TAYLOR REFUSED IT.
So Gov. Stubs Appoints r. r. Price
school Man, On Text Book Board.

Gov. Stubs today appointed Ralph
r. Price of Hutchinson. as mem
Der or the state text book commits
sion in place of Carr w. Taylor. also
OF that city, who has refused to &C.
cept the place. AS Mr.. Taylor was
tne only appointee on the board who
positively declined to accept the
place, 1t may now be considered that
the board is complete with the ap-
po1ntment of Mr.. Price. The board
VIII soon have to meet to decide upon
the text books for the coming school
year. Mr.. Price is superintendent of
the schools of Hutchinson and we'll
known in school circles in this section
of the state and, by the way, is the
only active public school man on the
board
There is a story in connection with
Carr Taylor's refusal to accept a place
on the text book commission to the
erect that Taylor wants the place of
attorney for the railroad board and
therefore refused to be satisfied with
the place offered him on the commits
sion as a substitute. Whether the ac-
ceptance of Taylor refusal to serve on
the text book commission can be
taken as a sign that he will get the
place he wants remains to be seen.
Robt. Stone of Shawnee one of the
leaders of the administration forces
in the last house. is also said to be an
applicant for the place of attorney
for the railroad board.
Carr Taylor was attorney for the
first railroad board organized in this
state.

was his ambition to give to the south
west the best seed house in the Unit
ed States. To do this it was neces-
sary to build up both large mail or
der and local business. This idea be-
ing fully conceived, Mr.. Zimmerman
started along these lines, laying spec
iaI stress at first on the mail order
business
Seven years Of hard work, combin-
ed with honest dealings and judicious
handling of the business has brought
results. Each year the business of
Zimmerman Seed Co, has been dou-
bIed The Zimmerman Seed Catalo-

occupies the entire floor space at 623-
625 Quincy street and a large work
ing force is kept busy night and day
during this busy planting season fill
ing mail orders and waiting on the 10

Mr.. Zimmerman has seen fit to ADD
to the seed business line OF poultry

ISOLATION will most likely be an eventful
one. A report from the committee on foot
bail. which was instructed at the last
meeting to get suggestions directed to-
ward making the game safer, is expected.
A skeleton of the reforms touched upon
at the recent Lowell-Hadley conference
will also be presented.
Another question of moment to De
taken up is the appointment of a loot
ball coach. 1t is said that Percy D.
Haughton, the present coach, may find his
time too occupied to take the Crimson
warriors in charge. Dave Campbell. the
1901 captain who has done much to
strengthen the Harvard line, will have
good backing if he seeks the position.
Charley Daily Haughtons right-hand man
the past season, would undoubtedly step
into Haughton's shoes were 1t not for
the fact that he sponsored and carried
along O'Flaherty. the Crimson quarter
back, when cooler heads suggested man
of a more even disposition.

LOSES SOCCER COACH.
Williams Leaves Georgetown and

has been sounded. for the present at least.
by the resignation OF Robert B. Will

accompanying withdrawal of his friend.
Assistant Coach Holmes. from the posi-
ton of mentor to the props. The action
of Mr.. Williams was taken Wednesday
when he found that it was almost impos-
sible to organize a varsity team to meet
the Fort Myer aggregation which de-
feated the props the day before. 1t came
unexpectedly to most of the students. who,
although they knew that interest in the
sport was tagging, yet they were of the
opinion that here was still enough out
for the team to warrant the services OF an
instructor.
Coach Williams was by no means en-
barrassed by the lack of candidates for
the soccer club, although he was some
what disappointed by the poor showing
of the past week since he was given to
understand by many of the students
when he first came to the heights to in
troduce the game that they would con-
tinue practicing until the holidays. Work
ing upon these assurances, he made
preparations for games with local clubs

heaval concurrent on the opening Of the
Christmas holidays have interfered with
the soccer enthusiasts to such an ex-
tent that during the past week it has
not been possible to gather together
eleven men for practice, where three weeks
ago two full teams would report. This
is not true of the props. who even now are
anxious to continue actively in the sport
although it is admitted by Capt. Cohil
that the enthusiasm is not at the same
high pitch as it was at the Inaugural

for place. since he has already accept
ed the invitation of President Alderman
and Dr. Lamberth of the University of

his duties. From all accounts the stu

With the spirit of rivalry at fever heat
because of the fierceness which character

over the Hilltoppers in the opening game

the Georgetown players. who retaliated
later in the season by conquering the
Navy twice. each time by scores almost
AS close as the one which proved their
undoing. So far this season the Navy has
shown much greater speed than last year.
and by comparative scores Georgetown
stands ready to lose. The locals how
ever, have wasted no time since their re-
turn from the disastrous trip to New
York, and if they can overcome their hoo
doc they should be able to turn the tables
in what will be their first big battle near
