citement. There was, however, patrol
man standing on the platform who was
unable to comprehend the occasion and
for a moment interfered, thinking per-
haps that some one was attempting to
abduct Wichita citizens. After a fine
ride over the various lines the special
started on its return trip, reaching the
college at 1 O'Clock.
The cause of all this good feeling was
the return of the Paramount team from
a successful football excursion. While
no great scores were made. the team
fully merited this enthusiastic welcome.
The team left wichita on Saturday.
IN the afternoon they played Cooper
college at Sterling, where. after a very
stin battle, they defeated the Sterlingites
by score of to 0. The boys spent the
two following days at Lindsborg. On
Sunday the team attended the singing
services. for which Bethany college is 50
justly celebrated. and Monday afternoon
they lined up against the biggest and
strongest team Paramount has ever met.
The great size and powerful appearance
OF the massive Swedes was a stunning
sensation TO the Wichita lads; in fact.

not Gained down until Coach Hess called
them in the parlors Of Hotel Brunswick
and with warm words of assurance ex-
planned that every Fairmounter was ex-
pected to play his opponent to stand
still. That is exactly what happened. in
spite of the fact that Bethany averaged
over twenty pounds to the man heavier
her players were old and wise with ex-
perience, they were unable TO force the
ball across Fairmount's goal line. 1t
was only on a tumble, which compelled
Fairmount TO make a safety, that the
home team secured two points.
The result OF the game was a great
surprise to Lindsborg; they had just de-
feated Manhattan by score of II to 0;
they had on their team such players a
Woodward, who for two years had played
On the Kansas University eleven; L.
Peterson, who was a star in the state
normal team last year and during the
early portion of this season its captain;
also D. Peterson, Ottawa Universitys
strong halfback OF last year. Coach
Hess played with his team and although
not in the best form, inspired his men
with confidence and gave great snap
to the game.
