entire varsity squad will make the trip

freshman squad with free tickets has
been made, though the first year men
VIII have to furnish their own trans
portation
Several members of the varsity
squad are planning to go on to Law
renee Saturday, to see the big Ne
braska-K. U. game. Coach Bender
himself will see the game at Law
renee.
The coach is reticent as to the con-
dition of the men and the prospects
for defeating the Ichabods. I'VE are
looking for a hard game, since the
total victories are in favor of Wash
burn," is about the limit of the in
formation which he is passing out.
In the opinion of many of the
rooters, the Al to defeat admins
tered to the Ichabods by the K U.
men, doesn't mean whole lot.
Washburn has always regarded the
game with the Aggies as somewhere
near the elimination of their football
season, and have been in the habit of
playing the Manhattan men with all
the pep in their systems
Hence the Aggies do not feel en-
t1rely happy and peaceful over the
prospects for the game, and will not
relax their efforts in anticipation of
a snap.

Meeting at Frisco Tuesday.

San Francisco. Cal, Nov. 1O.-The
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues opened its annual
meeting here Tuesday with a brief
session, which was adjourned in mem
DRY of Judge w. w. Kavanaugh, for
mer president of the Southern league.
NO business was transacted.
The appointment of various COM
mittees to handle the work of the
convention was scheduled for today,
as was the introduction by Secretary
]. H. Farrell of a resolution to extend
from February L to March 1, the time
limit on the acceptance of players
contracts.
The question of the regulation of
salaries was expected to be one of the
most important matters before the
convention at its session today. Com
menting on baseball conditions Presi-
dent Michael Sexton, said:
For several years have anticipated
that it would take a catastrophe such
as we have suffered to bring the
owners to their senses and make them
realize that they have thrown their
money away. Not alone III salary linn
it's but with other expense accounts
such as the cutting down of spring
training can we economiZe."

ON THE NORMAL TEAM.
Marion County Has Three Football
Stars on Hargiss Eleven.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 10-Marion
county is furnishing more than her
quota of men this fall on the heavy
football eleven of the Kansas State
Normal There are three Marion
county boys on the Normars regular
lineup. They are: Arthur Hirschler,
of Hillsboro, left half back; Eldon
Shupe, of Lost Springs, right half and
end; and Sam Smith, OF Florence, left
guard.
Hirsch1er was out of the first few
games with an injured shoulder.
Shupe, who has been doing most of
the punting, was out of the Wash
burn game, having hurt his hand in
the game with Southwestern. In the
recent game with the Aggies in the
last two minutes of play, Shupe inter
five yards to the Aggie's ten-yard line
from where a touchdown was scored
on the next play. Smith has been in
every game at left guard. ~---

CROFT NOW HURT
Fate Seems Determined to Keep
X. q. Star on Bench.
Gloom Is Again Settling Over
the Jayhawker Camp.
From Everywhere.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 1O.-The jinx
seems to keep after the K. u. foot
ball squad with disheartening persist
ency. Andy Croft, the star forward,
who returned to practice Monday
night after a week spent in fighting
an attack of malaria, turned his ankle
in Tuesday evenings scrimmage. The
injury will hardly keep him out Of
Saturdays game but will slow up his
dashes down the field under punts.
Secret practice is the program for
this week and the present plan is to
take the players to some quiet place
in the country Friday so that they
may secure a good rest before the
game. The practice Tuesday night
was very ragged ana the varsity found
it hard to solve successfully the attack
used by the freshman which consisted
of forward passes and wide end runs.
Fast, who has been playing a spec
tacular game at half whenever used
this season, is nursing a bruised and
wounded shoulder and will probably
have to go into the Nebraska game in
poor shape.
With his team weakened by in
that his men will show the Cornhusk-
ers a few things If he can get them to
play in their best form.
Huskers Want Big Score.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10.-A flock of
old time Cornhuskers is being urged
into camp this week to help Coach
Stiehm prepare for the battle Satur-
day with Kansas. One of the chief
dangers in the 'Husker camp is over
confidence. The football men will
have to be shown that they are going
up against a real enemy and that only
downright hard play will win from the
Jayhawks.
A scratchy victory will be hardly
better than a defeat. 1t would cinch
the valley championship, of course,
but it wouldn't mean a western cham
pionship. To attain that honor the
Cornhuskers must win decisively and
by a better margin than Oklahoma
was able to claim.
Captain Rutherford watched the
easy Jayhawk victory of last Saturday
and he is authority for the fnforma-
ton that Saturdays game will be the
big one of the Cornhusker schedule.
He was astonished at the ease with
which the Kansans rolled up a big to-
tai with substitutes carrying the ball.
1t is certain the captain won't encour-
ege any confidence talk around the
Nebraska campus.

SECRET PRACTICE
IchabOds Prepare for the Ag.
gies Behind Closed Gates.
Thanksgiving Game May Be
With the X. G.. Vets.

For, the first time in the past two
years, the Washburn Ichabods prac-
ticed behind locked gates Tuesday
night, preparing for the coming of the
Aggies Friday. When the word went
out from Coach Gray's office that Sc
cret practice would be held, players,
students and the spectators that have
been accustomed to watching the
gates were securely barred and edict
was enforced to the 1etter.
When asked Tuesday night for an
interview regarding the prospects for
victory over the Aggies, Coach Gray
replied in eloquent silence; but the
shaking his head indicated that he ex-
poets a victory. Several of the new
men did not use their heads as they
should last Saturday the coach said,
fault. and / feel sure they will come
out of that"
No Bear Dope.
Despite the overwhelming defeat at
Lawrence, there seems to be no in
clination at Washburn to bear the
1chabOd stock. The atmosphere seems
to be charged with confidence, and the
most pessimistic Washburnite found
Tuesday was Major Glueck who adj
mitted, the Aggies might hold US to a
tie, but L don't think they will"
The last hard scrimmage before the
game will be tonight. The final pep"
meeting will be held in chapel Friday
morning, at which every member of
the varsity and scrub team who has
attended practice faithfully will be
presented with a big blue flannel
blanket, decorated with an immense
white wv" This will be the first
time that every man on the squad will
get blanket, Coach Gray included,
and Major Glueck is given credit for
making this generosity possible by his
industry in digging up donations.
The Thanksgiving Game.
Regarding the Turkey Day game
there is still nothing definite, Coach
Gray says. However, it is understood
that negotiations are on with the K.
c. Vets and that if a game is played
it will be with the Vets in Kansas City.
Propositions have been made, and it is
now a question of whether or not the
Kansas Citians will make a guarantee
that will make the game worth while.
There is no chance to get a game
with either Cooper or Baker and the
Haskell Indians have filled their open
date by taking on the Henry Kendall
team. Advertising and tickets for the
Aggie game have been issued, and the
hour of the game announced as 8
o'clock.

other football game What's the mat
ter with taking on Yale?
OF course, the game could not be
played Thanksgiving, but it might be
arranged later on, just for the sport
of the thing. OF course, a victory
over the Eli now wouldn't bring very
much glory.
Baseball peace before the end of
the week seems possible. Ebbetts
at Frisco has predicted it; Comiskey
is said to be planning to attend the
Fed meeting, and other strange ru-

One of the most potent signs, how
ever, is the announcement that Buff
falo does not want her Fed club bad
enough to dig up 100000 bucks and
Kansas City, in spite of her Star, is
about to loose her Packers. All in
all, it looks like the Lunch Counter

Cornell, Pittsburg and Colgate.
All of these teams have made

attention because of the smallness of
the school. Along Colgate's victims

addition Colgate is the only school

if there is anything that Grip dis
