coach as he was player in his days

Kansas is not worrying about any
of the Missouri valley teams as yet
Attention is centered on turning out
a team which can defeat the Army
when the Crimson and Blue journeys
back to West Point to meet the Army
eleven. The prospects never looked
brighter for a good team this early
in the season Coach "Potsy" Clark
has announced. This game probably
will attract more attention than any
other game in the country, especially
in the Kansas and Missouri valley
circles. Nebraska started the east
ern and western schools mixing when
it met Notre Dame. and since that
William Jewell and Centre have come
west for games. Eastern football fol-
lowers are beginning to recognize
that the wild westerners'' are to he
considered in future football contests.

played October Z.
Howard Yeager. who played with
Topeka high school last year, has
practically cinched q backfield post
ton with the Salina high eleven this
year. Yeager is a heavy loss to To-

perience, and trains hard.
