Jayhawker battle, Washburn and the
Kansas Aggies will settle their yearly
argument WaShburn field. This
game promises to be a closer fight
than the one at Lawrence, but much
will depend upon the way the Icha-
bods come out of Lawrence tonight.
If the IchabodS suffer no serious &C
cidents today they should meet Ben
der's men on an equal footing Many
of the delegates to the State Teach
ers convention will be spectators at
the Washburn game.
Aside from the Lawrence and To-
peka games, the most important book
ings for the week in Kansas will be
the Cooper-C. of E. game at Sterling,
the st. Marys- Ottawa game at st.
Marys and the Southwestern-Friend
game at Winfield.
Also, the Emporia Normals are
scheduled to meet Haskell at EN-
c. U. at Olathe, Pittsburg Normal to
meet Paramount at Pittsburg and
Kansas Wesleyan to play Hays Nor
NAL at Salina-
Missouri university next week will
play Drake at Columbia. The big
games in the east will be: g. of
Penn. against Michigan, at Philadel-
phia; Yale against Princeton, at New
Haven, and Syracuse against Col
gate at Syracuse.
A Princeton victory today will
make the Eli-Tiger affair a very in
teresting one with Yale the under
dog. And the Syracuse-Colgate af-
fair is already a big event. Harvard
tangles with Brown next week.
The coming weeks bill in the big
Nine" will be a hard problem for the
dopesters. ulini and Wisconsin battle
at Urbana, and Chicago and Mime
sofa at Minneapolis. Wisconsin's fail
ure to defeat Chicago and Minnesotas
tie with Illini upset the dope last
week.
Tom Powell, the round football pro-
moter of Topeka, announces he has
written to K U. in an effort to get a
soccer game for his Santa F'es with
the Jayhawkers for Thanksgiving,
and that if he fails to schedule one,
he will bring a K. c. team here Tur-
key day. The Santa Fe team will
practice tomorrow afternoon.
And who ever thought that Jimmy
Jackson would masquerade in the
toys of a wolf? 1t is report that !
Topekans find it hard to stand for
Jimmy came to Topeka unknown
to most of the fans. His fight and
his smile, enabled him to worm his
way into the hearts of every one. In
a few short months he became one
of the most popular baseball men |
the city ever had.
It is hard to believe that Sir James, !
who fought for the Savages through |
thick and thin-who was ever the fac |
tor that kept them in the running
will come to Topeka that loved him
so well and wear the uniform of a |
Wolf. But if he does, which we
doubt, we hope the Savages show him
what a chance he missed to lead the.
next Western League champions. /
Otherwise, we wish him well.
The latest Federal League rumor is |
that the Lunch Counter circuit will /
disband if the good fellows who are +
heavily involved can buy into the /
other big leagues. And those who I
are on the inside say that the o. B. /
Magnates have a sort of sympathy for I
some of the good fellows"
