Three Regulars Left Behind for
Breaking Training.
Topeka HIGHS TOMORROW
Comes to WASH
burn Field for Game.
Other Schedules for Second
Week of October Football.

! one of the ferceSt games on her SCneu-
| ule-Denver university. Coach Div
| err does not bubble over with optimism
| in speaking of the probable outcome
| of the Denver game. NOT only Is ne
| losing the services of three regulars,
| but Captain Tonlinson is suffering
| from Injuries received last Saturday,
D. Rogers likewise-and Washpurn
has not been given any representation
| in the list of officials for the Colora-
| do battle. -,.
Barrett, regular center; McN e1sn'
substitute end. and Mcintosh, tackle,
! were Informed this morning that they
would not be included in the Denver
| trip. They broke the antl-snnoklns
rule and refused to adhere strlctly 70
| training regulations. Barrett turned
| in his suit and declared he would
pIay no more this year. McNeish ana
| Mcintosh have signified their intention
of following out the same plan.
The action of Barrett, McNeish and
Mcintosh in breaking training rules
comes like a blow to football enthu-
siasts in Topeka. Washburn, TINS year,
has prospects for Missouri VaHey
championship team. the scheoule IL
NOT heavy. The team is experienced.
The SQUAD is endowed with plenty OF
beef. Everything lined up for a WIN
ming team First came the rouble
between the players and Coach Driver
over the towel rule at the coAege
gymnasium. NOW COil6S Tie SAAAOAAA-o
rule. Dissension all the time.
A football team can't win with TINS
kind of spirit-and after all, it is spirit
that wins college honors- A team may
have a world of weight, hghthlhs
speed and plenty of heady experience
but without spirit and get-togeIher
playing, few satisfactory results can
be obtained.
Washburn always has been power
in kansas and Missouri valley foot
ball The college has been represent
ed by. elevens that have defeated every
onronent This years collection OF
football material looks like another OF
the famous squads of the past. But
as long as there is a lingering IDEA
among the players that they can TOY
with the training rules ana disregard
the teachings of the coach-no cham
nionship sweets will be tasted by the
Blue.
Topeka sports and football support
ers are praying that the athletic trou-
bles at the college will be forgotten
Unless there is a change and WASH
burn takes advantage of her oppor-
tunitv to capture the state football
honors-very few downtown sympa-
thizers will be found to take an in
terest in local college football.
Washburn players who went to Den
yer today: Tommy Tomlinson, left
half: smith Bishop, left tackle; Elmer
Bearg, fullback; c. Billings. quarter;
tombstone, left guard; Cecil Lowe,
right half George Myers, left end; d.
Rogers, center; N. Rogers, right guard;
Dick Whitcomb' center; Diamond

Smiley, quarter; Pearson, right end,
and Ream. left half.
Topekans will see the first real
game for state high school football
Il
burn field when the Topeka highs
meet the strong Leavenworth aggre-
cation. Coach HeiIs players, tough
ened by frequent scrimmages with
Wash burn varsity, encouraged by the
defeat of the Washburn freshmen, will
go into the game tomorrow with mid
season pep. The standing of the To-
peka highs in the state high school
championship depends on the outcome
of the game tomorrow. If Topeka
wins from Leavenworth she will have
a clean slate on which to write her
coming victories.
Go out to Washburn field tomor- |
row afternoon and watch the high
school pigs<in lads perform. Coach
He'll has given them wonderful mass
of plays and formations-and he has
taught them how to unwind the tricks.
LeavenwOrth is HEAVIER than Topeka, |
but the local highs have the advan-
tage of systematic training, coach |
The whistle blows at o'clock to- |
morrow afternoon.
