All the further information gotten

wanted and they decided the college
was broad enough to handle him. Ihe

teams both developing fast and may

first game for either team under Mis-

season. The Kansas players are all III

The latest dope on the Nebraska
Denver battle at Lincoln Saturday is
that it will be much closer game than
expected. Denver. was rather favored
| by the showing against Marquette be-
cause Nebraska is still suffering the
| effects of the pummelling given them
by Minnesota. But Coach Juneau OF
the Marquette lays the inability of his
team to score elsewhere than, on their
play and says Denver has not so mucn.
! That being the case the Lincoln match
will be a close one with good chances
: for the home team. This is the only
Missouri Valley game Denver has and
she will put every effort in it.
Except for the Kansas game two
weeks from Saturday on McCoOk field,
| Nebraska's hardest game will be that
with Denver. No very good line on the
comparative ability of the Kansas and
Nebraska universities is available, eacn
having played teams from different
sections up to date
Missouri is planning to follow her
defeat of Iowa last Saturday with a
| whirlwind attack on the rest of the
teams on her schedule. Missouri has
never beaten the Ames Aggies which
she meets Saturday. Last season the
game was to tie, the closest Mis-
souri, ever came to winning. The Mis-
!
the students are doping the results
Saturday on the fact that Ames made
! poor showing against Minnesota when
they lost 40 to 0.
The Kansas Aggies, who likely have
? the fastest football team in Kansas
? this season, want a game with Mar

comes out this way again. Assistant

Coach William Juneau of the Mar
