SOCCER FOOTBALL.
Topeka VIII Have a Team Next Fall
Headed by Powell.

Topeka will have a soccer football
team next fall. Last season an at
tempt was made to organize a team
but a full quota of men were not avail
able. This summer enough men, how
ever, have signif1ed their intention to
turn out for practice to assure team,
and as some of them are former stars
of the game. the team should be a
good one.
Tom Powell will head the squad.
The majority of the men who will put
on their toys are former British SUD-
jects.
Wamego has a good team and has
already written in to the local man
agement to arrange for a series OF
matches. Then there are other teams
that would be glad to schedule games.
There are teams at Lawrence, Wichita,
Empcria and Baldwin and other Kan
sas towns The soccer season proper
begins when the football season closes
and continues until Christmas time.
