Tomorrow the Hays Normal eleven
meets Wesleyan at Hays Friday
Baker plays Ottawa at Ottawa and the
two Emporia teams clash. The Has
kell Indians, fresh from their southern
triumphs will take on the x. c. Vets
Saturday. The College of Emporia team
is reported to be suffering from vaccin-
atoms which they were made to take
after running against the smallpox at
Wichita.
1t is reported on good authority that
one Dan Cupid has joined the Wash
burn Ichabod football squad and that
ere Santa Claus makes lis annual
stocking visit the little trouble maker
will have plucked his plum and scored
the seasons victory. The affair is sup
posed to be a secret as yet and there
are no announcements out. For this
reason no names can be given. But
this much may be divulged: 1t ''ain't"
a freshman Dan is about to tackle. 1t
amt scrub or varsity player.
Neither is it-well. maybe it "ain't" and
maybe it am.
But if it am, in the words of the
country correspondent, We wish them
a long, ha- ~ and prosperous life filled
with many blessings. etc.
In preparation for the st. Marys game
the Ichabods practiced against mixed
squad of freshmen and high school
hopes Monday afternoon and the fros-
ty-whiskered atmosphere kept the play
ers on their toes while the scattering
spectators breathed through their mits
to keep them warm.
The st. Marys game will be played
Thursday afternoon and will start at 3

to be in good condition and they ex-
pect to pile up good score. Bearg
is in his best condition this season and
is now crowding the scales for $50
pounds. Sam Stewart has joint that
is not getting the proper fabrication and
Captain TrObert has a bad finger. but
otherwise there is very little complain
ing among them.
Washburn is confidently expecting
to carry off both the St. Marys and the
Aggie games. but they had better not
take too much of this confidence into
the games with them. The following
clipped from a Manhattan paper shows
thing in their Washburn windup:
The Aggies showed big improvement
in the use OF the forward pass Friday.
1t may be the means of defeating Wash
burn November 25.
The well known sport writer, Hal
Sheridan, is responsible for the fol-
lowing dope which is not intended for
people with weak hearts or pocket
books:
IT'S all off fellers. The dope has
been figured and Yale will beat Har-
ward Is to 0. You know the old wheeze
someone pulled to the effect that fig
ures don't lie, but this is not advising
bet on figures to appear herein and

In building up the fabric, it is first
necessary to point out that Michigan
beat the Michigan Aggies to o. Fol-
lowing this momentous event, Nebras-
ka beat the Michigan Aggies "a to 0,
making Nebraska q to better than
Michigan. Follow closely for South Da-
kota tied Nebraska and may therefore
also be credited with being Il to bet
ter than Michigan. That brings us to
a crucial point. SO We'll start new
paragraph.
"Notre Dame beat South Dakota SO
to o. Adding Il and 80, Notre Dame
must therefore be "a to 0 better than
Michigan. Notre Dame then journeyed
east. Yale beat Notre Dame % to and
by the dope is therefore 81 to better
than Michigan. And now comes the
crusher. Harvard defeated Michigan
by the measley score Of to 0. Hence
and therefore, Yale must be Is to
better than Harvard-and there you are.
(. This about represents the value OF
dope and figures which all pursue and
then stand idly by and see them spilled
over several acres when the actual COM
bat comes. In these wild days, the best
to expect when everything looks rosy
is jump in the opposite direction. Ev-
erything promises one OF the most in
teresting fights in years when Yale and
Jnzk
sort Harvard may have Charles Brick
ley's left foot educated well enough for
him to step in and take a shot at a
goal from field if the Crimson gets in
side the % yard line, but is unable to
advance further. Brickley will have a
month between him and his recent
visit to the hospital by that time. The
wound resulting from the operation
from appendicitis already permits the
swinging of the left foot against the
pigskin and Brickley smay. be expected
to take a shot If Harvard needs the
aid Of his unerring toe"
Manager Hamilton Of K. U. says it is
all mistake about the game with Mis-
souri, being called off. He says the
Jayhawkers will meet the Columbia I'll
gers and will do something else to them
besides.
The K. U. men doff their hats to Me-
braska and admit that they were sim
ply not in the Huskers' class. Coach
Wheaton is reported to have said that
Stiehm has the best football mechanism
he ever saw, and if the Nebraskans land
an intersectional post-season game with
the east, the Jayhawkers believe they
will win and will be found pulling for
them.
The Emporia bugs are all shet up
with excitement over the impending
game between the College of Emporia
and the Normalites. The dope is all
in favor of the Teachers, but there are
some mighty good men in the Granger
squad and there is no reason why the
