Tnere - nothing out hard Work anea0
for the Ichab0ds IL they expect to con-
tinue their triumphant march to an un-
disputed supremacy in Kansas football.
There Ii no time for gloating over past
vtctories-no time for soldering on the
job. Every member Of the team will
have to be up and doing from now un-
I'll the close of the season with just one
hard battle after another ahead of
them. and for this reason Grip" Gray
is training overtime and putting his
players through q regular man-making
grind.
MIR. Gray knows and is trying to inn
press the fact on his men that next
Saturdays game is one Of the most inn
portant of the season and must be
won. A slump like the team took dur
ing the Baker and Warrensburg games
would be most disastrous and would
practically put the team out Of the
conference running. There will be stin
practice on Washburn field every after
noon this week and the team should be
in prime condition by Saturday.
Emporia, Kan. Oct 27-Coach "BilP'
Hargiss began pointing his team Mon
day for the Washburn game Saturday.
The Blue now looks to be conference
champs in embryo, and while the Nor
NAL is not in the conference. Hargiss
will try his best to beat the Ichabods.
The Normal is being drilled in attack,
the defense having met every test made
on it during the games thus far this
season.
Ladner looks to be Hargiss' fastest
backfleld man, and the Teachers at
tack will be built around this speed
merchant. There are half dozen fast
men to alternate at the other halves,
chief among them being Shupe. Belt
ing, Dewey, Trusler and Hendrickson.
The Teachers emerged from their
easy game with st. Marys in fine
shape. Shupe has bruised leg as the
only injury worth notice. but Hargiss
believes he will be ready for the Wash
burn battle. Hargiss' men did not
open up any of their formations in
the game with the Catholics.
The Normal bleachers are being en-
larged and put into shape to receive a
big crowd for what is to be the feature
game Of the season Saturday.
Next Saturday Bonnie Owens will in
wade the Jayhawker camp at Lawrence
with his Oklahoma eleven and a great
contest is anticipated. This game will
be the big drawing card of the week on
Kansas gridirons and a good battle is
brewing. Last year Oklahoma won by
score Of Fl to z. but the Jayhawkers
are not expecting any such humiliat-
ing defeat this season and are working
hard in preparation for the fight.
In order to accommodate Topeka bugs
who will want to see this game, the
Santa Fee will offer extra accommoda-
lions on its regular train. leaving here
at 1:25 sharp.
Mr.. Lowman's Manhattan Aggies will
journey to Columbia. Mo-, Saturday and
do battle with the Tigers. The Aggies
have suffered two crushing defeats
within the past two weeks at the hands
of heavier teams. They will also be
handicapped in the Missouri battle, but
Lowman's men may always be ex-
their games and there is a possibility
that they will slip one over on the Mis-
sourians.
saltwater, Okla. Oct. 27.-Hammer-
ing down the splendid defense OF the
tiers, the Oklahoma A. and M. team de-
feated the Texans here Monday by the
