TRAINING TABLE.


Coach Frank of Kansas university
says that he fears Washburn. Coach
Frank and his entire football squad
saw the Northumberland game Sat-
urday and the Sons Of Ichabod played
only straight football. Last year
Washburn defeated X. U. by a score
Of 10 to 0. 1t was an earned victory
with the university men clearly out
played. Washburn Is anxious to re-
peat the dose this year and Coach
Frank knows it. The fear Is well
warranted.
News comes from Lawrence that X.
U. probably will abandon the Minne-
sofa shift against Washburn. Coach
Gray should not take this too serious
", Too many bear" stories have
come from the Mt. Dread football
camp. It is true that Washburn made
the Minnesota shift look sickly last
year but the Blues are a new set OF
men this season. If Kansas can plow
through the light Washburn line with
her Minnesota shift, she Will 90 II:
The Ichabods will make mistake II
they do not train for a bomb against
this mass play. Owing to the fact
that the Washburn line is probably 20
pounds lighter to q man than X. u.
the shift Undoubtedly will be brought
into action.
The Washburn line did not show up
any too brilliantly against the Normals
Saturday. The Teachers and the Icha-
bods averaged the same weight to a
pound. But time after time the Nor
Blue defense for good gains. Espe-
cially is this weakness true of the
right side of the Washburn line. Sew
eral times the. Normalites dived
through the Blue right guard and
tackle only to be stopped by the sec
ondary defense. A weeks hard work
and plugging will be necessary to
guard this spot against the university
heavyweights.
The Topeka tickets for the K. u
Washburn game at Lawrence Saturday
have arrived and are on sale at the
business office of the State Journal
Manager Hamilton sent a block of tick
cts which run from the 40 to the 60
yard line. the best seats there are. Buy
your seats early.
The Topeka high school boys will
have q chance to redeem themselves
this coming Friday when the Ottawa
high school team meets the local team
on Washburn field. Topeka was defeat
ed recently by Emporia high school in
rather questionable manner, but Of
tawa defeated Empodia last Friday, -
to Z. so it is now up to Hepworth's boys
to trim Ottawa.
In the game at Omaha Saturday be-
tween Creighton university and the
Haskell Indians the Omaha papers
state that ''Kink" Walworth, the for
mer Topeka high school player. and
who played right half for Creighton.
was the star of the game, tearing of
H<1A lit
in fine style. 1t Is reported as the best
game ever played in Omaha and while
Haskell won Z to 0. the Indians were
unable to score until the final quarter.
The game was played before 5000 peo-
pie.
The University Of Pittsburg team lost
its first game ct the 1eason Saturday to
Bucknell, 8 to o. Pete He'll, the Topeka
boy, played his usual good game at
quarter, but the absence Of AnmoNs,
the star fullback from Kansas. was keen
ly felt. Ammons was called home g to
Winfield a few days ago by the death
losing, however. Notre Dame kept the
west to the front by decisively defeat
ing West Point. Another Topeka boy,
Paul Mowers, son Of John Mowers Of
the Santa Fee. is a member Of the Notre
Dame team.
Just a word about "Pinky" Beales.
Beales first opened the eyes Of To-
peka football supporters in the Will
liam Jewell game. Slippery, speedy
and nervy he made a brilliant showing
in the Normal game. In one play he
started with the ball near the north
line at the center of the field. circled
and outran the Normal ends and halls,
lodged in and out Of almost impossible
attacks, nearly stepped over the south
line of the field in his angle of offense
and finally was downed back near the
north boundary again after making
about 80 yards down the field. He is
hard to catch, harder to tackle and al
most impossible to down.
Bearg is a wonder. A ball tucked
under his arm always called for gain
Saturday. The big right half never
failed to break away from the line of
scrimmage and throw tackler after
tackler from his legs and waist and
impregnable on the defense he Is a
tower of strength for the Sons OF
Ichabod. Coach Frank Of X. U.
picks out Bearg az a man to be feared
next Saturday. Bearg should qualify
for an all-Kansas half back with ease.
He has the speed, the strength, the
tackle and the consistency of q star.
Hardy didn't get warmed up to the
game until the second half Of the Nor
NAL contest. Then he displayed his
old time skill and cleverness. His in
reference work was the best seen on
the Washburn field this season. In
one stage of the game he tumbled
three teachers in Elbe's path and
made 1t possible for the plucky little
quarterback to make 80 yards up the
