/ in Winfield.
battles are to take place in the state
/ this week every one of the seven be-
! ing between Kansas conference
elevens At least four of the games
promise to be quite close, judging
from past performances of these
teams this season. The Ottawa uni
notwithstanding clash in Ottawa seems
to be an even clash, as also does the
Washburn-C. of Z. contest in Topeka.
Friends and Southwestern seem to be
fairly evenly matched and the game in
Winfield Saturday should prove an in
teresting one. Bethany and McPher-
son also are due to play a fairly close
game in Mcpherson if both teams play
up to their usual form.
Sterling has won one game this sea-
son. taxing the lOn5 emu OL d o 10 "
score from the Presbyterians at the
Emporia school. This is one of the
first games the Sterling eleven has
won in several years, and it should put
lot OF pep into the Sterlingites.
Sterling lost to Southwestern. 10 to
0, in a season opener, then lost 10
Kansas Wesleyan, to 0. lost to Beth
any Is to 0, and lost to Friends, "a
to 6.
Ottawa has won from none of the
teams in the conference this year, but
it has met some of the strongest teams
in the conference. The first defeat Of
the season for the Coach E. r. Elbel
team was the loss to Washburn. 13 to
19. in the season opener Then the
Baptists went to Hays and let the
Hays Normal eleven take the long end
of g to Is score Ottawa lost to
c. of E.. to IA, while Sterling won
over the College to 0. This would
give the Sterling eleven the advan-
tage in the game today. 1t also is re-
ported that several of the regulars are
to be out of the lineup for the Bap
fists Friday. Kieth. center. and Har-
ris, Kennedy and Watt, backfield men,
are out on account of their studies.
This will give Sterling the advantage
and it really should be Sterling 81
game. for Harris is one of the best
men in the Baptist backfield. He it
was who was responsible for the de-
feat of Topeka high school on the OF
tawa field last year. when he was a
member of the Ottawa high eleven.
While c. of Z. was leading the con-
ference with the Kansas State Normal
eleven until last week when the
Sterling eleven took the Coach Gwinn
Henry crew for royal trimming, it
has not been considered one of the
strongest teams in the conference this
year. So when the Presbyterians come
to Topeka Saturday to meet the WASH
burn Ichabods. the odds will slightly
favor the Ichabods. There is the jinx
to overcome on the part of the Wash
burn crew, if it can be considered a
jinX- In past years Washburn has lost
to the Presbyterians, when the Icha-
bods really were the favorites.
Washburn has not been playing
championship ball this year, but the
games in which Washburn has played
were hard fought for the most part.
The Kansas State Normal won from
Washburn, "a to 0, but the score does
not tell the story. 1t was a hard
fought game, and not until the last
quarter did the Emporians outclaSs
the IchabodS to great extent. 1t was
quite apparent, however, that the
Coach Mike" Vosberg crew was up
against a superior team at Emporia, |
and it was no disgrace to any team to
lose to such a combination as Coach !
''Bil' Hargiss has at the Normal.
Washburn is getting into shape this |
week for the Saturday contest with a |
lot of scrimmage. Scrimmage with |
