defeat. Several of the old stars of the
gridiron who now live in Topeka anC
who have never before seen such a re-
markabie record by a football team are
Jealous and have organized a team
which will combat the pupils of Coact
Weede next Saturday afternoon.
This game promises to be by far the
hardest proposition with which the
Washburn team has had to contend this
season. Everyone of the players who
will line up against Washburn has g
football career back of him in which he
shines as a luminary of the first vol
ume.
Coach Weede who has so successfully
coached the Washburn football team
this season will coach the old stars in
the game Saturday while the Wash
burn Champs win be left with their
own resources to fall upon and Eddie
Brown has been elected coach for this
game.
The lineup for the old star teams is
the most formidable ever seen in the
west 1t will be composed of players
who have both speed and weight COM
| bined and 1t is confidently expected
that they will make Washburn look
foolish The following lineup will
start the game against Washburn:
| Weede, left end, 165.
Kiene, left tackle, 215.
| Clark, left guard, 260.
| Dadisman, center, 100.
| HILL right guard, 21o.
| Hughes, right tackle, POS.
| L. Stahl, right end, 1S5.
| ]. Stewart, quarterback, 162.
Griggs left half, 1877.
R. Stewart, fullback, 1875.
Outland, right half, 230.
Total weight, 2,214.
Average weight, 201.
Think how foolish the sturdy sons of
Ichabod will look when they find them
selves up against such massive pro-
position as this, q team which will aV-
erage over 200 pounds to the man while
Washburn averages only 1865, and a diff
ference of 35 pounds to the man. This
will make line that is impregnable on
defense and an offense that will be "un-
stoDDable."
Most of the stars in this bunch are
we'll known. Coach Weede, captain OF
the team and Lloyd Stahl, for two sea-
sons captain of Washburn, will play
the ends. DIR. Otto Kfene, once captain
and a star of the old Medic team, and
also of the WaShburn team of 1902, and
Ernest Hughes, also a star and captain
of the famous 1900 team, for tackles;
Fatty Clark, a star at guard for an
indefinite term of years, and DR.. Elmer
Hill captain in 1995,-will officiate at
guards; John Dadisman, captain of the
all-victorious team OF 1905 and again
accorded the honor in 1904 will play his
old position at center; Jimmy stew
art, of Medic fame. and field general
of the great Benny owens" team of
1900 will play quarterback; Art Gr1ggs
Will do the kicking and play one of the
halves while Dr. Outland, at one time
an all-American half, Will play the
other halfback. Robert Stewart, anoth-
er of the old Medic WaShburn bunch
will work at fullback.
And this won't be all. There is a
large number of substitutes. DR.. Bert
Kennedy of Kansas university, has
heen invited to play and if he accepts
he will have q place in the backheld
Lawrence Banks, who Is reputed as the
greatest punter ever seen In the west,
will probably come up from 81. Louis
for the game Walter Caldwell will try
and be here. Frank Grfggs, Ward Page,
DIR. Ernest and ''Bony" Fleishmann will
he on the sidelines and will go In II

Coach weede. the captain of the
team which is being organized to de-

proa ching game, is very jubilant over
the chances of the old stars: Il feel
safe in saying that the team OF
