shifting players, it is a wonderful play.

The place and drop kick has won
more games this season than at any
other season since football became q
national college sport This, despite
the fact that the count is not as large
as 1t has been in the past. The man
with the educated toesis the man who
is of real value on the football squad
of today.
Which reminds us-Washburn should
have no trouble in place kicking as
long as Grip Gray Is at the head of
the coaching staff. Gray was a wonder
in his days at Oberlin, it the Chicago
sport writer's are to be believed. His
toe was the most powerful in that Sec
ton OF the. country-and Oberlin is
right in the midst of some college foot
ball territory. Even today. Gray will
stand out in the middle Of the Wash
burn field in practice and drop kick a
ball between the goal posts. He punts
pupils will sit down on the ground and
rest while the ball is coming down. Tro-
bert for the Ichabods has mado the
best showing of any man in Kansas
this season. He should be a world
beaten next season. His place kick
go down in Kansas football history as
one of the 1913 records
This from the University Kansan
Of X. U.-but don't blame the editor
football is tOuchy subject on Mt
At Manhattan we beat the Aggies in
score, but not in sportsmanship; at the
Washburn game we had the score but
not the sportsmanship; against Nebras-
ka We had the spirit but not the score.
