PROBABLE L1NAup.
Georgetown.

Georgetown's varsity football squad,
consisting Of twenty-one men. in charge
of Coach Nielsen. left here this morning
at , o'clock on the way to West Point,
where the Army eleven will De met to-
morrow.
This afternoon the team will practice
at Fordham Field, and will spend the
night in New York, leaving for the
academy on the banks of the Hudson
early tomorrow. While in New York
the Cumberland. on Broadway. will be
Georgetown's headquarters. The whole
team will be back on Monday for prac-
tice ON the Hilltop.
The complete list of men who were
taken along follows: Captain DALEY,
Hegarty, Bergen, Wymard, Hart Bry-
ant. Cunniff. Costello. Sitterding, Fury,
White. Magner, Moriarty. Stohlman.
Car1gan. Jamison, Petriz, Croker, Quin-
Ian, Barricello. and Reinschild.
The Georgetown team is today in bet
ter shape than at any other time this
season. Only the lightest sort Of prac.
tice was attempted yeserday and to-
days drill at Fordham will simply be
enough to keep the men on edge.
The return of Dave White to fullback
has greatly strengthened the backfield
by giving 1t additional weight, which
should prove valuable against the heavy
Army line, while the only other change

on end. This player has been attract

They're growing at Pennsylvania that
there is little interest In the football
schedule of this season. Demands are
heard for games to he arranged with
Dartmouth, Amherst, Virginia, and Sc
vance. Why not Georgetown as well

Rlue and Gray might be good thing
for both elevens. Certainly, facing n
strong team like the Qrakcrs wocld 10
the Hilitoppers far more good than rum

better financial results would oe seen,

Strong elevens are not built up by meet

Thirty-Five Aviators Gather in Chi
cago for International Meet.

Chicago, Aug. ia dark, dismal
morning with frequent thunder show
ers threatened to mar the opening OF
the International aviation meet here
this afternoon. In spite Of assurances
| by the United States observers that
nine days of fair weather and clear
skies were due, the present outlook is
that but few flights can be made be-
fore tomorrow. Nevertheless, the thir-
ty-five ayiators, the best known in this
country and Europe, were up at day
light making their final preparations,
overseeing the last possible touches to
their machines and assuring them
selves that no mechanical defect would
prevent their having a Tair trial for
the $50, 900 in prizes to be given

contests in accuracy in flying over pre-
Scribed courses, in quick stopping and

AviatorS declare there is every like
lihood that many records will be brok-

both monopIanes and bipIanes, will be
pitted against one another. The avi-

will have the incentive OF seeing their
rivals in the air and the prizes them
selves have a sufficient value to war

The first event scheduled today is
the speed test for monoplanes The
machines are due to rise in the air at

there will be altitude tests for all of

be passenger carrying exhibitions of

A minimum of So a minute will be

NO CONDITIONED STUDENTS.
Chicago University Announces Changes
in Entrance Requirements.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE University
of Chicago has announced a radical
change in its entrance requirements.
Dean James Rowland Angel, pro-
fessor of psychology and dean of the
college of arts, literature and science,
explains the new plan in the current
issue of the University of Chicago
magazine, just published.
1'The university proposes that here
after only one subject. English. shall
be specifically required of secondary
schools. That subject must be pursued
for three years. he says. 1.-TWO other
topics must be studied, one for three
years and the other for not less than
two years.
These topics must be selected from
five groups as follows:
ancient and classical languages;
modern languages; history, economics
and civics, mathematics and natural
sciences.
Hereafter the university will accept
no student with a condition attached. -

he wheeled in his chair towards the re-

grounds, where 1 am going to finish
stalking off the concession ground.
Here is some good dope that I have
prepared. There is SO much to write
about that I cannot begin to tell it all
in a days issue anyway, and will
keep you posted on all new features
as they develop as near as my time will
permit. Tell the people that the Kan
sas state Fair at Topeka (don't fail to
mention Topeka after Kansas State
Fair every time), is getting so big that
when we get ready to open the gates
that there will be so much to show
that the people driving along the road
outside the fence cannot help but get
fifty cents worth without buying
ticket. If they buy a ticket they will
get such a big half dollars worth that
they will not have to be urged to boost
the fair in the future"

FIREMEN GOT EVEN.
Broke Up Meetings of Socialists Who
Roasted Them.

Troy, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Loca1 Social
lists and fremen of this city are at
open war owing to remarks made re-
Gently at a Socialist mass meeting
relative to the paid firemen, which
the latter say, were insulting. A few
days later another meeting was held
in the public square not far from one
of the fire houses. and the f1remen re-
taliated by making such a din that
they broke up the gathering.
The Socialists complained to the
mayor and last night, when another
meeting was scheduled in the same
place, the police reserves were on
hand to maintain order. The fremen
were not frightened by this display of
force, however. When the speaker of
the evening was introduced, a nerve
racking din commenced on the roof Of
the house. Tin pans, rattles, fire cor
nets, automobile horns and other de-
vices were brought into commission.
After several Intellectual efforts to
make himself heard, the speaker an
nounced that the meeting would con-
tinue further down the street. The
hremen followed and continued the
racket until the meeting finally broke
up.
The matter will be taken formally
before the city officials tonight.

FOUND A BODY.
WOrkmen Digging Trench for
Water Main
At First Street and Western
Avenue.
WAS AN AGED INDIAN
Had Been Buried for Nearly a
Century.
DR.. Keith Was Called to Pass on
Discovery.

While digging a trench for water
mains at First street and Western av-
enue, workmen this morning unearth-
ed the body of an Indian. The body,
which was about four feet below the
surface of the street, had probably re-
posed for rs years under what is now
busy section of Topeka.
Recently the city began the work OF
laying new water mains along lower
Western avenue Work had progressed
to the corner of First street. shortly
after work IN the trenches had start
ed today a woTkman'S pick struck some
thing hard. The man removed the loose
dirt and his face went pale and his
knees shook as he looked at human
skull lying at his very feet.
My God men, I've found a man,
exclaimed the excited laborer as he
clam bered out Of the ditch and ran
to fiEd the foreman.
Then the men gathered around the
object and began a further investiga-
tion. One man ran to the telephone
and summoned DR.. H. H Keith, coun-
ty coroner. When DR.. Keith arrived
many people in the neighbour Cd had
been attracted to the scene by the
strarge discovery. Keith said the
skull was that of an aged Indian-pos-
sibly so or 80 years old-and that the
body must have been in the ground
soEle rs years.
The body was in an excellent state
of preservation. The Indians rather
shaggy and worr teeth were still in
tact. About the shoulders, which are
now a bunch of white, shining bones.
was still draped a portion of native
woven blanket in which the body was
buried.
Possibly the Indian was a big chief
or leader among his men who 100
years ago roamed leisurely along the
banks of the Kaw. Evidently the
burial had not been without much Ger
emony. Indications showed that the
burial pornp was of more than usual
magnitude. Beside the Indians head
was deposited a large fowered china
bowl The bowl was as large as the
base of an ordinary waste basket and
in the bowl had probably been buried
provisions for the long hunting trip.
These. of course, had long since de-
cayed. About the mans neck was
gorgeous string of silver beads that
had corroded from contact with the
damp earth.
The Indians head was toward the
east and OILY the head and shoulders
were uncovered by the men working IN
the trenches. In respect to the burial
rites of almost a century ago, the men
detoured the course of the trench and
the pile of bones were left In the
ground, where they were placed years
before Topeka plated a street over the
little mound. The skull, which was ta-
ker from the trench, is now in the
possession of Miss Maude May Cline,
q musical instructor, of 103 Western
avenue. She will present the skull to
the state historical society

EXTENDING THE WIRELESS.
Government VIII Erect Stations on
the AIeutian Islands.

Washington, Aug. 12-As a STRAIT
egic measure the navy department is
preparing to extend the wireless sys-
tenn of Alaska. A powerful station
will be erected on one of the AIeutian
Islands next year. It will be superior
to any in Alaska at present and will
have radius of 1900 miles at night
and 500 miles during the day. In
time of war this, with the army and
navy stations aIread yin Alaska would
keep the territory in close touch with
the Pacific fleet and the western
coast of the United States.
The cruiser Buffalo is in Alaskan
waters erecting wireless stations on
Kadiak, Unalaska and St. Paul is
lands.
While plans are maturing for the
extension of the wireless in Alaska
work has actually begun on the DOW
erfuI station at Fort Myer, Va. Just
outside of the national capital This
will be completed by May 1, aZH will
enable the navy department to COM
municate with any naval vessel in the
Atlantic as far as the coast line Of
the United States extends.

WHAT IS A MINT JULEP?
DR.. Wiley Confesses That He Does Not
Know.

Washington Aug. Representative
Ollie James of Kentucky and DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley, government pure food
expert, who, with Henry Watterson OF
Louisville were named as a commit
tee to settle an alleged $1,000 bet as to
the merits of a mint julep, had inter
views today touching that famous
beverage.
The utterance of Mr.. James, popu-
larly supposed because of his place of
residence to be ex-c9thedra, set forth
that mint juleD should be mixed il
silver cup a lump of sugar in the
bottom, with a leaf or two of mint
Next comes cracked ice filling the cup
to the brim. The ice must be stirred
as it is put in, thus crushing the mint
a bit and putting a fine frost on the
outside of the cup, an ornamental fea-
ture highly regarded. The stirring
must be done with a silver spoon if
the true Kentucky ideal is to be gained.
Then the whisky is poured IN and the
wonder is complete.
1t happens that in DR.. Wiley a tee
totaller was secured as a judge. DR.
Wiley said if he were called on to
produce a mint julep he would pro
cure some mint, look up some Wash
tington BARTENDER and ask him to make
