After last Saturdays game the poet
laureate of the IGEabOd squad philo0o-
phized and rythmatized as follows:.
Because they had the bully beef
They beat US by a score.
But we will get them yet, you bet.
And give their bulls a gore.
1t was the work of Gray today
That put us in the ditch. !
But take it from your Buzzard Beals, |
Next year there's be no '.sich.''

ceptible to the naked eye. One reason
was because the Ichabods got enough
Saturday to do them for a few days
running, and the other was beca use
there is no game o.. the schedule this
week.
The next conflic. for the Ichanods
is booked for Thursday week with St.
Marys. There is nothing in sight for
Saturday but Coach Gray said Monday
afternoon that he might try to scare
up something as the men are in good
shape and the excleQuer Is Tot as full
as it might be. X. U. left no serious
trail and the men would probably bel

last Saturday was between seven and

and the purchasing of equipment has
been a heavy burden this season.
Battling for the crown Of the Mis-
souri, Valley conference, K U. and
Nebraska will meet Saturday in Lin
coin for the biggest and most impor-
tant game OF the season in the valley.
Both teams are training to a razor
edge for the event and a record break

all parts of the country for it.
Kansas and Nebraska are the only
undefeated survivors in the valley run
ming and this adds interest to the
game. The Nenraskans eliminated
Ames from the race and Ames in turn
put Missouri out. K. U. plugged
brakes hopes and both X. u and Ne
braska walloped the Manhattan Aggies.
means the championship for either
team. The question is. which will 1t
be?
Reports indicate that the Jayhawk-
ers will have a little the best of it in
weight. but the Cornhuskers have
Ford efficiency in every particular and
have a wonderfully well organized
team. X. U. will undoubtedly rely
upon her old style tactics, while the
Nebraskans may be expected to in
dulge in the progressive game.
Many dopesters are using Washburn
as a gage by which they measure the
possibilities and comparative strength
OF the two teams. 1t hardly seems
that this is very accurate barometer
Nebraska beat Washburn IA to in
the first game OF the season and the
Jayhawkers performed the same feat
Saturday 20 to A. Detwilder for K. u.
and Potter for Nebraska are expected
to pull the miracles for their respective
teams. Neither played in the games
against Washburn and Potter has been
out for two weeks account OF in
juries.
If X. U. should beat Nebraska Sat-
urday and then should lose to Missouri
in the following week there would be
some question about the Valley honors.
The Missouri Tigers have shown
marked Improvement in the past two
weeks and likely will be in their best
form in the Lawrence tussle. The Mis-
sourians are slated to play Washing
ton university this week and expect a
good practice game only. The Column
bia followers are reported to be praying
for Nebraska to do some butchering
while she has the Jayhawkers on her
home field.
at Solomon last Friday when the local
| team and Abilene played a 0 to tie
The teams were said to be evenly
matched and the report Of the game
says the score shows about the right
strength.
The first day of the seat sale for the
| Kansas-Missouri game, which will be
played Nov. u at Lawrence, netted over
5000 in cash. At that rate. the Jay
, hawkers and the Tigers will draw the
banner football crowd of the year in
Missouri Valley circles. Special trains
will be run from Columbia, Kansas
, City and Topeka.
Coach Lowman is reported to be
making strenuous efforts to have his
team in the best of shape for the Okla
homa Sooners Friday. A number OF
Topekans expect to journey to Nam
haitian to see this game. The Haskell
Indians will play Louisiana at New Or
leans this week. Baker meets Creighton
f; Jewell at Liberty. Mo-
! The Moundbuilders and St Marys
play today at st. Marys. Passing
through Topeka the Southwestern lads
stopped on Monday afternoon ana

players were out to watch them
