Two Kansas schools, Kansas uni
versity and Kansas Aggies, both strong
in football circles. will meet Saturday
afternoon in the new Lawrence
| stadium for the annual battle.
And it will be some strife.
The Kansas university record to date
| includes one Missouri valley defeat
and one valley win, and a win over
Washburn college.
The Aggie record proclaims that the
Farmers have won two Missouri valley
conflicts, defeated the College of EN-
poria and lost to Creighton.
The Aggies have a total of AZ points
this year to their opponents e.
Their goal has been crossed twice
| lost the latter game, their third one, on
fumbles. They defeated c. of E. by a
touchdown in the first game of the
season, while a drop kick by Harr was
the extent of the Emporians scoring.
They won a three-touchdown victory
/ over Washington university, and did
the totally unexpected thing by de-
feating the powerful Missouri eleven,
| Z to 5.
Enough for the Aggies.
Kansas university also has an en-
| viable record. She started the sea-
son with only one regular, Pete Jones,
captain. Coach Clark faced the severe
/ ldSk .OI QSV6JOplHS d AISSOuI1 NdIl6y
team from last years substitutes. In
his first game, with Washburn, Clark
Iinwardly expected a win. But the
fans thought a defeat would be meted
out to the K. U. squad. Clark and his
men won the game, IS to 7. They
won it easily.
Then the dope was upset. Two
weeks later Drake university, by
means of a clever attack of forward
| passing in the last quarter, defeated
lAE- -
lClark nor his men were daunted. They
entered the game with Ames with the
dope against them. Ames had held
the top notch Missouri eleven to a
three point lead for victory. Kansas
Iplayed football, real football, and won
Iagainst ATnes, 4 to Z.
The Jayhawkers have massed to-
gether a total of 40 points against 29
made by their opponents. Their goal
has been crossed three times, once by
Washburn, once by Ames, and o..ce by
Drake.
Is the dope even? We think it is
What does dope aI-ount to? Not a
thing.
But the Kansas-Aggie conflict will
be the biggest game in Kansas this
week
1t has developed into a classic this
year that would not be recognized in
previous years when the dope was
sas generally had the edge.
Coaches Charles Bachman and Di-
rector of Athletics Mike Ahearn are
working
/ But Coach "Potsy' Clark and Di-
rector of Athletics Forrest c. Allen of
Kansas University have had their con-
fidence renewed. The defeat by Drake,
they say, was merely a portion Of the
dope upsetting that was predestined
to come their way. And a victory

confidence in old K. U. and her war
riors.
So Kansas fans are planning to visit
Lawrence on Saturday. 1t will be well
worth their while.
President w NJ. Jardine of the Ag-
gfes has become enough enthused over
the chance of beating K. u that he
: has declared a holiday. A special
train will leave Manhattan at $3.50
, o'clock on the morning of October 20,
arrive in Topeka at 10 O'Clock, and
the rooters will give a little celebra-
tion at the Union Pacific depot for
Topekans The special will invade
Lawrence about IL o'clock. The
Union Pacific company has granted
special rates. About two thousand
Aggie students friends and alumni
are expected to make the trip. A band
of eighty-five pieces will accompany
| them. The train will return Satur-
Is it fair to ask if the Aggies are in
terested in beating K. u?
Coach Bachman will take eleven
regulars and seven substitutes to K. U.
for the contest.
