A THREE-CoRNERED DISPUTE.
Cooper College Claims She Deserves
State Championship Title.

Sterling, Kan, Nov. 3O.-Consider-
ing the wonderful record of its foot
ball team, Cooper college feels that it
should be given due consideration by
the Kansas conference championship
committee when awarding the 1915
state championship.
Being a member of the conference
which is composed of fifteen colleges,
Cooper contends that any institution
which meets eight of the other mem
bers should merit as much or even
more consideration than those which
only schedule games with four other
colleges of the conference.
Cooper feels that by scheduling
eight conference games it took just
twice as many chances of defeat as
either Baker or the State Normal, who
each scheduled four games. They
therefore contend that the Friends
game, which was the only game
Weede'S men lost, should not neces-
sarily completely eliminate them when
reckoning the state champions. Meth
er Baker nor the State Normal defeat
ed Friends and there is no certainty
they could have done so. Cooper's
victory over Kansas Wesleyan. which
had in turn beaten Friends, 13 to O,
establishes Cooper's abb "of a team
