K. u. BOWL
McCOOk Field Not Big Enough
for Thursdays Crowd.
Largest GridirOn Gathering
Kansas Ever Saw Predicted.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 2S.-W. Q.
Hamilton, athletic manager at Kansas
university, has given assurances that
tn largest football crowd ever gath
cred around one contest in Kansas will
be packed into McCook field Thurs
day for the big Jayhawker-Tige clash,
and the number of spectators will be
limited only by he seating capacity of
the stands. So great has been the de-
mand for seats that many ere talking
of the urgent need of a large stadium
on the university grounds.
Approximately 10000 tickets have
already been sold and it seems certain
that the remaining 5000 will be in
sufficient to meet the dems- nds of the
large crowds that will col in from
Topeka, Kansas City and ether sur
rounding towns. 1t has been reported
that fully 5000 fans will come down
from Kansas City for the big game.
Predict Close Game.
Predictions of one of the closest
games in the history of the annual
clashes continue to come from both
the K. L. and the Missouri coaches
and dopesters, and unless some uneX-
pected misfortune befalls one of the
teams there is every reason to believe
the predictions will be lived up to.
The report that the Tigers plan to
use Bob Simpson their track hero of
international fame, does not disturb
the K L. men in the least. Few be-
lieve that Simpson will get in the
game unless the Tigers are driven to
desperate methods. and if he does, all
believe he will find the going hard on
account of the fact that he is not
seasoned gridiron veteran and is re-
ported to be little over weight.
Jayhawl<ers in Trim.
The K. L. eleven is running smooth
er than it has at any time this sea-
son. and with all the men in shape.
the coaches are confident Missouri will
have to play a bang up game to hold
them down. Lin1sey's punting is ex-
pected to give the locals a decided adj
vantage, and if the backfield shows
the same battering ability it did
against Nebraska and the same con-
centration it seems that it will be i'm
possible for the Missourians to put up
an impregnable defense.
The game will start promptly at

THE LAST BIG BATTLE
Brown and Colgate Will Wind Up
Their Schedules Thursday.

New York, Nov. 28.-Brown and
Colgate universities will put the last
touches to the new edges they have
filed on their cleats today. Thursday
they will come together in what all
experts except Lieutenant Daily of the
Army and Glenn Warner of Pittsburg
say is the battle for the eastern cham
pionship.
Just how Colgate could figure in a
championship is not stated, but it is
an undisputed fact, even by Warner
and LAZY. that Brown stands right at
the top and will continue to shoulder
Pittsburg and Army around all win
ter and up to next fall
Colgate went into training today at
Mansfield, Mass, where the men will
be given hard scrimmage and a rest
tomorrow. Browns heavy work is
over.

old LOVE LIVES
Former GridirOn Stars Nov
Playing Professional Game.
Ohio Gathering Place for Those
Who Can't "Swear OFF,"
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Professional
football is Turing back into the mole
skins many of the college gridiron
stars. of a year, two and more ago.
Ohio Gas been the particular mag
net A dozen professional teams
operate here, each representing some
city. There is much civic rivalry, and,
as a result each town vies with the
other in trying to secure the best tall
ent available. The graduated satel-
lites of Harvard, of Pittsburg, Car
Isle, Pennsylvania and other big col
leges have answered the call and are
back again smashing human walls,
racing ends, punting. drop-kicking and
performing otherwise with all the
skill that made them famous during
their rah-rah days.
A week or two ago a game was
played in Cleveland which brought to-
gether two professional teams. Listed
among the eligibles for that fray were
such men as:
Thorpe (Carlisle), soucy (Harvard)
Williamson (Pittsburg), Wilkinson
(Colgate), Neill (Pennsylvania), Wag-
ner (Pittsburg), Hunter (CoIgate),
King (Notre Dance, Gordon (Vir-
ginia), Garlowe (Carlisle), Butler
(Wisconsin), Whitaker Gndiana),
Martin and Gardner (Georgetown),
Hanley (Pittsburg), Finn (Pennsyl-
vania).
Is Willard Fat?
After months of industrious train
ing, Jess Willard was able to make
PAT pounds for his Jack johnson
fight.
The best Willard could do in the
reducing line for the Frank Moran
quarrel was 259, a1tho he exercised
violently for about six weeks.
And now, after six months of cir
Gus idling. how much do you think
he weighs?
"27O-and not an ounce more"
says Tom Jones.
"30O-easy," said Jim Cofforth.
"350-or more" declared a fight
fan who saw Willard recently

Gipp performed the trick in a game
against the Western Normal school

in the fray he attempted a "dropper"
from the 50yard mark, but the effort
fell short Later on Gipp got the ball

Much Expected of Old Veterans
in AggieviIIe Battle.

Washburn college football circles
are presenting a brand new aspect to
the gaze of the public this week. No
predictions are being made as to the
outcome of Thursdays game against
the Aggie wildcats. Neither conf
dence nor a broken spirit is in evil
dence and the only thing Coach Ken
nedy and his men seem to have time
Tor is hard work.
Frankly Wash burnites have moth
ing to say about the outcome of the
ready licked when some wise one
tells them that they haven't chance
to win. And this grim attitude. if it
continues, is liable to make the Ken
nedy men fight harder and put up a
better game than they have at any
time since the season started. With
backs against the wall, there is hope
and a possibility that Captain Stew
arts team will show more unity of &C
ton. more team work and more all
around football than could be dis
covered in any of its recent games.
Hold Aggies in Esteem.
Reports have come from Manhattan
that the Aggies, surcharged with over
confidence, have been loafing and that
they will be far from the pink of con-
dition, but DR.. Kennedy is not taking
these reports into consideration and
he is working as tho he expected the
Clevenger machine to be at its best.
The only thing that can keep the
present season from being one of the
most disastrous in Ichabod history is
good showing Thursday. Out of eight
games that have been played, only two
have been won, and Captain Stewart,
Art Champeny, Jay McCosh and the
other men who will be wearing the
moleskins for the last time are eX-
pected to exert themselves to the last
ounce of energy to hold the Wildcats.
Scrimmage Is Light.
That Stewart and McCosh will be in
the game seems certain, but they will
be in a crippled condition and
Church" Sargent has no chance to
play. 1t is said. The injuries that have
played such a prominent part in the
last two defeats are further handi-
Gaping the squad by keeping the
coach from the much needed scrim-
mage practices that he had planned,
but everything that can be done to
round the squad into battle shape is
being tried.
In an effort to get better results out
of the forward pass plays Champeny
has been drafted to the ranks of the
passers and Hope may get to try his
hand at fli1ging the ball before it is
over. 1t is realized that only by a
dazzling open game can the Ichabods
hope to score.

This column will not attempt to pick
an all-Missouri Valley team this season
because of the fact that few of the
teams have been seen in action, it would
be too much like doing the Walter Camp
to do so. However, it does not take a
close study of the players on the several
teams to pick some of the men who will
certainly get berths.
Wells and Randels, of the Kansas Ag-
gies, certainly are as good as any man in
biased judges undoubtedly will concede
that Randels ranks above all other ends.

shown that he is in class by himself
Captain Corey, of Nebraska, is surely
entitled to a place on the all-myth aggrega-
ton. ana it is doubtful if there is a better
center in the valley than Moser, of the
Huskers. Galley and Otoupalip also might
be given serious consideration.

in Captain Adrian Lindsey and number
of other men, including Fast, Woodward,
Shinn and Burton. who have done valuable
work for the Jayhawkers thruout the l.
