eide the state CHAMPIONSHIPS
According to the dope sent out by
Coach Quigley, the Catholic squad has
only one slogan-Beat Washburn. II
is the game of the year for the 81.
Marys eleven. Their standing IN KAN
sas football would rise several hum
bred per cent If they defeated the
/. Here IL what Coach Quigley has to
say: ,.
has been hanging over the footoau
situation here during the whole sea-
son, on account of the large injured
list. dispelled for the present at least,
the squad Is going at clip tnat mas
not been approached at any time dur
ing the present season. Doyle the Iast
quarter, who has been on crutches por
the most of the season IL out and
seems to be in first class shape. Null
leady, the fast back who mas been
running the team at quarter. since the
College Of Emporia game VIII likely
now return to his position at half
back. Maher. who was injured early
in the season had to give up the game
on account of parental objection; the
latest injury seems to nave nit the
squad the hardest that of Langhoff,
the star punter, who when tackling
Rabbit. the reserve quarter came up
out of the scrimmage with q COM
pound dislocatiOn of the right thumb.
Langhoff will likely be out Of the
game for the rest of the season.
".Beat Washburn,' is the cry heard
here and with that spirit urging the
team on there will likely be a real
football battle waged here next Thurs
day afternoon. Every feature OF the
work now seems to have the down
the Topeka team ring to it and with
most Of the first team men in shape
now there will be a game played here
Thursday that may not be settled till
the last few minutes OF play. 1t Is
hoped that the feature of luck that
has prevented the Catholics from be-
ing the only 'ever-victOrious confer
ence champions this year will not be
evident here Thursday.
"St. Marys likely has three or four
stars, the equal of them are not in the
state this year Burns, d at c lei. taet So:
silent man, at right guard and
Strecker at full back. These men
have shown exceptional ability this
wear but injuries to their running
mates has caused the team to be a
little unsteady in some departments
of play during the entire year"
Bennie Owens and his Sooners meet
the Oklahoma Aggies soon. The Ag-
gies defeated Washburn to 0. OK
lahoma won from Kansas and X. U.
defeated Washburn. Looks like an
dope standpoint. But Bonnie doesn't
look at it that way. While in To-
peka recently he said that Washburn
made a wonderful showing against
the southern farmers. He predicted
that the Ichabods would be trouncod
at least by four touchdown. 1t is
rumored that the Aggies are playing
''ringers''-however, it Is a poor cry
for any defeated squad to make.
Missouri is hoping for a dry field
against Kansas. The Tigers believe
they can walk away with the Jay
hawkers if their backheld once gets
into action. There is one thing GER
tank. U. must put up better
style of defense against end runs If
she wishes to twist the Tigers tail.
It will be a good game-dry or wet
field. It is K. us only chance to
make what is considered q good rec
ord at the university.
The Lawrence Journal-World says
that Nebraska has the "dirtiest coach
in the country" This is not stated
in the sport column-it Is written ed
itorially. Apparently Mr.. Brady has
caught that football fever. He should
instill a little sportsmanlike blood
into his veins-it's powerful good for
that gridiron feeling.
The Kansas Aggies won a close
victory from the Iowa Aggies the 9TH
er day. Excitement was intense on
both sides. The teams of both
schools practiced for weeks before the
contest. One member of the Kansas
team practiced and trained until aft
err midnight for ten days before the
conflict. After the battle was over
cider and doughnuts were served. 1t
was only a debate to be sure, but we
still maintain that excitement was
| intense
| A suggestion to football teams:
Hire a Dutch coach. Nebraska is
whooping it up with Steihm and Mis-
souri, is contesting for Missouri Valley
honOrs with Schultz.
| Washburn hopes that Kansas Az
gies herd the Texas Longhorns all
over the gridiron at Austin today. OF
course Texas trounced Oklahoma, the
Sooners won from Kansas and the
Jayhawkers defeated the Aggies, and
the dope looks discouraging-butt the
Ichabods want the Aggies to come to
Topeka Thanksgiving with their belt
sagging with scalps.
