Back.
CHANGE BACK FIELD.
Johnson Will Play Haughey's
Place at Full.

Washburn will send bunch of Grip
pies up to Manhattan Saturday morn
ing to play a football game with the
Kansas State Agricultural college. The
Agriculturists are strong, and in their
present condition, the Washburn team
will have no walk away.
Millice, Pearson, Lakin and Haughey
are all out of the game. Jim Stewart
will go with the team, but will probably
not play on account of his lame ankle.
Either Anderson or White will be at
quarter. Lakin viii not be in the game
and his place at left end will be taken
by either Thrailxill or Nash. Williams
will be shifted to Pearson's place at
right tackle, and Stahl will play right
half. Johnson will take Haughey's
place at fullback. The team will there
fore have five changes in it's line up
since the K. U.-Washburn game.
The line up will probably be as fol-
lows:
Right end-R. Stewart.
Right tackle-Williams.

rotary Farrell. In case he should not
make good with the Omahogs Topeka
may get him.
MacLear was without question one
of the best players in the valley. He
got off as many fast plays as Mig Per-
rine of Springfield or Olson of To-
peka. At the stick he was better than
either of those men, although his av-
erage does not proclaim that fact.
MacLear was not the easiest man in
the world to handle at all times, for
in his off days. it took a world OF
coaxing and petting to keep him at
his gait.
That means that the plan to put
Olson at second for the Saints, and
MacLear at short will have to be
changed. The Swede would like to
play on the second sack, and Captain
Abbott is anxious to keep him there
steadily for at least a month to see
what the results would be. Whether
this will change the plans depends
on whether a man to fill MacLear's
shoes can be found. He and Olson
are in class by themselves and either
is hard to duplicate.

LOSS OF THE YAsHINfA.
Sinking of the Japanese Battleship

Paris, Nov. 4-The Associated Press

Port Arthur and Toxic. last June, to the
effect that the Japanese battleship va
shima had been sunk by a mine off Dali
ny, which dispatches were denied by the

The Washburn bunch is now trying
to save itself for the game with Has
kell on November 10. There is a good
chance that Washburn may have a sur
prise on hand for the redskins. With
Millice, Caldwell, Stewart and Billy
Rice for a backfeld, Washburn will
present a combination which is hard to
beat. The Washburn line ought to be
able to hold Haskell level. Haskell
would probably have the best of 1t in
team work, but otherwise Washburn
certainly looks as though it might make
a lot of trouble for the aborigines.
The change of Stahl to half and
Johnson to full cuts down the weight
of the backfield considerably, but will
probably increase it's speed. Stahl is a
good player. but this is his first try out
of last years Topeka High school team,
and while he weighs only 152 pounds,
he is a fast man.

field to bluegrass and clover, and let it
turf over. This will make the field
much better, both for wet weather and
dry, besides making it much easier for
the players.

BETTER UNDER wINCHELL.
Rock Island Earnings Last Month
Show an Increase.

Rock Island figures show a turn for
the better in the operation of the
property. Instead of the usual de-
crease in net earnings there is gain
of 1873 per cent compared with the
corresponding month last year. The
figures embrace the first full month
operation under the management
which succeeded the Loree regime.
Apparently there is being accomplish
ed in part that which was aimed at
when Mr.. Loree was retired. Gross
earnings for the month decreased,
however, the net in gain being
through a reduction in operating ex-
penseS.
The Frisco system makes its usual
good exhibit, with an increase of 1O-1
per cent in gross. and a gain in net
of "a per cent. With the exception of
Peoria & Eastern a number of lines
reporting yesterday made good ex-
hibits. The Pennsylvania had a de-
crease of $292,1O0 in gross, but oper-
atines expenses were cut S550,000. and
the net shows a. gain of $527,90O.
