HANGS in BALANCE
C. of e. Claim to Conference
Title in Jeopardy.
Win for Normal Will Give
Washburn Championship.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. 4.-The foot
ball game between the Kansas State
Normal and the College of Emporia,
Cancelled on Thanksgiving because of
flu in Emporia, has been rescheduled
for Friday. December 6. The game
will be played behind closed gates.
Both the Emporia schools were
eager to play the contest. The college
wants to win the game so that it will
have six conference games to it's credit
in claiming the state conference cham
pionship. The normal. while out of
the championship contest, does not
want to see its ancient rival win the
state honors. The normal team is
unanimous in the belief that Wash
burn has the strongest team in the
Kansas conference. Neither Wash
burn nor the College of Emporia has
lost a conference game this year. but
the two schools will not meet on the
gridiron and the College of Emporia
will win the state championship con-
test on the basis of having played the
largest number of conference teams if
it cal beat the normal.
The college is confident of victory
Friday because it defeated both Baker
and Paramount by much larger scores
than those piled up by the normal
against these schools. But the normal
team discredits this dope and relies
fully on its solid line and plunging
backfield to snatch the state honors
away from the college.
