VARSITY is RESTING.

At the Washburn football camp this
week the preparation of the second
team to meet the Olathe dummies is
claiming most attention. Dummy"
Taylor's gang will be here Saturday.
Last week the Freshmen team defeat
! ed them at Olathe only by the hardest
sort of fight. The famous old n. Y.
Giant was not suspected of football
knowledge on the side, but he has
whipped his still ones into a creditable
team.
The Freshmen report that the for
mer giant has taught them forward
pass which is something of speciality
| they could not fathom. Moreover, the
players can not be annoyed by abusive
| language and have nothing to do but
saw wood, give the high sign and run
again. Their college yell is reported
| to be marvel in exclamation novel
| ties.
The varsity is taking the route to
the Thanksgiving game with the big
| farmer bruisers in an easy manner.
The perfection of passes, kicking and
deceptive plays is occupying the most
of their time. No hard scrimmages
| are being INDUCED this week, Coach
| Stewards aim being to preserve the
form displayed by the team in Kansas
City.
| The varsity has no game until
Thanksgiving, the Saturday game US
ually scheduled just previous having
| been tabooed as a Gripping contest
| Invariably game the Saturday just
| preceding the Turkey day has proven
| disastrous by either Gripping the
| men or so far exerting them that the
Thursday game was below standard.
Already a special train to Manhat-
tan for the blue fans is being arranged
for and a good crowd undoubtedly
will make the trip. The game will be
hard fought and perhaps closer than
generally suspected. The Washburn
line showed strong in the last game
and the Aggie attack may find a Sc
rious problem. The farmers will far
outweigh the blue and that will cast
a strong advantage to the old style
football most used by the agriculture
lists.
There is only one change contem-
plated in the Washburn lineup to date.
That is the shifting of Rogers back to
guard and the running of DeFrantZ
at tackle. Rogers has played in great
form in the past two games, but is a
young player and the old heads might
rattle him, it is said. De Frantz has
played longer and is a terror to an
opposing line. The concerted attack
now developed by the blue is half ex-
lpected to find gains through the Aggie
line and around the ends in spite of
the proves granted the alfalfa peel
ers.
Nebraska, winners of the Missouri
Valley championship by the defeat of
Kansas to 0 and Ames "a to o. is rest
ing on her oars and honors, waiting for
the Haskell game a week from Satur-
day. The Cornhuskers probably never
had a better team than that developed
this season by King Cole in his final
year.
All football lamps turn on the Mime
Michigan game Saturday foc
which the two teams are preparing.
The great battle will be played at Ann
Arbor. Yost's bunch still is something
of a dark horse and last years ex-
perience is remembered. When the
Wolverines and Pennsylvania played u
| tie no score game last Saturday, YoSt
showed nothing but lots of ginger and
a fierce attack. Some critics say
| Michigan should have scored. Mime
sofa has gone her best all season anG
last week sent the Badgers through the
ropes % to 0. The Gophers are report
ed to have the most perfect football
team ever in the Chicago circuit. Thar
Pennsylvania has developed remark
ably since her early season weakness
is a fact and it is doped that Michigan
| by playing her to a standstill, has a
good chance with the heavy Minnesota
team.
The annual enthusiasm over the
Kansas Missouri football game at
Kansas City has set in and the seat
sale reports from the metropolis indi-
ccte that the receipts will come very
near the record set last Thanksgiving
Day. That both teams have been de-
, feated, Kansas by Nebraska and Mis-
souri, by Ames and st. Louis, lessons
the enthusiasm to a certain extent and
Roper, a drawing card in himself, also
is absent. The game in itself, however.
| ought to be as evenly matched and
stubbornly fought as that last season.
The Oklahoma showing against Kan
sas last week boosted Missourf's hopes
materially Indeed, Missouri is thought
:. by the whole state of Missouri to have
an excellent chance of repeating the
! last Turkey day score.
Bill Roper's Tigers of this season
; failed to deliver as his Missouri Tigers
did last The Princeton bunch seemed
to take poor old Eli'' too easily and
themselves too much for granted. The
result was the surprise of the football
world. And incidentally should Yale
continue to develop with Walt, the
wizard, hanging around, Harvard may
have to be content with victory by a
small margin.
