Inc JaynaWkerS are on the way TO
Columbia for their annual battle with
the Missouri Tigers, with the cheers of
5000 students of Kansas university
ringing in their ears the Crimson and
| Blue started on the first lap of their
| journey into Tigerland. Coach Allen
of Kansas is taking twenty nine men
with him in order that he may have
plenty of subs in case any of his first
string men are laid out. Kansas has
the best team that has worn the
| Crimson and Blue stripes in years.
Lonborg, Vaudeville, Captain Nettles
| and Reid are the stars of the Mount
Dread eleven. These men played
| wonderful football against Nebraska.
The Kansas squad will stay overnight
! at Moberly, Mo-, as has been the GUS

sas City. Only light practice will be

Aggies Have a Good Team.
The Aggies are coached by Charles
Bachman. who last year had charge
| OF football at Northwestern university
faster company than valley football.
Bachman played in the backfield with
Notre Dame in the years just proceed
ing Americas entrance into the war.
| The Notre Dame football of that time
ranked with the best in America
Bachman was star on the team.
After graduation he coached foot
ball at Depauw. When the war came
on he enlisted in the navy. 1t was
Bachman who coached the champion
football team of the Great Lakes
Training station, and played on the
| team also. Then he went to North
Aggies at the beginning of the present
| season.
| His team is green, entirely ignorant
of his brand of football. 1t was al
most as tho he was beginning with
material that had never played foot
ball, so radically different is his game
to the one that the Aggies have known
in the past. But they have been get
| ting better every week and their last
1920 game bids fair to be their best
one.
| There are some good individual men
among the Kansans. Kinds, quarter
and halfback, has not a superior in the
valley for open field running. He can
gain against any valley team. an Off
cial who has worked with all of them
said recently. Kinds has proved it so
far as he has gone. He is a brilliant
back.
Huston stands head and shoulders
labove any man in the valley as drop
Kicker. and has no superior as
lpunter. He is big and rangy, a dam

| Gait, captain and tackle, and Gle
Hand, center. are men whom any valley
tcoach would be glad to have in his
lineup. :.

st. Mary's Plays Tomorrow.
The st. Mary's college squad, bat
itered and bruised from the effects of
Its strenuous game with Washburn, is
making every step necessary to put-it-
self in condition for its final game OF
the season with Doane college here on
Thanksgiving Day. Doane college by
defeating York last Friday won the
Collegiate Conference championship
of Nebraska, and incidentally has not
Ibeen defeated this season, SO an I'M
usually stiff game is expected. Doane
college has been the Thanksgiving at
Traction here for a great many years,
and as each team has won an equal
number of the games thus far played.
the tussle on turkey day will be the
rubber game.
This years Doane-St. Mary'S game
will mark the passing of the three of
the greatest stars that the Blue and
white ever produced, viz: Kelly, Lane
land Captain Boland. This trio has
football all this season and typical st.
Mary's crowd, composed of the stu
dents, the alumni and the st. Mary
ttownfolk will be on hand Thursday to
lcheer on the final efforts of these
three warriors of st. Mary's gridiron.
At the closing ceremonies of the foot
ball season held annually on the Col
llege campus the evening before the
Thanksgiving game the above men
toned players will be presented with
beautiful loving cups the gift of their
fellow students in token of their sterl-
| ing work on the chalked arena

his regulars will be in the lineup for
4 Thanksgiving against the Nebraska
| Champions and as a runner up in the
Kansas Conference the Saints will
4 fight as hard as ever to uphold the
/ standard of football played in this Sec
/ ton of the country as that Of the in
II vaders.
