DOPE GIVES Them EDGE"
BY W. D. WOLFE.

The students Of Washburn college
are sopping themselves in fighting
spirit this week. They are like great
chunks of bread floating in a platter
OF nice sloppy gravy. In this case the
bread is the spirit of fight which is
traditional at the Blue school. and the
gravy is that outward demonstrat ton
of the fight quality known as cheering
When the Ichabod warriors OF the
grtdirOn prance onto Washburn FIELD
Saturday afternoon some twenty min
utes before the start of the battle with
the Jayhawkers they will be greeted
with such an outburst of organized
cheering as has not greeted Blue
team IN many years. 1t takes victory
and possibility of victory to get the
true enthusiasm into a cheering out
burst. And Washburn has two VIC
tories as holsters of her courage and
every possibility of another Saturday
10 add volume TO the soothing sound.
At every chapel meeting at WASH
burn this week the cheer leaders are
having their way-and the student
body is responding with its WHOLE soul
in the outburst of sound. Even on the
campus paths the students greet each
other with Beat K. N and we
win" There is no doubt that the
whole hearted support of the student
body and the citizens of Topeka will
have a wholesome effect on the mole
skin heroes in the game.
: It is quite true that there may be an
overlayer of optimism in all this-but
there is some cause for it The dope
as shown in the score table this sea-
son gives the Ichabo6s a little more
than a shade the best of the argument
before the scrimmage starts
What Dope Shows.
Ottawa and Kansas Normal fought
each other to a tie score at Emporja
a couple of weeks ago Just last Sat
urday Kansas university-the famed
awker-trimued the Normalites
on NcCook field TO the tune of IA to
nothing. Friday Washburn had hand
ed Ottawa a 80 to Il defeat. This line
of dope gives the Blue school the ad-
vantage of approximately two touch
downs. But in the face of this. men
who saw the K. T. game last Saturday
-althe they are regular supporters OF
the Lawrence schoeI-are placing a
little money that the Jayhawks will
give the Ichabeds a trimming by at
least points
Today a few bear stories came up
the river from Lawrence. They were
to the effect that the hospital list had
claimed three of the university's best
but bear dope is a regular advance
pill sent out from the Kansas general
staff and Washburn men should not
look for too many breaks in favor
of the Blue on the hospital line.
Careful consideration of the per-
70 nance of both teams in the games
this season would indicate that it is
an even break. One eleven looks as
good as the other. Washburn will
have the advantage of playing on her
home ground. Kansas will have a
string of victories over the Ichabods
to nerve her on. One balances the
other-and it may all depend on just
which way the wind blows Saturday.

Worse Than Thieves Are Men and

BY and by the children grow up
They go their ways. They prosper,

world on the bent shoulders OF an
old man for whom, only too often,
they have only contemptuous toler-
ance, and whom they regard as a
burden.
For finally. there come, day when
the inevitable happens. The old
hands that have toiled so long can
work no more. The old eyes have
grown too dim, the old fee, too slow
and the old clerk or the did artisan
must give up his job. =.

For the poor man must almost in
cvitably be dependent on his chill
dren in his old age. He cannot ac-
cumulale a competency under ordt-

I saw them blithely Ringing, some five brief

to keep so many heads cool, and the little
