Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

Many football critics contend that
Guy Chamberlain, Nebraskas wonder
full end, is the greatest football player
the Missouri Valley ever focused peep
erS on.
Those who pick Chamberlain as the
greatest of the great do so with the
records of Johnny Bender, Wick Halli-
gan and all others before them,-and
they contend he is greater than them
all.
Jesse Harper, Notre Dame coach,
says that Chamberlain is an alI-Ameri-
can man, and a Lincoln report says
that Walter Eckersall will place him
on his all-WeStern.
But there is little chance that
Chamberlain will make. the all-Ameri-
can. Walter Camp usually picks the
all-American that stands the longest,
and Camp doesn't consider this section
of the country.
1t now seems that Willard may meet
Contender Fulton at New Orleans in
stead of Moran as was thought some
time ago when a contender was first
being sought. You see, Fulton Will be
easier meat" than Moran might
prove.
Drake university was the only Mis-
souri, Valley conference team that scor-
ed against the Nebraska champions
this season. The only other teams
that scored on the Huskers were Notre
Dame and Iowa.
Wichita is a town without scrupleS.
She will take anything she can get
that is loose. Having reported that
they have signed our Jimmy jackson,
the Wichita Wolves are now trying to
sign Guy Chamberlain, the Nebraska
football star.
Elmer Bearg's Washburn freshmen
were scheduled to play st. Mary's
freshmen at st. Marys this afternoon.
1t has been announced that fifteen
mem bers of the Washburn freshmen
will be given letters this year. In
years past, the only signs of merit the
freshmen have received were their
scars.
The awarding of Kansas confer
ence championship would be a simple
matter if c. of E. should win from
the Emporia Normals Thursday and
Cooper should lose her last game. But
if Normal and Cooper win, Baker will
probably have both of these schools
claiming a share of the honor with her.

KANSAS RECORDS
Many Disappointment in Sun
flower Football This Year.
No Team in the State Has a
Clean Record.

Most of the football teams in Kan
sas have completes their schedules,
and before the week closes all will
have put the moleskins away for an
other year.
Taking the teams as a whole, they
all have been more or less of a disap-
pointment, and not a single Kansas
team was able to come through the
season with a clean record. The best
record of any was that of little Coop
er college, which, to date, has only
lost one game. However, Cooper will
probably be nosed out of the confer
ence championship honors by most
critics because this defeat was by a
conference rival, while Baker univer-
sity, although twice defeated, has a
clear conference record.
NormaIs the Strongest.
Disregarding the scores and taking
the teams according to their strength.
the Emporia Normal so far undoubt-
eddy has proved the strongest eleven
in the Kansas conference. There is
little doubt but that Hargiss' Teach
ers could have licked either Cooper or
Baker at any time during the season.
Among the big disappointments of
the season were the three big schools
-Washburn, K. U. and the Aggies.
No one of the three came UP to ex-
pectations. Great things had been
expected of the Aggies, but Coach
Bender was unable to perform the
impossible by developing a champion
ship team out of ordinary material.
The same impossible conditions ex-
listed at Washburn and the Ichabods
had one of their worst seasons on
record. X u will come out better
than any of the trio if the Jayhawk-
ers are able to win from Missouri
Thursday in spite of the fact that the
Lawrence eleven was showed under
by Nebraska and lost to Oklahoma
ST. Marys also has had about as rotten
season as was possible. Records of
the more important Kansas teams, in
Guiding games of last week, are as

CHANGES IN NAVY LINE.
Middies Hold Stiff Scrimmage a
Preparation for Army Game.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 23.-Coach
Ingram and his assistants Monday
gave the Navy football team the stiff
est kind of a scrimmage against the
scrubs, during which many changes
were made, particularly in the line
positions.
AS a consequence of the easy way
in which Ursinus plowed through the
Navy last Saturday, three and possibly
four positions have been made uncer-
tain. The doubtful places are the two
ends, where Won Hein1berg and w.
places over Rlodgett and Jackson;
right guard. where a choice will be
made between Smith and Hoffman,
and center, where it is probable that
Goldstein may replace Jones.

half the regulars in the lineup the
Kansas varsity team tore the hitherto
strong defense of the freshmen 20
