Washburn college plays its first
home game of the 1920 football season
this afternoon against Ottawa uniyer-
sity on the college ATHLETIC field.
Plans have been made by the manage
ment to handle a monster crowd as
the advance seat sale indicates. The
game will be called at 3 o'clock. This
will be the time for the Topeka mer-
chants and townspeople to show
Coach Ream and his fighting Ieha-
bods how much they appreciate the
way the big Blue team fought at
Nebraska and at Kansas last week.
Coach Brannan of Ottawa, says his
men are all in wonderful shape and
expect to fight the Washburn team
to a Standstill even tho outWeighed
by the Blue. He is bringing two all
state men with him, and fine kicker.
Coach Ream has been working his
men hard all week and expects to use
the same lineup that started against
Kansas with the exception of Heavy
Irwin, the fast center, injured last
week in the X. U. game. The officials
are Leslie Edmonds, referee; DR.. Pete
He'll, umpire, and Alfred HILL. lines
man.
X. S. A. C. VS.. EmpeFia.
The Kansas Aggies will play the
EmPoria Normal team at Manhattan.
The Aggies are going strong, having
defeated the Camp Funston team last
'
developed a real offense and unless the
Hargiss team shows a complete re-
versal of form, it looks like curtains
for the boys from William Allen
Whites town.
X. U, To Play Drake.
The Kansas JayhaWkers having won
their two opening games will play
their first Missouri valley conference
game this afternoon against Drake
university, at Lawrence. At the first
of the season the Des Moines press
agents passed the word along that the
Bulldogs were going to sweep the
| other valley teams off their feet Last
Saturday the Iowa team was smoth-
cred by Illinois, Al to 0; of course
| Zupke always has a real team but
Drake can't have much of defense
| If they can't hold better against the
Crimson and Blue linemen, the shifty
Vaudeville and little Welsh will put
over enough tooehdovns to bring
| home the bacon.
| Nebraska VS.. Notre Dame.
Nebraska will play Notre Dame at
| Lincoln. The Cornhuskers are not go-
ing as well as usual this season and
the Indiana team will have a chance
to get revenge for some of their pre-
vious defeats at the hands of the Red
| and White squad in former years.
The Missouri Tigers have another
wonderful team having scored eighty
| i've points in their first two games.
The Tigers go to Ames for their first
conference game and should have lit
tie trouble in winning this battle.
Oklahoma VS.. Texas.
Oklahoma university plays Texas.
This is an annual game between two
| we'll matched teams and is always
hard fought. Bonnie Owens has q
fine team at Norman and the Sooners,
according to the dope, should finish on
the long end of the score.
Santa Fe VS.. Usage City.
The Santa Fe baseball team will
play the Usage City clowns a return
game tomorrow afternoon at the West
ern league park at S:15. These two
teams played a very ragged exhibition
last Sunday but Usage has promised
to bring some real players with them
this time. No matter who they bring
they couldn't be any worse than the
players that performed for the visitors
last week. 1 would suggest they bring
I the Ladies' band from Herington and
let them play instead of the clowns.
st. Mary's 10; Friends o.
The much touted big team of the
Friends university was easily defeated
by st. MaFy's Friday, afternoon by 8
score of 19 to 0. Friends was unable
to stop Lane and that coupled with
the wonderful work of Kelley and Be-
1 land on defense, paved the way>foF ar
easy victory. Lane had a great day
running a punt back sixty yards for 8
touchdown, scoring a goal from tbs
field and making another thirty yarc
