last legislature and the remedy was fur
nished-
Under the new law which provides
that superintendent shall take their
seats in May, it was argued that the
district schools of the state would be
closed at that time and the old super1n-
tendent would not be interrupted dur
ing their course and the new superin-
to qualify for the office outside of school
hours.
There is more or less detail work in
this Office and the friends of education
pointed out to the legislative commit
tees that the new system was much
more desirable than the custom of in
augurating these officials along with
other county officers in the first week in
January.
This new law caused another question
to be raised but the authorities have
held in favor of the new superintend-
ent.
In May and June the plans for the
county Institutes are made 1t was sug
gested that there might be a difference
coming superintendent as to the selec-
ton of instructors and conductors for
these institutes.
Some held that the outgoing superin-
tendent should have the privilege of Sc
lecting these instructors and conductors
because the other arrangements for the
institutes would be made during the
term which he occupied the office.
Others argued that the new superin-
tendent would be responsible for the in
stitutes and that he should have the
privilege of selecting the educa tors
whom he deemed best fitted for the
work.
The question was referred to the state
superintendent, Frank Nelson, who said
in a letter:
1T seems to me that courtesy to the
incoming superintendent would permit
him to name the instructors and con-
ductors for the Institutes
Mr.. Nelson also pointed out other rea-
sons why he believed the incoming sup
erintendent should select the corps of
teachers for the institutes, and this rule
will be followed throughout the state.
Frank Nelson seems to have made
himself popular with the school teachers
of Kansas. judging from the fact that the
election returns thus far received indi-
cate that he is probably the leader in
ote-getting on the Republican state
ticket. Frank Grimes was also very
popular and the honor seems to be be-
tween Grimes and Nelson.

HARVARD Is ALARMED.
Team Which Toyed With the Quakers
Is Now in a Dreadful Way.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 14.-There is
disappointment at Harvard. The Grim
son team is certainly slumping again.
The showing against Brown was the
same loose careless football that was
played against Carlisle two weeks ago.
Harvard then barely pulled out from
Carlisle and was scored on. II to be-
ing the result Yesterday Yale made
80 against the Indians Presumably the
Indians have improved in two weeks,
and Yale regardless of the compare
tive scores. must be far ahead of Har-
ward.
Yale has to meet Princeton next Sat
urday. Harvard, with Captain DAILY on
crutches. has two weeks of secret work
ahead. What viii be the result can be
found out at New Haven on Nov. "a.
Days loss is the worst of all. Prob
ably ne will get round in time to play
in the Yale game, though he can not
touch his feet to the ground now. The
team lacked a brilliant example and a
leader yesterday DAILY can get life in
to the men. Fincke could not Fincke
played brilliantly, but he accomplished
work The subbacks were not together,
and the regular line gave way badly at
times. At present Harvard'S backs are
utterly unframed in team play, because
they have been out whole week, with
Daily hurt and the linemen Indifferent,
careless, and inefficient.
Unless there is another brace, as there
was against Pennsylvania. the outlook
is not good.
Zeus Roberts has left the varsity and
gone to the freshman team Shea, a big
guard, has done the same. This will
center men for next Saturday against
the Yale freshmen. Roberts still weighs

TOUR FOR THE INDIANS.
Haskell Indians Will Play at Cincin-
natl and Colum bus.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE Has
l1ell Indians will not play the game
scheduled with TarIdo college. The Mis-
sourians wanted the braves to pay their
own expenses and take chances on gate
receipts, but the Indians will not play
under those conditions. The team has
most enviable record this year, having
been beaten but once, and since then
they won from the same team by a score
of IL to 5. Their victims are Kansas
State Normal, % to 0 and IS to 0;Ottawa,
to and IL to o. and Missouri and
Warrensburg were both badly beaten
by the reds. The men are kept at work
hard every night by Coach Ellick.
Dugan is in the Indian hospital with
the numps, but will probably be out in
a few days. Guyon is also laid up.
Bent's leg is getting along in good shape
and he will be able to play a good game
on the eastern trip.
The first game on the trip will be
with the Cincinnati university eleven on
the 24th and the Thanksgiving game
will be with the Ohio Medical college al
Columbus. 1t is thought that the braves
will be able to win both of these games.
Coach Ellick has made a great reputa-
ton as a coach here, and the credit for
the Indians showing is largely due to
his methods. The team plays the pref
test, snappiest game seen in Lawrence
for some time, and makes up in speed
and accuracy what it lacks in weight.

M'GovERN THE VICTOR.
Had the Fight of His Life to Best Kid
Broad in Six Rounds

Chicago. Nov. 14.-Kid Broad of
Cleveland, stayed six rounds with Terry
AcGovern at Tattersalls last night, and
although McGovern had the fight well
in hand at most stages, he never had
an opponent who came back at him
more stoutly. and who gave him as
much in the same time as did the little
stocly fellow who faced him last night
Broad fought a wonderful fight mixing
it freely with McGOvern at all stages
and scoring two clean knockdowns. A
third time he landed a left on McGov-
ern, sending him nearly down. Broad
kept his feet throughout the fight, ex-
cept in the first round, when he was
knocked down, and in the sixth when
he went down of his own accord to rest
He could not have fought another round
however, and was completely smoth-
cred by the storm of blows which the
champion rained upon him. The men
entered the ring at 10:45, Broad coming
first. followed closely by McGOvern
Broad was seconded by Tommy Ryan
Harry Forbes and Casper Leon. Bat
Masterson acted as tinekeeper. In Nc
Governs corner was Sam Harris, Sam
Bolen and Jack Root, Joe Humphreys
holding the watch for him. The fight
was made under articles calling for 126
pounds at 3 O'Clock. McGoyern's weight
was announced as 1929, and Broad's
125.
CORRETT CHALLENGES JEFFRIES.
After the fight James J. Corbett en-
tered the ring and read the following
challenge:
Il. James J. Corbett. have this day

Second, if Mr.. Jeffries does not think
that six rounds is a fair test I will box
him twenty or twenty-five rounds or to
a finish before any club in the country
Offering the best inducements winner

The challenge was received with loud
cheers and calls for a speech. Corbett
said in reply to the calls:

he likes and give him rs per cent, win
