Today is the big day in the WASH
burn school year, the day of the grid
iron battle with the University of Kan
sas. Going back to 1900, the record
above shows Washburn has won three
times and tied twice up to date, white
Kansas has won six times. The mar
gin on games won is the result Of the
Blues weak teams of the last three
years. Formerly the Blue was a fear
ed rival of K. U.
The battle today may not even be
close. The betting is 5 to l on K U.
The Washburn team never has played
such poor football as in the earlier
games this season. Coach Driver and
the players themselves think they viii
shJv a vast Improvement today. Some
of their supporters have caught the
same spirit out the general popula q
still is dubious.
Kansas Weaker Than Last Year.
Kansas las seemed a little weaker
that for several years past but the dope
is that they will beat the locals as
much this afternoon as they ever have
with the exception of the year 1902 when
a merger Of the Medical college and
only easy victory Kansas has had this
year was St. Maryg. Baker tied them,
they beat the Aggies one touchdown and
Drake IL to 5, though Drake is said
to have Cutplayed them.
Kansas and Washburn both will put
in their best Ire No Dlaye~ on either
school is seriously handicapped by in
juries and both coaches Will put forth
all their strength. 1t will be no walk
away fol the Red and Blue. whatever
the impression has been. They will
have to play for it and are prepared to
do SO.

Dictated that Driver still intended to
play Kansas own game an boot the
ball a great deal and try end runs.
Bishop and Tomlinson were kicking
well last night and the halves were
going fast for an involved lot Of for

the field a department wherein X. II.
IS supposed to have a good margin in
effectiveness.
A large Kansas crowd is already ar
irving. The Z. P. trains westbcund at
1O:3S AMI 1916 carry Kansas people
and over the Santa Fe Nos. Is, and
VIII carry extra equipment for the Kan
sas students, arriving at 1910, 1850
and 1920.
Some Of the Kansas people arrived
last night and a good many this morn
ing They are not expecting to take
the game without playing for it and
seem as enthusiastic as In former years.
Blue Rioters Aroused.
The Washburn rooters held a great
enthuslasn meeting at the gymnasium
Friday night, organizing the roofing
for today. There is considerable com
plant about the high price of tickets
for the game, the general crowd fail
ing to realize that the management is
keeping pace with other schools in try
ing to meet expenses. The crowd think,
however, the $3.50 is too much to see
Washburn play and have grounds for
that belief. Nevertheless. the battle this
afternoon will be one worth the money
to anyone who likes to see a good
open style football game.
