CARNIVAL IN FULL BLAST.
GrOunds-AH the Shows arc Said to
DC Fine.

---
immense crowds of merrymakers
thronged the carnival gorunds last
night and up to a late hour there We're
large numbers ~patrOnizing all the tent
ed shows.
Very favorable comment was heard
on all sides as to the attractiveness of
the various shows, all of which are do
ing a tremendous business.
The Eagles have worked faithfully to
guarantee a week of enjoyment to their
friends and they feel gratified al the
suspicious start that has been made.
. The shows were opened early yester-
day afternoon and they gave contin-
uous performances until a late hour
last night. The streets On which the
carnival is situated were blocked with
a merry, good natured crowd, each per-
o seemingly vieing with the other in
having a good time.
Ali the shows are. said to be good
ones and the company is praised for
being one of the best that has ever
exhibited in this. city.
A sufficient number of police has
been detailed to duty on the carnival
grounds and perfect order is assured at
all times. ..
The carnival band is an especially fine
aggregation of musicians and their
daily concerts down town attract hum
dreds of persons.cS

men in shape for the game of next Sat
urday Fit. Riley played the Washburn
team this afternoon and on account of
this game the Blue squad has not
had much time to practice especially
Tor the game next Saturday.
For several years the two schools
nave met in annual contests but never
has the Farmer team been able to de-
feat the Congregational lads. Last year
they made matters pretty interesting
Tor Washburn but still the blue won
out There Is a rumor which has been
going the rounds concerning the game
of q. year ago which shows how badly
the Farmers would like to beat Wash
burn. The score stood to when time
was up The ball was on Washburn's
twenty-five yard line. The Manhattan
timekeeper however insisted that there
was still a few seconds to play. Man
haitian lined up for a place kick but
Captain Hill of the Washburn team
broke through and blocked the ball He
recovered it and then followed with
run of eighty-five yards for a touch
down. The final score was z to 5.
It was not very long ago that a foot
bah team at the State Agricultural col
leee was something Of huge joke. Two
years ago WaShburn defeated them by
a score of Sc to 0. However, last fall
the prospects for a losing team vanish
ed with the advent of Coach w c.
Ahern in the Farmer camp. The team
last year surprised everybody and made
every game a close one. They had a
fine team to start out with this year.
Nearly every man on the team is we'll
aunded in the rudiments of the game
and a good style Of. team work has been
developed. If any team beats the
''Aggies' this year 4hey-will have to.
play football to do it.
The student body Of A.c. are
very enthusiastic over the prospects for
their team this year. Arrangements
are being made in Manhattan for bring
ing over one thousand students to Tope-
ka to root for the team. A big brass
band win accompany the delegation of
students and If the efforts of a thousand
students in their roofing avail anything
Manhattan win play a great game.

Washburn's hardest game between
now and the time for the struggle with
Kansas university viii be the one next
Saturday between Washburn and the
''Aggies'' of Manhattan. The 'sAggies'
have made the best showing of any of
the Kansas colleges this year outside of
Washburn and Kansas university. They
have made even a better showing in the
games than the College of Emporia.
Several Of the boys from the College OF
Emporia were ID the city yesterday and
made the statement that the "Aggies"
would defeat Washburn on Saturday.
This statement, however may be
aseribed to the fact that their defeat
from the Agriculturists is very recent
and had not yet been forgotten.
Washburn is confident of beating the
team from up the Kaw. 1t is not an
uncommon thing for some Of the Wash

May Train During the Spring at san

Chicago, Oct. 24-The selection of a
training ground will occupy the atten-
ton of President Murphy from now on
until spring. Manager Chance viii not
stop off on his way to California TO
look over any conditioning grounds,
but will leave that to Murphy to do
during the winter.

ed there for spring practice. Frank
Selee has written that he would be
glad to have US come out there for our
spring work. and guess will go west
for a trip and take in the situation al

So far none of the Cubs are reported
year The usual bluff will be put In by
some of the players about going into
business next year again, but most or
them will annex their signature to
when the proper time comes for them
to get in line. Most of the work of
signing the men for the coming year
will likely fall on President Murphy
away from the scene of battle in his
winter quarters at Ocean Park, near
Los Angeles.
John King will leave for his home In
Kansas City at once, where he expects
to open up a large billiard room in one
of the most prominent parts of the city.
Joe Tinker who has always made his
home IN Kansas City, VIII probably re-

as yet about his immediate plans for
the winter months. But he has lately
signed a coming ball player to take his
place whenever he is forced to lay off,
and this makes two sons for Joe in two
years. The youngster Is mighty good

A dispatch from Iowa city says;
Iowa university students do not be-
neve that they have been treated in a
sportsmanlike manner by the Univer-
.ty of Missouri officials, who Will
bring their team here for the opening
game of the season on Saturday of
this week Yesterday afternoon "Izzy''
Anderson, one Of the assistant coaches
at the University Of Missouri, was dis
covered on the Iowa field with pad
and paper copying down the Iowa
signals and plays. Only the tnterven-
ton Of Coach Chalmers prevented
Anderson from being thrown IN the
Iowa river, which runs beside the uni
versity grounds. AS soon as he saw
that he was discovered Anderson
promptly introduced uAluSElL 70 O1lklA-
rners, and the threatened demonstra-
ton ceased. Iowa does not object to
having the coaches Of opposing teams
watch the work of the Iowa squad,
but the students believed that Ander-
son was attempting to secure posses
sion Of the Iowa signals. The present
indicat tons are that Missouri will give
the Hawkeyes a long run for their
money here Saturday afternoon. If, in
deed, they do not defeat them. An
enormous crowd IS expected to turn
out for the game, which will be the
first on the Iowa field this year.

team. Nothing would humble the Corn
huskers' pride more than a defeat at
the hands Of Kansas A great deal OF
animOsity still remains between the
two schools and both are very anxious
to win the game.
Nebraska is very badly in need Of a
quarterback and it IS thought with this
position strengthened a winning team
would be an easy thing. August Ben
der, young brother OF the famous John
Bender, is expected to join the team
this week and his arrival ought to in
still a little spirit into the veins Of the
Cornhuskers.
There is an exceedingly interesting
race on in Colorado for the champion
ship of the state. According to the gen
eral consensus of opinion it will lie be-
tween the Colorado university, Colorado
college and the State School Of Mines.
The University Of Colorado defeated the
Denver university by q score of 6 to 0.
The Mines defeated the 'sAggies" by a
score of IL to 0. It IS thought that the
Mines and Colorado university win be
the only contestants by the end Of the
season and that the championship of
Colorado will be settled by these two
teams in the Thanksgiving game be-
tween the two schools. Coach Castle
man and his gridiron warriors have
won many friends during their Stay In
Topeka who would like to see them hold
state.
Coach Kienholtz who was in charge
Of the Colorado squad last year is
coaching the team Of North Carolina
university this year. North Carolina
has one Of the strongest teams in the
southern Atlantic states.
A good deal Of trouble is brewing
among the members Of the College OF
Emporia team. MARBLE, the big full
back Of the team, does not want to play
with the team this year on account Of
the time required for practice each day.
When the team left Emporia Monday
the depot and the team was compelled
to leave him behind. He is one Of the
best men on the team and his absence
was largely responsible for the big
score made by the Manhattan team He
has threatened to quit the team several
times and on the refusal of the team to
play without him he has changed his
mind. Now 1t is thought that he has
quit for good and several others on the
team threaten to quit on this account.
Colorado has another hard trip after
the one TO Kansas. On November II
they play against Utah at Salt Lake
City. This trip IS over six hundred
miles and is longer than the Kansas
trip.
A dispatch says: The Oklahoma
football team returned yesterday from
their trip to Kansas It was the In
tention Of the management to extend
the trip one week longer, but owing
to the fact that the Kansas City

Colorado and WaS6DuFn nave not en-
gagged in any scrimmage work since
the game last Saturday between the
two teams. It was originally planned
to have a great deal of this kind of
practice between the two teams. Wash
burn did not practice Monday night
owing to the absence of Coach Weede
and last night it was thought best to
abandon scrimmage work on account
of the game with Fort Riley this
afternoon. However, scrimmage work
will commence tomorrow night and the
two teams will then line up against
each other.
It is beginning to look as though the
minor colleges of the state We're to as
sumo a more important place in the
gridiron world this year. Heretofore
the best teams in the state consisted
CT the Kansas university and Washburn
teams. This year several others viii
be pushing these two pretty hard. The
State Normal team held Washb burn to
a score of to 0. Last Saturday Fair
mount beat the Normal by a score of
to 4. On Monday Of this week St.
Mary's defeated the Paramount team
by a score Of to 0. Emporia was de-
feated by Kansas by score of 25 to 0.
Washburn accomplished the same feat
by a score of % to 0 and Monday
Manhattan did the trick by a still
larger score of 35 to 0. According to
the dope from these scores there is
considerable rivalry among Kansas
teams.
The Rock Island railroad will run
two special trains from Manhattan to
Topeka Saturday morning to bring a
crowd Of football enthusiasts from the
Agricultural college and the town of
Manhattan to the football game be-
tween the college and Washburn.
TWenty-f0ur coaches will be used on
the two trains which are scheduled to
leave Manhattan at O'Clock in the
morning and arrive at Topeka at
9:15 O'Clock. It is stated that from
1900 to 800 persons viii come on the
excursion. The railroad has made
rate of a dollar and a half for the
round trip which will also include
general admission and grandstand adj
mission tickets to the game.
A feeling of gloom seems to pervade
the camp Of the Cornhuskers at Lincoln,
Nebraska, since their defeat of last

defeat on their home grounds and such
with Booth at the head of the team the

Johnny Bender and Maurice Benedict
in the backdeld the Cornhuskers had a
comparatively easy time with the other
teams in the middle west But these
two men are gone and but a small
handful Of the old men still remain.

to find and make a great difference In
