PARAMOUNT SWAMPED
Southwestern Piles Up Big Score by
Sensational Work.

Winfield, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE gam
est exhibition of nerve ever displayed
on the local gridiron was seen here,
when Southwestern defeated Fair
mount by a score of Al to 8. The game
was featured by long end runs and
long gains made by forward passes.
The first score was made by Lear for
Southwestern after three minutes of
playing. The only score made by
Paramount came in the first quarter
when Chance kicked a beautiful goal.
Leakley made the second touchdown
for the Moundbuilders In the second
Quarter. In the third quarter the
Moundbuilders increased their score to
"a when three touchdowns were made
after sensational end runs and long
forward passes. In the fourth quarter
RanseIs went over for a touchdown
after catching a forward pass from
Schmidt.
Paramount fought gameIy to the
end. Patton and Koby were taken out
on account of injuries. Koby was the
Paramount star on both offenSe and
defense The kicking of Chance was
the feature of Paramount plays.
For Southwestern. Moore was the
star with Lear and Leekley consistent

the gruelling Oklahoma and Kansas
Aggie games How it happened can be
explained in a few words. The why
part is furnishing the subject of more
heated discussion among the students
than occurred at any time during the
presidential campaign.
What will the Jayhawkers do in the
approaching games with Nebraska ana
Missouri and where will they find a
punter, who will be dependable for at
least 35 or 40 yards, are questions
which are of foremost Importance in
Lawr snce at present. Will the return
of the old stars to McCook field this
week and a week of grilling by the
coaches develop a team of fighting
Jayhawkers, who will travel to Lin
coin as in the past and pull victory
out of almost certain defeat. viii

ARE INDIANS BEST DRECS OF DESPAIR
Experts Ready to Proclaim
Carlisle Greatest Eleven.
Coaches Say ThOrpe's Equal
Has Not Been Seen.

West Point, N Y, Nov. 12.-After the
great work of the Indian eleven here
last Saturday, there are many army
football experts who are ready to ac-
claim them the best all-around team of
the year. Others doubt whether they
would be able to stand up against either
Princeton, Harvard or Yale. Certainly,
no team has shown more spirited at
tack, but the Redmens line is weak and
combination of backs like Harvard
might be able to drive through it for a
comfortable score.
Unfortunately, the Indians will not
play any of the leaders of the eastern
gridiron this year, their only remaining
games being with Pennsylvania and
Brown. Thorpe Arcasa and Guyon, of
the Carlisle team, are regarded here IS
stars of all-American magnitude and
the West Point coaches are a unit in
the opinion that Thorpe has probably
never had a superior in the history of
the sport.

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and CheapIy Made at
Home. Saves You 81.

This recipe makes pint of cough
syrup-enough to last family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-
nate cough in "a hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
get it for YOU. If not, send to The
PiDex Co.. TT. Wayne, Ind. ADV.

Optimistic KansanS See Little
Cheer in Football Future.
Even Lawrence Admits h. g.
Has Been Lucky Here.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 12.-Even to
the most optimistic of KanSanS the
football situation so far this year
seems to indicate that this is an open
season. for the Jayhawkers. With
Quarterback Smiley directing the OPP
erations, Washburn college took a shot
at the Mosse-F'rank aggregation in To-
peka Saturday and by a 10 to score
battered down the university eleven for
the first victory against Kansas in
five years. Following only week af-
ter Bonnie Owens Sooners came up
from Oklahoma and defeated the Kan
sans 6 to 5, and three weeks after
the Drake Bulldogs rubbed in tc
0 defeat the Washburn affair threat
ems to take the confidence out of the
most patriotic of the Jayhawker fol-
lowers
To be beaten by Drake and Okla
homa, teams acknowledged to be of
same calfber as Kansas, and by close
scores, was disappointing but the only
way to explain the Washburn disaster
was that it was humiliating.
But has the Topeka school beer
such an inferior school to combat on
the football field in the last few years?
There are some who remember one De-
laney, a big well built youth, whose
kicking gained fame for himself and
Kansas throughout the middle west
last season. 1t was practically the
same Washburn team which, outplayed
Kansas in Topeka last year, but with
Delaney booting out so yards spiraIs,
the Jayhawkers kept the ball well out
of their territory.
Delaney Saved Kansas Last Year.
True, Kansas piled up a IA to 6
score. But how were the Kansas
scores made? The touchdown was OH
a tumble of one of the long punts of
the season and a Kansas end fell on
the ball behind the goal. Still the Jay
hawkers would have lost had it not
been for the dependable toe of the
kicker. He booted three
drop kicks out of about four trials,
and Sherwin's men returned to Law
renee, the pride of the village, uni
ct al.
Saturday Kansas appeared absolutely
without a kicker. At least if there was
one in the squad he was most success
fully covered" from the keen eyes of
Jumbo Stiehm, whose elongated form
was seen moving silently along the
Side-lineS. Burnham, the big Jay
hawker lineman, did his best at boot
ing the oval, but he makes no claim
to be a punter. His playing at tackle
was of a high order, but when he was
called back to enter into a punting
duel with Trobert, the Washburn back, !
whose kicks were high and good for As
yards or better, the sight was pitiful
to the one side and a lovefeast to the
Topeka lads. Punts of 10 and 20 yards, |
not occasionally, but several in a row,
we're disheartening in the extreme, and
he result was evidenced in the lack
IF fight in the team.

Lincoln Prepares for Kansas.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 12.-The Ne
braka football squad began the hard
est practice of the season in prepara-
ton for the Kansas game here next
Saturday. The Cornhuskers came out
of the Doane game without injury, and
Coach Stiehm expects to be able to
present his strongest lineup to the
Kansans. The Nebraska forwards, re-
garded as weak all the year, are round
ing to, and with Howard at left end,
Allan at center, Swanson and Hartman
at tackle and Pearsons at his old place
at guard, the team is forging ahead in
a manner that is pleasing to the coach
es and trainers. Purdy at halfback,
is still on the hospital list, not being
able to play since the Missouri battle.
but he is mending, and, with no set
back, should be in condition for next
Saturday.
