The Ottawa Sterling contest in OF
taHa this afternoon is due to be a
good game, with the dope favoring the
Presbyterians. Ottawa has some men
out on account of studies, and will be
weakened.
In the conference games Saturday,
Washburn should triumph over c. OF
E, Kansas State Normal should beat
Pittsburg by large score. st. Mary's
should defeat Kansas Wesleyan in Sa-
lima, Baker looks like a winner over
Paramount, Mcpherson will humble
Bethany. and Friends should get<ehe
long end of the score from South
western.
1t is seldom this column makes
guesses on games, so this dope may
be far from true, but that is the way
it looks to us.
Some important clashes are due to
take place in the Missouri valley this
weekend. The contest which is of
most interest to Kansas fans is the
clash with Kansas and Nebraska at
Lawrence. Nebraska seems to have
the best team in the valley and only
the fact that the Cornhuskers have
had a long trip the last week gives
the Kansas team much confidence.
The long trips to the east seem to
weaken the valley and big Ten

upon their return gives the opponent
the advantage. Kansas was handi-
capped by not being in condition after
the clash at West Point, and was
ern conference all but lost to the Illini
eleven after playing Yale and win
ming.
Kansas made a good showing
against Oklahoma last week, showing
much strength over the Kansas Ag-
gies contest, and many fans believe
the Nebraska team will be held to a
small score. 1t will be remembered
that Nebraska piled up 20 to over
Kansas in the first half of the 1920
contest at Lawrence, theI Kansas
came back in the second half and
evened up the score, the final being
20 to 20. 1t is to be hard game, of
course with Nebraska the favorite. but
Kansas is said to be loaded with foot |
ball for the clash Most of the Kan |
sas men VIII be IN conditlon Tor the
game. McAdams, who was injured in |
the Oklahoma game, is expected to be |
ready for the Huskers. The Kansas
line has been functioning well, and a |
great battle is expected between the |
com fed Nebraska linemen and the |
heavy Kansans. |
Missouri and Oklahoma are due to |
play a hard game at Norman. Okla
homa held the Kansas Aggies to a tie i
score, while Missouri lost to the Ag- \
gies, Il to 10, which gives the Sooners A
a little the edge, but at that the game 1
promises to be one of the most exciting !
of the valley. Its outcome will be |
watched with interest.
Drake should have a pretty hard |
game with Colorado outside the con-
ference, with the Coloradoans being |
slightly the favorites. Washington also |
is playing outside the conference.
Tennessee in st. Louis. Cor
nell college and Grinnell should play
a rather even contest at DeS Moines, !
with Grinnell slightly the favorite.
Haskell Indians, non-conference
troit university eleven Saturday. The
Indians lost to Marquette last week.
the first defeat of the season for the
Redskins.
Iowa State meets the Kansas Ag-
giles in Manhattan for the annual con-
test between the Iowa team and the
Kansas farmers. 1t should be a hard
game for the Iowans, as the Aggies d
are being picked as winners by most
of the fans.
Several contests in the Big Ten"
clash this week will lend excitement
to the fans. Chicago, after a week of
bus to meet the Buckeye eleven of
Ohio State, which last year won from
the N''windy City" to 0. The fact
that Michigan and Minnesota won
from the Buckeyes makes Chicago the
favorite. 1t is a known fact that the
Ohio eleven is net strong as in for !.
mer years. 4
Iowa meets Minnesota at Iowa City
and it is the hope of the Minnesbtans
