| Coach DR.. Bob" Stewart of the
Washburn football team will return
next week from the east, where he has
been getting pointers on the new style
of game He has sent back word that
| he is learning a lot about what the
eastern coaches intend to do and make
of the new possibilities, but refrained
from particulars. There is no DOUBT
however, that the rules as changed Will
| be advantageous to the WashDurn
team The prospects are bright for
winning team. Heavy men are plen-
! ty and eligible. There never was a
dearth of light, fast material at the
school This will be the run getting
department in open play If there is
| one thing Coach Steart has and knows
how to impart, that is pepper. All
his men will work harder than they
| ever did before. There promises 10
| be a passing of the never-sweat class
| of football staged in the new field the
| last two years. Another thing Wnlcn
| is tending to create interest 10 pros
pective players in the Wasnp S RI
which now have a line on nearly every
promising player in the state.
| Drake is up against the same prop
osition encountered here In the ran OF
1905. Many of their best men have
been graduated or have left school.
Captain Warren. Purdy, WILSON, van
Meter. Evans. Havens. Herrick and
Feilxe IS a list who have played thelr
allotted time under conference rules.
| Although Kansas has not the best
nossible schedule on account OF meet
| ing Colorado early in the season ana
Oklahoma late. she has two nara
nd lxn
| fore the Washburn game, which VIII
get the team into fighting class. Whlle
Washburn comes up to K. q. from
series of light games. 1t is Coacn
Stewards idea that the light games
will get his bunch into finer mettle
than hard games for the clash with
kansas on McCook field. The Kan
sas schedule follows:
october OTTAWA university. Nc
Cook. ,,.
oct. 15-Colorado university. Nc
oct. 22-Drake university, McCook.
oct. 29-Washburn college, Nc
Nov. 5-Nebraska university. Nc
Nov. 12-oklahoma university,
Oklahoma city.
Nov. 24-Missouri university, Kan
SaS City.
After the K. U. game. Washburn
| lapses again to lighter battles in prepa-
ration for the Manhattan Aggies, who
undoubtedly will be the scrappiest
team in the state. The Aggie schedule

! Coach Kennedy of Kansas and for
mer tackle Bill Caldwell, who will
coach the Haskell Indians, are arrang-
| ing for a series of practice games to
try out the new rules and get into
| form.
Have to give it to Coach Stage for
getting things good for him. In the
| hashing of the rules by the rules COM
mittee when they were about to cur
tail the forward pass to ten yards, he
hurried back with a grip full of tact
and diplomacy and succeeded in saving
an 1s yard pass for his fast light
| squad.
| The efforts of Iowa university to get
| Coach Griffith away from Drake have
so far proven fruitless. Likewise the
efforts to get Clyde Williams, an old
star, back from Ames have failed and

| On account of a debt of 81 900 hang

| Nebraska university, the N. warriors
will not get the sod field proposed, ac-
| cording to an announcement by Dean
| Richards. president of the athletic

university to institute an athletic fund
fee to be collected from each student
at registration, similar to the system
| in operation now at Washburn and
Kansas universities.
Grinnell college has engaged a new
