end. The teams playing their first
games are: st. Marys, st. Benedict's,
Sterling, College of Emporia, Kansas
wesleyan, Washburn. Ottawa, Pitts
burg and Friends. College teams which
opened last week are: Mcpherson.
Baker. Fairmount, Southwestern and
Bethany. Southwestern played it's
opening game outside the conference
last Saturday.
ST. Marys college. which opens the
season with st. Benedict's college, of
Atchison. is coached by Earl Conway
again this year. This is Coach Con-
ways second year in the Kansas con-
ference. st. Mary's won but two of
it's college games last year. having
succeeded in administering defeat to
Mcpherson and Washburn. The season
opener with the other Catholic school
should prove an interesting game. st.
Benedict's is coached by Larry Quig-
ley. brother of Ernest Quigley, the
famous big league umpire. This is the
first season for st. Benedict's in the
conference. The Atchison school was
made an associate member of the con-
ference at the annual conference
meeting last year. The mixup between
the two Catholic elevens will be
watched with more than passing in
terest by other schools.
Sterling college, at Sterling. Kan,
did not play Southwestern college of
Winfield last year, but Coach Woody
may make a good showing against the
Coach w. S. Bates eleven this year.
There is this to take into considera-
ton. Southwestern has been in action
already this year, while the Sterling
team will play it's opener Friday.
Southwestern lost to Phillips college
of Enid. IS to Z. Saturday of last
week. Thus it may have been able to
greatly strengthen(the team since its
first loss. Weaknesses always are
found in an opener. and many times
coaches are able to remedy the faults
early in the season. Thus Coach
Bates may be loaded with buekshot
for the Sterling Presbyterians. Sterl-
ing was little weak in the confer
ence last year. 1t won from Bethany
and lost all the other games on its
schedule. Probably a great deal OF
the showing made Friday will depend
on what Coach Woody has been able
to develop. Some new men are back
on the field, it is learned.
College of Emporia and Kansas
Wesleyan did not oppose each other
last year The College of Emporia
made a good showing In the confer
ence last year, winning the majority
of its games. 1t had a good flock OF
freshmen to start the season with, and
it is quite probable that some of them
have developed into something fast.
Nothing but q fast team is ever con-
sidered when Coach Gwinn Henry is
the mentor. The watchword in other
schools of the conference is watch
C. of E. &or those men down there
seem to have been born with footballs
in their mouths.
The Salinans have been coached
again this year by A. B. Mackie. an
Ohio State man. He was mentor for
