Kansas Expects to Beat Wash.
ingtOn Eleven Saturday.
Washington Holds Stiff Scrim-
mage With Scrub Team.

| Lawrence Kan, Oct. 9.-Although
| Coach MosSe asserts that he was not
! disappointed in the small score that
| William Jewell held Kansas to, new
! ertheless, this week has been one OF
| hard work for the Jayhawkers, and
| they will be in much better condition
| when they meet Washington univer-
| sity Saturday in the first conference
| game of the season.
| The chief weakness of the KansanS
in the William Jewell fray, according
| to Mosse, was the lack of aggressive
| play, although the coach was pleased
with their defensive work. Special
| attention has been given in training
| the squad on offense this week, and
! Mosse expressed the opinion that the
JayhawkerS would be victorious over
Washington Saturday by two touch
downs.
Assistant Coach Frank appears
more pessimistic over the Jayhawker
prospects than the head mentor and
stated that he was very much afraid
of the team from st. Louis.
The lineup which starts the game
against Washington will be practically
the same as opened the William Jew
ell game. Keeling, center; Tudor and
James, guards; Weidlein and Burton,
tackles; Reber and Strother or Cane,
ends; Wilson, quarter; Detwiler and
Greenlees, halfbacks, and Stuewe, full
back

the time because it is still weak at this
end of the game.

scrimmage and several other veterans

back, demonstrated his ability when
he returned a kick off through the
freshmen for touchdown. Two sets

erage 40 pounds.
Washington in Good Shape.
st. Louis, Oct. with all of the
varsity eleven in good shape, Coach
Edmunds, of the Washington univer-
sity squad, had the scrub team oppose
the regulars in an hour of stiff scrim-
