IN Blue CAMP
BY HUGGINs.

Don't think Tor a minute lnd- we re
loafing on the job, thinking that We
have the Kansas conference cinched,
said Coach Dwight Ream today. Il
realize that the game with st. Mary's
Thursday is going to be fully as hard
as the c. of E. game, and we aren't
going to be caught mapping, and have
them put over a walkover like they
did on Baker and Ottawa
The big Blue squad is working every
night at the signal practice and scrim-
mage. realizing that Thursdays battle
might turn the tide against them.
Coach Steve ORourke is working for
this game and st. Mary's chances for
| the championship depend on a victory
over Washburn. At the same time
Washburn must either tie or win from
st. Marys to walk away with confer
| ence honors. The game is doped to
be hari one, and the Ichabods are
working hard<to walk away with the
long end of the score.
\ skinner" Boies, end, who suffered
H three cracked ribs in the mud battle
with the Enporia Normals, donned
suit again Tuesday night, for the first
time since the accident.
81 don't know whether I'm going to
play Thursday or not" Boies says
but I'm going to st. Marv's if l have
to pay any own way. hermore'
I'm going to be suited up ldy to go
in. 1 hope 1 get chance"
Every man on the Washburn squad
is in the best possible condition for
the game, notwithstanding the fact
that they had only five days to recu-
perate from the worst battle of the
season. In the first place, Ream's men
came out of the c. of E. game minus
any serious injuries, with the excep,
ton of Bill Rogers, end, who is still
limping slightly from a charley horse.
The balance of the team are feeling
fit, and the scrimmages every night
are the snappiest yet exhibited this
season.
Heavy Irwin, blue center, who is
making a strong fight for all-state
honors has accomplished the impos-
sible in playing every minute OF the
Paramount, Emporia Normals and G.
of e. games without taking time out.
Irwin has carried bad knee all sea-
son, but the blond-headed boy doesn't
seem to mind how much they tramp
or kick it. he refuses to go to the
| sidelines. Every night before practice
| the knee is tapped and held in place by
means of tight elastic, and altho
swelled to twice normal size, has never
tyet given out during a game.
| The Washburn atmosphere has been
| charged with the football spirit. The
inter-fraternity series of games are
| rapidly drawing to a close, with the
| Ferguson fellows slightly in the lead.
The Phi Debts were defeated Tuesday
afternoon. 2 to 0 by the Kappa Sigs.
A fumbled punt and a recovery by a
Kappa Sig made the counter. { The
game was hard fought, and twice the
Phi Delts advanced the ball to the
| opponents ten-yard line and once
lacked only six yards for touchdown.
A stone-wall line and two fumbles
saved the Kappa Sig goal on these
three occasions.
Assistant Coach George Whitconb.
who did some wonderful work during
tine season for the Blues, has gone
back to New York, where he is en-
lployed in bank. He was on a three
months layoff and his time expired
last week. La xrence Woodard. who
mas been coaching the freshmen, is
now assistant coach.
The Blues cannot afford to consider
the conference title safely tucked away
at Ihomas gymnasium. Should they
Tourney TO st. Marys Thursday, with
little overconfident spirit, the title is
llaple to slip from their grasp. The
biues nave only thumb and finger
mold on the title. and they must have
