The largest attendance to date is ex-

ance of the contest.
Down the line about thirty miles or
so a great dope mill for Washburn is
running today where Kansas discloses
their ability in game with Baker.
This is the first line the local enthus-
lasts have been able to get on the
relative strength of K. U. and Wash
burn, the greatest rivals in the state.
By lucky ending Washburn trimmed
the Methodists 20 to 5. Baker has
been persistently trying to raise their
score ever since the game but the
thing is history with perhaps some
luck on the Washburn side. Just what
Kansas will do to the Baker aggrega-
ton is a worry to dopesters. And yet
one never can tell under the new rules
because of the great chances under the
various systems OF defense which may
have been adopted by the different
teams. Perhaps Baker will try a diff
ferent style of attack than that used
here, drop the passes and resort to
kicking, then the locals would know
little what K. z. would do to passes
if tried and that is one thing especial
ly to be found out. Lynch, who has
been doing great work at end for KAN
saS, will be out of the game with a
bad shoulder, it is said. He played
a part of the game with the st. Marys
and broke up their formations with
regularity but had to quit with his
arm limp.

Hugo Bezdek, the Arkansas coach who
saw the Aggies- Normal game at Man

The lineups and weights of the Ne
braska eleven, which will meet Min
nesota today, as given out, show the
Cornhuskers lighter than for several
seasons. Coach Cole denies that the
team is a beefy one and brands the
bull stories as unsubstantiated- Coles
bunch is up against the real thing to-
dav and feel little dubious since the
overwhelming victory of the Gophers
over Ames a week ago. The weights
of the Cornhuskers are as follows:
Chauner, left end. 161; Shonka. left
tackle, 201: Elliott, left guard, 1856;
Collins. center, lit; Hornberger, right
guard, 1876: Temple right tackle, $50;
Lofgren, 100; Warner, quarter, 1855;
Rathbone, full back, $50; E. Frank,
right half, ISL. The average weight
is no while the line average is 179
and the back field 1856.

Iowa beat Morningside u to 0 and lost to |
Northwestern in a gruelling game 10 to 5.
The contest today is expected to be one of
the most evenly matched games in the
Missouri valley. Chase. Towa's star end,
will not be in the game on account of Ill |
