WASHBURN STALE
Players Given a Rest After
Tussle With Aggies.
Did Not Get Out for Practice
Yesterday Afternoon.
WEEDE is HOPEFUL.
Thinks His Hen viii Account
for Themselves With X. U.
A Victory Over FairmOunt on
Saturday Is Looked For.

There was no football practice last
night at Washburn. The football
game on Saturday proved a tough
proposition for the Washburn players
and they took a needed rest. The
schedule which has been played so
far has been a hard one and the games
have come in a little too close proxi-
nifty to keep the men in the best con-
dition. Most of the best men on the
squad did not play the game Saturday
that they played q week or two ago.
The general verdict is that they have
been overturned for the many games
which have been played.
1t is somewhat of a wonder that the
men have kept in as good shape as
they have. For several weeks now
the team has been playing two games
a week, which is too much for any
the number OF games is concerned is
over. However, there are several
hard games ahead yet There are
five games remaining on the schedule.
All but one of these are on the home
grounds. Paramount will play here
next Saturday and Kansas university,
ST. Marys and Ottawa follow in the
order named each week. On Thanks
giving day the team will play the Uni
versity of Oklahoma at oklahoma
City
Practice viii be resumed tonight
and the team viii be started on hard
practice work in preparation for the
Kansas game a week from Saturday
which as usual viii be the hardest
game on the schedule. The men will
be worked hard for this game and the
team viii present much better form
for the game than for any other on
the schedule. At the present time 1t
is generally supposed that Kansas has
but the most conservative football
men say that Washburn in the best
form of which she is capable of pre-
senting will make good match for
Kansas. Coach Weede himself says,
! 81 believe that Kansas up to date has
the stronger team but I think that
with the training the Washburn team
will have by the time of the game we
will give Kansas an awfully interesting
game and we viii have good fighting
chance of winning"
The game with Paramount next Sat
urday viii be a good game. Accord
ing to the dope on this team they viii
give Washburn a run for her money.
Paramount played the State Normal
team a week ago Saturday and de-
feated that team by a score of to 4.
/ The Normal will be remembered as
| the team that held Washburn to a
/ score of to % a few weeks ago.
I Coach Weede yesterday afternoon re-
/ marked, Il expect fully as hard a
I game from Paramount as we had with
4 the Aggies last Saturday. We will
( however, be in better shape for the
game and I think that we Will win
/ we will be content with a small score
and hope to keep our goal line un-
/ crossed. We could make things pretty
/ blue for Paramount but our men must
be kept in shape for the Kansas game.
Two years ago the Paramount team
held Washburn to a score of 10 to o.
They reached the Washburn five yard
line and had but a yard to go on the
third down when Washburn took
wonderful brace and held. Last year
they scored on Washburn on muddy
field Washburn, however, won by d
score of 10 to g.
While the game saturday was a
very hard one none of the Washburn
SQUAD are in particularly bad shape.
All the men are somewhat stiff as
natural result but they will all be in
the game Saturday. Platt, who had to
be taken from the game. is in good
shape, as are White and Captain VIII
liarns 1t is expected that by the end
of the week all the men will be in
first class shape for the Paramount
and Kansas games
Washburn has played eight games
so far this year. winning all of them
and the total score for the team being
4 80 to 4.
