II Washburn can win the Kansas con-
ference title. she will pose as the cnam-
pion college football team OF two states
|-maybe William Jewell will play
Westminster in Kansas City for the
championship Of Missouri. II the Jew
ellis defeat the Westminster eleven. why
of course the Sons of Ichabod will
mount the stage and say-"We wallop-
ed william Jewell" Once more We say
football dope is a mess of dreams.
Still more inquiries are coming in
concerning Washburn's real chances
against the university eleven at Law
renee Saturday. The dope will bear re-
peating-if the Blue line can hOld-the
right side of the line-Washburn will
have an equal chance. Otherwise the
Washburn secondary defense behind the
line will have to bear the brunt of the
Kansas attacks and touchdowns will
result.
The two Emporia elevens-Normals
and the College-have called of their
annual Thanksgiving struggle. EN-
poria is wild about it. The manage
ments couldn't agree on gate receipts.
The rivalry between the two teams is
red hot every year. No two teams

s worked against the scrubs last night in
latter. Dwight Ream, who will probably
play at left end in the place of Billings,

long gains. Often he was successful in
tearing through the line despite the eff
playing was the feature of last nights
play.
Hardy. the colored half back. is the
strongest in defense on the team and his
work was better yesterday than has been
seen for some time. Bearg Forbes and
f Myers were especially ,ah1sy weak o.. on the de.
by Hardy.
Dwight Ream featured again in return
ing punts. He caught Trobert's kicks
with regularity and made long returns on
numerous occasions.
Beaver has been working at end with
the regulars and has been making a good
showing.
Barrett at center is working under a
handicap and this is responsible for a
slump in his work. He is suffering with
an abscess on his hip which has been
caused by a kick. This Is painful and
causing him considerable trouble but 1t
will probably not keep him out of the
game with the Jayhawkers.
The showing of the team is causing
gloom Of gloom to settle and the students
are deeply interested. Coach Gray is urg-
ing more speed but Is not getting much Of
it and the students realize that the squad
overcomes the Indifferent work that has
been shown throughout the week.
At least 2UO students expect to accom-
pany the team to Lawrence Saturday and
a large number of the faculty will make
the trip. The students are showing more
interest along this line than usual but
win not talke q band with them. --'i - =
