Mondays snowfall brought threshing
operations to a standstill after a good

got the best end of a bad deal.

absence from the city at the present
time of quite a number who are voters
to a large extent accounts for the falling
off, and the full returns next Tuesday is
likely to see this discrepancy accounted
for to quite q large extent. The First
ward shows 1872 voters, over one-half Of
the whole vote of the city. The Second
ward had 80 votes when the registration
boards closed their books Tuesday night
and the Third ward 80. The estimation
is made by both parties that IN the
First and Second a larger vote will be
cast on Tuesday than is shown on the
registration and the third is figured as
having practically registered its full vote

KICKING IS CONE
Not Necessary to Punt in New
Game, Naismith Says.
Cross Between Wrestling and
Basketball, He Declares.

Lawrence, Kan. Feb. IA cross
DR.. Jas. Naismith's characterization of
the new game of football which will be
played next fall. DR.. Naisrnith, is the
head of the physical training depart
ment of the University of Kansas and
is a thorough student of the funda-
mentals of all sports. He is the lin
ventor" of basketball.
The value of the kicking game is
taken away explained Mr.. Naismith.
The distinguishing feature o. the
game, in fact, the very thing that gave
it its name, has been relocated to a
position of secondary Importance, and
spectacular features of the game are
likewise detracted from. More en-
phasis will be placed on the throwing
ability of the player as well as in his
ability to push or pull an opponent
after the manner Of Wrestlers.
The provision of the extra down
has practically abolished the necessity
10 punt. Thus a greater en- phasis is
placed on the ability of a team to han
die the ball without fumb bling as a
team that is any good at all is suro of
a touchdown when they get the ball in
their possession.
Then too, attempts at compromise
between the claims Of the heavy and
light players, resulted In concessions
to each side. The increase of the num-
Der of points to be scored by a touch
down will be an advantage to the team
with the weight. as we'll as the added
advantage to advance the ball by the
extra down.
'On the contrary, allowing an ex-
tension of the limits in which for
cession to the lighter team, the one
naturally making the most use Of the
forward pass.
''As g whole I cannot say that the
game has been benefited from a spec
tator's point of view; indeed I may say
that It has been marred; for there will
be less of the spectacular kicking and
running back of punts, and-to the
onlooker-this is one of the most dis
unguiShfng and satisfying departnn entS
game has been improved from the
standpoint of the tactician and field
general. More Importance will attach
to the 'headwork' of the Quarterb back
the coach. With four down to count
on, plays can be worked out with more
certainty and precision, and also, more
intricate plays can be developed.
ITO sum up-the game will require
heavier men, that is to say. a light
man has less chance than formerly.
The game will be less open, but there
will be no more and possibly less per-
sonal injuries than formerly.
Finally" concluded Doctor Mai
smith, land what I consider the most
important change that will be noticed,
is the sacrifice of individual effort to
the precOncerted and organized play
on the part of the team as unit.
Eleven men with practically no team
work will make a pitiab1e showing no
matter how we'll they may play indiv-
idually. The organized play on the
part of the team as a unit will be
made necessary by the elimination of
running back punts, recovering onside
kicks and by the increased amount of
teamwork made necessary by the
four down provision in the new
rules

MagiI Not to Blame for Fuss at

pie Of real short stops just to prove
to the fans that there is more than
one OF them in the world. If Sorrenson
comes up to his advance notices and Lee
does what is expected of him by his

It's near 20 do it right now but this
matter of Barney McGrdth's hOldOut is
a joke. McGrath is = big fellow who
can pitch fine ball when he IS controll-

with the Irish lad in the past and he
was suspended by the local manage
ment last year for failing tc keep in
condition This spring he seemed aExi-
Gus to return to the fold and an
nounced that he would report in good
condition. 1t was also reported at that
time that Barney had found manager
who could manage him This was well
come news. But now McGrath isn't
satisfied with his contract. The salary
3e says he will not play for that money
and the management insists that he will
If he plays at all. And there you are.
Really Barney should come on in. If
he shows the management that he can
and will keep cont: ! and observe what
ever training rules Gear viii spring he
will likely be well treated. And you can't
censure the management much after
the record of last year. Beside all tn s
they have the cinch on Barney and a
second suspension would go against the
big twirler's record. The Topeka club
is not going to be easy as it was last
year in the matter of salaries. McGrat n
may get more money than his contract
now calls for. But it will be only after
he has demonstrated that he can and
will earn it. Come on in Barney. Gear
is selling pitchers now.
Another thing to be considered by
the holdt uts of this wear is the salary
limit which goes into real effect next
year. Men who holdOut this year are
likely to have some trouble then in
getting the money they want. The sign
