Stars With Minor Injuries May
Not Face Teachers.
Officials for TOmOrrOW'S Game
Have Been Announced.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. S.-Coach
Beau" Olcott's Jayhawkers will end
the weeks preparation for their game
with the Emporia Normals tonight
with light signal practice. The line
up that will face the teachers has not
been picked as yet, but will probably
be the same that opened the William
Jewell game, with one or two excep-
tions. Lindsay and Gillespie, two of
the Kansas backs are out of the game
with injuries and Captain James is
nursing a weak knee that may keep
him out of the fray.
The team went through a forty-five
minute scrimmage with the freshmen
used, but line bucks and off tackle
SmaSheS were depended upon to adj
vance the ball most of the time. The
feeling around the Jayhawker camp
is that Coach Olcott would rather suf-
fer defeat at the hands of the Har-
gisS squad than to run the risk of
further Gripping the regulars who are
already suffering from minor inju-
rieS.
The officials for tomorrow's game
are: Hoover, of Baker, referee; Ru-
pert, of Michigan, umpire, and Coch-
ran, of the Kansas City Journal, head
Hnesman.
Nebraska Not Overconfident.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. S.-The Corn
huskers, who will oppose the Kansas
Aggies Saturday on Nebraska field
will probably present a slightly al
tered lineup than the aggregation
which allowed Drake to register a pair
of tOuchdOwnS on it last Saturday.
While Head Coach Stiehm is not MAX
ing any predictions as to what men he
will send in at the start of the game,
an inspection of the HuSkerS' work
ouIS this week indicates that there is
likely to be a slight shift.
StiehIn has been working Galley at
quarter this week, and the little field
Il L, III
showing last week, after he replaced
Cook, may start the game. In the
line Stiehm is making desperate eff
forts to plug the holes. He worked
Shields at guard one night in place
of Donegan, shifting the lineman over
tackle position Shields formerly held
down.
Bear" dope emanating from the
camp of the Kansss Aggies is not
catching any suckers in the Nebraska
camp. Cornhusker followers have
seen the Aggies in action and report
that theer is nothing to the report of a
big hospital list, and the news that
the Aggies are light and puny is
scoffed at. The Aggies have a we'll
balanced team is the official report
with the backfield registering almost
equal poundage with the line. Skin
ner and Hartwig, who were reported
on the hospital list and unable to par
ern last week were the liveliest per-
formers on the AggieS' lineup. The
team will average over 40 pounds to
the man and this is a figure little
below that registered by the Ne
braskans
The Nebraskans are rot a hefty
bunch this year, and the Kansas Ag-
gies, rate light, will tip the scales
close to the poundage totaled by the
Nebraskans, the coach pointed out.
Official reports have the Aggies
weighing over ITO pounds on the av-
erage, while the Nebraskans will bare
ly average IT'S pounds. No secret is
made of this in the Nebraska camp
and when. Johnny Bender sends his
men onto the field Saturday afternoon
they will face line that will weigh
1921 pounds for an average of 1S9
pounds per man and a backfield
weighing $40 pounds, or an average of
80 pounds per man, team average
of a scant ITS.
The latest dope from Manhattan
says that Bender is not counting on
winning the Nebraska game, but the
Cornhusker rooters know that the eX-
Nebraskan is one of the trickiest
coaches in the Missouri valley con-
ference, and while he is hoping to
triumph over the Kansas Jayhawkers
he would incidentally like to take an
other swipe ct his alma mater, as
when he coached the Haskell Indians
to a victory a few years ago. Bender
reports that Sullivan, lis quarter;
Hartwig, his fast back, and Wright,
his center, are all cut of the game
with injuries.
