MANY fine GAMES
Football Contests for Saturday
in East and West.
WaShburn Plays Haskell Old
Stars on Blue Field Here.

Tomorrow will be the first day of the
real test of the stronger football
squads in the east and the west. The
first game in October really brings
the coaches "out of the brush" with
| the new plays, concentration of the
best material and all around mid
! season football.
Previous to this date, the football
| teams have been playing only the
weaker lleges-practice games and
games for the selection of varsity
material.
To Topekans the most important
game tomorrow is Washburn VS.. Has
| kell old stars in this city. Coach Driver
| will work out all of his seasoned ma
terial against the veteran Indians from
Lawrence. Although there is no fear
| but what the Blue will trample the
| Braves Coach Driver will not attempt
big score A hard working eleven,
shifted each quarter in order to give
everyone a chance, will be the pro-
gram for tomorroWs game on Wash
burn field.
In Kansas the most interesting game
will be the test of the Kansas uni
versity eleven against st. Mary's.
Quigleys pupils at st. Marys hold
more surprise parties than any other
football squad in the state. Time af-
ter time the swift tricky Catholics
have caused worry and fear in the
camps of the heavier elevens.
Coach Mosse, of Kansas university,
gives out a report today that his pig
skin chasers will go into the ST. Mary's
game crippled and torn from recent
scrimmages with the freshmen. All
of the dope favors the Jayhawkers,
however, and it is anticipated that the
university will win by a comfortable
score.
The K. S. A. c. huskies will mix
with the Haskell Indians Saturday.
Coach Kennedy is not very optimistic
about his chances for victory against
the farm erS-and his feeling is ac-
cepted over the state. The Indians
are light-but fast. They may sur
prise the heavy Manhattan players.
