The Jchabods would like to pile up

the team is in no condition to make
this attempt. A narrow margin victory
will be satisfactory.

The first time that all the varsity play
ers have been on the field since the

their defeat at the hands Of the Jay
hawkers Saturday. showed plenty OF
pep" in yesterdays practice. and swear
to beat the Aggies Thanksgiving day
and thus even up the score. A victory

The Kansas Aggies play Texas uni

and Oklahoma romped away with Kan

Washburn negro halfback. the Univer-
sity Kansan quotes a side line repre-

game tell different story.
The east and the west, represented by
Pennsylvania and Michigan at Ann Arbor,
fight for supremacy Saturday. Other i'm
