M'INTYRE IN CENTER

The cold weather last night made
practice lively for the Washburn foot
ball squad and showed that the men
We're faster than was suspected from
their previous practice. Coach Stew
art is running McIntire at end to be
used there in case of necessity. Whit
comb was back at practice again and
with Hardy and Burkhart at halves
the backfield is lined up for the Kan
SaS game.
Stories of lots of K. Z. money at
odds of to l on the outcome of Sat
urday's game and even money that
the Blue does not Sco1e indicates great
confidence at the university, and wor
| ries the Washburn boosters. The
greater part of the student body will
| journey to Lawrence in automobiles
| or on the special train, nevertheless,
flor until the team is finally beaten
there is hope. Many still claim the
Washburn team has never shown up
to form and that reversal from the
| Ilstless play ought to occur this week.
Scrimmage last night will be sup
plemented with signal running and
down field practice tonight after which
Coach Stewart will lecture his men on
the plan of the battle. Nothing is be-
| ing left undone to help the chances
of the Blue, but it is impossible to get
the cripples into condition to play
| and it will be a much weaker team
| than it was considered at the begin
ming of the season. AS few plays will
| be used as possible, the squad having
mastered but a small proportion of
| the offense planned.
The Washburn lineup for the con
test will consist of McIntire, left end;
Mcintosh. left tackle; tombstone, left
guard; De Frantz, center; Realm,
right guard; Titus, right rackle; Nc
Carroll, right end; Crumbine, quarter;
Hardy, left half; Burkhart, right half;
iWhitcomb, fullback.
The game will not be called until
after the Washburn rooters have
4 reached the grounds from the special
at 1870 o'clock. Tickets are on sale
at Fullerton's.
The Kansas Aggies, who have made
mince meat of all corners up to date,
will continue the practice at Omaha
Saturday with Creighton. The team
with a round of substitutes left Man
haitian today for the Nebraska metro
} polls. Marquette Tanquished the Ne
braska Catholics Is to after their
St. Marys was Is to O, so their lead in
both games was Is points. There was
a suspicion that if Marquette played
the Aggies they would have been beat
en-. Saturdays results will give an
idea of what the result would have
; been.
The first football game of impor-
tance to be played in Kansas City this
season takes place tomorrow. between
the Haskell Indians and the eleven
! from st. Louis university.
The Missouri State Norma1s from
. Warrensburg play Quigley's team to-
: morrow at st. Marys.
The faculty a1l-the-vear coach sys-
, tenn at Nebraska is not meeting with
popular approval and King Cole is to
be replaced next year, according to the
: reports. The system is one coach for
all athletic teams and rl1e consequence
, seems to be that one man can not fill
such a bill. King Cole is given credit
by most critics for having accom-
Iplished everything Nebraska could
hope for Whether the overwhelming
defeat at the hands of Minnesota is &C
countable for the decision on change
: of man is not known. but it is thought
to be responsible for immediate an
nouncement. The search for new
head coach probably will bring out
/ the fact that King Cole leaves a
/ mighty big hole.
The great game in the east tomor-
row is the Harvard-Army game at
West Point. The outcome will give a
fine line on the Harvard-Yale game of
November 10. for the Army ran over
, Old Eli 9 to 8 on october 15. Last
Saturday Harvard defeated Brown IL
! to 0, while Yale was outplayed but
: not defeated by Vanderbilt. to 0.
: Harvard has vet to be scored upon
and chances now are that her defense
J will keep the goal line clear through
; out the season. though such feat
under the present rules would seem
: miraculous. Yale meets Colgate, which
l tied Brown, 0 to 0, Saturday, and fur
: tther dopes the Crimson-Blue contest.
t The great battle in the Chicago con-
, ference scheduled for Saturday is the
z Chicago Minnesota contest at Chicago
The Minnesota eleven. with a retfnue
! of coaches and trainers arrived in
lChicago, where they will work out
this evening. Twenty players espe-

the trip. It is the determination of the
