sion of their preference in relation to
the second place on the national ticket.
There appears in the replies a strong
Francis sentiment One Of the dele
gates, however, is outspoken for Mitch
ell of Illinois. Others believe it too
early to discuss the matter,
Sam B. Cook, former secretary Of
state of Missouri and a power in
democratic politics, says
Il am in favor Of nominating Gov
ernor Francis for vice president, not
because he is a Missourian, but be-
cause he is big enough and broad
enough to give strength to the ticket
throughout the nation.
Bryan and Francis would be an
ideal combination for Missourians, but
Missouri will be democratic this year
without the prestige Of a home man
on the ticket. He is stronger in New
York than any New Yorker who could
be named for second place.
Il shall vote for Governor Francis
at Denver, and have no doubt he will
receive the solid support Of the Mis-

PAPKE SHOULD WIN.
Ketchel VIII Never Regain His Lost
Title Says j. j. Jeffries.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 2S.-James
J. Jeffries, who refereed the Papke-
Ketchel fight at Vernon, when Papke
won by a knockout, said that Papke
should repeat his performance when
the two men meet again next month
in San Francisco.
BILLY Papke should successfully de-
fend his title as middle weight cham
pion of the world when he meets
Stanley Ketchel next month";" said
Jeffries. IT have been besieged on all
sides for an opinion as to the out
come of this return bout. but this is
the first time 1 have gone on record.
was the third man in the ring when
they fought at Vernon and had every
opportunity to see and judge of all
that took place inside the ropes of
that historic occasion. Papke showed
me that he was a better man than
Ketchel. Many ring followers look on
the first knockdown in that fight as
being in the nature of a lucky punch.
1 can't see it that way. Papke hoored
Ketchel the first time in the opening
round with a terrible left drive to the
chin. 1t was delivered while Ketchel
was on his guard and in complete
possession of all his fighting forces.
What took place after this first
decisive punch is matter of pugilistic
history. Ketchel for the next eleven
rounds stood up under one of the
most cruel beatings ever administered
to a fighter in the ring. This very
beating itself stands like a stone wall
between ketchel and his chances of
retaking his lost title from Papke, as
he will never be able to forget the
whipping he endured on that day. nor
will he ever be able to shake off it's
effects

POLICY SETTLED CHEAP.
Insurance of $1,000 Is Compromised
for the Sum of $3.50.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 2S.-When the
an automobile accident he carried ac-
cident insurance to the amount of

the Masonic company, but recently
merged into the Northwestern. When
one takes out an accident policy the
risk is rated under a certain class. ac-
cording to the line of work the appli-
cant is engaged in. When the policy
was written, Mr.. Robinson was a dis
patcher at the Missouri Pacific offices,
a risk that came under class a." and
he was allowed the full amount,
$4,000. After being relieved from this
position and Mr.. Robinson became a
demonstrator of an automobile the

was made more hazardous, with the
maximum death claim of only $500.

with Mrs. Robinson, and that was the
first intimation she had that the COM

told him to settle the claim for $500.
Being an old friend of the late Mr.
Robinson and knowing the extenuating
circumstances that Mr.. Robinson was
soon to be reinstated as dispatcher,
the representative said he would pay
$3.50 more than was authorized by the
company This was agreed upon and
the claim was settled for $3.50.

FOR THE BLUE RIBBON.
Chicago and Minnesota to Fight Sat
urdaY for Western Honors.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Chicago and
Minnesota will clash on Saturday in
a game which will go a long way to-
ward deciding the western champion
ship. Both elevens did not play last
Saturday, preferring to have the day
for practice and not take chances of
injuring the players in games.
The contest will be played at Mar
shall field, and already record
breaking crowd is promised. The
Gopher football fans will come down
In hundreds to root for their favorites,
in the hope of taking the western
championship back to Minneapolis.
The railroads have made a special
rate of IS for the round trip, which
should swell the Gopher attendance.
The game will be a battle between
teams playing the old and the new
game. Chicago easily is the best ex-
ponent of the new rules while Min
nesota clings to the old tactics. The
Gophers have q powerful line, which
should make their old plays strong,
especially those through the line and
off tackle. Chicago will depend upon
speed, agility, and ability to manipu-
late the forward pass.
In kicking, one of the most impor-
tant departments of the present game,
the Maroons will have great advan-
tage, as Steffens should outkick by
several yards the best attempts of
hardly likely that Chicago will be
able to gain consistently, and punting
will be their strongest game.
Weather conditions must be taken
into consideration, for Minnesota, with
its heavy team, would have a great
advantage on a wet field. as their old
style plays would gain much better
and the Chicago backs would not be
able to make their forward passes
with any degree of accuracy.

Mary's plays Beakey, a professional
foot racer, who has been in that insti-
tuition for only a month. The enroll
ment at Manhattan and K. u. is suffi-
cfently large, that the freshmen rule
does not materially decrease the
squad, while this is not the case in
Washburn.
The result is that Washburn will in
all probability before the close of the
present football season secede from the
Topeka conference And then she will
join the Missouri valley conference.
And there is no reason why she
shouldn't. Last season, the Washburn
team was tied for championship hon.
of Nebraska And the local school for
the past five years has played right
along with the top notchers in the Mis-
souri, Valley.
In the Missouri Valley conference the
rules are uniform. Every school must
refrain from using Freshmen. and no
school is allowed to play with another
school which will refuse to conform to
Missouri Valley rules. This would pre-
vent the dinkier schools such as st.
Mary's and Paramount using freshmen
and professionals when they meet
ley conference, the standards of schol-
arship are practically on the same level.
Out at Washburn every night this
week, the entire squad is being given
pIdClACC, S6lLlnS III TSdQlHcSS
for the Drake game, which Is scheduled
for next Saturday and is the hardest on
the Washburn schedule. The entire
lineup with the exceptions of Captain
Robb and possibly Hope will play. Robh
still has bad side as a result of the
rough Haskell game. while Hopes
shoulder is not mending very fast.
Hopes place at quarter will be taken
by McVey, while Whitney will play
fullback.
That the Drake game will be a hotly
contested battle is evident from the
record of the Drake team this season.
Not once have the Hawkeyes been
scored upon while they have managed
to roll up some pretty big scores on
opposing teams. The defense of the
brakes is said to be the best in the
west which is shown by the untarnish-
ed goal line. Their offense isn't SO
strong but 1t will be a hard game, with
the odds slightly in favor of the visit
ing team.
Seats have been placed on sale al
Fullerton's and are going fast, which
bespeaks a large attendance for this

MISSOURI VALLEY CHAMPIONS.
situation May BE Clarified by the
Games of Saturday.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2S.-Premier
honors in the battle for the football
championship of the Missouri valley
conference are involved in two grid
iron contests booked for the coming
Saturday. Nebraska meets Iowa at
Iowa City, and the Ames Aggies will
clash with the Missouri Tigers at
Columbia Nebraska has not yet been
pitted against a Missouri valley foe
and neither has Ames. Missouri and
Kansas, however, have made bids for
the valley championship, the Tigers
by scoring an unexpected victory over
Iowa and the Jayhawkers by defeat
ing Washington university of st.
Louis Next Saturdays conflicts,
therefore, should tend to clarity the
situation and furnish the dope by
which the prophets may pick the win
ner.
The weeks practice at Nebraska
begins with a strong element of I'M
certainty as to the outcome of the
Cornhuskers' argument with the
Hawkeyes. Past performances might
argue in favor of Nebraska, for the
Cornhuskers have already held Min
nesota to a to score, while Iowa
has been drubbed by Missouri. In
the Nebraska camp, however, there is
strong disposition to give the
Hawkeyes a much higher rating than
one based on the outcome of the
Iowa missouri game. Coach Cole
figures that Iowa is better team
than Missouri and that the Tigers
would be defeated if the Hawkeyes
were given another chance. For this
reason he anticipates a terrible bat
tie when his pupils invade Iowa City
next Saturday and has warned his
charges that overconfidence on Ne
braska's part may bring disaster just
as it did to the Hawkeyes when they
journeyed to Columbia.
The Cornhuskers were held to a
