OLD STARS AGAIN
Will Close the Season With
Washburn Saturday.
Veterans viii Spring Some
Eastern Plays.
MILLICE HELPS WEEDE
Got Valuable Pointers From
Pennsylvania Cornell Game.
Mr.. Hanghey, Veteran Right
Guard. Says He Will Play.

Football exactly as it is played in
he east, is what the football fans of
Topeka can expect when the old Stars
line up against the Washburn team
for the closing obsequies of the season
next Saturday afternoon. There will
be some startling revelations in the
style of play adopted by those who in
their time were stars, but who of late
years have retired to more peaceful
walks of life
Coach Weede is being ably assisted
in the weeks practice by Glenn Mil
lice. Millice was sent east by the old
stars a few weeks ago and was in
Philadelphia Thanksgiving day, when
the University of Pennsylvania team
batt1ed successfully against Cornell
university. 1t was a well played,
hard fought game and abounded in
open play. Millice occupied place in
the press box and with his note
tsb drew out the important formations
of both teams. In the forward pass
line the two. coaches of the veterans
promise the Topeka people something
startling, and something that will
make them hold their breath while
the plays are being put into execution

like it, is the modest way Wash
burns new manager has Of giving out
advance dope on the outcome.
OF course some and most of the
Pennsylvania plays are impossible for
the Washburn team to use, even If
they should know the formations and
spy the veterans at their regular even
ing practice. 1t takes some strong
material to work the plays, and that is
something Washburn hasn't got. 1t
takes weighty line and a fast back
field. and no matter how long Wash
burn tries to learn the plays they
won't do her a bit of good.
But dearth of material won't worry
the old timers a bit. For this team

ever matricuIated at the local college.
And with this imposing array there IS
no reason why the team can't work
eastern plays to a -'frazzle." Coach
Weede predicts an old Star landslide.
The old stars won last Saturday by
a score of to 0. That the score
wasn't larger was due to the fact that
the men had not worked together long
enough, and it was merely a practice
game for them. Next Saturday, with
a dry field and the veterans better
seasoned, there should be nothing to
keep big score from being rolled up
The wet weather last Saturday kept
some of the old players away. But the
indications are good for full at
tendance on the side lines and there
should not be a single absentee when
Coach Weede calls the roll of the
squad. Then there were a few of the
veterans who were really pessimistic
timers have a game to their credit and
the dope reads well for Saturday 8
game, they will be anxious to get into
the Iimelights as heroes.
The team survived Saturdays game
in good shape. There were few sore
spots in the massive anatomy of Mr..
Haughey, the giant right guard, but
these have all ben worked out. He
was seen by a State Journal reporter
this morning and at the intimation
that he might not get into the game
again Saturday, he waxed very wrathy
and pugnac cious. Changing his usual
genial COuntendnCe 10 one OF Jne DULL
dog type, he said: "Your days on this
planet are mum bered if you ever put
statement in the State Journal to the
effect that am not going to play. For
this old veteran is in the game from
start to finish. And you dopesters had
better speak the truth. See thati"
And he closed his short but decisive in
terview by presenting a clenched fist
in full view of the reporter and at
needlessly close range. 1t is almost
superf1uous to say that his fist looked
about the size of a banana cluster.
Last Saturday Ward Page spent him
self for a new pair Of football trous-
ers. which. of course. had to be
initiated in the mud. Mr.. Page assures
the public that these moleskins have
been thoroughly cleansed, and that he
win be prepared to present the same
tidy appearance he did last Saturday
This should insure good crowd of
the fair fans.
A good deal Of dissension is ap-
pearing in the selection of officials for
the game Saturday. Somes of those
who worked last Saturday were tipped
beforehand, or at least these are the
charges preferred by the. Washburn
players. But these little trifies can
probably be arranged to the mutual
satisfa ction of all parties.
The game will be played all right,
and it will be a hair raiser from be-
ginning to end. No one who wants to
be considered football fan can afford
to miss it.

SIMPLY POSTPONED THE FIGHT
Demands of Minor Ball Leagues for
IIigher Classification Laid Over.

New York. Dec 10.-zThe meeting
of the national commission of the
baseball leagues Wednesday was one
of hard work for the men active in
the management of the national game.
With one exception however the days
developments were of little i'm
portance. This was the postponement
of decision of what is undoubtedly
the weightiest matter before the base
ball legislators for settlement.
At the adjourned session of the ma
tional commission the demands of the
Eastern league and the American
association for higher classification
and greater privileges were laid over
for consideration at its annual meet
ing at Cincinnati on January 1. This
was decided on in order to allow the
minor leagues ample time to present
their arguments. The American
league magnateS at their session for
