About Post-season Game.

Nothing definite has been decided
about the post-season game between
Washburn and the College of EN-
poFia. Coach Henry has challenged
the Blue for another game to play off
the IA to IA tie. Coach Ream of
Washburn has the matter of playing
the game under advisement bur
doesn't think there is much chance of
it being played. Washburn has had
one of the hardest schedules ever at
tempted by a college team and the
fighting Ichabods have come thru
with flying colors. The boys are
anxious to get thru so they can take
on a few matted milks and other light
refreshments. Here's hoping Coach
Ream decides to remain at Washburn
another year.

goal from the educated toe of Huston
prevented the Aggies from annexing
three more points and the game.
The Aggie line is big and powerful
