Sport Wheezes
BY UUG-

Elmer Bearg, high school coach, was not
at all pleased with the showing his men
made in their last game against the En-
porians. our boys were overconfident
and cOckey," Bearg says. They thought
they would have IA cinch and that is the
reason they failed to play their best ball.
The high school lads know, however,
that they will have no easy game when
urday The Drummer eleven will average
better than 10 pounds and is expected to
give the Topeka team one of its hardest
games of the season.
Down at st. Mary's college they are still
celebrating last Saturdays victory over
home the team and Coach O'Rourke were
met by the entire student body and the
of the college has not yet completely died
down, according to reports received today
from A. S. Petit.
The Catholics are praising Haskin, Quar-
terback Curran, Grone, Fife, Maloney
kean and practically every member Of the 1.
tain Logan. Of the fchabods. and gave
Mary's will play Ottawa this Saturday
and expects an easy victory
out at washburn there has been little
praise for the most of the regular members
of the IehabOd eleven, althO Coach Ken
needy has made some mighty compliment
tary remarks about some of his second
string men who went in and did their
Caihan and and CAPTAIN hptd For sSor
comings and Calihan is praised for the
scrappy game he played; But most of
the other regulars are being told they
should have done better.
Among the second string of men who
have gotten pat on the back from the
coach are Davis, Hunter, Bradshaw and
one or two others. Fat stenger who
Hull artist fought hard and there is no
criticism of the game he played. one
thing the coach is trying to do this week
of a science. Weak punting was one of
the glaring faults of the defense against
1.-THE O'Rourke men.
The Ichabods viii make their longest
trip of the season this week when they
go to Wichita to play Fairmount- Be,
cause Of the rivalry between Wichita and
Topeka and the old rivalry between the
two schools this game is expected to be
bitter and hard fought. Hoover has a
fairly good team at FairmOunt and even
the Washburn followers admit that their
provement to get away with the long end
of the score.
The Hays Normal conference leaders
will play one of the interesting games
lima to meet the Kansas Wesleyan team.
! OF course the Speer men are expected to
Upset G5 'a and the the Conference followers will
eagerly await the results of the game.
The Emporia Normals this week go
against Baker university. This game
should be a close one unless 1l the En- En-,
showing. Southwestern plays Friends at
Winfield Thursday and the College of
Emporia takes on Cooper college at Ster-
/ ling.
/ Down at Louisville. Ky. today the minor
league magnates of baseball are having the
liveiiest little battle they have staged at
an annual meeting in many years: should
the Union league proposition go thru there
is fine chance that all the big minors
will be badly disrupted and that there will
/ be a general shake up of circuits.
| 1t is not~ improbable that the American
association, robbed of several of its towns.
may invade the Western league and take
Omaha and some of the other towns, and
if this is done the Western will have to
/ either come back to Topeka and Sioux city
or go into Western association territory.
Many things are liable to happen in minor
I league circles if the third major league
materializes, and some of them certainly
should give Topeka Il chance to get back
4 into baseball if she desires to do So
