wAsHBURN AND THE swEDEs.
Will Meet in One Game of Double
Header at Skene's TOMORROW.

Tomorrow afternoon the Washburn
management will pull off double
header engagement at Skene's- Park.
In the opening game, the Washburn
academy will oppose the K. U. fresh
men. The last game will be between
the Swedes from Bethany college at
Lindsborg and the Varsity bunch.
This game will undoubtedly be of I'M
usual interest. When the Washburn
team was on the late lamented trip, a
ten inning affair was pulled off at
Lindsborg in which the Swedes won
out by a score of 2 to 1. The Aca-
denny K L. freshman game also
should be worth while as the two
teams met at Lawrence last Saturday
and the game resulted in tie score
of five scores each. Tomorrow Willard,
the OUTLAW pitcher, who was the
bone of contention in the recent stu
dent-faculty scrap, will pitch for the
academy. Willard cannot pitch for the
college but the academy has no strict
rules of eligibility. The lineup for
the Varsity team will be Carey or
Benson, catcher; Trull, Bowman or
McCarroll, pitcher; Robinson, first
base; Martin, second base; McCamp-
bell, third base; Morgan, shortstop;
Mote, left field; Foster, centerfield;
and Shurley, right field
