Tomorrow the washburn football
team will leave for Lincoln. About
the best the Ichabod followers nope
for is to score on the Huskers.
The news has sifted out of Man
haitian that Coach Bender did not try
to win from Nebraska last saturday
He wants to spring surprise on f.
u, and therefore held his Aggies in
check at Lincoln. (Three chuckies!9
1t appears thafSthe Haskell Indians
are doomed to drop out of the major
football league When the red war
riors went under collegiate rules they
voluntarily faced the problem of hav-
ing to develop new teams every year
or so.
But it was undoubtedly a wise thing
to do And the Haskell authorities
are to be commended for their cour-
age in recognizing That the sport ele-
ment in football is greater and more
to be desired than teams that can beat
the big fellows"
The K U-Drake game at Lawrence
Saturday will be the biggest gr1d1ron
battle in the Missouri Valley. Many
Topekans are planning to visit Nc
Cook field to watch the Jayhawkers
battle against the strongest opponents
they have met this season. Dope from
the Nebraska-Drake game would in
dictate that Olcott's men will have
more than a horse play contest on
their hands.
Motorcycles within the pocketbook
range of all will soon be on the mar
ket A dozen makes of light motor
cycles, ranging in price from S1OO TO
$50 were put on display in an eX-
elusive motorcycle and bicycle show
in New York this week. The dollar
a-pound" pop-pop undoubtedly Will
become popular vehicle next year.
1t seems that the god, or the god
dess-or whatever it is that rules over
the realms of baseball is satisfied with
Boston as a depository for the hlgnest
diamond honor.
Any dopester will now tell you that
the PhilIies should have phailed and
phizzled just as they did. Alexander
was the only Moran man who was in
a class with the Crimson Hose, and
he was out of form II Would nave
been merely a victory for the horse
shoes if it had been otherwise.
Now that it is all over and the COW
ers have been tucked around oasepa
for the winter, a glance backward may
be permitted. Looking over the sea-
son the following facts seem to stano
out with a prominence that deserve
greater than it ever was; the American
| league is in a class by itself; ana the
Feds are still in existence.
| The fact that interest in the game is
greater than ever before was shown
| by the crowds in the cities where PEN
/ nants were won and by the crowds
that attended the title series. That
| the American league outclasSes the
National is proved by the results OF
the three big series in which the RED
Sox beat the Phillies, the White Sox
licked the Cubs, and the Browns wal
/ Hoped the Cardinals.
The Emporia Normals are planning
/ to give the Manhattan Aggies a hard
| tussle Saturday at Emporia, and the
news that Bender's boys are consid-
| erably crippled up is not causing any
grief in Bill Hargiss's town. However,
| bear dope from K. s. A. c. is more
| excusable this week than it has been
at any other time.
That Bender is a bear dope artist
is shown by the following article writ
ten by Ed Sherman upon the arrival
of the Aggies in Lincoln last week:
Johnny and his pets arrived al
l10:4O and buried themselves from
sight in the recesses of the hotel The
little coach, the manager and the
squad physician invaded the lobby to
talk thiEgs over with the Cornhusker
hackers. Some one remarked thai
some of the players as they hustled
through tie rooms looked pretty
husky.
They're the subs.' said Twister
glcomily. The squad physician came
