from Iowa dangling from their belts
and a near victory over the Missouri
Valley champions from Lincoln the
Haskell Indians are looking for more
worlds to conquer. And to this END
they have turned their faces southwark
and on Monday next will leave for
Texas to meet the strong eleven OF the
A. and M. college. one of the strongest
teams in the south. The game will be
played at College Station on Tuesday.
With a score of 312 to opponents IA
the Haskell supporters claim record
score for their favorites, and with still
four games yet to play it bids fair to
be the biggest total of any team in the
United States. The Ottawa game to-
day should add to this tally although
the redskins have a wholesome respect
for the boys down the line as they
scored on Haskell last year and held
Coach Kennedy's braves to total OF
twenty points. True. the college boys
have not made much of a showing SO
far but it is a well known fact among
football men that any eleven men fair
ly we'll coached and in good condition
as they are likely to be by this season
Of the year are sure to be dangerous.
For this reason Coach Kennedy expects
to use his first team and ease up only
when the game is safely in the win
column.

the gridiron this year. While young IN
years, the average age being but IT,
most of the boys have worked together
for at least two seasons. and this with
the addition of the two boys, Poweii
and Charles Williams. who played on
Captain Thorpe's Carlisle eleven last
year, makes a galaxy of football men
that is hard to beat.
Haskell has made a great record In
Dixie. Against the University OF Texas
Haskell has won five out OF a total OF
eight games. In fact the Indians are
great fayorites in the south on account
Of their clean playing and good sports
manship. Next year Haskell will again
play the University of Texas.
The Haskell boys are pulling Tor
Kansas to beat Nebraska on Saturday.
| This hardly seems consistent as that
will not make their own record COM
pare so well with other Missouri Valley
schools, but the Jayhawker players are
fayorites out at Haskell and the red
skins feel that Kansas should finish
what Haskell started on Oct. 25
