University Of Colorado and Okla

Although it is long time until the
next football season the different KAN
sas colleges are already making plans
for the season and are scheduling their
games as early as possible. Among
the big colleges of the state the sche-
duling of games was temporarily de-
Iayed on account of the negotiations
which were on for the proposed Big
Five but now the big Five" is still
in the form of a dream and has re-
ceived a knockout blow by the actions
of Iowa and Nebraska who refused to
have anything to do with the proposed
conference.
Kansas university is making some
threats about cutting off their rela-
lions with Missouri in view of the fall
ure of the proposed conference to as
sumo material form. However this is
considered a bluff by those who are
familiar with Kansas athletic affairs.
Kansas needs the money which comes
from the game with Missouri and
would be loath to sever relations on
this account.
Kansas and Washburn have already
agreed to play next year. The game
will be played on the second Saturday
in November which will come on No
vember II. Kansas is talking of not
playing unless the game is played in
Lawrence, but it is thought that on
account of the better financial advan-
tages which are offered by Topeka that
the game will be played here. The diff
ference in climate IS not enough to
make any difference in the playing of
better for both teams to play here.
There will probably be several other
good games which will be brought to
Topeka next season. A game has al
ready been arranged between Wash
burn and Haskell which will probably
be a good one in view of the fact that
the Indians VIII play under college con-
ference rules and will have a regular
coach as does Carlisle. Other games
have been arranged between the Kan
sas Aggies of Manhattan and the State
- IT.
game will undoubtedly be played at
Oklahoma City with the Oklahoma
team as was done last year. No nego-
tiations have been made as yet to this
effect but will probably be commenced
within a short time. Last Thanksgiv-
ing day after the game both manage
ments expressed themselves as favor
able to the idea of making the game
between the two institutions an annual
affair. Another big game which will
in all probability be brought to Topeka
versity of Colorado. Colorado usually
has a very strong team and they were
well pleased with their stay in Topeka
last fall and would undoubtedly con-
sent to making another Kansas trip as
there is good money in it for the noun
taineers. Other games will probably be
arranged with the different colleges of
Kansas. One of which Washburn is
especially DESTROYS of getting a game
is with Paramount. In the event of
such game next season Washburn
would undoubtedly be prepared to meet
the men from the peerless city. Last
season with a bunch of substitutes in
the field Paramount squeezed a victory
out of the game at the last moment
- Notwithstanding the various rumors
which have come out concerning Coach
Weede and his chances of coaching
other teams, he will be with the Blue
next season He has had several good
offers and several other schools would
like to get him, but he has turned q
deaf ear to all their pleadings and will
be with Washburn next year. This
alone assures Washburn good team
A rumor which has gone the rounds
OF late Is to the effect that Williams
and Haughey will be barred from
playing in the K. u game next year
These rumors of course come from a
Kansas university source. A short
time ago the rumor was started by q
X u man while in Topeka who Is
prominent in the athletic affairs of
that institution and who is supposed
to know what is going on at that place
According to the rumor Kansas will
try to disbar Haughey and Williams,
two of Washburn's players on account
of having played with professional
team and they will try to show that
these men received pay for their serv-
Ices. Last Christmas day Williams
and Haughey played in a game at Cha
0ute between the Chanute and La
