Considerable Interest in Michigan.
Penn. and Chicago Cornell Games.

New York, Nov 11.-Until six games
of football are played, four on Saturday
and two week from then. the col
lege game will be the chief topic of
conversation in the east. The east and
west championship will be decided on
Saturday when the University of Mich
igan gives battle to the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, and Chi
cago university faces Cornell at Ithaca.
Arrangements have been made for spec
ial trains from this city to both places
and both Pennsylvania and Cornell are
preparing for the hardest battles of
their season.
Chief interest here lies in the game
to be played Saturday between Yale
and Princeton at New Haven. The
Princeton team, in the pink of condi-
ton, is already at New Haven, and
training hard for the match. The 35-
coo seats for this game have been al
ready engaged. and a record crowd is
expected. OF almost equal interest is
the game on Saturday at Cambridge,
when Dartmouth plays Harvard.
TIE season closes a week from Satur-
cay with the annual Yale-Haryard game
at Cambridge and never before has
there been such intense interest SO far
ahead. All the $4,000 seats in the Har-
ward stadium have been taken for this
contest and It IS predicted that thu
largest crowd on record will witness
the game.

STATE ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION
One Organized at Fort Scott With v
r. Parl.hurst President.

A State Engineers association was
organized at Fort Scott as a side issue
to the State Good Roads association
convention which met there yester-
day. When the engineers found there
were so many of their clan in at
tendance they Immediately set about
forming the new organization.
Shawnee County Engineer V. r.
Parkhurst, was elected president and
w. S. Gearhart of Manhattan was
elected secretary and treasurer, the
same position he holds in the State
Good Roads association A committee
on constitution and bylaws consisting
of Lewis S. Hereford, Atchison; L. w.
Lindsey Kansas City, Kan. and c. H.
Messer, Wichita was appointed and is
expected to report at the Good Roads
convention in Topeka the 14th and
18th of this month.
Nearly a score of engineers have
already expressed their desire to be-
long to the organization. Though the
organization is for the main purpose
to push good roads in the counties the
word county will not be used in the
title as most of the counties have not
yet created the office of county en-
gineer.
