Washburn Mea Working Hard and In
Coed Condition.

GOau Condition.
Fhe Washh1Efn Football squad went
through their regular routine of work
at practice last night Nearly all the
men were out and a fast signal prac-
tice was h programme for the after
noon. The team will not have any
scrimmage work this week. There are
not any too many men on the team
DAY n the possibility of some of the
men getting injured in scrimmage is
responsible for the discontinuance of
this practice. All the practice is secret
but II Is not thought that the will
attempt anysneW plays on in
the game Saturday. The team has
plenty OF plays but what is needed
more than anything else, 1t is consid-
cred. is a better perfection in working
off the plays which have already been
will be sufficient to make consistent
gains on the K u. bunch.
Al-the men are in pretty good shape
considering therhard schedule which
has been played during h last few
weeks. BrethOur. however, has had a
backset in his throat trouble and 1t Is
not thought hat he will be able to go
into the game. This together with
Glark's absence from the game on ac-
count OF being ~disbarred by President
Nichols Of Manhattan, will cave two
bad holes in the center of the line to
be filled before the game Saturday.
Hoaglin and Munford, who worked at
the guard positions last Saturday in
the game against Paramount, Will prob
ably be selected by Oac Weede for
these positions. Plat and Johnston
will in all probability be used for the
tackles. Maxwell, who was used in
the Colorado game at tackle, Is a fast
man considering his weight, but will
probably not play on account of a
sprained shoulder. Haughey. who was
used in the Fairmount game at full
back. will be sent in at his old posi-
ton of left end. Haughey is one OF The
best ends in the state n is expected
to make things pretty serious for the
Kansas backs as they try to gain
around the ends. Robb, who has been
a substitute end during most of the
season, will be placed at right end. HIS
showing in the Paramount game was
of high order and Coach Weede and
Captain Williams are well pleased with
his work in that position.
In the event that BrethOur IS able to
play. which is not considered probable
at the present time, he and sMunford
will fill the tackle and guard positions
on the right side of the line and john
ston will play end. Hope viii play
quarterback and White and MilEce will
play the halves. White w2s given a
rest last Saturday and much is expect
ed of the little Swede next Saturday.
Williams. who has been under the
weather most of the season, will be put
in at full ad iti Is expected that he viii
be able to play II much better game
han at ANY pravsaus time this season.
Althouah thesKass team is consider
ed very strDrE, me Washburn men are
confident ii their ability to win and are
making greats preparations for that
event.
kansas university is conceded to
have a Iittlesedge on Washburn in the
kicking department of the game. which
amounts to d great deal under the
rules this year. In Forter they have q
good punter who will, however, md
Cohn, however. has a good deal over
any Of the Washburn team on account
of hfs effectiveness in place kicking
goRs.% Washburn, however. does not
think that Kansas will be j toHdo
much in the goal kicking department.
