ueSOdy AFTERNOON lOOAe0 IKE real
training camp. Coach Gray took the
two sets Of baclkhelds and gave them
some much needed interference prac-
tice. Dean Rogers and DR.. Ernest held
school on one corner Of the field with
the linemen as scholars and this part
Of the work was very profitable. All
of the men were hooked to the bucking
machine and made to shoulder 1t up
and down between the goal posts. Then
the first team and scrubs scrimmaged
hard and fast.
There is considerable improvement
in the teams interference work and
the cayenne is a little more in evidence.
However, the Good Old Dope still
makes Emporia the favorite in Satur-
days game and Good Old Dope is the
kind of fellow that requires tall hus-
Ting to down. G. o. d. has it figured
contest they will be given the favorite's
place in the championship. But IL they
lose they will be dumped in the field
with the other dark horses and will have
little chance of coming under the wire
first.
By playing their best Trobert's men
ought to be able to win, but there is
no gravy train on the schedule and
bowery hunks of roses will not lead to
victoryville. Mr.. Gray himself realizes
the Importance and difficulties Of this
game. and II the men only work as
OOOS SS~AA~Ss 100000
what they are, will be nothing to be
ashamed of.
This afternoons scrimmage will prob
ably be the last practice before the
battle The field is in excellent con-
dition and with the weather mans as
sistance Saturdays contest ought to be
q great one. Grouches, gloom sots and
slaves as well as football bugs, Topeka
boosters and Washburn supporters
out to make it a point to see this
game. 1t will be worth the money
from an athletic standpoint and will be
a better spirit bracer than ever came
out of glass or bottle. Besides. good
crowds make good football and good
football makes a better college and
better town. The game will be called
at p. m. Admission rs cents.

Football is one OF .the few lines Of
human endeavor in which the inside
and the outside of the head are used
simultaneously. The inside has to work
like thunder all the time and the out
side often has to strike like lightning in
line bucks and tackle plunges.
Six hundred and forty seats have
been reserved for the Aggie rooters at
McCook field for Saturdays Lawrence
game. This will be the first Missouri
conference for the Jayhawkers on NC
Cook field this season and the price OF
admission will be one iron man per
head.
Coach Wheaton is working his men
hard for the battle, and this week he
has issued orders for his men to re-
frain from imbibing COW juice. Mr..
Wheaton says milk makes men lazy.
Maybe it does. 1t makes calves ana
babies grow, but as the Jawhawkers are
neither. they ought to do little kick
ing The following news dispatch will
show how the Jayhawkers are working:
Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 22.-Despite
their crippled condition the Jayhawkers
are showing excellent form in their
practice in preparation for the Kansas
Aggie game next Saturday. On offensive
play the men showed up remarkably
well, carrying the JAIL down the field
almost at will Wednesday. They used
some new plays for the first time and If
they work as well Saturday as they did
Wednesday night the Aggies will have
their hands full. When the Indians
took the ball the Kansans put up a
stiff defense and were able to make the
running difficult for Kennedy's backs.
Powell, the star Of the Haskell team,
was injured on the head in the scrim-
mage and had to be taken out of the
practice.
The Kansas coaches are taking no
chances on the Manhattan game. They
know that the Aggies fight harder
against K. U. than they do against Ne
braska and consequently are giving the
varsity the hardest kind Of a workout
in preparation for the contest.
Mr.. G. o. Dope mentioned above.
states Nebraska for the Missouri Valley
title, Illinois for the Western Confer
ence championship and Washburn for
the Kansas honors, II the Ichabods beat
Emporia Saturday. The form sheet on
the Michigan-Harvard event is rather
complicated and uncertain. Also, since
Brickley has dropped out. Harvard
stock has taken tumble and 1t looks
as though the eastern trio will have to
fight it out to a finish with odds about
even. Harvard was the big favorite be-
fore Brickley quit. Within the past
week Yale has whipped up considerably.
Princeton is also working hard.
The Manhattan and Junction City
high school teams will play at Junction
City tomorrow. Both teams are good
and carry some promising football men
and the game should be a good. close
one.
Princeton. N J.. Oct z2.-with the
Dartmouth game only two days ahead
the Tigers are using their daily prac-
tice for all it's worth. They scrimmaged
an hour and ten minutes Wednesday
and during that time were faced by
three different elevens. In the first Is
minutes against the regular scrubs the
varsity scored two touchdowns, mainly
through Saws accurate forward pass
ing and the superb running of Click
Against another eleven made up of
varsity substitutes the first team failed
to show up go we'll and was scored on
when Latrobe blocked a kick on the
z5-yard line and ran over the goal line
with the ball.
