shape, the JayhaWkers will go into the

detract from the attendance, but Coach
Boynton stated yesterday that the team
was in miserable condition and can not
hope to do anything except on punts,

ability in the two latter plays it viii be

In the east the game attracting the
most attention IS the annual battle be-
tween Yale and Princeton at Princeton.
The sons of Old Eli are looked upon as
sure winners Last Saturday they scored
an overwhelming victory against the
Carlisle Indians, while Princeton has
been beaten by Cornell and Columbia
and played to a standstin by numerous
other smaller teams.
The only other big eastern game is
that between the Carlisle Indians and
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is out for
revenge Last year the red men scaiped

that what they don't do to the braves to-

White is in doubt about ever fighting
again. His ankle, which was so badly
injured in his second fight with McGov-

F1LIPINos FOR EMPoRIA.
Two Little Brown Men Will Attend
the State Normal.

Emporia, Nov. 17.-At least two Fill
pinos will be registered at the normal
school next September. Two families
have offered to take a native apiece and
see that he has home while he attends
the normal. This is the result of the
proposition made by the government to
the normal schools to educate few Fill
ipinos after the government pays the ex-
pense of bringing them over. Emporia
can have five or six if she wants them.
No charge will be made for their tuition,
but it will be necessary for some one to
provide a means for the natives to sup
port themselves.
The two families who have offered to
take two of the F'ilipinos are doing so
for philanthropic reasons. They will be
given some work to do but it will be
more a case of living at home than
working for their board.
