Odds Favor the Red and Blue
of X. u.

Since 1900 when Washburn first as
sumed a prominent place in Kansas
football, with Bennie Owen as coach,
the Washburn team has taken four
games from Kansas while the Kansans
have won but three. In 1901 and 1906
the two teams tied; neither side scor-
in Should Kansas win today the re-
suit will be tie, but should the To-
calls capture the contest, Washburn
will be two games to the good.
With the weather conditions of the
best possible variety, the strong Kan
sas football team and the sturdy
Washburn college team are battling on
McCook field at Lawrence this after
noon for the football championship of
Kansas. Both teams are in the pink
of condition, the best condition either
has enjoyed thus far this season.
And the game is peculiarly very
desirable game for either side to win.
For Washburn it means the champion
much more. Should the Kansans lose,
their pride would suffer an almost un-
bearable humiliation. In the words OF
Coach Kennedy of the Jayhawker
team, 1t is a credit to lose close game
to some of the bigger Missouri valley
schools but to lose to Washburn, can
be nothing but deep humiliation.
The odds of course favor the Kansas
team Kennedy's pupils outnumber the
local squad. Kansas has had long
rest. and their efforts to gain the vic
tory will be applied by a large student
body in addition to the big brass band
But before the contest the same old
conditions of over confidence appeared
in the Kansas camp, while the Wash
| burn team, realizing that a hard con-
test was inevitable, started the game
with a determination to win.
, Several of the numerous fraternities
! of the Lawrence school raised purses
| of a hundred dollars to be bet to on
kansas. All morning betting was live
ly at the Eldridge house. This after
noon before the game started odds OF

Washburn money had been crowded

One Jailed After Securing
Money on Forged Paper.

Coffeyville, Nov. 1.-TWO colored
men tried to ''fiim-fiafn" H. L. Barnes
on a land deal and succeeded in get
ting some money, securing a small
mortgage on the land which is located
near Vfnita, Okla. The amount OF the
MORTGAGE was $175 and was to be the
first payment on the purchase price
of the land in case the deal was MADE.
The game was worked by Josh
Martin who gave his name as William
Henry BoWlin, in whose name the
land is recorded. and Joe HUBBARD
who gave his name as John Willlams.
The two men wanted to sell Mr..
barnes some land and produced an
abstract and a certified copy OF the
allotment on the land which belonged
to Bowlin, who died about year ago:
Mr. Barnes would not buy the land
until he had seen IT and as the men
wanted some money he told them that
he would give them loan of $115 on
the land and take a contract so after
he had seen the land he might BUY II
and the mortgage money act as a part
payment. This offer was not mace
however. until ]. X Clay, who Is con-
nected with Mr.. Barnes. stated that
he was somewhat acquainted with the
men and that he was quite sure they
were dealing sduarely, although that
part of 1t had not been questioned TO
abstract complete in every detail.
The money was paid the men In
four checks Three of them were for
$50 each and one for SIS. One of the
$50 checks was cashed by Belt Bros.
Clothing company and another by L.
Titman OF the Palace Clothing COM
pany. The one of $25 was cashed by
the Coffeyville Chattel Loan company,
while the third $50 check had pay
nent stopped on 1t before the men
had secured the money. When Mr..
Iitman was presented the check he
asked Mr.. Barnes If the check was
not a forged one or rather IL the
check was written by Mr.. Barnes and
was told that It was and that the EEL
lows were all right
shortly afterwards Mr.. Barnes be-
came suspicious and commenced an
Investigation. finding that the men DID
not own the land in question. He
learned that the men were going I'M
der other names besides the ones they
gave in the deal and Joe HUBBARD
alias williams, who signed the mort
gage contract as a witness was arrest
ed and placed in Jail. He had SOS. %
with him and 1t was turned over tc
Mr. Barnes this morning. The other
man the one in whose name the lano
was supposed to be recorded, had lef'
the city. It Is thought that he has
gone to vinita and the officers there
and at surrounding towns nave peer
notified to arrest him.
The papers were drawn up by
Zeigler & Dana and everything abou
the document was so accurate tina
they were not in the least suspicious
Mr.. Barnes had phoned to Whit;

that the property was recorded II

Chicago, Nov. Railroads. great
and small, which have experienced
some perilous times for two or more
years, believe they are about due to be
lifted out of the crucibie and set with
their faces toward prosperity. Inter-
views today with the presidents OF
more than a dozen local systems
brought out the general opinion that
with the election excitement over, the
country was settling down and getting
a good. firm grip upon business. They
agreed that millions of dollars must be
spent soon for new equipment, for ex-
tensions and in putting the roads in the
best physical conditions. This means
the employment in shops, on tracks and
in the manning of additional trains. OF
thousands of men. All agreed that this
would come gradually but could not be
delayed, for the roads have permitted
their properties to run down to the
lowest possible notch. D. McKenna'
vice president of the st. Paul system,
summarized the opinions OF all his col
leagues, when he said:
1.-THE railroads think prosperity Is
about due and when it is fairly in sight
thew are ready to spend the money IT
will bring them in an effort to eaten
IN with the demands of transportation
inS normal times. AS the revenues OF
the roads improve there VIII be no
complaint regarding the amount OF
money being spent. AS soon as rail-
roads see the way open for it, there Will
follow one of the greatest periods or ac-
tivity in railroad history"

at the game. In Thursdays chapelmeet-
ing. an enthusiastic meeting was held.
As result of the meeting, the student
body invaded Lawrence en- masse this
afternoon, and the yelling of the Wash
burn students could be heard all over
Lawrence. But the old Rock Chalk
yell of the Kansans could not be
drowned, and the Kansans had the
added advantage of having band. The
Washburn band is dormant at the
present time.
A change was made in the WASH
burn lineup at the last hour when Eos
ter was substituted at right tackle and
Templeton shifted to the left guard,
relegating Codding to the side lines.
otherwise the lineup of the two teams
at the start of the game was the same
as was printed in the State Journal
Friday, and copied by the morning pa
per this morning.

Election of Hughes and Deneen
Handicaps Horsemen.
New YOrk's Governor Will Now
Drive Owners to Cover.
TRACKS IN EAST CLOSE
In Illinois Both Racing and
Boxing Must Cease.
Will Likely Have to Send the
Runners to Canada.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-"We're dead for
four years and nobody knows how
much longer"
Such was the moan today of a local
horseman who has been actively ac-
quainted with the racing game, east
and west, and also with boxing.
1.-THE victory of Gov. Deneen in
Illinois and Gov. Hughes, the unre-
lenting opponent of gambling at the
race tracks in New York, over his
rival Chanler, was a blow from which
horsemen will not recover soon.
Among followers of racing it was
thought Hughes was unpopular
throughout the state and that thou
sands of voters would back the horse
men in opposition to him. The
smaller fry say the big fellows like
Keene, Belmont and others must have
known what was coming when they
shipped their strings abroad. The
victory of Hughes means the closing
of the tracks which ran for years. just
as the repeal of the Horton law
meant the Gripping of the boxing
game in New York.
Here in Illinois the same situation
obtains. The victory of Deneen not
only means there will be no racing
in illinois, but it also means the box
ing game will be kept under cover
just as it is in New York.
1.-THE effect of the election of GOV
Hughes in New York will be felt in
the middle-west next summer. 1t also
may work against the California
game. where Adolph Spreckles has
been busy rousing opposition to the
runners. Opposition has been strong
in Kentucky and Tennessee and will
be stronger next spring and summer
In New orleans they are having the
fight of their lives to save the sport

much as it is in England. So mex

Steady Improvement Expected TO

Chicago. Nov. IA large majority
of the prominent western railroad
officials believe that the election OF

Summation of business as will enable
the railroads to get the money with
which to make renewals, bettermentS

equipment and power. AS yet now
ever, none of the chicago roads mas
made a move in the direction OF the
resumption of improvements which
were abandoned nearly one year ago.

Chicago Lad Too Fast for Jim Flynn
in Their Ten Round Bout.

Los Angeles, Nov. Jim Barry Of
Chicago had the better of it in 10
round bout with Jim Flynn of Pueblo
before the Pacific Athletic club here
last night. Barry showed fine form and
landed terrible blows to Flynn's body
and jaw throughout but was unable
to stop the fireman. Flynn was struck
low in the second and claimed a foul
but continued fighting strongly. Barry
was aggressive and shifty and showed
terrific punch with either hand. The
men fought so furiously that both fell
in the second. Flynn rallied strongly
in the final rounds, showing even with
Barry at the finish but he assimilated
by far the most punishment Barry
weighed 1876 pounds and Flynn IT'S, the
latter appearing soft.
