In tackling K. U. players the lena
bods should remember that the bigger
they are, the harder they fall.
If the Washburn players use their
heads and show their grit they will
have chance. But if they get nerv-
Gus like a lot of women, the god of
gridirons pity them!
1t is expected that 500 students, ac-
companied by the band, will go to
Lawrence to see the game. Also, a
large number of followers from the
city are expected to accompany the
team.
FuIlback Forbes, of the 1913 team.
has been in the city for the past two
days giving the Ichabods the twice
over. He will stay over for the game
tomorrow.
Henry Sullivan was knocked ''batty''
in scrimmage one night this week, and
what do you suppose he raved about
while out of his head? Well. it wasn't
football, it wasn't his studies, and it
wasn't anything of a masculine ma
ture.
In Quarterback Baker the Ichabod
Yearlings have the best football player
for his pounds that has been at Wash
burn in quite a while. And in Will
son, Callahan and Hope they have
three corking good men.
The freshmen will play the Lecomp-
ton Athletic club on the 18th, the ST.
Marys freshmen on the 23d. and it is
possible they will schedule a game
with the hifh school on the 18th.
Today it is as impossible to dope the
Washburn lineup that will face the
JayhawkerS tomorrow as it was a
week a iC mr. hl a Mt a
Beals will start the game at half.
Probably Billings, possibly McCosh or
Sullivan, will start at quarter.
villipigue undoubtedly will start in
at full. Champeny, Chamberlain, Nc
Gosh and one or two others are eX-
pected to be sent in at halves. The
end positions will be played by New
ell, Bailey and probably Billings.
Since the poor showing the players
have been making this week, Wash
burn followers are not now talking
very much about winning, but are
merely hoping that the team can hold
the Ollcotites to a small score.
The far west seems to be too great
for the finite mind to grasp it's great
ness. Washington university's eleven
boasts that it has not been defeated
in ten years. And among the easy
marks for Washington is the team of
the Oregon Aggies.
Here is the glazing dope: Wash
ington defeats the Oregon AggieS;
Oregon trims the Michigan Aggies 20
to O; the Michigan Aggies wallop the
Wolverines "a to 0: and Syracuse de-
feats the Wolverines only IA to z; and
Princeton humbles Syracuse by the
small score of 8 to 0. From these
scores how do you figure the Washing
ton team would stack up against the
other big fellows?
The idea of having baseball play
ers sign IL month contracts instead
of season obligations is gaining pop
ularity just like the system of num-
bering football players did. But it
seems that the players will eventually
have to come to it.
Transforming trips, trap shooting
ball players teams and other post
season stunts are giving the sport
world too much baseball salt. They
are hurting the game, and it is more
than probable that some steps will be
taken to make them hunt obscurity
when the playing season is over.
Another argument in favor of max
ing the players go home to their fam
lilies after the close of the season is
that they take chances of getting hurt
in their post-seaSon activities and
