! plete reversal of form over the games
so far played, ,-e annual struggle De
Z tween the Farmers and the Jayhawkers
on McCook field Saturday promises to
| be a finish fight and a tossup as to the
winner. Leanard Frank, the Kansas
/ assistant coach, who has seen the Ag-
/ gies play this season, does not conceal
/ his nisgivings over the coming game.
The indications on McCoOk field at
present are that the Jayhawkers will
/ enter the game with at least one-fourth
and in all probability a third of its

| chance to play. To the list of tnelig1bles
because of injuries either received in
| the Drake game or before has been
added the name of Dutch" Martin, the
most elusive and reliable broken field
runner in the Kansas lineup. The el1g1-
bllity committee after long and care
full search has discovered an entrance
requirement which was lacking, and
unless Martin can make it Up in a short
time, Mosse will lose one of his most
valuable backfield men for the re-
mainder of the season.
StueMc's Loss Most Costly.
The Drake game was disastrous to the
Jayhawker backfield because of the in
Jury to Butch Stuewe's knee. The big
hard charging fullback will not be in
the game for two weeks at the short
est time. His consistent line plunging
will be a loss which cannot be overcome
by any amount of practice for the
squad. Miller the other fullback, who
has played in the two games preceding
the Drake Waterloo, is troubled with
similar injury received in a scrimmage
with the freshmen. There is only
slight possibility that he will get in the
Aggie game. With both of the regular
fullbacks on the hospital list Coaches
Mosse and Frank will look to Rambo
and Bowron, to fill the place left vacant
by StueWe and Miller.
The Kansas line, upon which the
coaches pin their faith for Jayhawker
victory in the coming games, is caus-
ing some uneasiness in the Lawrence
camp. Hatcher, one of the most power
full of the forwards, will be out of the
game for several weeks on account of
his shoulder which was dislOcated
against Drake on the kickoff. His posi-
ton at left guard will be taken by
Weidline. who has been moved in from
the left wing. Weidline is a power of
strength and because of his experience
a guard last season will fill up the hole
easily.
last year. will so to left end. The
quarterback position is causing the
most trouble at present. Bully Ma
gill, the regular quarterback, is nurs-
ing a bruised shoulder. which kept
him from the Drake game. Parker,
who played the position against the
Iowa school is very light and some
what inexpe rienced at the position.
Wilson, of last years squal has been
out now about three or four days and
is just getting the signals He will
play at least part of the Aggie game.
JayhawIls Expect Hard Fight.
The Jayhawkers are expecting a
great fight Saturday, and the coaches
are pushing the work on McCook fed
as fast as possible. Some of the men
who are not badly injured are bruised
and sore so that the work is hindered
slightly. The Drake victory which fell
as thunderbolt out of a clear sky
upon the K. L. students, has brought
out the Kansas spirit. which has made
Jayhawker teams famous for coming
from behind and winning. Despite
the fact that the university authorities
have tried to discourage a morning
mass meeting. Cheer Leader Dolde is
planning a big rally Friday morning
for the i ggie game, and he says ev-

out of town will be here.
