And the papers that have defamed Wilson will bow to the next rPresident and everything here will be lovely until the next big Polivent.

RAH! RAH! Truck DRIVERS!
THEY HAVE A COLLEGE NOW
The school was established to supply the need of merchants for chauffeurs who can not only drive but also repair cars. Heretofeo, when a dealer bought a truck he simply assigned one of his teamsters to ride with the expert sent with the machine for a week or so and in that time he learned to run the car under ordinary conditions but as soon as difficulty presented itself the garage force had to be resorted to.
A course in aeronautics was talked of for K. U., but it remained for the Y. M. C. A. of Boston to start a college for truck drivers.

A COLLEGE SING
TONIGHT IN CHAPEL
Football Rally to Begin Promptly at Seven O'Clock
An old fashioned college sing will be held tonight in chapel at seven o'clock. After the song fest at Fraser a trip to the boarding place of the football team will be made and a serenade staged. The band will lead the procession and the Glee members will help out with the singing.
The meeting will be in the nature of a football rally with the singing as the principal drawing card. The Kansas football team is not going to have any too smooth sailing in Topeka Saturday and a good bunch of rooters is needed to help up the Kansas spirit.
Topeka enthusiasts are planning on a strong representation at the game and many alumni of the University, who will be attending the State Teachers' Convention, will be able to go out and enough to go out to the Washburn field and cheer "Old Kansas" on to a victory.
Come out tonight and join the boosters.

SONS OF ICHABOD EXPECT TO BEAT K. U.
Washburn Team Determined to Humble Jayhawkers at Topeka Saturday
TEAM IN BEST OF CONDITION
Driver's Men Will Put up Best Fight of the Season Against Kansas.
B. E. W. W.
Outside of politics the all absorbing" topic of conversation in Topeka and around the Washburn football camp is how bad the Sons of Ichabod are going to trim Kansas Saturday afternoon. The sentiment for the Blues has even gone farther than talk and many of the supporters are betting large sums that this is Kansas year to be beaten.
Betting is Heavy.
The writer had no more than arrived in town yesterday when he had varied bets offered him. The Washburn backers are even willing to wager on how big the score will be against the Jayhawkers. There were so many differences that Driver's men might lose; its just a matter of score.
The school was cheered yesterday and the superstitious student give another four-leafed clover in the presentation to the athletic department of a picture of the 1900 team, sent in by a graduate in Omaha. That was the team that Bennie Owen coached, and the team that descended on Captain Wilcox's KU. eleven at Lawrence and defeated it 24 to 0; and later repeated with it 29 to 0 victory at Topeka.
Popular sentiment seems to place Washburn's limit at 14 points and some of the dopesters are willing to concede that Kansas may get a goal from placement. As for K. U. making a touchdown, why that is absurd.
Last Saturday at Emporia against, the Teachers the Washburn team kept all its pet plays blanketed. Straight football and punting was all the team used and as a consequence lost the game by one point. But this does not seem to worry Coach Driver a bit and he is filling his men with the "Beat Kansas" spirit. The way the team worked in a spirited practice yesterday afternoon it would seem that the Jayhawkers will face a bunch of fighting tigers Saturday. The men on the team and the students of the school would rather defeat K. U. than win all the other games on the schedule.
Last year Kansas had a hard fight against the Topeka team. This year the team is' fifty per cent stronger than last and the K. U. team does not seem to be cutting a very wide swath in football circles. The game promises to be a "dinger" from every standpoint.
Driver Shifts Players.
Coach Driver has made several shifts in the lineup for the Kansas game. He has placed "Cack" Smiley, one of the best quarterbacks in the state and probably in the Missouri Valley, back in his old position. Smiley has been playing half-back part of the time this season but will direct the plays against Mossie's men. Smiley is the man Kansas will have to watch as he is an adept with the forward pass play and is a broken field runner of ability.
Captain Tomlinson has been shifted to fullback, his old position, and Berg and Lowe, two fast halves, will represent the team, who will present its strongest power.
Kansas will, in all probability, be outpunted in the game. This may be a big factor in keeping the game a tie. Trobert the Washburn kicker has booted the oval consistently all season for more than 40 yards to the right of the center field fence we than the Jayhawker kicks have avenged.
Taking all the dope into consideration it looks as if the game Saturday would result in a tie. If one team scores the other is almost sure to win, hit and push the ball over. The players get near either goal. Many of the dopesters claim that the contest will end in a 0 to 0 score.
