The seat sale is going along at a
rapid rate. More than 500 tickets were
sold yesterday, and indications early
today are for at least as many tickets,

Coach Driver is not making predic-

Washburn.

football of which they are capable, they

much to Topeka to allow it to go un-

Friday night the last hard work was
done by both teams as far as the prep
aration for the Saturday game is con-
cerned. At Washourn there was a
lecture from the coach which consist

Shifts in Kansas Team.
In order to strengthen the team for
the Washburn game, the K. U. coaches
have made several shifts this week.
Milton, who has been playing at CEN
ter has been put at left end, where he
has been smashing interference con-
sistently. He is fast and heavy and is
experienced and one of the most. ag-
gressive men in the squad. In the
backfield, Parker and Holiday are
working at the halves and Miller at
fullback. With Magill, at Quarterback
the back1eld will average about feet
inches in height and weigh about
$50 pounds to the man. This looks
good for the lighter Topeka lads. All
of the heavy Jayhawker backs are
nursing bruises and the coaches are
afraid to risk them in the game Satur-

they know enough football to beat
Kansas. 1t is up to the men on the
team. If they'll go in with the fight

trying to die, they can win for their
school. But it is going to take the
hardest kind of fighting as well as
good plays, men, and desire to win.
