Nebraska and Kansas meet for the
first time in three years next SATURDAY.
afternoon on the Nebraska grounds IN
Lincoln. For several years Kansas and
Nebraska had met in annual games but
at the close of 1903 when the prospects
for the Cornhuskers looked very rosy
they refused to continue relations with
Kansas. Every year Kansas has tried
to get the Nebraska team to renew re-
latiOns but have been unsuccessful un-
til this year. Kansas lost the 1903 game
to Nebraska near the end of the game
when Johnny Bender got loose for a 90
yard run and a touchdown. A few years
ago the Nebraska team was supposed
to be much superior to the JayhaWkers1
but now that Bender and Benedict are
both gone the chances are that the
Kansans will have an even chance with
the C~ornhuskers.
Martin Delaney, of the Kansas City
Athletic club, is trying hard to schedule
a game with the Kansas university
team to be played after the end of the
season. Manager Iansdon OF Kansas
says that he is willing to play the
Athletics but that there is q clause in
the Kansas university football rules
which rules against post season games
However, the proposition Is UP to
Chancellor Strong of the university and
if his ruling is favorable h game viii
be played. Such a game would be an
interesting one as the Blue Diamonds
are now in the pink of condition and
have the fastest professional team in
the west.
Lawrence Banks, the old Washburn
/ end who played On-the famous 1909 team
is in Topeka today and will be a spec
tator at the game this afternoon. Banks
is one of the best ends that WaShbuTn
ever had and in his day was the great
| est punter in the west. He IS one of the
most loyal football men who was ever
in school and never passes up an op-
portunity to do anything he can to help
the school and the cam
Kansas has employed an assistant
coach in the person of Arthur St.-Leger
Mosse, an old Kansas player of about
seven years ago Mosse was one of the
best men who ever played on the kan
sas team and since his leaving Kansas
has coached at a number Of schools. For
two years previous to this season he has
been coaching at the Western Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. Several Kansas
men played on the team and he had
one of the best minor teams in the east.
The Kansas City Medics will be the
objects of the sincerest sympathy to-
night. This afternoon they viii play
the strong st. Louis team. The st.
Louis team put the Kansas team on
the bum last week by a score of "a to
2. The Medfcs are not considered in
the same class with Kansas so that the
score will probably be one of the big
gest of the season for the St. Louis
team.
Football interest in Emporia is CEN
tered on the approaching game between
the college and the normal teams which
axes place next Saturday afternoon.
Both teams are rivals and would rather
defeat the other team than to win from
any the team in the state. However
it has been a long time since the college
has been able to defeat the normal.
odds are alton the normal. Z
A new football conference which is
to be composed of the best teams in
