Make Comparisons.
The results of these games will re-
ceive much consideration by the fol-
lowers of the oval game because they
will furnish figures with which i'm
portant comparisons can be made. The
Baker Washburn game will clear up
several hazy spots in the Kansas con-
ference dope, the Ames-M Missouri bat
tie will indicate some of the things
that may be- expected when the Tigers
and Jayhawkers clash, and Washburn
followers will watch the Aggie-E EN-
poria Normal contest with a view of
getting a line on both of these teams
for the battles the Ichabods have with
both teams.
Last Saturdays games brought very
little sunshine to the camps of the
big Kansas schools. While the Ag-
gies made a very good showing against
Nebraska, holding the Huskers to a
IA to score, at the same time this
was not as good as the more enthusi-
-astic supporters of the Farmer Wild
~
teams failure to show more consistent
offensive tactics made it certain that
the title of the Valley conference will
again repose in Lincoln unless the
days of miracles return.
Gloom at *. U.
Clouds of gloom again engulfed K.
U. Saturday when the Iowa Aggies de-
feated the Jayhawkers 13 20 0 in a
game that was appointment from
4 Jayhawker standpoint in every phase
and feature. The Olcott men showed
nothing except incompetence and in
efficiency in their stand at Ames Not
only did the Lawrence lads fail to de-
velOp anything that resembled a
punch. but they even failed to produce
even resisting defense, and most of
the dopesters now admit that they are
practically out of the running so far
as conference honors are concerned.
There were few Kansas conference
games Saturday. most of them having
been played the day before, but down
in the Sterling stubblefields Cooper
college and Bethany put on a real
duel. the Weedes winning over the
Swedes by the narrow margin of one
point Neither team was able to score
in the first three periods, but in the
early part of the final quarter Cap
tain Olson led in a desperate attack
that gave Bethany a touchdown
However, failure to kick goal cost the
Lindsborg r1cE the game, as a little
later in the quarter Cooper plowed
thru and Gray kicked goal, making
the final score to 6.
Ottawa University, playing Midland
at Atchison, won by the score of Il
to 0. The feature of this game was a
prize ''boner'' pulled by the Midland
team. After Ottawa had attempted to
kick a fielG goal and failed the Mid
land players did not cover the ball
and an Ottawa man dropped on it be-
hind the Midland goal line fer the
easiest touchdown that has been made
on Kansas soil this season.
Reports from South Bend state that
the Haskell Indians put up a game
light against Notre Dame, losing, how
ever, because of superior weight and
-pvrIence by the count of &c to o.
