Altho the field was a bit heavy and
soggy, today turned out to be an ideal
one for a football game and the
Washburn 1chabods and College of
Emporia men were prepared to put up
a hard battle when they met this aft
ernoon at o'clock in their annual
clash.
Last season the Ichabods won by
the score of 16 to 9, but Coach Sand
ers' men were expecting and anticipate
ing revenge today and that they came
to Topeka with blood in their eyes
was indicated by the large delegation
of student followers that accompanied
the team.
Last Game Here.
Coach Kennedy refused to make
any before the game statement. but
said that he would use the lineup he
has been practicing all week with Art
Champeny at quarterback. The rnerra-
bers of the blue and white team were
keyed to a high pitch and they were
expected to fight much harder than
they did in the Fairmount game last
week
Today's game was the last the
Ichabods were scheduled to play In
Topeka before the end of the season,
and for this reason it was expected
that many who have not had an on
portunity to see them in action would
strain a point to do so today
