TEAMS ARE READY.
Kansas and Missouri Fit and Eager for
the Fray This Afternoon.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 26.-The
football teams of Missouri and Kansas
universities will meet here this after
noon to decide the Missouri valley
championship of 1908.
The Missouri team is in perfect con-
dition with the exception of Ewing, the
fullback. His loss will detract from
the strength of the Missouri eleven.
Wilder, who will replace him, how
ever, is a good punter and should be
able to hold his own with the Kansas
backs. The Kansas team is in excel
lent condition.
Both Coach Monilaw of Missouri and
Coach Kennedy are confident of vic
tory. On form, however, Kansas
stands out as the probable winner. Her
line is a veritable tower of strength
and her hard plunging backs have
PLAYED in superior form all season.
Missouri is heavier as a whole, but it
is pointed out that the speed of the
Kansas contingent offsets this.

ABE ATTELL BEATEN.
The American Featherweight Was Out
pointed by Fred Welsh.

Oy EICu NNclSl.
Los Angeles, Nov. 26.-Abe Attell,
the fast and indicated featherweight
champion of the world, met more than
his match last night in Freddie Welsh.
the English lightweight champion and
one of the greatest little fighters that
ever appeared in a ring in this city.
Welsh showed himself to be a clever
man. His boxing, footwork general
ship and defensive tactics were SUI
perb. Welsh won the decision at the
end of the fifteenth round.
Attell never had a chance from the
beginning of the fight to the finish.
The doughty little champion seeming
ly lacked confidence; his blocks lacked
vigor and his generalship was not
what it has been. So seemingly out
classed was Attell by the English
champion that he appeared to be able
to show little of his old time form.
While he fought bravely on the defen-
sive and rallied frequently against the
lead of his opponent he was not able
to make a sufficient showing at any
time to place the result of the fight in
doubt.
Welsh led with both hands with I'M
erring precision. There was much in
fighting and in this alone did AttelI
show to advantage. In the long range
exchanges Welsh was his master, both
in offense and defense.
Attell said after the fight that he
had given away too much weight to
his opponent. He also claimed an in
Jury to his hand received in training,
which interfered with his work.
The betting was 10 to on Attell.

His Record With the Blue a

When the Washburn football team
breaks training tonight after the close
OF the hard fought game with the
Sooners, it will mark the close of three
years work for the local football team
on the part of Coach Garfield w.
Weede.
And it is doubtful if any Kansas
coach has made the record that Coach
Weede has made with the Washburn
squad, when everything has been taken
into consideration. zThe scarcity of ma
terial the size of the school and the
lack of adequate training quarters, are
many obstacles which Washburn's
football mentor has had to overcome
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-11-26

in his efforts to keep the Washburn
football team in a class with the larger
universities of theAnliddIe west.
During his sthreei years career here
Coach Weede has produced two teams
that landed the stale championship, one
of which was also tiled for the cham
0ionship of the Missouri valley And
but twice during all the other IA years
of football at Washburn, the local in
stitution has been represented by but
two teams that won the state cham
pionship, and never before did the lo-
cal school have team that ranked at
the top of the Missouri valley.
1t isn't an easy job to take small
bunch of recruits and develop them into
championship fornsbut twice out of the
three seasons Coach Weede mas helo
his team at the top. In 1906, fresh from
Pennsylvania university, DR.. Weede
took charge of the local squad, sue
ceeding the veteran coach, Dr. John H.
Outland, who retired from footban 10
care for his medical practice. Here ne
found a bunch of half-seasoned play
ers. MANY of whom were decidedly
green at the game, while some were
gems in the rough and uncut.
The record of the team of 1906 is
still we'll known to the people OF To-
peka. The Blue went through the sea-
son with but one stain on her pan
ner, and that a fiuke by which FAR
mount oozed out a victory. during that
season Washburn met three state UNI
orado and Oklahoma. every game re-
suIting in a no score contest. The
Washburn team played hard schedule
that season, and the fact that Coach
Weede, new to the west and not fully
informed as to the strength OF west
err teams, produced a Championship
team during his first year, was remark
able.
1t was during the season Of 1907, how
ever. that Coach Weede made ms
greatest record. Washburn went
through the season without defeat, not
even a tie game. 1t was the most re-
markable football machine ever pro-
duced in Kansas. Every man prayed
like the part of some machine, gong
through his stunts in every game with
perfect clock like regularity Coacn
Weede developed wonderful array OF
plays based on the new style or open
work football. In fact he made the
Washburn team known in the west as
the leading exponent of the new game.
Washburn was ranked on the top rung
with Nebraska as champions or the
Missouri valley. Washburn's team was
undoubtedly superior to that of Ne
