GAMES THIS WEEK
Washburn Hopes to Spring
Surprise on Jayhawkers.
Haskell Indians Meet "Big
Nine" Team Saturday.

Football enthusiasm at Washburn
college is destined to reach the sea-
sons zenith before the end of this
week, and the Ichabods, strengthened
by the confidence their to tie with
the NOrmalS last week gave them, will
go to Lawrence Saturday determined
to give the X U. JayhawkerS their
biggest surprise of the season.
Pep meetings and ginger tests are
scheduled to monOpolize student &C
tivities at Washburn during the week,
and every effort will be made to show
Grip Gray's warriors that they will
be expected to do wonders" and to
make the Olcott feathers droop lower
than Oklahoma did.
But Bearg and 'Trobe' will not be
in the game" the pessimists remind
the Hoping Ones. And the Hoping
Ones only smile and assert that Pinky
Beals ard Sam Stewart and Chamber
lain and Villipigue will be there and
that the rest of the m will be there,
stronger than they have ever been
since the season first began.
The Dope On X. U.
Plain facts and figures indicate to
the unbiased observer that K u
should WIN by every law and precedent
of the game. The Jayhawkers de-
feated the Emporia Normals, 81 to
early in the season; K. u. walloped
the Aggies, IS to z and the Normals
only won from the Aggies by a 3 to
score. But the true optimists pay
little regard to dope, and confine
themselves to the arguments that
Oklahoma broke the spirit of the
Kansans and that the Ichabods will
enter the game more confident of
themselves and better prepared than
they have ever been. The fact that
the Emporia NOrmalS average about
as mucl. in weight as K. u. is one OF
the arguments advanced why the Jay
3nawkers should have little terror for
Washburn.
The Washburn-K. U. game prom
ises to be the most interesting con-
test in the valley this week. The Ne
braska Spot Light Hogs will play
practice game Saturday with the Ne
braska Wesleyans and there will be
little interest in this affair outside of
the state lines.
Indians VS.. Chicago.
The biggest interstate game of the
week in which a Kansas team will
participate will be the Haskell-Chi-
cago clash at Chicago Saturday
There is little chance that DR.. Ken
nedy's Red Skins will be able to do
much with Stages looming big Nine"
champions, but the reputation the In
dams have for putting up stiff fight
against all opponents insured good
ly interest in the clash.
The Kansas Aggies this week ex-
pect to have an easy time defeating
the Friends eleven at Manhattan Sat
urday, and Manhattan is now turning
her attention to the game with wash
burn Friday week here. Today St.
MaGy's crippled squad will attempt to
stop the victorious sweep of the
Cooper team.
Teachers at X. c.
One of the most evenly matched
games of the week will be the one
played at Kansas City between the
Emporia and Warrensburg Normals
HargiS's men should win from ''Phog''
Aliens Missourians, doping from the
Washburn records of both teams, but
the weight and aggressiveness of the
two teams should insure a hotly con-
tested battle.
Baker university is booked to play
Southwestern at Winfield Friday, and
Lindsborg will meet Kansas Wesleyan
Saturday. The most holly fought Kan
sas conference battle will probably be
between G of E. and Paramount at
F,rnDoria Saturday
