FOOTBALL GAMES
Chief Interest Centers on X. IT,
Ames Game Saturday.
Three Big Contests in Kansas
Conference.

.
With Kansas college football teams
entering upon the fourth week of the
season, chief interest centers on the
K. U.-Ames contest at Lawrence Sat
urday, which will be the second Mis-
souri, valley conference game for both
elevens. In the Kansas conference
the three principal matches are Baker
,Washburn, Southwestern Emporia
Normal and st. Mary's-Fairmount.
Ten games in which Kansas college
teams participate are on this weeks
card. Kansas Aggies journey to
Omaha to meet Creighton university,
and Pittsburg Normal faces Warrens-
burg (Mo) Normal at Warrensburg.
Other contests are staged on gridirons
within the state.
K U. has won its first three con-
tests against Emporia Normal, Wash
burn and Drake. Ames went down
to 2 to 4 defeat from Missouri last
week, following a 0 to~6 defeat from
Coe college and % to O victory over
Grinnell The strong fight which
Ames showed against NJ. u, 1919 con-
ference champions, indicates the Iowa
school will be real contender against
K. U. Football followers forecast a
close score with Kansas probably the
victor by one or possible two touch
downs.
This game has particular bearing on
1.-THE conference championship fight as
it will give an indication of the rela-
tive strength of NJ. U. and K. u, an
cient gridiron rivals, who will meet
Thanksgiving Day in their annual fray
which may prove to be the deciding
game of the valley honors. Nebraska
| is still ineligible for valley competition
this year, but will be back fully in the
fold next season.
The Kansas Aggies have proved
/ somewhat of disappointment to their
Cur MN f0N- hts nm hut 6nN a
pointing for the game with the State
university next week, which will be
the first conference game for K. S. A.
| C. this season. In the meantime they
meet Creighton, a comparatively small
school but one which usually turns
out a good football team.
Washburn college-victor over OF
tawa university last week, following
earlier defeats from Nebraska and
Kansas by narrow margins-has its
| eyes on the Kansas conference cham
pionship. The Ichabods seem to be
playing in excellent form this season.
Baker. Washburn's opponent Satur-
| day, has also been playing a good
game this year and has won one and
lost one conference game.
Both Southwestern and Emporia
Normal, which meet Saturday, have
a 500 standing in the state conference.
By holding the Kansas Aggies last
week, to Z, the Normalites show
premise of developing strong team
before the season is over, despite early
defeats. Southwestern held Paramount

season near the top. Bethany, how
ever by trouncing Sterling college last
week, Al to o. showed a form which
may prove formidable to Ottawa
