AT Washburns football camp the
hardest week of practice of the season
was commenced yesterday. The game
! next saturday between Washburn and
Paramount which will be played on the
Washburn gridiron promises to be the
most bitterly contested game of the sea-
| son. 1t will be bitter in every sense of
the word. Last season Paramount play
ed strong game against Washburn
Washburn was weak in the game and
had several subs in the lineup Then
Weede was trying an experiment with
! the lineup. Haugheyr was sent. in at
| tull and Williams went to the line.
Washburn had the game won until a
questionable decision by Lieutenant
Glasstord of Fort Riley gave the Wich-
tia players two points on a disputed
safety which should have gone as a
touchback- As a result Washburn was
defeated by a score of to 6. And it
was the only defeat of the season for
the Blue, a bitter pill indeed for them
to swallow.
This game highly elated the football
players and fans from Wichita. The
sporting writer's of Wichita were great
ly pleased over the fact that a team
from Topeka was defeated by a team
from Wichita One sporting writer
came out in his paper with an extensive
article claiming for Paramount the
championship of everything west of the
Mississippi river not in the big nine.
They still talk about the Paramount
team of last season and are jubilant
over the prospects for Saturdays game.
AS a result this years game will be
very fierce. Paramount is to try her best
to show that last seasons game was
not an accident while Coach Weede's
men will do their hest to put Fair
mount entirely out of the running.
Paramount has it in for Washburn. 1t
is the only big game they can get on
their schedule and they are anxious to
win so they can gain recognition from
other big schools. Paramount will be
on edge for this game They will be
filled with Paramount spirit too. That
is to say that they will be ready to
be knocked out of the running as far
as other games go and will win from
Washburn even if they have to cripple
half their team to do it. There is no
doubt that it will be a good game.
Paramount has won all her games
this season. Only a week ago yester-
day they won from St. Marys- They
have played nearly all the smaller col
leges in the state and have won by big
scores, but they have not yet been up
against a strong proposition such as
Washburn. They have some good men
in their team as we'll Bates, brother
of the Fairrnount coach, is reputed as
one of the best punters in the state
and in Wichita he is even rated much
higher than Glenn Mi1lice. Paramount
is working hard this week.
WaShourn mad a great deal OF trouble
in winning from the Aggies although
they easily outplayed them. While
some enthusias SITS may find some mis-
givingS as 70 Washburn's strength judg-
ing from the result of the game Satur-
day, it is the general verdict that it
was the best thing that could have hap
pened to WaShburn- The men were
stale from the K. U. game and although
their defense was strong against the
Aggies they could clearly see that they
must get together in better shape for
their scoring machine won't do much
work against Paramount.
Bill Davis, the assistant coach of the
Aggie team, was captain of the Fair
mount bunch last season and was the
one whom Washburn accuses of doing
