Two of the Strongest Teams In Kan
sas to Meet Next Monday.

Ottawa, Oct. 20.-The slump in foot
ball interest at Ottawa, which has been
perceptible ever since the Ottawa-Kan-
sas university game. scheduled for last
Monday, was declared off, has taken a
decided reaction. The boys are again
livening up into their old form. They be-
leve they have a much stronger team
for opponents in next Mondays game at
Lawrence than would have been the
mighty jayhawkers.
Monday Ottawa will meet Haskell at
Ottawa and Ottawa expects the hardest
game of the season with the exception
Of the Thanksgiving game with Wash
burn. Both Ottawa and Haskell are in
good form and both have been defeated
but once this season, the former by K u
by a score Of to 0 and the latter by
Washburn, u to 0. Otherwise neither
team has been scored against. Realizing
their hard proposition, the boys worked
like beavers last Wednesday and put up
one Of the fastest practice games seen
on the university athletic field for some
time Charles. one OF the best men on
the team, has been compelled by school
duties to give up his position at left end.

SWEEPING THE STREETS.
Street Commissioner Snyder Wrest-
ling With the Problem.

The street commissioner force was
out Thursday sweeping the streets In
the daytime. This is an unusual occur
renee, as the force is occupied at other
work got behind and the force was put
to work sweeping Jackson, Quincy,
West Sixth and a portion Of Tenth.
The street force is so small that when
the sweeping is done in the day all the
men have to be taken away from the
work on the parks along the recently
paved streets, and this throws them be-
hind in their work.
The city owns two old sweepers which
have been in use since they first swept
streets and they do not do good work.
and are a very heavy item of expense.
1t is possible to use the old sweepers
twenty days before new brushes have
to be put in. 1t costs about S13 to do
this. The modern sweeper which is
used in all of the cities at the present
time will do more work and the brushes
can be replaced at a cost not to exceed
So 1t seems that the city is displaying
very poor economy In this respect
Street Commissioner Snyder said this
morning, when asked why he had his
force out doing sweeping in the day
time: I'VE were a little behind in the
work and I was anxious to get those
streets cleaned. We could not do il at
night because we can not work as rap
idly in the night. II we have good luck
and the old SWeeperS DO not get out OF
fix, we can sweep about twenty three
blocks during the night. II we can work
in the day we can sweep from thirty
seven to forty blocks. If the city owned
a sprinkler to run in front of the sweep
ers we could work in the day and do at
least a third more work At night we
can sweep without a sprinkler as the
dust does not bother the people"
The city needs one force to do moth
ing but sweep the streets, but the pres
ent force is altogether too small to prop
erly attend to the streets.
