BLUE is READY.
Washburn Team Meets st. MaryS
on Tomorrow.
Do Not Expect Easy Game by
Any Means.
LAST NIGHT
Sons of IchabOd Were Naturally
Somewhat Slow.
All the Regulars Will Be TakeI
Along.

With but three days intervening be-
tween the Haskell game of last Satur-
day and their next contest, Washburn's
football aggregation tomorrow morning
will take a short journey up the Kaw
valley to ST. Marys where they will
meet the football cohorts of Coach
Ernest Quigley on the Catholic grid
iron. Nearly the entire squad of Wash
burn players will be taken along. A
large number of rooters from WASH
burn are also planning to accompany
the team and assist in winning IL root
ing can be of any avail.
The general football public is expect
ing Washburn to defeat the Catholics.
However if Washburn wins it won't
win the game in any such fashion as
they did the Haskell game last Satur-
day. Those who are on the inside and
claim to know say that the Washburn
team has had a reversal of form since
their game Saturday. 1t is claimed that
the entire squad were trained to an
edge for the Indian game which was
expected to be a gruelling contest but
which eventually proved a soft snap.
Now it is claimed that the team has
gone stale and that Coach Weede is
afraid to try to get the men edged up
for the ST Mary's game on account OF
the game with Kansas university
which will be the next on the Wash
burn programme.
However, one thing is certain, and
that is the fact that the Catholics have
a good team this season. This Is
shown by the fact that they succeeded
not only in holding the JayhaWkers
from Kansas university to a low score
but scored on them and this too on
McCook field, the famed battle ground
of the Jayhawkers. Last season ST.
Mary's enjoyed the distinction Of WIN
ming all her games on the st. Marys
gridiron. 1t is hard to beat Quigley's
bunch on their home grounds as they
have the most loyal bunch or rooters
that ever witnessed a college game.
Washburn's team may be somewhat
crippled for the game. Last night which
has been the only practice Tor the team
since the Haskell game was not alto-
gether encouraging. The team was
slow in unning signals and many times
the simple plays which gained ground
against the Indians were balled up oy
the men who seemed to be labor1ng I'M
der a nervous relapse. Neither White
nor Williams were out to pract1ce last
night. Williams was bruised consider
ably in Saturdays game by his con-
slant ~catapulting against the Indian
line and may not be able to play to-
morrow. Mi.lice suffered a strain IN ms
left, leg, the wonderful punting of which
helped~Washburn a great deal IN the
second half of Saturdays game.
Coach Weede in talking of tomor-
rows game this morning SAID: we
expect a hard game with st. Marys TO-
morrow. We will have a great deal
| more trouble with them tina we did
with Haskell and it would not surprise
me in the least if ST. Marys held US
without a score. They have a heavier
team this season than they did a year
ago and against K. Q. they certainly
played a good game. Our men are not
in the best shape and I am somewhat
afraid of the outcome of tomorrow's
game"
