Washburn Critics Say Blue Will
Fly Above Aggies.
With K. U. Of Their Schedule
X. S. A. C. Has a Chance.
HUB BUB IN THE WEST
Rocky Mountain Conference
Objects to Denver Game.
Scheduled With Marquette, q
professional" Team.

While Kansas has sent out her an
nual sick list and bear story, the other
formidable rival of Washburn, the
Kansas Aggies, bull the dope sheet Tor
an all victorious team. With K. U. off
their schedule they are in better way
for that honor bat Washburn critics
say the Blue viii fly above the melee
on the last day of the season. Any
way about all K. S. A. c. will not have
that it had before will be Gingery-and
he may slip back yet.
The mess they made of William Jew
ell shows their strength and believe
Ahearn, they will profit by the pace
they were able to make. The farmers
always get that big score bug as soon
as they find they can break away.
They have a. comparatively easy sched-
ule clear up to the Washburn game
and that is about the chance there is
of heading them off.
There is a tremendous hubbub in
Rocky mountain football circles be-
cause Denver university has a game
scheduled with the Marquette team of
Milwaukee. The Rocky Mountain con-
ference objects to the game and other
conference schools are about to refuse
to play Denver if she insists on the
game The trouble is that Marquette
is a sort of sister school to st. Louis
university and operates football team
on the same qualifications, only fewer.
In fact conference officials claim the
Marquette has neither faculty nor eligi-
bility rules or in other words profess
siOnal team.
Denver U. says, however, that Mar
uustte is good enough for it and in
tends to play. Some of the professors
of the institution were induced to wire
Marquette managers to cancel the
game but the Milwaukee men had fixed
a tour and do not wish to lose the
game. There is some mountain talk CT
throwing Denver out of the conference
even If it is the paying town. For that
matter. Denver never did make much
fuss about eligibility rules and a good
football game was what was wanted.
The game in question is scheduled for
October Is so there is plenty of time
left to fight over it.
Frank Green, the Denver U. center,
pulled off one of these girls tricks and
almost killed himself when he drank a
large dose of corrosive sublimate. Coach
Koehler heard Green complain of c
sore arm and fixed him the dope. When
he said. take this" Green retired and
drank it. In a moment he returned
with the complaint that it burned his
mouth. They pumped him out and fed
him eggs while the whole school was
in frenzy.
Bonnie owen has 10 of his last years
team back at Oklahoma. Naturally he
is optimistic at the bear reports from
Kansas and Missouri But while those
bear reports are merely a part of those
two schools tactics, Bonnie likely will
make them go some to beat him again
The Sooners have a clear field in their
own state and look for laurels outside
where they have proven themselves a
good drawing card. This year they
will meet the Missouri Tigers for tho
first time.
A new wrinkle in football training
has been instituted at Chicago by tbs
versatile Alonzo Stage. He has beer
putting his men through a weight re-
ducinr grind The obesity cure con-
sists Of gymnastic flips and flops and
sprints. a Greek dance or two, and
Minnesota song. Most other teams are
still proud of a beefy showing. Stages
theory probably is that an OK never
caught a hare.
