AGCIES LOAFING?
CIevenger Fears OvercOnfidence
May Defeat Wildcats.
He Expects Washburn to Put
Up a Hard Fight.

A report from Manhattan states
that the Wildcat coaches fear over
confidence will be the undOiLg of their
team on Thanksgiving day when
Washburn invades Farmerville for the
final game of the season.
Naturally, now that the conference
season is over, there is likely to be {
slump" q. G. Clevenger, head coach
for the Aggies, said. "Ws.shburn is
getting better all the time and doubt
less will play one of her best games
against our team"
This contest is worrying us as
much as any we have had ,uring the
season" Clevenger continued in an in
terview given the Kansas 1nduStrialiSt-
ability to win will depend entirely
upon the fighting spirit of our men
If we can keep the whole team up ~
a high tension until just before the
game there is no doubt bout an
Aggie victory-but right there is the
danger
Kennedy Has Hopes.
There is no doubt but that Doctor
Kennedy of Washburn. is doing his
best to give the Wildcats hard fight.
This was indicated today when he
kept Jay McCosh, one of his best bets.
out of the c. of f. game in order TO
insure his fitness for next Thursdays
game.
"Church" Sargent who was put on
the hospital list last week by an alb
seess on his foot is back in school and
it is hoped that he will be available for
use next week in case of an emer-
gency Sam Stewart. certainly will be
in the game and he says he will be in
better condition than ever, the rest
that he has had being an advantage to
him.
New Man May Star.
Then there will be the mysterious
stranger" who has not played all year
to put into the backfield against the
Wildcats. He has been out this week
conditioning himself in secret and
should show some of his old high
school prowess if he gets away good.
This man played part of last season
but was never given a chance in the
backfield where he had played all of
his life. DIR. Kennedy hopes that he
will make a great showing in his one
appearance of the season.
An effort is being made to take a
big crowd of student rooters to Man
haitian and if enough can be gotten
together a special train may be char
tered. However, so many students are
going home for the holiday that this
is not likely.

Braden, Carey. White and Neville are
all good backs. Braden, besides being
a good line plunger, is a good punter
and kicker.
Harvard seems to me to have the
more versatile backfield of the two
colleges. Horween is beautiful punt
err and drop kicker and a good line
p1unger. Flower can kick run and
pass. Casey is better than any man on
either team in a broken field; he can
forward pass well, and kick if he has
to. Thacher is a good line plunger,
interferer and a wonderful defensive
back. RUFF Bond is a good al1-around
halfback and u fine drop kicker be-
sides, while Minot, Burnham and Will
cox help to make up a dependable list
of substitute backs
