  RDsq2|Iz|!19yCzu8, | Monday afternoon was the first real ! football day of the season. The keen whip of the chilly air was just right to bring out the pep and make the In spite of charley horses, ribs and stiffness, “Crip” Gray’s Ichabods took | full advantage of the day and began getting into shape for Saturdays bat tie with the Missouri teachers at War rensburg. The strong Baker line last Saturday left few lasting impressions on the sturdy Ichabods and most of the men were in excellent shape and “ready to go” Monday. Probably the most lasting impress sion Gallagher’S men made on the Ichabods was that they need to pay more attention to their knitting and devote more time to rounding out their I team work. This the Ichabods are take a stronger team than Baker to again hold them to a to score. | Last Saturdays scores in Kansas and elsewhere are still the principal topic of conversation among football fans. Emporia’s extraordinary showing against K. u, the st. Mary’s and Man prises are the subject of varied opinions and controversies. Many think that K. u. did not do her best against the light Emporia / GlcNcH, OlneTS are OI the OPINION CnaI Emporia must be abnormally strong and still others assert that the football beef trust has been forever dissolved and that the open game has made weight a secondary consideration on the gridiron. This latter argument seems to be the most plausible and the most consistent explanation. Lightweight elevens all over the United States did the same thing Saturday that Emporia | ot – t. exactly the same way: namely, by applying the speed and using forward passes. If there is anything in signs and symbols. then the big elevens had as well begin to change their tactics or prepare to lose their leadership, for every indication is that football is in the midst of a silent revolution that is destined to bring victory to the fleetest and eliminate the weight handicaps from the game. Comparative figures show that K. u. and Missouri are about of the same strength this season. X. U. defeated William Jewell two weeks ago 48 to 2, and Missouri defeated the same eleven Saturday 46 to 0. ! X. US game this week will be against Drake university at Des Moines. Drake defeated Central col lege last Saturday week ago 81 to O., and Grinnell Saturday 20 to Z. These scores indicate that the Jayhawkers will have a hard game. i A comparative estimate on Wash burn and the College of Emporia can be made after the Emporia eleven meets Baker next Saturday. Wash burns game Saturday against the Missouri Normals should be an easy ( one, but the Ichabods will do we’ll to get as much out of it as possible and Coach Gray will, in all likelihood, drive his men at their best pace. university at st. Marys Saturday and the University of Nebraska will play the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan. This latter game also should give some The big intersectional fight of next Saturday will be between Notre Dame and Yale. From the showing the two teams have made SO far, it looks as though the western boys ought to give a good account of their stewardship. Notre Dame has been playing whirlwind ball while Yale has not covered herself with glory by any means. The Wolverines play Michigan Aggies Saturday and Pittsburg meets Car isle.
