Mr.. Hepworth. athletic director OF
the high school, was on the Washburn
athletic field Wednesday afternoon
giving the freshman team the once

was shaking his head In really seri-
Gus manner.
Two OF the high schools best play

urday against the WaShburn under
studies. Glass has an old injury on
his knee that he II trying to get rid OF
and Sergeant has been Ill. Besides.
the freshmen are said to have the best
team of a good many years. But ev-
erybody knows the highs will hand
out the best they have. and outside
predictions are that the fight will be
a close. hard one. Last year the
freshmen were defeated II to 0. and
only once in such length Of time
that the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary have the locals lost
to the Ichabod yearlings.
In discussing Saturdays game with

are expecting something"
Judging from the dope on the field.
however, It looks like the Baldwinites
will have to hump themselves to keep
their heads above water, even with
an all-Illinois man in the line.
Baldwin, Kan. Oct. S.-Baker will

will also accompany the team.
Wednesday night Gallager put his
team through q rough grilling. The
first squad succeeded in running in
Coach Gallager il working out several
new plays, which he will try out in
the Baker-Washburn game. The Bak-
er team which will go against Wash
burn will average ITO pounds.
Wednesday afternoons Ichabod
practice consisted Of a grinding scrim-
mage between the first team and
scrubs and the first team and fresh
worked well in the back field. and
Bearg's gains were the big features.
McCash, Champeny and Mccafferty
also made a pretty good back trio,
with little Chempeny the leading man
by a good majority. Billings, Stewart
and Janney on the left wing Of the
line held their own well and remained
impregnable with moro regularity
than the right wing. Barrett and
Linge both worked in center Wednes-
day.
Two OF the Ichabods lost their wind
in the hard scrimmage and were CIV

Lindley spilled his when Stewards
heel landed in his dinner basket. and
Page had a blowout in a pile scrim-
mage.
One place where the freshmen are
as good as the varsity any day in the
week is in the forward pass. He'll
makes a speciality of putting the ball
in the right place at the right time
and very seldom makes q complete
failure of his efforts. Kessler drew
the hogs share of rough handling
Wednesday afternoon but he played
on with his trousers still bagging and
his face covered with crimson and
mother earth.
In writing in the Chicago Evening
Post, Howard Mann says that the
open game, with long forward passes
and speed taking the place of beef
and line smashing, has finally been
accepted by the eastern football
coaches.
In last Saturdays games forward
passes from both open and mass for
nations were used by all the big
teams and the smaller elevens made
their best showing by the use OF the
open game.
It may be q matter Of coming to

ing day has Just rolled around at X.
III. At any rate. Coaches Wheaton and
Bond have begun to give the Jay
hawlcers forward pass practice and 1t
looks like Mr.. Wheaton's kicking game
icourtplaster has at last broken loose.
Those who saw last Saturdays game
with William Jewell had no trouble
| in discovering that the Jays were shy
on offensive plays, and this may be
the reason for the beginning of for
ward pass practice.
The Haskell Indians are said to
have a very high regard for the En-
poria squad and are predicting a bril-
liant season for them. Three of the
! Emporia players will be ineligible in
Saturdays game against the Kansas
Aggies but Coach Hargiss claims to
have substitutes 80 are almost as
good as the regulara
The Haskell $ are taking note
OF the fact that all OF their strongest
opponents this season were victorious
last Saturday by wide margins. Texas
university won her game 80 to o.
Louisiana piled up q 45 to o tally and
Notre Dame made a point-a-minute
score against Alma
