Il am going to use just six plays in
the College of Emporia game SAID
Coach w. l. Driver of the Washburn
team Friday night. That probably
will be a record number FOR q reg SulaI-
Iy scheduled game but Il W ASH Urn
wins. the Emporia team need not reel
that the locals did not give them the
best they had. Washburn can play d
better game today with six plays than
with seven or any other larger num-
ber The team is not ready
Moreover, these six plays VIII al
be old style formations or line and end
attacks. The Blue bunch has no KICKS
or passes developed and that IS some
more eN1UGnC6 LudL tLG team -
vet prepared for much of game Like
~ this is Just as well today on ae-
count of the wet field where loose play
might resslt only in disaster.
Coach Driver said last night that
II could not rain too hard to stop the
contest and unless the visitors refuse
to play the game viii be staged- me
field is in q very fair condition ana
is all sod except where a baseball dla-
Tnond was made and that was allowed
to grow to wild grass and Is almost
as firm the turf
No Cinch for XVashburn-
1t is no sort of a cinch that Wash
burn will even win their first game
for tne COLLEGE of Emporia probably
has the best team in its history Bill
Hargis, an old normal star, developed
winning team there last season any any
in the last game defeated MS ol9
school. which earlier in the season had
slipped a score over Washburn- he
has the same bunch with him agaln
this year and by the straight dope
method, is expected to be stronger tnah
The visitors are doped to show a
long line of trick plays, freak lorna
tions and forward passes Naturally
with this, their biggest game, coming
as early, they have attempted to reacn
.beir hest form Immediately Whl4e
Washburn. with its hard games coming
late, will not attempt to put tnelr pest
team into motion until November. An
that they are allowed to play freshmen
10 I'll vacancies Of substitute for last
years men, while Washburn, oy the
kansas conference handicap, is not al
lowed that privilege
Blue Team Lighter.
The teams will not vary greatly IN
weight The Washburn squad is the
Hghtest ever representing the school A
con1Darison with the light team OF last
year leaves this team greatly hghtef-
A daily chart of the weights or the
men. weighing in after each practice
viii be begun next week. AS yet the
scales have not been used But in the
place of DeFrapz at center, there IS
Barrett; in place of Mcintyre and Lee
at ends there are Cowgirl and Rankin
in place of Realm at guard, there IS
Johnson; in place of Tomlinson, Nc
Farland, and Hardy IN the backf1eld
there is Burkhart. Rogers and Lowe
In all these places, there is an average
decrease of 10 pounds or more weight
snd that is a great deal in the foot
ball game.
1t is Coach Drivers opinion that the
team, touay is inferior to that of the
first game last season. The first game
last year was with the same college
and the Frnporia boys scored Is points
to Washburn's p. Then Washburn out
weighed the visitors several POUNDS 10
the man and yet had a hard time Win
ming owing to clever open work by the
lighter players They may repeat with
more success today.
The. refere chosen for the game is
]. C Grover of Kansas City, a Wash
ington university man. Izzy Anderson
a Missouri man, and better known here
will umpire.
