People of shawnee County VIII Vote
on Ono in November.

It does not seem to be generally
known that the voters of Shawnee
county. outside of the city of Topeka
VAL beralled upon at the coming cleo
don to vote yes or no to this PROPOSE
ton:
May the provisions of the high
school act of 1905 apply in this
Chapter s97 of the session laws Of
1905, an act providing for the main
tenance and regulation of high schools,
provides for tax of not less than u
mill nor more than 3 mills of the as
sessed valuation for the maintenance Of
general high school fund, the first
levy to be made when the result of the
general election is determined, and
each year thereafter. Sections Z and 8
Of this act provide that tuition shall
be free in all such schools to pupils
least two courses of instruction shall
be provided. each requiring four years
work, namely: A college preparatory
course which shall fully prepare
those who complete it to enter the
freshman class of the college of liberal
arts and sciences of the University of
Kansas. and a general course. design
ed for those who do not intend to con-
tinue school work beyond the high
school.
This law has not been generally con
ceded to apply to Shawnee county be-
cause it reads, in section l: I'm every
county in the state Of Kansas in which
one or more school districts or cities
of less than 10000 inhabitants shall
have maintained high schools with
courses of instruction admitting those
who complete the same to the fresh
man class of college of liberal arts and
sciences Of the University of KANSAS.

Topeka has a high school, but more
/ than 1900 population. which was
/ generally conceded to leave Shawnee
/ county out. state Superintendent
Dayhoff, however. gave a decision to
the effect that all the townships out
side of the city of Topeka could vote
on the proposition. and If the vote was
! favorable. esta blish a county high
sch DOL outside the jurisdiction of the
city of Topeka. On the strength Of
his decision, the question will be sub
mitted to the Shawnee county voters
outside of the city limits.

Topeka High school Football Team
Plays Draw With Holton.

The Holton high school played a
Etandstill game with the boys from the
Topeka high school Saturday afternoon.
Neither team was able to score but the
advantage all the way through was
with the Jackson county team. IN the
first half they kept the ball near the
Topeka goal line In the second half
Holtou would have scored had 1t not
been for repeated fumbles which would
invariably follow a long run. The sec
ond half was also marred from a spec

ton Of the rules. Holton threatened to
quit the field several times. The time
keepers did not allow time for the
Hrauglfng and the second half ended
with but little playing.

defending the north goal. The ball went
over the goal line and Topeka kicked
out from the Is yard line. HAST carried

END RUNS.
Blue Players Frequently Thrown
Back for Loss.
Shift IN Line Up for the Tues
day Game.

Washburn defeated the Kansas State
Normal football team Saturday after
noon by a score of to in a game
which showed very clearly the weak
spots in the Washburn aggregation.
Unless Washburn can brace up its
line, 1t might as we'll count as already
lost the games which it viii play against
Colorado university and Kansas uni-
Vers1ty. Unless it can stop the heavy
piunglng of big backfield men like Ise
Of Kansas, and the IT'S pound Colorado
fullback, It might as well drop its cham
plOnSnlp aSpirat tons. Unless its line
can hold long enough for the Washburn
backffeld to get started, there is not
much hope for end runs
Hargis, the big normal fullback, was
the man who showed up" the Wash
burn line in Saturdays game He
crashed through the line on offense, and
aided by the fierce work of his tackles
and guards, was able to make a gain al
most every time he took the ball. The
play of the Washburn line seemed to
be listless and inefficient, and 1t allow
ed the opposing linesmen to break
through repeatedly and throw the
Washburn backfield men for losses. In
no game this. season have the Wash
burn halfbacks been treated so rough
" and thrown back for such heavy loss
es, ana this was mostly due to the
weakness Of the Washburn line.
Aside from the miserable work of the
Washburn, line, the Topeka team put
up a frst-class article of football. Mil
| lice did not get away well on his end
runs, and seemed to lack dash and de-
termination. In the second half he was
put back at guard, and Smiley trans
ferred to halfback, while Brethaur went
| to left end in place Of Smiley. Millice
did good work in punting, in spite OF
the fact that he was kicking into the
teeth of strong south wind during
the whole Of the second half There is
no doubt that 1t was the wind that kept
| Wash6urn from scoring one or two Inors
I touchdowns In the second half.
