The defeat of st. Benedict's college
by the fast St.-Mary's eleven was ex-
pected, but it was a surprise to see
the Irishmen pile up such big lead
over the Larry Quigley crew.
St. Benedict's college is playing its
first year in the Kansas conference,
having been voted an associate mem
Der of the conference at the annual
meeting last spring.
Southwestern and College of En-
poria will enter the games with Ster-
ling and Kansas Wesleyan this after
noon the favorites. The % to 8 de-
feat OF Sterling last year at the hands
of Southwestern is a big disadvantage
for the Sterlingites to face this year.
Coach Woody has had several last
years men out this season, and with
some good first year men to throw
into the fray, he may give good
account Of hipselt today.
Coach 4. B. Mackie has the ad-
vantage of being at Kansas Wesleyan
the second year, and thus knows what
he had left over from last season

The etry-for-point" is the new rule
that is bothering some of the schools
this year, from all appearances. The
rule specifies that the team may try
not nearer than five yards from the
goal line. If the team has a good
line, and a drop or place kicker, it has
a pretty good chance of getting the
extra point. Thus drop and place
kickers are being developed in all COM
ference teams this year. .

greatest football fans in the city. has
set his plans on seeing that game at
West Point. IT always have had the
football fever in my~blood, and 1
hope never ret it out" Frank said.
He is out on the Washburn field sew
eral times each week TO see the boys
work out. and he sees in this years
squad a formidable team when it hits
it's stride. Then he spoke highly of
the coaching of mike" Vosburg at
Washburn, saying he believed him to
be one of the best coaches in the con-
ference.
Willard formerly attended Kenyon
college, at Gambler, Ohio. He was
formerly a pitcher on the Kenyon
baseball team, and was the first
pitcher there to pitch a curve bali.
That was in the Eighties"
Probably no other organization in
the city has done more to create in
terest in Washburn college athletics
than the Washburn Boosters club.
Some of the leading business men in
the city are members of the club, and
those who are members get compli-
mentary tickets to the games. The
tickets are good for the entire season.
New members now are being obtained
for the organization.
Many of the business men who do
not belong to the club are anxious to
join, from reports received. w. Z.
