inquiries are selng mace as 10
whether or not Washburn college will
make application for admittance into
the Missouri Valley conference for
next season. 1t is MT definitely known
whether OF not any such action will be
taken But, by all means, Washburn
should be in the conference.
AS matters now stand Washburn
has better football team than several
schools in the conference and all OF the
big games on her schedule are with
NJ. " teams. With K. L., the Aggies
and Nebraska on her schedule. only one
more conference game would be re-
Quired to give her the secified number
OF games and this could easily be ar
ranged with Ames, Washington. or
possibly Missouri.
Such a move would give washburn
the athletic standing she deserves 1t
would have a tendency to make the
members OF the team play better ball
by keeping their pep" stimulated and
school.
1t is a notable Fact that there is not
big school in the country that is not
big athletically, an6 it has also been
demonstrated that athletics, where
properly conducted, have a tendency
to make students better scholars.
The Washburn faculty, student body
and alumni should get together and
resent a strong petition to the next
conference meeting. So far as is
ference and no likelihood of any; but
there is every reason to believe Messrs.
Stiehm, LOwman and Wheaton would
do all they could to get the Ichabods
in 1t would bring added interest to
their Washburn meetings and would
increase the finances Of all.
Ben Bear, one of Topeka's buggiest
bugs. received a very interesting let
ter from his old friend Pete He'll this
week, telling him about the Pittsburgh
team this year, both its good fortune
and its bad.
He'll says that Pittsburgh is in a
bad way at present On account Of hav-
ing her backfield all shot to pieces
The team started the season with the
hest backfield material in the east.
but all of the best men have been put
out on account of injuries, and it is pos
sible that He'll will work at half the
remainder of the season.
The great little Kansas player has
been making a specially of line bucks
| lately and this is the reason he will
be given a heavy position In the
GEORGETOWN game he bucked the line
for a touchdown. In the w. and j.
game he plucked a forward pass that
Melted 80 yards and against Dickinson
he covered so yards for the initial
touchdown on the kick off.
He'll reports that Ammons is getting
says that Hanley, formerly of Notre
Dame, is playing good ball. No men,
ton is made in the letter Of the fact
that Pitts. will employ the Carlisle
coach next season.
A good beginning and the same
kind of an ending should satisfy any
human soul. The Topeka high school
lads made both in the game against
Emporia Friday afternoon and re-
This was the last home game of the
season for the Topekans. and now they
will center their hopes and attentions
on the Lincoln struggle Thanksgiving
day.
Because the Manhattan Aggies were
easy for the Oklahoma Sooners is no
reason why Washburn will not have
her hands full when she meets them
the week after next. To save the last
a mighty effort to down the Ichabods.
and from the pep" the Washburn
men have not displayed this week such
a thing is entirely within the scope
! of human possibilities.
WaShburn cannot afford to take this
game lightly-neither can she afford
to lose it. And the only way to win
| is to be prepared and in condition
when the whistle blows
