OF the ten games played Washburn
took the first eight and lost the last
two. The total score is-Washburn,
$50; Aggies, u.
The rise of the K. S. A. G. in all
athletic lines has been due primarily
to the efforts of Mike Ahearn, an old
Amherst player who came to the col
lege as coach and botanical instruc-
tor six years ago. In 1904 Washburn,
who had counted the Aggies an easy
game, cleaned up Sc to O, the largest
score for the game.
But Ahearn put a stop to that the
following year by gaining greater con-
cessions from the faculty and arous-
ing the enthusiasm of the students
The Aggies scored on Washburn TOR
the first time, the count BENG IL TO
5. The next year showed the Farmers
pounding harder than ever and WASH
burn won by to 4. The champion
ship team of 1907 won from the Ag-
gies only by touchdown, to 0.
Then the big Blue slump came and

two years ago provided that for last

Washburn's Handicap.
Washburn, meeting Kansas as he1
big game, agreed to play under Mis-
souri, Valley rules and built her team
under them. Every man of the Blue
team is eligible under those rules
For so small a school to meet those
requirements is almost suicide in the
first years. That is the main obstacle
Washburn has had to work against
and that which has kept her with
comparatively poor team.
In another season, however, WASH
burn will be able to cope successfully
with the greater institutions of the
Valley under those rules This is pos
sible because now freshman anC

DECISION TO ATTELL.
After Ten Fierce Rounds of Fighting
at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Nov. 24.-Monte At
tell of San Francisco last night was
given a decision over Jimmy Walsh of
Boston, after ten rounds of hard and
bloody fighting here. Attell claims the
bantamweight championship of the
world by virtue of his victory.
The San Francisco youth won
against great odds. Walsh, who re-
fused to weigh in, is said to have
weighed 1872 pounds. Attel1 weighed
116, the bantamWeight limit.
1t was AttelIs clever mitigating that
won the bout for him. By clever foot
work he managed to evade the most of
Walsh's fast rushes and draw the
Boston pugilist into clinches. Then,
with both right and left, Attell would
rock his opponents head with jaw
punches and batter his mouth and
nose. Walsh bled freely after the fifth
round. Atten did little damage with
his body blows. There were no knock
downs.
Walsh started the fight like a win
ner, closing Attell's right eye before
the first round was a minute old. He
frequently rushed Attell to the ropes
and landed rights to the jaw, but they
did not appear to feaze the Pacific
coast fighter. In the last four rounds
of the fight Walsh swung wildly, miss
ing many times.
Soldier Miller of Leavenworth
knocked out young Cunningham OF
Kansas City in the sixth round.

Chain lakes into this ditch is to
take the waters from the creek that
runs into a great slough, conf1ne them
between the bikes and rush them on
into the main channel further down.
This part of the project has not been
surveyed but to all appearances there
is an abundance of fall to take care of
the waters of this creek at a high
rate of speed. These waters will all
be out of the way before the water
from the upper section reaches this
point and will leave the outlet free
for those waters. The slough itself
will be drained by bitches outside of
the dikes that will be sufficient to take
care Of the local rainfall
The land reclaimed in the entire
project will be approximately five
thousand acres of the best farming
land in the county.

OMAHA GETS NEW PLAYERS.
Pa Rourke VIII Infuse New Blood
in Western League.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 24.-Omaha
baseball fans will see almost a new
ball team next year when the season
opens in the new park on Vinton
street.
Pa Rourke is planning to trade or
sell seven or eight of his present play
ers and get a bunch of new men with
whom he can "cop" the pennant in
1911.
The 1910 players did not do as well
as expected until Pa grabbed a few
men from Kansas, and the Rourke
manager now intends to push the new
blood idea still further.
He is now attending the Western
league meeting in Chicago and will
try to make satisfactory exchange of
the players there.
Just who is slated to leave Omaha
is not known. but of course there are
many surnises, all of them more or
less correct. It is understood that Hol-
lenbeck and Thomson are among them.
Who the others are will not be known
until the trade is announced some
time next week.

SUGAR FACTORYs RECORD RUN.
Garden City Plant Has Turned Out
$500 Bags This Year.

Garden City, Kan, Nov. 24.-The
Garden City factory of the United
States Sugar and Land company has
used 10000 tons of beets in the manu-
facture of sugar so far this season
and is working at the rate of $50 tons
a day, according to c. c. Hamlin. The
quality of the beets this year is aver
aging far above that of any previous
season and from the 900 tons used
over $500 bags of sugar have been
made. This is more than from the
same tonnage last year.
The pulp drying plant Installed
since last season, the only one in use
in the West, is proving a success, as
it greatly expedites the sacking of pulp
for shipment. The prospects for next
seasons developments are good and
the company expects to still further
extend its operations and output for
1911.

WEATHER HURTS WHEAT CROP
Early Rains May Save Fields Needing
Moisture Badly.

Salina, Kan, Nov. 24.-Throughout
the northern part of the wheat belt
there is some uneasiness concerning
the growing crop because of the con-
tinued dry weather and unfavorable
reports are heard daily. There is no
class of men who look closer after
the prospects of wheat and corn crops
than travelling men, and a report has
been made up from the observations of
several travelling men who cover that
part of Kansas along the Lincoln
branch of the Union Pacific railroad.
The general condition of the crop at
this time in that territory is not very
encouraging. The crop has been dam
aged to some extent by the lack of

rain, but the grain men and the greater
wheat growers are unable to agree on
the damage done. Some place it at
Is to 20 per cent, While others say
40 to so per cent. The more conserv-
alive men, however, place the damage
at the former figures. The more OPP
timistic grain men claim that the
early wheat, which came up splendid
ly, and has since died down, is not
dead, but is still alive and will come
UP again if rain falls or snow covers
the ground within the next few weeks.
The same men claim that the wheat
which was planted late has not yet
sprouted and all that is needed is
rain in a short time to save the stu
alton.

Personal Liberty Bears Fruit.

Same old story. After giving the
details of the finding of the dead
body of Arthur Francis, renter on
the T. H. Brown farm, near Granite
Falls, the Journal of that town adds
this Illuminating paragraph: 1.-The
unfortunate man was the victim of
drink and was considerably under
the influence of liquor when he left
town, and this is undoubtedly the
cause of the accident, as he was I'M
able to handle his team" The cause
of the death was the running away
of spirited team of horses, the
dead man being found with the edge
of wagon box lying across his neck.
Wonder if his widow and two little
children will in after years be en-
thusiastic supporters of personal
liberty?"

we expect to give this signal regu-

hear the markets on grain and stock
also the weather forecast for the

MasOns Have the Power.

What the buyer of an auto wants
is power, and this feature is what
sells the Maytag Mason on sight.
This was illustrated the other day
when nine full-grown people, weigh
1855 pounds, were carried from the
Redwood bridge past the Second
street fountain, making the turn in
to Mill street at the Redwood house
corner on high speed, from start to
finish. This effectually demonstrate
ed that the Maytag Masons have
power enough to pull their occu-
pants out of the worst places and up
the steepest hills. Most purchasers
of autos buy them for pleasure and
find very little pleasure in getting
stuck on steep grades or in muddy
roads. What they want is power
and such demonstrations as that
above mentioned have helped to sell
four cars within week. Wilcox &
