room are three basins in order that the
men may all wash simultaneously, if
they want to.
Downstairs adjoining the entrace hall
is another sleeping room for a man ser

any in the house, in addition to having
a private bath.
The rooms for the women servants are
on the top floor and accommodate six.
They are so arranged that two sleep in
each room and have the use of a bath
room. In addition to these apartments
there are two rooms and bath to be
used by any servant who happens to be

that a servant in them may be quaran-

There might be some justification for

petty abuse which should have been

Manager Frank Leach says: Our
team played a great game, and will
play still better one next Saturday.

greatest football event in the history
of the college. If we beat Lindsborg,
we ought to be able to beat the In

Leach says that the washburn team
did not intend to pile UP such big
score against Manhattan. t'Our plan
was" he says, ito win by about Is
points, and then slow down. But just
haitian players started in to play dirty
game, and there was some smuggling.
That made our boys mad. and they just
sailed in and played all kinds of rings
around the Dig farmers. IN the Secohu
