Charlottesville. va. June 1S.-Never
before in the history OF the University
OF Virginia Summer School has there
been such large number OF appl.-
cants for board and rooms. More than
a month ago all the dormitorfes on tho

many OF the boarding houses near the

superiority of the instruction offered
in the summer school must be largely
responsible for the increased attend
ance from outside the State. For. al

nevertheless, every Southern state, and

STANDING o.. TEAMS
National League.
WAsHBURN TO PLAY OTTAWA.
BaptistS Have Shown Themselves
stronger This Season.

The next game for the Washburn
team will be with Ottawa. The Bap-
lists played Kansas a week ago and
were beaten by the small margin of a
touchdown and a f1uke. That the OF
tawa university team is stronger than
for several seasons needs no further
assurance.
The next game for Kansas is the
clash with Baker Saturday. Baker led
Washburn through two quarters last
Friday and the final victory for Wash
burn was hardly expected. The brilliant
work of Hardy alone made the over
whelming score.
Hence the results of the Kansas and
Washburn games Saturday will be the
first chance for anything like a COM
parison of the strength of the two
teams which will meet October 20 at
McCook field, Lawrence. While the
Blue team will not weigh quite so heav-
lily as the K. U. bunch they probably
will have a faster attack. The best
dope at the present time is that Kan
sas has a better defense while the Of
fensive work is about on par. 1t was
a noticeable feature of the K. U--St.
Marys game last Saturday that neither
could work the forward pass with sue
cess and that punting had to be re-
sorted to by both teams. The ability
of both teams to puncture the Oppon-
ent's line for small gains would make
an old timer wonder how it was ever
possible to hold a team under five yards.

A YEAR OF UNCERTAINTY.
Great Football Teams Find They Must
Work to Hold Places.

This is a year of uncertainty in foot
ball. The greater teams of other de-
cades are finding that those things
which made them great will not keep
them there. Most of them have disre-
garded the forward pass and other
loose play rules as superfuous and
stuck to the old style play. In some
cases that system has proven good
one and several 0 to games have re-
suited.
Again both teams to a contest have
tried all sorts of loose play and found
the other able to stop anything at
tempted. Probably a fuller develop
ment along the lines of open play will
prove that the big and heavy smash
ing teams of old can not hope to de-
feat a fast aggregation with snappy
basketball tactics. Nothing can be said
with certainty as yet for some places
one thing is true and in another does
not hold.
Every Saturday brings out some I'M
expected event in football circles, how
ever, and the seasons resume will in
clude some interesting reading on the
effect of the new rules on the college
game as it was.
