NO GAMES TODAY
GridirOns in Kansas Deserted
Until Turkey Day.
IL. U.-Tiger Game of Greatest
Interest to State.

There is dearth Of football in
Kansas today, conference games GO
ing over to Thanksgiving to close the
season. Kansas alone plays today and
that is not in this state, but in Mis-
souri,. Thursday there will be five
state games, four of them played with
in the state The Aggies will play
Washburn here. Ottawa meets Fair
mount at Wichita, Normal and c. of
z. clash at Emporia, Doane plays al
St Marys and the Haskell Indians go
TO Joplin to meet the ROlla Miners.
Those teams which scheduled games
this week played them Friday in order
to get todays additional rest before
the final game. The defeat of the Ok
Iahoma Farmers by the Kansas Aggles
has a little meaning all its own to the
Washburn game Turkey day. Howen-
stein drop-kicked three field goals. His
team could not score a touchdown, get
ting only a safety. His kicking alone
gave the Kansas team good score of
IL instead of ,.
It also will be remembered that
Howenstein defeated the Razorbacks a
week ago by booting the ball over the
cross bar That, with his perform
ance of Friday, is enough to cause
gloom at the local camp. There is a
We'll founded belief that Washburn
and the Aggies are near a par on at
tack and on defense and that the game
ordinarily viii be close 1t is doubt
Iul II 1OInllnSOn can pldCS-k4Ch with
as much success as Howenstein- The
drop seems to be much quicker and
leaves one man more for protection
than does the place-kick and Tomlin- |
son has not shown the class in his line |
as Howenstein.
The defeat of Southwestern by Fair |
mount, II to 0, is no surprise, as the /
seasons record gave indication of such |
q score.

BIG TURKEY CROP
Thanksgiving Birds Are Plenti-
full This Year.
Prices Are Down About Twenty
Five Per Cent.

One of the biggest turkey crops in
the history of the state, with prices
from 20 to rs per cent lower than a
year ago, is the glad Thanksgiving
news which Topeka commission men
have issued to their customers. At
the present prices, dealers state, tur-
key Will be within the reach of every
family of moderate means in the city
| For weeks local dealers have visited
with the farmers, studied conditions
and have just issued a report that
shows the Thanksgiving turkey is
something more than a holiday bird;
and for this year a least, will relieve
the heavier demands for other classes
of meats. Already thousands of tur-
keys are on the local market; orders
are being taken for next weeks deliv-
cry and dealers, both wholesale and
retail, smile assuringly as they tell
/ their patrons that there will be no
turkey shortage this year.
Even the fact that there will be an
ineXhauStible supply of turkeys is not
sufficient to cheer the average wage
Garner. In years passed, the man of
moderate means has timidly passed
the windows of the commission
houses, looked at the price marks on
think of more cheerful tidings. Tur-
keys are for the rich alone, he sighed.
Then he took home IS cents worth of
steak. It's different this year.
A year ago, the consumer paid %
cents to 80 cents a pound for dressed
turkey at the local meat markets and
stores. Year after year the price of
turkeys at the festive slaughter time
had gradually mounted skyward. No
amount of high cost of living talk. or
agitation for national legislation,
seemed to infringe on the rights of the
turkey. He continued to swell the
farmers bank account and command
a price on the open market that was
som ething startling.
Then something unexpected hap
pened. While the farmer was COM
planning of the drouth last summer,
his turkeys WaXed fat and prospered.
dry season is always an assurance
of a turkey crop and this year it was
too dry for anything but the growing
young turkey. This, the commission
men declare, explains the big turkey
crop.
Farmers who have formerly re-
ceived 20 and 81 cents pound for live
turkeys on foot, Will this year be con-
tent with a lucent wholesale market
and there are too many turkeys to
stand out against the dealers. This
year the housewife will buy a live
turkey for about 20 cents a pound or
her corner grocer or meat dealer will
sell one dressed and ready for the oven
at about 3 cents pound. These fig
ures mean a net reduction of almost
20 per cent in the price of turkeys as
compared with the markets of former
years.
1.-The fact that the prices of meats
are generally higher" said Frank M.
Cope today, land the further fact that
there will be a tremendous reduction
in the price of turkeys, indicates that
almost everyone can afford to eat
Thanksgiving turkey
To be sure. the farmer will not re- !
ceive as much for his turkeys this sea- |
son as in former years, but the heavy |
production Will offset the short price |
and create a willing market for the |
seasons offering.

the early part of the contest they re-
covered their short high punts for
good gains, but Fairmount soon began
taking fair catches on all short punts
and held the ball thereafter.

Howenstein Kicks Three Field Goals
and Wins Game.

Manhattan. Kan. Nov. 25.-In a
game that was fight from beginning
to end, the Kansas Aggies worsted
their neighbors on the south. the Ok
lahoma Aggies, by a score of IL to 0.
The Kansans were expecting 6 rather
easy game but had it not been for
Howenstein's educated toe the result
might have been still closer. The
Aggies drop kicker netted nine of
the points on pretty field goals and
these together with two points on a
safety gave Kansas their scores.
In the first quarter the Aggies re-
ceived the ball from the kickoff and
being unable to gain, punted. Okla
homa missed the catch and an Aggie
got it on their 2O-yard line. Howen-
stein kicked a field goal. A few minutes
later an Oklahoman missed another
catch and Kansas recovering the ball
right on the goal line was pushed over
for a safety In the second quarter
neither side scored, and the game was
characterized by continuous punting.
In the third quarter the Kansas team
seemed to take new life and by line
plunges and the recovery of kick
once had the ball on Oklahoma's a
yard line, but were held Howenstein
drop-kicked a neat goal from the 30
yard line early in the quarter. Okla
homa came back hard and fought with
all their might in the fourth quarter
and time and time again would check
the Aggies advance at critical times
Howenstein booted another goal
which ended the scoring. Kansas, II;
