NO MORE FOOTBALL.
Game in Present Form Doomed at X.
u, Says Strong.

Lawrence, Kan, March 26.-"I am
satisfied that football in its present
form will not be retained in the Uni
versity of Kansas was the opinion
day. THE opposition to the game on
the part of the regents is too strong to
be overcome by the imagined reforms
which the national rules committee an
nually makes And, too, the opposition
sentiment seems to be just as much
alive in the other schools of the Mis-
souri, valley as it is here, so it will be
a matter of great surprise to me if the
American game is ever again played
by the Missouri valley conference
teams.
Personally. 1 am opposed to the
sport as we have been playing 1.-THE
training is too strenuous and too small
a percentage of the men of the univer-
must have football of some kind to
replace the old game. l am willing
that Rugby should be tried, although
l know very little about that style of
play, but 1 would much prefer a suit
able revision of our own football If
the rules committee does not make the
necessary ch@nges-and 1 have no idea
that they will-then why not draw up
a Missouri valley code? 1 suppose this
would be next to impossible, but it
might be tried, anyway.
LAS to revision, I adopt the stand
that Coach Kennedy has taken. He
says that this business of trying to
graft the open Rugby plays to our
game, which s essentially closed one
is foolishness and can't be done; but
this is exactly what the national COM
mittee has been trying to do for years,
and for this reason they have had no
success and never will have. 1 believe,
with Kennedy, that return to the old
style game would be a good thing, and
I would rather have that done than to
adopt Rugby"

Many New Residences Going Up
in Topeka.
100000 IN PERMITS.
Over Fifty Homes Costing s., 600
Will Be Erected.
Prospects Excellent for Record
Breaking Season.

Building contractors are working at &
fast and furious pace, and the realty
men have their hands full showins
prospective customers the property or
their lists. The special feature of the
weeks business in building and real
estate circles was the unusual amount
of inquiry for building sites and the
number of permits which were granted
for the erection Of residences.
In respect to the latter, permission
was granted for the building of IA
homes at an average cost of about
s., 500, the most elaborate of these be-
at 1900 Tyler street. Then the Guilford
Dudley building at S27 Kansas avenue
swelled the total by $4,000
Most significant is the fact that it ap-
pears that there will be no let up 10
pace which has now been set in the
building of modern houses. There are
scores of dwellings in contemplation
and good building sites in the older
residence sections of the city are be-
coming more difficult to find.
I'VE consider the real estate market
in a very healthy condition. said c. B.
Wingett of the Wingett Land company.
THE people who are waiting and de-
claring prices must lower because there
was too much building for our popula-
ton here are just recovering from their
stupor, and are realizing that as
matter of fact prices have been low,
and for all we'll located property they
must necessarily grow higher
Speaking of building permits the to-
tai for the month has reached consid-
erably over the $780, 900 mark, $64, 900
having been granted in permits for the
building of 80 residences, at an average
cost of more than 81 900, the showing
being far in excess of that of a year
ago for the same period.

BE GIVEN FAIR CHANGE
Alabama representative Proposes
Amendment to Interstate Con1=
merce Administration Rule

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sat the in
stance of representatives of several
smaller railroads of the west, and on
the request of several representatives
of the house, Mr.. Richardson of Ala
bama, a member of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, has
presented to that committee an amend
ment to the bill of Representative
Townsend the administration mea-
sure, providing that railroads be re
uuired to handle freight shipments over
any connecting line.
Under the amendment the initial
carrier would be obliged to carry
shipment to it's tdestination withou
unloading, whether the initial road had
any exchange arrangement with con-
Meeting lines or not.
The amendment would operate in
favor of many smaller roads that have
no traffic arrangements with trunk
lines. and that frequently Mr.. Rich
ardson says, are deprived of revenue
by the larger roads to prevent their
upbuilding.
