100 points during the season as agains
thirty-sx for their opponents The goa
line has only been crossed in two games
once in the South Dakota game and three
times In the Minnesota game. Peru, Doane
Kansas and Ames failed to solve the Corn

most convincing manner. BIZ Caldwell, al
old Kansas player who helped to whip thu
ornhuskers in 1908, Is coaching Haskell ant
a victory for Cole over Haskell will hell
to take another slap at the Kansas system
The Indians have one man who is regarde'
as especially dangerous. Little hewitt, tn
