K.U. TO OKLAHOMA
The Jayhawker Coaches Expect
a Victory Saturday.
Students Gave the Squad a
Royal SendOff.

Lawrence. Kan, Oct. 29.-Coach
Beau Olcott: IF the fellows are on
their toes all the time. charge fast and
hard we will win from Oklahoma. If
they play slow, sluggish brand of
ball we will lose"
Coach Jay Bond said: IF all our
best men are in condition to start and
are going good I believe Kansas will
win
Captain Tony James: ''It looks
like fifty-fifty chance to me. They
will score but if we can stop their
passes we will get them
When Santa Fe train No. II pulled
night it carried the twenty-six men
from whom the Jayhawker team will
be picked Saturday.
Not since 1910 has a Jayhawker
eleven defeated the Sooners. In II, L 2
and '13 the Oklahoma team carried
away the long end of the score and
last year saw the two aggregations
battle to 6 to 16 tie. Did that tie
mark the turning point and is Kansas
going to slip the jinx and rout Bonnie
Owens proteges, is the big question
among the students. The squad will
stay in Oklahoma City until noon Sat
urday where they will work out this
afternoon.
Lineup Uncertain.
81 cannot give a lineup now be-
cause l do not know what the condi-
tions will be Saturday and do not
know who will be able to play said
Coach Olcott before the train left.
There are many slow injuries and we
cannot tell who we will start. James
has a broken arch, Lindsey's hip is
still badly swollen as result of the
bruises he received in the Aggie game,
Croft has been threatened with ma
laria fever all week and is in poor
shape and Keeling has little show of
playing because of his knee which was
hurt two weeks ago in the Drake
game"
Every K. U. student is pulling for a
victory and pep has been flowing free
all week. Sleep has been impossible
in the student district the past three
nights and students have forsaken
books for rallies and the accompany
ing bonfires. A regular cheering sec
ton was formed at the field Thursday
afternoon when the tast practice was
staged and at $3.50 the students met in
South park to accompany the team to
the depot. The band was out and the
Hamilton Later the squad was load
ed into a tallyho and pulled to the de-
pot where a huge bonfire was started
and a snake dance put on.
The Men Who Went.
The men who went were: Reber,
Llewlyn, Heath, Wood Fitzgerald,
Nelson, B. Gillespie, Holt, Wilson,
Frost, Reidy, Hammond, Meyn, Pal
kowski, Robbins, Todd, L. Gillespie,
Peterson, Lindsey, Fast, Hartley, w.
Smith.
According to Coaches Olcott and
Bond the expense was all that pro-
hibited the taking of the entire squad
and the present plan is to take all the
men who stay out to Missouri.
A Haskell Shake Up.
Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 29.-Before
leaving with the Haskell football
squad for Dallas, Texas, where Sat
urday the game with the Texas Aggies
will be played, Coach Kennedy an
dams lineup Williams, who has
been playing regularly at right end,
was unable to make the trip because
of his injured ankle, which was
caused in the Creighton game, and
Kennedy is doubtful whether he will
be able to play during the remainder
of the season. In Williams place is
from the fullback position. Eli Slower
will play fullback instead of half
back, his place being taken by Lee
Evans, who has recovered from the
slight concussion of the brain which
he suffered in the Notre Dame clash.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 29.-Because

poria team will play no game Satur
