TO1PLAY SOONERS
Haskell Is Arranging for
Thanksgiving Game.
Want to Stage Contest in
Kansas City.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. A.-With Coach
Bert Kennedy signed up to three
year contract and many OF the biggest
educational institutions In the country
asking for games, Haskell has bright
prospect for next season. Just now the
most interesting thing before the foot
ball public of Lawrence and Haskell
institute is the prospect of a Thanks
giving day game with Oklahoma uni
versity. at Kansas City. Overshad-
owing even the game with NOtre Dame
which Is practically assured. and the
contest with the "Longhorns" Of the
University Of Texas. is this prospective
battle between the proteges Of Coaches
Benny Owen and Bert Kennedy. These
two rivals have met in many a bitter
contest and it is believed that II this
battle is staged in Kansas City 1t will
become an annual affair and soon grow
to the proportion of the Kansas-Mis-
souri, game which was played in Kan
sas City for nearly 20 years. and when
1t was discontinued was one Of the
great contests of the country.
Put Kansas City Back on Map.
Coach Kennedy and the Haskell
athletic authorities believe they can put
Kansas City back on the football map
to stay Just as they have placed the
eleven among the leaders in that sport.
Especially with Oklahoma. The
''Sooners' have beaten Kansas with
such regularity that 1t has become
monotonous. and 1t would please the
fans to see Owen have a chance at
Kennedy's eleven. Both the games with
Warrensburg and the Christian Broth
ers' college game was proof positive of
the popularity both Of the sport and Of
the Haskell team. A game with Okla
homa should crowd the capacity Of the
big park.
Haskcll's Players From Oklahoma.
The majority of the Haskell pupils
are from Oklahoma. In fact the only
time the Jayhawkers do not get the
support Of the Indians is when the an
nual Oklahoma-Kansasg game is played.
For this reason more interest is taken
here in the prospective meeting with
the Sooners than any other probable
contest. A game with Oklahoma will
mean an enormous crowd from Law
renee. The school would practically 60
in a body and Lawrence fans attended
the last game in such numbers as to
show that the old habit of going to
Kansas City on Thanksgiving day was
not entirely eradicated from the sys-
tenn Of the average Lawrence fan.
