The next game for Topeka will be
played next Saturday with the Wash
burn team and the Ottawa Baptists as
opponents Ottawa has a fa1r team
this year and in the games with the
minor colleges of the state has made
good showing. They lost to the Nor
NAL by a close score of to and the
officials of this game are charged with
the defeat by the supporters of the
Baptists. Last Monday they were
badly defeated by Manhattan. At this
time is seems probable that they are
doomed for defeat by Washburn-
Ottawa, however, has always been bad
medicine for the local college team.
For years the two teams had an an
nual game scheduled for Thanksgiving
and honors in these contests were
about equal In the game in 1904
Ottawa had the Washburn team badly
scared. In the first half one of the
Ottawa men kicked a field goal and
Washburn failed to score The blue
got together in the second half, how
ever. and won the game. Last year
they. scored a. touchdown before Wash
/ burn did and matters looked pretty
dark for the locals for a while. The
final score, however, was 16 to 6.
Alpha Brummage, the captain and
fullback of the Kansas university team
of 1903, is coaching the Baptists this
year.
Missouri and Washington univer-
stiles are clashing on the gridiron in
St. Louis this afternoon The chances
are about even. Missouri is generally
thought to have a much faster team
but several of their best men are on
the sick list Missouri has the best
team they have had for some time and
are confident of winning from Kansas
this year. Assistant Coach 4'Izzy'' An
derson of the Missouri team, who was
in Topeka last Saturday. said after the
game that Kansas would have to play

ST. Louis university, the heavy
Catholic team which played rings
around Kansas university few weeks
ago. is playing Drake university this
afternoon. Although Drake has one
of the fastest teams in Iowa. the out
come of the game is expected to be a
walk-away for st. Louis. The hardest
game on the st. Louis schedule is the
Thanksgiving game with Iowa uni
versity. Iowa has representatives at
the game this afternoon who Will
watch the St. Louis style of play and
be prepared to report on their work
Iowa has a good team and should
make a good fight against the St
Louis bunch.
One of the biggest games in the
Rocky mountain region is being pulled
off this afternoon. Colorado and Utah
universities are playing at Salt Lake
City. This is the second long trip for
the Colorado team this season. This
trip takes them nearly seven hundred
miles from home. Nearly the same
team was taken on the trip as was IN
Topeka a few weeks ago. A player
who makes the Colorado team GER
tainly gets a lot of travel and sight

noon favors Utah. The Mormons de-

have figured in three tie games, one
with the Alumni, another with Wash

Aggies. The total score of the season
has been to p in favor of their op-
ponents. Last year. with Galley and
Roy Roberts in the lineup, they piled
up a score of 395 against the 46 OF
their opponents.
Although the Washburn authorities
are prone to consider st. Mary's a
smaller school and in a lower class
when it comes to work on the gridiron
the Washburn team is very anxious to
win the game which is being played
between the two schools this afternoon.
St. Mary's is the only team in the state
which has defeated Paramount, the
team which won a questionable victory
over Washburn. The Catholics turned
this trick by score of 6 to 0. Wash
burn hopes to win from ST. Mary's by
a large score and in this manner to
vanquish all the Fairmounters' hopes
of the state championship which they
now claim.
The fierce game which -Washburn put
up against the Kansas team last Sat-
urday is very discouraging to the foot
ball men at Oklahoma university. Kan
sas defeated the Sooners by a score of
20 to and Owens men were at thai
time playing their best Added to this
doleful dope comes the story from Ok
lahoma that several of her men are out
of condition. However, Oklahoma still
has hopes and the team is practicing
hard for the game. This is the biggest
game that will be played in Oklahoma
this year and is the first trip for
Washburn team to Oklahoma. Bonnie
Owen who is the coach of the Sooners
coached Washburn in 1900 and Wash
burn at that time had one of the great
est teams in her history. Oklahoma
played in Topeka last year and hello
Washburn to the low score of 9 to s.
Several of the star men of that team
are still with the team. Acton and
Truesdell last years halves, are with
the team this year and are playing
great game. Hughes, another of the
best men on the team last year is still
starring Cross, the quarterback Of
last year is another who still plays with
the Sooners. He was injured a few
weeks ago by an angry mob, but he
will probably play in the Thanksgiving
Day game.
The annual big game in Emporia is
being played this afternoon. The teams
from the State normal and the College
of ESnporia, the two Emporia. colleges.
are lined up on the Normal gridiron.
Both schools being situated in the sam,
town are very strong rivals and the
annual contest between the two teams
is very fierce Each would sooner win
from the other than to win any other
game in their schedules.

Nebraska has a game with Chicago
university next Saturday. Nebraska
has a strong team and judging from
the showing which each team has
made against Minnesota. the game
should not be a very one sided one af-
ter all. The Cornhuskers held Min
nesota to a score of 10 to 0. while the
Gophers defeated Chicago by a score
of to 2. The game will be played on
Marshall field in Chicago and great
preparations are being made for the
game at that place. This will be the
last college game for Walter Ecker
sail, the captain of the Maroons. and
one of the greatest players the game
has ever known. Without Eckersall.
Coach Stage will be confronted with
the hard task next fall of finding an
other full back to fill his place.
Rumors have been circulated to the
effect that the Washburn- Oklahoma
game which is to be played in Okla
homa City Thanksgiving day was to
be transferred to Topeka However,
this is untrue. Oklahoma City IS
making extensive preparations for the
game which is to be played there and
a large crowd is assured for this
game. There viii be another game In
Topeka on that date as the ST. Mary's
and Ottawa teams will have a game
on the grounds at the Western assoc
citation ball park.

NO DECEPTION
LABEEsoN MEAT PRODUCTS MUST
BE EXPLICIT.

WASHINGTON Aug. 3d. Nothing
short of the placing upon meat prod
|ucts of labels which will not deceive
the public was the ultimatum which
Secretary Wilson delivered to forty
representatives of the packing houses
who met here today. Hereafter if the
packers want their goods accepted for
interstate shipment they must bear
labels more specific than those used
in the past 1t will not do, for in

show that the sausage is made en-
tirely of pork, or of pork and beef COM
bined, or of other ingredients. The
same rule will apply to other products.
The elimination of certain advertis-
ing features on the labels also will be
insisted upon. AS to meat products
already put up, Secretary Wilson as
sured the packers it was not his in
tention to open every package, but to
select a certain percentage of them,

OPEN SHOT OF
REPUBLICANS
WILL BE FIRED AT LAWRENCE.
BURG BY THE HON. X. CLAY
EVANS.

The Republican State campaign will
open at Lawrenceburg on Monday
Sept. 10, when Hon. H. Clay Evans
the nominee for Governor, will make
his first speech of the pending con
test. This announcement was made
here Friday night by Mr. Evans, who
spent the night in Nashville en- route
to Huntingdon, where tonight he will
deliver lecture on American and
English Homes"
At the meeting of the State Commit
tee last Wednesday it was practically
decided that the campaign would be
opened On the date and at the place
mentioned, but final decision was left
to the State Chairman and the nomi-
nee, both of whom readily acquiesced
in what was apparent was the major
ity sentiment of the committee.
The Republicans of Lawrence
county made strong bid for the hon
or of opening the campaign, insisting
that owing to the local victory won in
the August election, and to the fast
that it was the center of large Re-
publican population, that the honor
was due that place. Big preparations
will be made for the occasion, and the
railroads will be asked to grant re-
duced rates from Nashville and all
intermediate points. Many of the
prominent party leaders will go with
Mr.. Evans from Nashville.
While other appointments have not
yet been definitely decided upon there
is little doubt that the first week of
the campaign will be spent by Mr..
Evans in the Republican tier of coun-
ties along the southern border of the
State. On Tuesday following the open
ing the nominee will probably speak
at Waynesboro, on the following day
in Hardin county, and doubtless on the
succeeding day in McNairy county.
From that county Mr.. Evans may go
to either Chester or Henderson coun-
ty.-Nashville American.
