THE W. M.
GAME SHOULD BE A
REAL STRUGGLE
Dope FavOrs X. M. S. AS Annu-
al Battle Approaches.

From The W. M. A. Trumpeter.
Next Thursday Wentworth will
meet an ancient and honored rival.
Kemper Military School, in their an
nual Turkey Day game and from all
indications it is going to be some bat
tie. This game is called by many
The Prep School Classic of the Mid
die West" and perhaps justly so, for
nowhere else in this section of the
country is there a more thrilling and
eolorful contest than the n between
these rival military schools of Mis-
souri,. The fact that both b~attalions
with their excellent bands are always
present at the games lends a military
dash and color that enhances the at
traction Of the day. And then the
football game itself is always worth
while. Wentworth and Kemper al
ways fight each other hard. That is
a long-standing tradition. There are
always thrills and spectacular move
ments that do justice to a big uni
versity game.
This year the usual crowd of Wis
itors will be on hand, and in addition
a large crowd of former Wentworth
cadets, who will be back for the
homecoming"
AS far as old man dope" is con-
cerned, he gives Kemper the edge.
But, then, Kaiser Bill had it doped
out that he would be Emperor of the
World, but it's history that he amt.
There is nothing more uncertain than
dope" But, on paper, Kemper really
seems to have a big advantage.

played a ascoreless tie. K. NJ. S. con-
quered the Ducks 21 to o. Went
worth won over NJ. M. A. IA to 0.
Kemper handed them a 80 to 0 de-
feat. But Wenthworthians should
take heart when they remember that
against c. B. C. several of the most
valuable Red and White warriors
were on the sidelines with injuries,
and also when NJ. M. A. was swamp
ed by Kemper several of the Mexico
players were out but they were all
in against Wentworth That should
even matters up.
But at that, W. M. A. rooters are
not kidding themselves in to believ-
ing that K. NJ. S. will be easy pick
ings, Kemper will outweigh Went
worth. And they really have a bet
ter record this year. But the team
and the whole school are going into
that game with an old fighting spir-
it that has never been surpassed.
They realize what a task is before
them and with grim, bulldog deteri-
mination they are going out and over
come all obstacles by sheer grit and
fight. The Wentworth Spirit Will
have to be reckoned with on that day.
And the warriors of the Red and
White will not finch from the KEN
peritesl
Therefore, it is safe to predict that
it will be some struggle on Thanks
giving Day.
For it all amounts to this. Mel.
Their Wentworth's nor Kemper's goal
lines have been crossed this year in
a conference game. Whichever wins
that Turkey Day battle will have a
clear title, The Conference Champi-
