Who is who and what is what In
Kansas football?
What team is going to come out the
big end of the horn with champion
ship colors flying? What's the dope
Who's the favorite?
Although the gridiron season is
hardly he yer, and in spite OF the
fact that many of the most important
battles are :et to be won and lost,
close followers OF the game are be-
ginning to brood over comparative
scores and befuddle their brains with
deceptive dope facts"
What the Stars Say.
A Microscopic chart reading of the
fates Of the various teams shows the
following,
Washburn has Mercury on the as
cendent in Aire~ making the team
quick, impetuous, delighting in dra-
matte formances and penetrating.
But Mars in the fourth house. squared
to Mercury, denotes heavy troubles In
fidence in dealing with Teachers and
men of agricultural pursuits.
K. u. has Neptune, tn hidden PLAN
ct. rising and Mars in good aspect to
Hershel, which inclines to holiness
and self --fide:.ce as we'll as unex-
peCted successes ana 1a1lureS.
The Emporia Normals have Venus
in the velfth mundane house. which
tends to sue IS, but Saturn affecting
by a conjunction denotes great hopes
that are unattainab1e.
The Aggies are ruled by the moon
in the ascenGent and the sun in Op-
position to Hershel. The former in
dicates precision in scientific accom-
plishments but the latter tends to-
wards a life of varied vicissitudes.
The -'uling planets of ST. Marys'
horoscope are void OF aspects except
the moon, which is in opposition to
the mid-heaven. afflicted by a parallel
with Mars md a semi-sextile with
Saturn, all of which tend to bring one
misfortune close upon the heels Of an
other.
Washburn Chances.
However. aside from the indications
of the stars, the comparative scores
and the dope sheets. it looks as
though Washburn will have to defeat
the Emporia Normals before she can
consider herself in the running. To
gain an undisputed title, the Wash
burn team ought to clean up the Ag-
gies.
AS the standing now shows. the
Normal team has held the Aggies to a
tie. and should Washburn win from
the Normals and lose to the Aggies.
to the honors in spite Of the advan-
tage the Ichabods would have.
But it is safe to sey that the two
big battles remaining to be played on
Kansas gridirons will be between
Washburn and the Hargiss Teachers
and Washburn and K. U.
The Teachers one supreme ambition
of the season is to win from Wash
burn, and the same is more or less
true of Washburn's X. u. desires. The
Normals will make the fight Of their
lives Saturday against the Ichabods,
and the Ichabods will do the same
thing on November z when they meet
X. u. For this reason 1t behooves
washburn to be up and doing Satur-
day to keep the under dog from get
ting on top. and then to repeat the
performance November Z, when she.
as the under dog, attempts to climb
skyward.
To those who indulge in compare
tive scores, the following results Of
the games played SO far this season
will probably be Of interest:
