The pleasant weather of the past
few days, was given a sudden check,
! by a. rain which fell during the night,
and which bids fair to turn to snow

of the fact that half a dozen or more

From Lawrence comes the COM
plant that the Washburn football
team is not in the same class with the
eleven from the hamlet and a sugges-
ton that the university team will re-
fuse to play Washburn another year.
This plant is not an annual affair and
is only heard once in a while for a
short period after the K. U. players
have won a game from Washburn. It
will be remembered that there was no
complaint of that kind last season
when Washburn won the annual game
with a score of II to 5.
