that it was a miracle that the man was

two fingers.
Saari is reported to have been lying
in little hollow between the rails

approached. He was lying facedown-

Benny Owens Says His Team Is
in Good Shape.
GAME STARTS AT 3. pm.

Halves.

on Railroads.
GAME STARTS AT 3. PM.

With both teams reasonably conf
dent of victory, the game between
Washburn and Oklahoma Saturday
afternoon at O'Clock on Washburn
field promises to be one of the
hardest football battles of the season.
The fact that the two teams are
about equal in weight will give the
Oklahoma crowd a much better
chance than it had against the heavy
K. Z. team. In that game, Oklahoma
was unable to show its real strength
because it was almost outclassed in
weight.
This is the dispatch which was
sent out from Kansas City concerning
the condition of the Oklahoma team:
1.-THE University of oklahoma eleven
is working out daily at the Athletic
clubs oval and Coach Benny
owens is much pleased with the way
the men are taking hold of their work.
He is glad that the game with the
Medics was SO one-sided, because II
will tend to give the team q little more
encourag cement. The men were pretty
badly shaken UP after the defeat by
Kansas, but since they defeated the
Medics so badly they have braced up
and are working hard as they realize
that the Washburn game, which is
scheduled for tomorrow afternoon,
viii be a hard one. owens coached
Washburn at one time and would like
nothing better than to see the long
end of the score in Oklahoma's favor
He says that the Topeka football fans
are going to be greatly surprised to-
morrow afternoon and that if all
signs do not fail the Washburn team
is on the eve of defeat.
Both teams have so far this season
shown great strength on offensive
work. and have not done especially
well on defense This has been espe-
ciaIly true of Washburn. The prob
ability is that the team which wins the
game tomorrow will be the one which
puts up the best defensive game.
DR.. Outland, coach of the Washburn
team, announced today that Glenn
Haughey. the regular Washburn end,
will be able to play at least a portion
of the game. Haughey will take his
old place at left end. and George

right Plat will play center, and this
will cut dow the aggregate weight of
the line about 80 pounds
The probability is that the attendance
at the game will be very large, if the
weather is good. People who are look
ing for great football game realize
that they will get their moneys worth
in the Oklahoma contest. The grand
stands have been arranged so that re-
served seats may be bought in advance
of the game, and each ticket entities
the holder to a special seat. The tickets
are on sale at Stansfield's.
On account of the fact that 80 minute
halves win be played, and the short
days, the game will be started at three
o'clock.
It is likely that E. c. Quigley of St.
Marys and Harry Scandrett of Topeka
will be the referee and umpire. These
names have been proposed to Oklahoma,
and no objection has been made so far.

In & paper read before the Philologi.
cal Society of the University of Mich.
gan, recently, Professor George Hempl
commented upon the forerunners Of
our present system of enumeration.
Some two years ago, in seeking the
origin of the Runic letters (the first
letters used by the Germanic races),
Professor Hempl discovered the print
tive Germanic mineral notations.
This threw new light upon the early
Germanic numerical system, as well as
upon the primitive Indo European nu-
merical system, and upon the devel-
opment of the Greek alphabet. and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive Indo- European numer-
ical system was a mixture of the deci-
NAL and the sexagesimal The first
large number was the ''hund," or hun
bred" that is 100. Between sixty and
100 there were no numbers like our
seventy, etc, seventy being "a shock
and ten" and eighty being "a shock
and twenty" The introduction of our
present numbers between sixty and
100 arose out of the introduction Of the
decimal hund or hundred, that is, 100,
in distinction from which the old 100
900 was called the duodecimal hun
bred, or the "great hundred" which is
still used in Iceland and parts OF Eng
land.--New York Tribune.
