Among the teams it has defeated are:

While the Goodland high school team
has an undisputed title to the cham
pionship of northwestern Kansas, it
could also claim the championship of
west central Kansas by playing the

Winter Sports
BY TED BLEVINS,

Coach "Rook" Woodward of Hays
Normal takes his trusty musket and
hunts jack-rabbits for a pastime.
woodward, Ream, Leslie Edmonds
and another friend went hunting the
other morning. They took four boxes
of shells with them and did not re-
turn until afternoon. They shot five
rabbits all told, "Rook" shot four and
the other three the remaining one.
Coach Schabinger of the Kansas
State Normal has small SON with
whom he spends most of his spare
time. Joe" is fast learning the fine
points of the different sports and 1t
keeps "Schabie" busy teaching him
new formations and plays.
Dope which goes for nothing says
that Washburn will not have much
show against Emporia Normal Friday
night when the two schools meet in
Washburn by a fair margin but barely
defeated the Normal. But the Wash
burn team has improved greatly since
its defeat by C. of E. and will give the
Normals a hard game. Washburn
plays the College again Saturday night
and the Ichabods are determined to be
on the long end of the score.
washburn lost one of her best ath-
letes the first of February when
Charles kennedy enrolled at II. y.
Kennedy has the following to say in
a letter written back to a friend: II
had a hard time leaving Washburn
but felt that l wasn't getting what i
wanted in medic work so 1 came here.
I may not do any better here but this
is the only way to find out. L thought
about coming here last fall but finally
enrolled at Washburn, but expected to
come here the second semester. They
probably think that I am a good one
for leaving the way I did but it
seemed the easiest way for me. hope
you win from them all next year, even

Kennedy can not participate in
inter-college sports at K. U. until he
has been there a year. He is as good
a student as an athlete and realizes
that athletics alone will not make him
living when he gets out of school.
