The Kansas line is a strong one.
Both ends, Rice and Pleasant, are sea-
soned players. Rice has played ball
so long that his name is byword
with Topeka's football followers. He
is a Topeka boy and played on the
heavy high school team of seven or
eight years ago. Then he has played

Not only in Topeka but in Lawrence
as we'll, is this question being asked,
for on the work of the Blue line de-
pends the state championship. Should
the Washburn line hold, the fast back
field Will be able to get into action and
Will spring an offense that is bound to
cause tremor in the ranks of the
Kansans. But should the line fail to
hold, the Kansans with the line
piunges of Crowell and Caldwell, can
plough their way through to victory.
On the present dope, the prospects
of the Washburn team look better than
at any time this season. A whole week
has been spent by Coach Weede in
drilling linemen to hold. The old
guards such as Williams and Millice
who only year ago were without
peers IN the Missouri valley, have been
pressed into service and their work
will avail something. Both Wednes-
days and Thursdays practice was
spent largely in defensive work.
Last Saturdays game against Drake
was of much value to the Blue. 1t
showed up her weakness as no other
game has all season. And the loss OF
that game can be charged entirely to
the line. The center of the line wilt
ed before the Drake 'offense, while the
ends were put out OF commission by
the fast Drake ends.
Coach Weede hopes to have all these
defects ironed out for tomorrows con-
test. The Hnemen have been taught to
charge and to play low. All week they
have been taught to believe that they
are just as strong as their opponents.
Everything the coach has told them
has been of the variety that tends to
inspire confidence. Now II is hoped
that there will be no stage fright and
that the Blue line will play up to the
form that has been shown in practice
all season.
Every advantage for tomorrow S
game is with the Kansans. In the first
place the Jayhawker lads are more
seasoned bunch. seven of the players
who will start the game against
Washburn tomorrow being we'll sea-
soned players. They will have the ad-
vantage of having seen the Washburn
team play a hard game, when many
of their strong plays had to be I'M
covered. Washburn saw Kansas
game played in the mud but these
conditions were not favorable to get
ting a line on the Kansas style OF
play. The K. u. aggregation Will
have the advantage of home grounds,
of weight, and Of having the home
crowd with them. OF course there will
be a big bunch of Washburn rooters
on hand, but they are bound to be out
numbered.

center, officiates. He is a strong de-
fensive player. This arrangement,
which Coach Kennedy has been using
in the line all season is a strong one
and gives Kansas one of the strongest
lines in this section.
The backfield, however, isn't general
ly considered as fast as the Washburn
backs. johnson is a new man at quar-
ter. He is given the preference this
season over Steele, on account of his
weight. Steele is fast but is entirely
too light. Stephenson, who plays full
back, has had couple of years ex-
perience and has been a valuable man
for halfback in past seasons. This is
his first year at full, but he is consid-
cred the strongest man in the back
field.

ago and made good. Fiske, who will
probably play the other half, is a new

ability.
The Kansas squad is larger than the
Washburn aggregation and this will be

half and gains a lot of ground, viii

His former wife was told that she was

station.
Mr.. Harris obtained permission
from Superintendent Horsford of the
home to visit his children. bringing
the two youngest ones pairs of shoes.
He was visiting with the children
when his former wife appeared on
the scene, coming in a buggy.
When she witnessed her former

CHICAGO NATIONALS FINED.
Commission Finds Murphy Guilty OF
Farming and Assesses Him $3.50.

farmfng and Assesses Him $3.50.
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-The Chicago Ma
tional leauge ball club has been found
guilty of farming ball player and
fined $3.50 by the national baseball com
mission The decision was given out
by Chairman August Hermann. The
commission got the goods on President
Murphy of the Cubs through some cor
respondence between the owner of the
worlds champs and Player Vincent
Campbell, who was "farmed."
Campbell was turned over to the De-
catur Three T. league club by Muir
ply last summer, but his name was
found on the reserve list of the Cubs
this fall though no record of sale by
Decatur to Chicago could be found
When Campbell found that he belonged
to the Chicago club he demanded sal
airy for the last month of the season.
inasmuch as the National league con-
tracts run month later than those of
the Three r. league.
President Murphy wrote Campbell
that he had no money coming, as his
services for the season ended at the
close of the Three T. league season.
The player Immediately wrote to the
commission and demanded that he be
declared a free agent, inasmuch as his
name was not on the reserve list of the
Decatur club and that the Chicago club
had refused to pay his salary.
Shortly after that Campbell was sent
a check for 5000, his last months pay
from the Chicago club. That would
seem to make him the property of the
Cubs, but the supposed reason for tn ,
check was quickly discovered when
President Murphy announced that
Campbell had been sold to the Atlanta
Southern league club for $500.
After considering the case the COM
mission declared it possessed every
phase of farming and has granted
Player CampbelPs request to be de-
clared a free agent upon his return to
the Chicago club of the $500 received
from President Murphy. That. OF
course. invalidates CampbelPs sale to
the Atlanta club.

are Billy Papke, Battling Nelson. Abe

in addition to that he uses his brains,
and he has everything which is needed
IN the making of champion. He Is
it will take a real strong boy to take
the title away from him.

warm spot in my heart for this boy
Nelson never sidestepped any one no

Then take Attell. The Hebrew
boxer is a wonder. There is no other
way that I could express my opinion
about Attell. He is as clever as they

officials. Now that they are billed to
come together in the Quaker city it Is
almost a certainty they will meet.
Mcfarland is eager that this battle
should take place, as he thinks if he
wins he will have some chance to per-
suade Battling Nelson to sign up with
him. The stock yards mans manager
met the Dane in New York and the
two nearly came to blows. Gilmore
asked the lightweight champion when
he intended to meet Mcfarland and he
answered not until February. The
Danes tone angered the manager, who
is said to have shown a desire to re-
sort to fisticuffs. Friends of Gilmore
prevented fight which they believed
might have resulted disastrousiy for
him.

NOnc0mmissiOned Officers Want
Civilians Ousted.
Say They Are Entitled to the
Quarters of the Privates.
UP TO DEPARTMENT.
Reported That Clerks Will Be
Told to Move On.
Quite a Feeling Over Matter at
LeaTenWOrth Home.

Leavenworth, Nov. 6.-At Fort
Leavenworth there promises to be
some lively times shortly because
non-commissioned officers who feel
that they are entitled to quarters for
themselves and their families from
the government because of the class
of work they are doing are not given
such and civilian employees of the gov
eminent are. Recently some new
quarters called ''non-commissioned
officers quarters were built near the
staff college for the "non-coms' on
duty there and there are also quar-
ters on Arsenal hill.
But instead of "non-coms" getting
them it is said civilians, one of whom
owns considerable propety in Leaven-
worth, are living in them, saving rent,
while report further has 1t that one
of the non-coms who should have
quarters in the row Is renting a house
in the city owned by civilian who Is
himself a tenant of the government.
Recently two enlisted men went to
Washington and caused some dis
comfort for the civilians living there
by taking the matter up with the war
department officials, and report now
has 1t that three civilians are to be
forced to move and give their quarters
to enlisted men. These civilians are
reported to be: Kramer, a tinsmith;
and Jordan, a quartermaster mes
senger. An enlisted man named Cor
bett is said to be one Of the lucky
ones who will draw quarters.
There are several other civilians
who occupy quarters which the nom
commissioned officers claim rightly
belong to them. These are Parker,
stenographer in the staff college; E. N.
Fessler, book clerk at the college;
Junior Parish, an electrician; s. G.
Williams, stenographer; Jesse
Gregg, messenger; Foley,
plumber; Pulley. quartermaster car

FOR THANKSGIVING GAME.
Association Park. Kansas City, Can
Seat 10000 Spectators.

Kansas City, Nov. 6.-The gridiron
at Association park is lai dout just as
it will be for the annual missouri
kansas football game Thanksgiving
day. The gridiron runs east and west.
and the very best view Of the game will
be obtained from the north bleachers,
the sun seats back of third base. The
seating capacity at the park this year
owner Tebeau says that he can accom-
modate 10000.
Even bets on the Missouri-Kansas
game are being made here. The opin-
ion seems to be that Missouri VIII enter
the yearly mixup with stronger ma,
teriaI but that better coaching will
enable the Kansas eleven to keep
things about even.
