FOOTBALL SATURDAY.
Doane College Will Come Down
from Nebraska.

Manager Frank Leach of the Wash
burn football team has succeeded in
arranging first class football game to
be played in Topeka Saturday. Doane
college, of Crete, Neb., will be here with
a team which ranks second only to Ne
braska State university in strength.
At one time, six or eight years ago,
Doane was able to defeat the State
university, but in a game played with
K. U. at Lawrence, a member OF the
Doane team was killed on the field.
That put a stop to football at Doane,
and it is only within the past three
years that any effort has been made to
revive the game.
Topeka, coached the Doane team, and
he states that he learns from friends
at Doane that the college has very
strong team this year. One of the games
played by Doane was with the strong
team of Grand Island college, at Grand
Island, Neb., and Doane won by the
score of "a to 0.
Doane will not play here on Thanks
giving day AS was planned. the sat
urday's game takes the place of that
date On Thanksgiving, Washburn will
play the strong Highland Park college
team, from Des Moines, Iowa
This afternoon and Wednesday after
noon, the Washburn team will play IN
practice against the Topeka high school
team. The high school will play until
it is tired, and then the Washburn sec
ond eleven, which is being well organlz-
ed under the management of A. j. De
lay, the brother of ''Dooley' Delay Will
take up the struggle, This will give the
Washburn team exactly the kind of
practice it needs. Both st. Mary's col
lege and Campbell university decided
that they did not want to play the
games which were scheduled for this
week Campbell university frankly
confessed that its team was no good,
and could not even give Washburn an
interesting practice game.
Coach Kennedy is making some slight
changes in the Washburn line. up Cum
ningham may be changed to guard, and
Brown, who has been playing guard
may take his place. The coach has
found that Cunningham's work IS not
as aggressive as it should be. klene,
the big Medic who played on the team
last year. and on the Medics and high
school for several years, will probably
come out for practice. and if he does,
he will be available for guard, tackle,
and any line position. Amick, the new
student who is trying for end or nam
back, is showing up well, and will play
part of Saturdays game. 1t IS also
likely that Hale and Page, the huge
lihemen who have been discovered by
Coach Kennedy, will be given test OF
their mettle Hale and Page weigh 200
and $50 respectively, but they have new
er played football. The college is also
rejoicing in the return to school of Max
we'll, the man who played tackle last
year Maxwell is strong man, ana
may hustle some of the men who have
played so far on this years team Mil
lice may be held in reserve Saturday, TO
be used as either half or end. Dads
man. Mehl and Caldwell will probably
play the back field. Judge Anderson
will probably not play in Saturdays
game. His ankle is still weak, and he is
being held in reserve for the K. U.
game. sfDooley' Delay and Steele will
I1a used at quarter.

Show a mother how to feed her baby
so that it will be healthy, rosy and
plump and grow up strong and sturdy
and the mothers gratitude is everlast-
ing.
A mother says: Give weeks ago I
weaned baby but could not get her to
take any kind of food until I tried
Grape Nuts which she relished from the
first and on it she has pumped up and
blossomed into a fat, chubby little girl
I feed Grape-Nuts to her regularly
and use three packages a week for baby
and my three-year-old boy alone, and I
find that it regulates their bowels and
keeps them nourished, strong and in
good health all the time.
Since feeding my children on Grape
Nuts [ have used absolutely no medicine
for either of them. Such food as this
that does such wonders wins its way to
a mothers heart. Please accept our
thanks fer the good your food has done
in our family where we all eat it, Name

caught in such positions that they will
be crushed next spring Unless the

none of these boats will be able to reach
their destination.
The condition is unprecedented So
early in the year. Three of the steaNl-

Yukon from Dawson with $50 passengers

more than a third or a half OF the dis

through their passengers will have To
walk hundreds of miles. Many are not

steamers.
Five White Pass and two Independent

DEATHS IN THE STREET.
New York Board of Health Notes s
Marked Increaaa

New York. Oct. 2O.-OfieiaI figures of
the board of health, covering a period
OF three years show that the number
OF persons killed annually in the streets
OF New York is increasing in an alarm
ing degree.
THESE fatalities are growing. on more
than an even ratio with the growth of
population and business which indicates
either that pedestrians are becoming
more careless of their safety in the
streets or that drivers of cars and We
hIcies are growing more reckless and
the police less vigilant in enforcing the
ordinances which now exist for the reg
uIation of street traffic
In the year 1901 there were 432. persons
killed by vehicles and street railways.
In 1902 the number of such deaths
grew to 53S. When the figures for 1909
are compiled the death list from street
accidents will have reached nearly /, 900.

WHITE TO TRY A PLAY.
Commissioned to Write One for
Ezra Kendall.

William Allen White has been select
ed and commissioned to write new
comedy for Ezra Kendall to star in
next season. White has accepted the
commission and has undertaken the
task. 1t will be his first attempt at
playwriting.
1t was j. NJ. Barrie, author of 1.-THE
Little Minister" who was the first to
announce that the Kansas writer was
capable of writing comedy. The fol-
lowing dispatch from New York ex-
plains Whites being invited to join the
ranks of American playwrights:
TT was due to a suggestion made by
j. M. Barrie at a luncheon in London
that Mrs. Wigs, of the Cabbage
Patch was put on the stage. At this
luncheon Mr.. Barrie's guest was George
C. Tyler. of Liebler & Co, ard through
him Mr.. Barrie confided the fact that
he had read Mrs. Wigs with so much
enjoyment he believed it would make
sterling American comedy On Tyler's
return to America he opened negotfa-
lions for the characterization which has
been so successful. AT that same lunch
con Mr.. Barrie also advanced the be-
lief that in William Allen White
America had a writer of comedy not to
be excelled in any other country. SINH
lar negotiations were opened with MI
White, and they have at last borne
fruit. Ezra Kendall, on his return tour
from the Pacific coast, played in Kan
sas this week and there met Mr.. Whlte
and arranged with him for a comedy to
be produced as soon as the run of
The Vinegar Buyer is ended A cur
ious fact in connection with this is that
not one of Mr.. Barrie's own comedies
has ever been produced by Iiebler d
Co., but both his suggestions have
proved most valuable
Last week Mr.. White received a
lengthy communication from Mr.. Tyler
regarding a comedy for Mr.. Kendall
and inviting White to meet the come
dian when he played in Topeka last
Saturday. White was in town the day
before for the impromptu political meet
ing and he stayed over to see the NATL
nee and night performances of The
Vinegar Buyer and to meet Kendall.
After the matinee performance White
and Kendall were closeted at the Throop
comedy and they became so interested
in it that they talked until after the
supper hour and until it was time for
Kendall to go to the Crawford theafer
to make up for his part in the night
performance. White also attended the
night performance and he paid close
attention to Kendall's mannerisms and
his style of acting
What will be the plot of the new com.
edy Mr. White has not stated nor has
he divuIged the scene where it will be
laid. White has had plenty of expert
euces during his life in Kansas, which
embeIlished by his pen and frightened
with his own witticisms. would make
comedies that would be equal to the

comedy than THE Vinegar Buyer" goes
