Washburn is out for some ones
goat.
The practice Wednesday afternoon
at Washburn looked mighty good. The
Ichabods scored five touchdowns
against Coach Abbott's Industrial
School team, and the players on that
aggregation were husky, hard players.
The new plays given by Ream and
He'll are working in sweet order.
They're dandy plays, too.
But the thing we're betting on is not
the plays. but the pep.
Washburn's footballsters. as a gem
eraI rule, are the quietest, calmest
bunch in conference football. They
practice without a lot of pep talk.
Irwin and Blevins are the only two
noisy ones on the team-generaIly.
Wednesday afternoons practice
brought about an unexpected and
heartily welcome change in this con-
dition.
Rusty Cossman, who earned a
monicker last year of Silent" was
making a lot of noise. Brewster Eu-
Ter, Sharp, Crawford, in fact the whole
team was dynamo of pep and enthu-
siasm. They were on their toes. fight
Ing hard and consistently.
The number of cars parked just
outside the field, and the large group
of supporters that ganged along the
sidelines show that Washburn is still
a favOr-te.
Young Skinner" Boies, brother of
Laurel BOies, Washburn fullback who
is probably out for large part of the
season with a bad knees making
up for his brothers absence with a
vengeance. Young Boies's gains from
his backfield position were a joy to
the spectators. He has speed, nerve
and an ability to find his holes. Boies
should make good backfield man be-
fore the seasons end.

Of EmDoria, will enter his second con-
ference game with a crippled team

game at half, is also on the bench

however played the Baker game and
scored the three winning points for the
&. of E. men with a place kick from
the 30-yard line
Henry is optimistic for a victory
over Southwestern, aitho the Mound
builders have as yet a clear slate.
Last year the EmpOrians played foot
race with the Paramount men and
emerged the holder of SIS points while
southwestern hung up a goose egg.
Henry hopes to win from the Hoover
gang by small margin this year.
Attendants at the washburn-Pittz-
burg game will remember the actions
of Hope, sent in at end for Luke. who
went out with injuries. The Pittsburg
man played stellar game at the end
position. and was present in practically
every play.
We learned today that Hope is a
Vocational service man at Pittsburg.

Wen hard it to man like that.
The colin has been the object of
several communications, both by mail
and word of mouth, concerning the
policy of Coach Ream in runnine his
team. The majority have been COM
plimentary, but some have been detri-
mentary in the extreme.
We received one this morning that
gets the porcelain billiard ball.
