GLOOM is THICK
IchabOdS See No Chance to
Hold Aggie Wildcats.
The C. of E. Conceded a Good
Chance to Win Now.

Gloom hangs heavy over Washburn
football circles and the overconfi-
dence that sent the Ichabods down to
defeat before the Paramount Wheat
shockers has given way to an evil just
as deadly, the members of the team
now feeling that they are greatly
handicapped by the loss of their cap
tain and quarterback and that they
are doomed to feed upon defeat dur
ing the remainder of the season unless
the unlocked for happens.
The game with the College of EN-
poria was looked upon as merely a
practice encounter for the big Aggie
battle up until last Friday night but
since then it has assumed monstrous
proportions and is dreaded because it
is felt that the Presbyterians will
make 1t all the harder to put up real
opposition to the ruthless Wildcats
The c. of E. team has a good back
field and has material that looks like
1t should have had a better season
than the records show. Therefore,
Thursdays game will be no cinch, and
If Coach Sanders gets his. men to going
they may cop the long end of the
score.
Washburn's Chances Slim.
The only hope for Washburn lies in
the ability of Coach Kennedy to de-
velop unknown stars from some of his
green men and for the players to
show fighting spirit and a unity of
attack that they have not shown since
the beginning of the season. The quar-
terback situation could be a lot worse
than it is, and it is the opinion of those
who know him best that Champeny
will run the team well despite his lack
of experience.
However, the line and the backfield,
never strong, are woefully weak now
and unless they are strengthened by
the men exerting themselves to their
utmost efforts it will not take much
football on the part of the Aggies to
win by a decisive score
The Aggie game is the one in which.
the coach and the whole college ex-
pected to make a showing that would
wipe out unpleasant memories of
earlier defeats, ard it looks as tho
every effort will be made this week
to get the team at its best for the
Manhattan clash, letting the c. of E.
game go the easiest way and trusting
largely to luck to defeat the Presby-
terianS.
Stewart May Play
Captain Stewart very likely will be
able to play by Thanksgiving, but his
injury will slow him up and will I'M
doubtedly make 1t necessary for him
to play in the line instead of in the
backfield.
There was only light scrimmage
Monday night, the entire practice
period being devoted to signal drill
and to working out soreness. There
probably will be no heavy scrimmage
before the meeting with the Empo-
rians, altho it is planned to have
Champeny run the men thru their for
nations as much as possible to oct
his hand in and to accustom the team
to his methods.
Reports from Manhattan state IT,

Thanksgiving game as lightly as might

CLASSIFY AMATEURS
Those Who Engage in Sport solely for
Pleasure Not Professionals.

New York, Nov. 21.-The definition
of an amateur as "a sportsman who
engages in sport solely for the pleasure
and physical, mental or social benefit
he derives therefrom and to whom
sport is nothing more than an avoca-
ton" was adopted at the annual meet
ing of the Amateur Athletic union, in
session here. No announcement had
been made at midnight regarding the
selection of officers and it was asserted
no changes would be made.
Delegations from eleven associations
and allied bodies were in attendance
when the meeting began and the re-
port of the record committee, which
was announced was accepted and
adopted. The report of Secretary
Treasurer Ruben, which was favor
ably passed on, showed the last year
was profitable to the extent of $1,721
over all expenses. the best source of
revenue being the national boxing
championship held in Boston.

FOR ALL
Public Invited to Participate in
Gun Club Shoot.
Appetite All That Is Necessary
to Enter Events.

thing required to enter in the big live
bird shoot that will be staged by the
Topeka Gun club at it's grounds in

the fat gobblers.
Invitations have been sent out to
shooters thruout the state and every
one in Topeka is invited to attend. The
officials of the club will divide the
shooters into classes according to their
past records so that the amateurs and
beginners will not have to compete
with the professionals and crack shots
and this insures every participant
chance to win a turkey.
Three Classes of Shooters.
The best shooters will be designated
as class A shooters, the mediocre men
as class and the beginners and no
vices as class c. Each squad will con-
sist of five men and the man who
makes the highest score, or breaks the
greatest number of bluerocks in his
squad will be presented with a tur-
key.
Twenty-Five birds have already been
engaged and others will be procured
if they are needed. Even ammunition
will be provided on the grounds by the
club, so that those who desire can go
out free, handed and have no trouble
carrying their prizes home.
At the regular weekly shoot of the
club this afternoon most of the MEM
bers planned to get their hands in and
their eyes set for next weeks big
event. and it is expected that the more
ambitious will go out for other prac-
tees before the end of the week.

Grounds. Army and Navy football
coaches shave taken their charges into
the secrecy of locked and barred foot
ball fields where today opens the most
strenuous practice of the season for
Saturdays battle. The old armor has
been taken down and busted, the army
mule has been stuffed on oats and the
navy goat has had his horns sharp
ened.
At Annapolis they refuse to believe
that the Army is going to repeat this
year. Tales of Oliphant and Vidal,

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 21.-The
Harvard football management an
nounced today that Crimson squad
will leave Thursday morning for New
Haven for the game with Yale next
Saturday. Immediately after their
arrival at New Haven the players will
go to the Yale bowl. where they will
spend the rest of the afternoon in ac-
quainting themselves with the local
conditions. They will practice on the
baseball diamond during their stay
there.
The last home practice today and
tomorrow probably will determine the
final makeup of the eleven which
will be started against Yale. Several
positions still are uncertain.

Such a course as this, however,
