Camps Over Kansas.

Washburn is looking with anxiety
toward the Friday game with EN-
poria- The college football supporters
realize that the Sons OF Ichabod Will
have only a faint chance at Kansas
conference honors unless the Presby-
terians are defeated The team is in
poor shape to meet the speedy EN-
por;ans who have been training the
entire season to humble Washburn-
Three conference games are left on
the Washburn scheduIe-College OF
Emporia. St. Marys and the Aggies-
The Aggies are listed in the Missouri
valley conference also.
Here is the way the Washburn Re-
view sums up the situation:
Zone of the hardest games in the
schedule is ahead of the Blue when
she plays the College of Emperia in
Emporia either Friday or Saturday of
this week. The college has title
aspirations and intends to cinch them,
after the victory over Baker, by
hurnbIinS the Blue For Washburn it
is the next step towards winning the
state title fer the Presbyterians must
be defeated to give Washburn a claim
After En- poria. St Marys and the
Kansas Aggies must be annexed
The team needs support for the
game with Changers coIlegians. Badly
shot by the Kansas game, with Hardy
out by injuries and Ream out from
parental objections. prospects are not
very good Granger watched the
game with Kansas from the side1ines
and from the showing figured that he
had a good chance to win. The lack
of open play from the Blue is counted
on as a factor, to help win
ITO lose the game to Emporia, ex-
cept on some freak, means that the
Blue will have not even a look-in on
the title race Every student must
give the same support that character
lied the rooters before, during and at
ter the game with K. q"
Conference Dope.
Three teams are left in the Kansas
conference title race The State Nor

Aggies back in with an almost clean
slate on account OF their 50 to 0 VIC

of the season, giving them some claim.
but they are out altogether now. Baker
lost all hope or claims when Twist

porians. but they left their conference
hopes with Changers men These two
defeats leave Emporfa. Washhurn and
the Aggies in the race
One OF these teams goes out either
next Friday or Saturday when Wash
burn plays the College of Emporia at
Emporia If the Ichabods win they
have left to play the Agg1es and st
Mary's to get the pennant. St Marys
is practically certain. and the game
with the AgEieS is the crucial one
There is not much dope on the EN-
poria game, except that Washburn

liam Jewell beat Baker to and
Emporia beat Baker 10 to o. II En-

Washburu then beats the Aggies. EN-
poria gets the title. If the Agg1es beat
Washburn, both will have an equal
claim, unless one or the other simply
swamps the Blue Il Washburn wins,
it simply resolves itself into game
for the championship between Wash
