ANSWERS YALE S. o. S.
Tom ShevIin, Former Captain, to Help
Strengthen Team.

StEGA1StnGtl
New Haven, Conn, Nov tom Shev-
lin, Yales former football captain and
coach, is today his way east to take
charge Of the coaching situation here
Shevlin's advent last year checked the
Yale Route after the Brown defeat, mar
shalled the disorganized Eli forces and
swung them together in an attack that
moved down Princeton and outplayed
Harvard In Shevlin's gripsack are some
new plays that will figure in the Yale
repertoire during the final games of the
s4Biiiy'' Heffelfinger. Yales greatest
guard, also has sent word that he will be
here soon He and Shevlin live in Min
neapolis, the home of Harry Williams,
coach of Minneapolis university and the
tackles shift formations.
Close Gates for Season.
Coincident with the arrival of Shevlin,
the Yale eleven will go behind closed
gates for the season and the field viii
not be open to the public except on two
or three afternoons.
The Yale coaches who watched the
Princeton-Harvard game last Saturday
maintain that the Princeton-Yal game
will be the real championship contest of
the year. and that defeat is much more
likely then than in the Yale-Harvard
battle.
rapidly but at least three of the first
string men are admittedly out of the
game for the season.
At the Yale ticket office, the official
statement is made that the total Yale ap-
pications for the Yale-Harvard game at
Cambridge are 5000 which is several
thousand above any previous record

BAKER MAY PLAY WESLEYAN.
Missouri Kansas Championship MAY
Be Stake

Baldwin, Kan, Nov. Tt is quite
probable that within the next few days
a Thanksgiving football game will be
scheduled to be played at Gordon &,
Koppel park in Kansas City between
Baker university and the Missouri
Wesleyan university. Baker university
has one of the strongest teams in Kan
sas this year and is making a great
bid for the state championship while
the Missouri Wesleyan has one of the
strongest teams in Missouri. The game
would be played for the Interstate
championship of the Kansas and Mis-
souri, colleges.
The alumni of the two schools in
Kansas City have been very much in
terested in a prospective game between
the two schools and have been at
tempting to bring it about. Baker has
four more games on it's schedule.
This week Baker plays the fast team
of Paramount college at Wichita Then
follow the William Jewell bunch and
on November 81 Ottawa closes the
schedule at Baldwin. A game with
the Missouri Wesleyans would find the
Baker team in the very best condition
on Thanksgiving day. Baker has had
only five points scored against the
team this year and these were scored
at Denver with the Denver university
team Baker played K u to a tie
score.
A game with the Wesleyan univer-
sity at Kansas City would be a good
drawing card for the two schools and
would add a good sum to the athletic
treasury. Both of the schools are con-
sidering the proposition and it is
thought that within a few days the
game will be scheduled.

HANSEN MUST PAY COSTS.
Poverty Affidavit in 100000 Case Re
jected by Court.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. John F.
Hanson, McPherson's eccentric attor-
ney, must pay $25 cash between now
and November 20, or his suit for dam
ages against eleven prominent citizens
of Mcpherson for 500, 900 will be dis
missed from court.
Mr.. Hanson personally appeared be-
fore Judge c. E. Branine of the dis
trict court in chambers in Hutchin-
son and argued against a number OF
motions which had been filed. But he
lost on each point.
The court sustained motion re-
curing the deposit to be made. His
suit had first been filed under a pow
erty affidavit.
The present suit for 100000 dam
ages is against eleven Mcpherson peo-
pie, among them Otto E. Hawkinson,
Judge J. B. Grattan and Attorney
Lindsay, charging them with trying to
ruin his law practice and other things.

Over This Week.

Against Princeton.

TIGERS ARE UNBEATEN

New York. Nov. with the foot
ball season drawing close to its final
days, the eastern championship situa-
ton is more in doubt today than it
has been in several seasons. Upset has
followed upset, making the task of
picking a likely champion mere guess
work.
Previous to the game against West
Point, Yale looked to be about the best
of the Big Three. That game slunped
the Yale stock and sent Harvard loom
ing up big with its victory over Brown.
Now Harvard has gone down to de-
feat before what was considered the
almost hopeless Princeton eleven.
Watch Out Saturday.
Next Saturdays games will be full
, of interest in view of the unsettled
championship situation with Yale
against Brown; Princeton taking the
field against Dartmouth and the Car
Isle Indians worrying Harvard.
As a matter of fact, the football
championship may yet go to Yale Har-
ward or Princeton. There are two OBJ
stacles in Princeton's way, Dartmouth
and Yale. Harvard to win back the
title, must defeat Carlisle, Dartmouth
and Yale-Yale meanwhile beating
Princeton; or it is possible for Yale
to climb into the lead by beating

Moreover, she has had only 6 points
scored against her as compared with
Harvard's 8 and YaIes g. But she
has played weak teams throughout the
early season, and her work last Satl1r-
day indicates that the Tigers must de-
velop great deal before they can
hope to cope with the finished Yale
machine The Tigers must develop
attack; they had none worthy of the
name on Saturday. DeWitt's punting

Kansas Must Ginger Up.

Kansas will have to show a great
deal more ginger than it did here in
order to meet the fast rushes of the
Sooners and get going lot sooner to
make any ground themselves. Never
theless. it is not safe to depend on
OkIahoma's scores when it comes to
the game with Kansas at Lawrence
For one thing, Oklahoma never has
beaten Kansas and the precedent is
hard to overcome in the minds of the
PLAYERS. Another thing is the fact
that the game will be played on the
K. U. field, where the Kansas squad
seem all eyes for the loose ball and
slips of the opponent. If there is any
such thing as football luck and not all
keen eyesight, then the K .. men GER
tainly have. it.
While the result of the Oklahoma
Kansas game will have a direct signif-
canoe of the chance of the outcome of
the Missouri and Kansas game, it will
be an invaluable lesson for Kansas in
preparation for the Nebraska game a
week from Sunday The Cornhuskers
come like demons this season and de-
vote a great deal of attention to knock
ing great holes in the line along with
fast end runs. The Oklahoma game
is about the same sort of a hurried
attempt to slaughter. and If Kansas
can hold the Sooners, she will be in
better form to handle Nebraska.

State Normal Comes Saturday
to Play Washburn.
Kansas Must Show Life to De-

The Washburn football team proba-

Coach Driver last night at practice
gave Warren Crumbine his old posi-
ton at quarter back again, shifted Nc
Intyre to tackle and put BISHOP at end
instead of tackle, and pulled Lowe back
from end to left half.
The work of Smiley at quarter against
Kansas evidently doomed Crum bine s
stock. The coach had seemingly rele-
gated Crumbine to the rear. He failed
to get into the Kansas game at half,
where he has been working because
of injuries received at Oklahoma. Sni
ley failed Saturday both in generating
the team and in his individual efforts.
No doubt a charley horse received
early in the game was partly, at least.
responsible but Smiley had fallen down
in his form.
Gains Made on Bishop.
The Kansas line gains came through
Bishop as the Washburn gains went
through the Kansas right wing. Nc
Intyre was no colossus at end and the
shifting of the two probably will be Of
some benefit. Lowe has not seemed to
develope into such an end as his speed
would indicate and the coach may play
him back at half where he was start
ed.

Every little while there comes along
some person of authority to jolt a lit
tie of the pride out of the human race.
Just when everybody is feeling I'M
usually jubilant over the advance of
civilization. the spread of education
or the growth of new disease due
to modern conditions, the wise man
bobs up and tells us we're behind the
times, that, in the words of the old

days of old Ramesses."
Now the wise man has stood up in
his place to tell us that we're MT SO
fast a people after ALL that the dis
ease of the heart of which we've been
so fond, fancying it came from our

It is a Chicago heart specialist who
thus knocks into cooked hat our pet
theories regarding degeneration of the
