Coach Weede Of the Washburn foot
ball squad gave his men their first
hard work in preparation for the COM
ing game with Kansas university next
Saturday, yesterday afternoon. The
practice was held behind closed gates
and commenced at 3 o'clock which is
one hour earlier than usual. The rae
tice all the week VIII be secret and no
zone will be admitted but the men on
the squad and Others who are connect
ed with the Washburn athletic inter
ests- Coach Weede was chosen as
referee for the football game at Man
haitian yesterday afternoon DetWeeu
the Aggies and Paramount but at the
last moment decided not to go thinking
that his services would be more in de-
mand on the field with his men than
officiating at another game.
The defeat by Paramount last Satur-
day is not taken very seriously. Wash
burn feels that they were robbed Of he
game by having a safety called when
the play was purely a touchdown and
again by having Softer push the ball
over for a touchdown after the ball was
declared dOWn by him. WaSffBurn had
five substitutes in the game and even
then made ton first downs While Fair
mount was making only four. On the
face of toe facts it is very doubtful
whether Fairmount al induce anybody
outside Of Wichita to believe that their
team is in any way superior to Wash
burn.

Che game Saturday. White was not
used Saturday as the Kansas game was
deemed more important and 1t was
feared that he would be injured for
game against Paramount. He went in
during the last minutes of play but
this did not hurt him any BrethOur
who was suffering with tonsilitis last
Smiley is much better and Captain
Williams expects r6o 4be in shape TO play
the game Of his life Saturday. MIlice,
who it was feared would not be able to
play in the Kansas game was out last
night Platt went home to Vote yester-
day as did Munford. Platt goes to Ov-
erbrook and will be back in time to
practice with the team tonight. "Pleter'
was the star Of the game last Saturday
and he Is being relied upon for q good
part Of the ground-gaining next Satur-
day. Munford goes clear out to Jet
more In the western part Of the state
and will not be back until Wednesday.
Clark has been declared ineligible on
account of scholarship by President
Nichols of K. s.. A c., who was the ar
bitter in his case.
It is not yet known how Washburn
Will line up in the game Saturday but
it is reported on reliable authority that
Williams will resume his place behind
the line The shift in the lineup last Sat=
urday did not work quite as well as ex-
pected as the men were not used to their
new positions.

ingly defeated last Saturday by st. Louis
university are still somewhat stiff and
sore from the effects of the game but it
is thought that by the end of the week
III the men will be in good shape. Coach
Kennedy is working his men out on Nc
Cook field ehind closed gates. He Is
~cOnhden that he Will be able to defeat
Washburn for the third time during his
stay in Lawrence. However, the Jay
hawkers, while the statements which are
sent out from Lawrence Indicate that
Kansas will nave a walkaWay, are work
ing harder than they have at any previous
time this season They realize what a
game with Washburn is and expect to
have to work hard to win.
The seats have been on sale at STAINS
fields since Saturday morning and early
this morning nearly all of the best seats
had been taken Kansas will have seats
reserved for about two thousand. All the
games which the JayhaWkers play dur
Ing the rest of the season are away from
home and Saturdays game Will be the
last one which the Lawrence people will
be able to witness and they viii be here
IN large numbers for the game. During
the week seats for the game win be sold
in Lawrence.
There are plenty of hackers for the
Washburn team in Topeka who are will
Ing to wager a good deal on the blue next
Saturday. The Topeka Elks have conf
dence in the team and expect to see the
