morning to hamper the work of the
five football teams to play this after
noon in the Kansas conference 1922
race.
In the contests today. Hays Normal
meets College of Emporia at Emporia.
Ottawa will play host to Pittsburg
Normal, Paramount and Sterling tangle
on the Wichita gridiron, Baker goes to
Salina to engage the Kansas Wesleyan
university in combat, and Bethel will
play Friends in Newton
OF the Ave contests the first three
should be the most interesting. Hays
and c. of z. meet for the first time
for several years. Hays Normal was
the champion of the conference last
year, but is out of the running for the
title this season. c of z. has lost but.
one game, and that to Sterling, alleged
to be one of the weakest teams in the
conference. 1t is true that Replogle,
full, and Grant, half, were out of the
game the day Sterling defeated the

conner, despite an early season weak
ness. Sterling won from Ottawa, 1 8
to s, while c. of z. won from Ottawa.
IA to T. Ottawa lost to Hays. l 8 to
IS. While the dope gives the teams
an even break. we are inclined to favor
c. of E. in the battle this afternoon.
If Coach E. r. Ell lives up 10 -
announced determination of winning
one game this season. today's will be
a good one to win, for Thanksgiving
Baker meets Ottawa for the closing
game of the season, and all indications
show Baker decidedly stronger than
the Baptists. Pittsburg will be some
what the favorite this afternoon, how
ever. Ottawa will be in better con-
dition than since the first two games
of the season.. Several men were out
of the Ottawa lineup on account of
scholastic standing when the Baptists
met Sterling. 1t should prove to be
a good game today.
While Baker university should win
from Kansas Wesleyan this afternoon,
the MethodistS are in for a hard
game. for Wesleyan has nice work
ing eleven this year. Only hard luck
seems to account for the loss of so
many games by Coach A. B. Mackie's
crew this year. On three occasions a
Wesleyan victory seemed imminent,
only TO have the opposition stage
rally in the last few minutes which
counted against the Salinans. A field
goal in the last minute of play gave
Hays Normal a win over the Wes-
leyans, aud the same thing happened
in the INSTRUMENTATION clash Nc
Pherson was defeated until the fourth
quarter of the Observation-Disclosures
clash at Salina about mid-season, but
the Bulldogs put over an aerial at
tack in that period which gave the
visitors n victory. Salina may again
play in hard luck this afternoon, but
Baker is easily the favorite in the
contest. 1t is about time for Wes-
leyan to spring a surprise and upset
some dope.
Dope upsetting in the Kansas con-
ference seems TO be a fad this season.
verses. and that is Kansas State
Normal.
Friends should easily defeat the
fairly large score. Bethel has lost all
it's contests to date. Only decided
surprise will contribute to a Quaker
defeat.
Kansas State Normal, aspirants to
the Kansas conference football title.
will meet the fast Haskell Institute
eleven in Emporia this afternoon in
