as is usually the case falls to the lot
of Topeka boy, Harry Bates, who
plays quarterback. Bates is an all
around man, as he can run the team
well. Is adept at returning punts and
as a drop kicker has made a decided
success. Coach Ahern is banking
strongly on his work and is banking on
the line holding enough for him to drop
kick the ball over the goal every time
the Aggies get within striking distance.
But out on Washburn field Coach
Weede has been working his men
hard every day in an effort to frus-
trate the plans of Coach Ahern & Co.
While all of his men are not in tiptop
condition they are all out in suits and
working hard and any of them will
be ready to get into the game when
they are needed. Robb and Haughey
might be in whole lot better condi-
ton but they will in all probability be
able to start the game. With Larimer
as substitute and Johnston almost as
good an end as any of them. Robb
and Haughey can be relieved at any
Realm who was in bad shape prior
to the game of last Saturday is in
great form now and should either of
the regular guards have to be taken
out he will be able to keep up the
stonewall front against the Aggies.
Brethour and Williams both have
charley horses. Both. however, will
have their horses exchanged for faster
stock by tomorrow. Walter Boles
seems to be about the worst of the
squad in the matter of condition at the
present time. Walter wrenched his
wrist in the Kansas game and has not
been able to practice all the week but
has been out in suit for the past two
nights. White has been out for only
two nights as well but after what he
did in the K. U. game when in poor
condition, it soems to make but little
difference to the team whether he is
out at Washburn as to what the score
might have been Saturday had White
been in tfptop condition.
The big event between the two
schools is billed to transpire tomor-
row afternoon on the Manhattan grid
iron. Charles E. ("Chick") Morton,
the popular travelling passenger agent
Of the Rock Island, has been success
full In working his boss for special
train to Manhattan which will be run
who wish to witness the game. The
train will leave Topeka at 1915.
Those who go are supposed to get
their dinners first. The train will
reach Manhattan before the game.
The Washburn team will be on the
train and the game won't be likely to
start before they get there. The re-
turn trip will be shortly after the
game. Those who are real hungry
after the game is over will find time
enough to get a lunch. while those
who are less hungry will get to To-
peka in time for supper According
to Mr.. Morton the trip will be per
sonally conducted" and the train will
be one of the finest ever run over the
Rock Island. 1t will be pulled by one
of the new Vanderbilt type of passen-
ger engines such as Is used by the
New York Central on the Empire
State Express. There will be plenty
of baggage coaches for stolen PEN
nants and the like. A standard buffet
car. diner, observation and chair cars
will comprise the train.
The officials for the game are Sc
lected and from the personnel of the
quartette the game will be run right
through in good shape. DIR. Masker
of the Kansas City Athletic club who
worked so successfully in the game
here last Saturday will referee. Coach
Brummage Of Ottawa university and
captain and fullback of Kansas in
1903 will umpire; Coach Ernest c.
Quigley, recognized as one of the best
officials in the west. will act as head
inesman. while Prof. Hamilton of the
Agricultural college will offlciate as
field Judge.
Three hundred of the choicest seats
In the Manhattan grandstand have
been reserved for the use of the Wis
itors from Washburn college and To-
peka. They will be sold at the rate of
fifty cents apiece. The whole trip can
be made for less than three dollars
round trip including railroad fare, ad-
mission. ct cetera.
