And that's the wonderful 'Pinky'
Beals, K. U. correspondent said in
the press box Saturday. IF he had
only come here to go to school he
would have been one of the most ia
nous players in the Valley
Also, Sam Stewart received a good
ly share of praise from the spectators
because of his great defensive play
ing. But it is doubtful if either
'Pinky' or Tiny Sam" was sorry he
was not a Jayhawker Saturday night.
The dopesters contend that satur-
days game indicated little that would
help in judging K. us strength
against Nebraska. But on working
the forward pass and in covering up
the Ollcotites looked pretty weak.
1t would be the most popular vic
tory in the west if the Jayhawkers
could win by half the score they piled
up on Washburn, but it also would be
one of the biggest surprises of the
season.
A large crowd of teachers who will
be here attending the state convention
will be expected at the Washburn-
Aggie game Friday. 1t is understood
that an effort will be made to have
the Emporia Normals play here next
year during the convention, as many
of the teachers have formerly been
students at the Emporia school.
The Ichabod-C of E. game will be
played at Emporia Thursday week.
There has been a great deal of mis-
understanding regarding this game,
some thinking it would be Friday and
some Saturday, but Coach Gray is
authority for the Thursday announce
nent.
The close score to which Henry
Kendall held the Oklahoma Sooners
Saturday was a big surprise to most
people. In fact there were many who
had never heard of Kendall, which
shows how a good football team adj
Vertises a school.
And speaking of football advertising
a school calls to mind a statement a
Lawrence man made after last Satur-
days game. He said: 1.-The poor foot
ball showing Washburn is making this
year must be hurting the endowment
campaign considerably"
One of the best evidences that K. U. |
will have her hands full with Ne |
braska Saturday is furnished by COM
parative scores. Nebraska defeated |
Notre Dame by one point, and last |
Saturday Notre Dame defeated the |
strong Army team, to O, which |
shows that Nebraska stacks up well |
with the big Eastern eleVens
K. U. should have little fear of |
suffering defeat at the hands of |
Missouri this year. The way that /
Northwestern, one of the most con-
SiStent losers in the whole country, /
walloped the Missourians shows that |
the Tigers haven't very much.
The football situation in the far
East took on a different aspect Sat
urday when Pitt defeated Washing
ton and Jefferson, 10 to o, and Har-
ward took the big end of a 10 to 6
score with Princeton.
Yale now occupies the same foot
ball berth the st. Joe baseball club
occupied at the close of the Western
league season. For the second time
in % years Brown put one over on
Old Eli last Saturday. 1t was the
fourth Yale defeat of the season.
1t is rumored that ''Hurry-up' Yost
may resign as Wolverine Mentor.
CornelPs "a to victory over the Ann
Arbor eleven last week was a blow to
the whole West, and Yost is certain
to set his share of the blame.
Enterprise is supposed to be the
thing these days, and to be a better asset
for one seeking worldly honors than
hope. But it is shown elsewhere on
this page that such is not always the
case. The Hope high school team
the Enterprise highs Friday
by the score OF AZ to o.
1t now seems that Pitt has the best
title to the Eastern championship,
and Walter Camps statement that
she has the best team in the whole
