Childhood the Critical Time
The time when character should be
revised, the only time when it can be
revised, is in the ductile days of
childhood. The child is clay. The
adult is rock, or nearly so, the degree
of qualification increasing usually
with the passing years. Few beings
are free after about rs or 80. The
trunk tendencies of the mind become
by that time and we set
tie down to the vocation of going
round and round-of repeating hero
ically and with machine-like pre- lis on
the refrains which we have LEANED to
repeat in the formative years Of life.

was the hardest fought contest that

LOOKS GOOD
Defeat of Apprentices Exhibited Team
Work and Timely Plays.

Missouri Valley colleges ambitious for
championship football honors will have
at east onle mighty powerful obstacle in
their path-that is Washburn. The foot
ball squad never looked more promising
in early season form. 1t is difficult to
judge of the relative strength of the
team from the showing made against the
comparatively unframed Santa Fe APP
prentice team Saturday afternoon when
the Wafshburnites ran up a score of 40
to 0, but the Blue exhibited training and
team work.
The score might have been even larger,
but the day was warm and there was
no particular need for extra exertion
The one thing that Coach Driver regret
ted was that it was impossible to arrange
a game with some team that could give
the Washburn men a real test of their
ability-a match that Woud1 put them in
the best possible shape for the game with
Denver university next Saturday. The
Haskell "Old Stars cancelled their en-
gagement-
The victory Saturday was somewhat
costly. Captain TomlinSon sustained an
injury to his left knee which may keep
him out of the Denver game. D. Rogers
nose was broken, but this will probably
not necessitate his remaining out of the
struggle with Denver. Not much dope
of Denver but if the team is up to the
usual standard the local aggregation will
have to fight for every inch of ground
gained
In the game Saturday Smiley played
quarter Trobert and Pearson were work
ed at end, and both showed up well.

IS THIS KANSAS YEAR?
X. U. Supporters Looking for Vfctori-
Gus Eleven.

Lawrence Oct. Us this fall of
1912 destined to be another Kansas
year. in Missouri valley football?
From one who has watched the
hefty Jayhawkers in signal drill and
scrimmage practice the answer is
there's chance, and not an outside
chance, either. From one whose
knowledge consists only of the glow
ing stories spread broadcast from the
Lawrence camp the answer comes
it must be SO.
The K U. students are optimistic,
even jubilant. They have implicit
faith in the cunning and the prowess
of Arthur ST. Leger Mosse, the gradu-
ate coach, who has come into his
own at Kansas. When Bert Ken
nedy was head coach at K. U. and
Mosse his assistant the wise ones used
to say that Kennedy received the
credit while Mosse did the work.
There are many who deny this and
render unto Bert Kennedy the tribute
that is due him, but there is no doubt
that Mosse is a popular idol at K. U.
All Heed Noses Word.
The students believe in Mosse al
most as much as they believe in the
team. The white-haired veteran tells
the rooters that the squad is great
and the outlook is dazzling and the
rooters straightway go into ecstacies,
spread the report abroad that Kansas
is in line for another Missouri valley
championship and write home for a
big ship a goodly portion of which
will be wagered on the chances of the
JayhaWkerS.
And while the close observer who
happens to be an outsider fails to
view the Kansas chance in such a
rosy light, still it must be confessed
that K. u. should put up a hard bat
tie for the valley championship this
season.
Kansas has a large squad of excel
lent football material That is great
for a starter. Then Kansas has a
great combination in it's coaching
staff. There is Head Coach Mosse with

The Giants won their final game In
Washington Park, Brooklyn, marking
the last major league contest to be
staged in that old park. Tesreau. the
sp1tbalf pitcher, whose exceptional
success during the latter half of the
Giants season has placed him at the
forefront for the worlds series, was
worked out and show ID fine forEa

good chances for dark horse.
In the hall of world series fame Bill
Dineen of Boston stands first in the
1908 series with Pittsburg. In 1905 Ma

easily the most prominent figure that
year. In 1906 Joe Tinker of the Chicago
club was the handspring of sensational
double plays, although his club lost
In 1907 Frank Chance sprang into fame
by getting seventeen hits out of twenty

Adams of Pittsburg pitched himself
into the front rank, Eddie Collins was
hero of the Chicago Philadelphia SERIES

his home run batting last year is still
fresh in memory In this review it is
noticeable that hardly a man was pick

By defeating the Washburn fresh

standing the fact that the former ag-
gregg ton outWelghed them at leasI
ten. pounds to the man, the Topeka
High school squad showed evidence
thai contesting teams in the future
will run up against the real thing in
the way of a high school team.
Lack of confidence was probably
play on the part of the high school
boys in the first half of the game.
The college freshmen bunch got away
in fire style, ploughing through the
first and only scoring done by the
freshmen was in the first quarter.
Further scoring was prevented by
good work on the part of the high
schoN line men.
The tables were turned in the sec
ond half and from that time the
freshmen couldn't get started against
their lighter opponents. The open
style of play was little used in the
game. The results of the work of

Philadelphia, Oct. THE American
League championship season wound

home team, to O.. According to a
prearranged plan, Manager Mack sent
in three pitchers against Boston for
three innings each The visitors got
a hit and a pass off Bender three
hits and a run off Brown, owing to
nisjudged fly by Murphy with Hooper
on first, which gave Yerkes q. 3-bagger,
and six hits and two runs off Coon bS.
O'Brien pitched first class ball and
was backed up by sensational fielding
especially by Speaker, Lewis, Wagner
and Gardner. Only % men faced
O'Brien. Four home players got on
the bases, each on a single. Two of
them were victims of double plays,
and only one runner got past first
base. Gardner played his first game
since he had a bone in the little
finger of his right hand injured. He
gave a fine exhibition in the field,
once falling over the bleacher coping
after making a daring catch of foul,
and cracking out a double and a sin
gle. The Bostonians put up an ex-

looked to be in far better condition
to enter the worlds series than they
