! Here is the lineup for Washburn,
4 which Coach Dwigf Ream claims will
providing nothing unforeseen occurs:
L. e, Jemison; l. t., Kennedy; l. G.,
Blevins; c., Irwin; r. g., Simpson; r
4 t., Cossman; r. e., Kendall; q. b.,
Stevens; r. h.. Sewers; l. h., Euler;
f. b., Sharp.
! Jemison and Kendall are a fast
pair of diminutive ends. Kennedy
and Cossman are tackles that will
hold their sides of the line together
with brute strength. Blevins and
Il Simpson played the guard positions
Il together last year. Opponents know
the futility of penetrating the center
of the line, with Irwin at center TO
help.
Stevens is a 1920 quarterback, and
captain. He knows his job. Sewers
and Euler are inexperienced halves,
but hard workers. Sharp belongs at
a half. but has been placed in the
f1llback position due to/the injury
of Boies< There is a faint chance,
Ream claims that Boies may get in
the game. He is not expected to last
long if he goes in. The knee which
the fighting Skinner wrenched last
Tuesday night, has swelled so badly
that he is forced to hobble around on
crutches
Kansas university did not scrim-
mage today, but stood Silently and
hopefully by. waiting for the big game
Saturday. Coach Clark knows he is
to put his men in a real game here,
and no chances for disabled line or
backfield men are being taken by a
last night scrlmmage. Every day for
the last week Adrian Lindsay's fresh
men have been scrimmaging against
the regulars,-takng all the punish
ment the Varsity could give. and hel-
lering for more. Lindsay is proud of
the scrubs, and Clark is proud of the
regulars,-but the feeling = lay change
by Saturday night-who knows?
The lineup Saturday; subject to last
minute change, as announced by Coach
Lonberg; tackles, Kruger and David
son; guards. Jones and Reedy; Saun-
ders or Hale at the center position:
MeAdams and Black halves. and
Sturgeon, full "Prexy" Wilson will
pilot the team at quarterback.
We want to give credit where credit
is due, and Roy H. Pete" He'll. back
field coach at Washburn college. is de-
serving OF all the credit we can give
MIN from our meager vocabulary.
Pete" He'll is known as one of the
| best quarterbackS of all time His
generalship for three years on the
Kansas university eleven, then for two
years on the Pittsburgh university
(Penn.) squad is a bright spot of
memory for the ardent follwers of the
game.
He'll doesn't look like a football
player. In fact, he doesn't look like
an athelete of any kind. Small. wiry,
and quiet. He'll needed level head to
make him OF any value at all to a
football team. He had the head.
During the years of 1909, 1910, 1911
Hell generated the varsity of Kansas
He was selected as au-Valley quarter
back one year. Then he went east to
play with Pop" Warmers men at Pitts
burgh university. Warner is one of
the most famous mentors in the coun-
| try, as well as one of the Oldest in the
game. He pronounced "Pete" He'll
without an equal at the quarterback
berth. Some Recommendation, what?
He'll is doing some wonderful work
at Washburn- In coaching the back
field and assisting Coach Dwight
Ream, He'll spends hours in the after
noon working with passes, punts, line
smashing. He'll knows his game.
everyone agrees. Washburn is fortu-
nate in securing Pete for even part
OF the time during the 1921 season.
With seventeen of the eighteen
Kansas college teams in action, the
football season opens this week in full
swing. Seven games are scheduled in
Kansas gridirons while three Kansas
elevens play in adjoining states.
The two Missouri Valley teams and
Haskell. the orphan eleven, meet Kan
sas conference teams. Four purely
Kansas conference games will be
played: Bethany = Friends, Kansas
State Normal-St. Mary's, Fairnount
Mcpherson, and Sterling-Southwes
ern. Ottawa university alone is not
scheduled for a regular game.
The game at Manhattan between
the College of Emporia and Kansas
State Agricultural college apparently
will be no sinecure for the Aggies
Coach Gwin Henry is conceded to turn
out some of the best teams in the
Kansas conference. The Presbyterians
We're conference champions in 1918
and 1919 and lost last years pennant
by a lone defeat early in the season
from Baker. The Aggies were I'M
usually weak last year, but hope is
running high for a winning team this
season. as Coach Bachman has
wealth of seasoned and new material.
Haskell institute will play the Kan
sas Wesleyans of Salina. Last year
the Indians easily defeated the Metho-
dists. Coach Madison Bell apparently
has as strong a team or stronger this
year. Last week Haskell defeated
j Pittsburg Normal, IA to O.. A B.
