boys
