Blankets WIN BE Here Before
Squad Leaves Saturday.


No more win the Washburn football
heroes shivef on the sidelineU between
halves or while awaiting their turn to
be called into the game. for twenty
two fine blue wooden blankets are on
their way for the Blues team. The
blankets are expected to be in Topeka
for distribution before the team leaves
Tor Emporia tomorrow morning.
The blankets were made possible by
the liberal subscriptions Of Topeka
merchants who are loyal to WASH

course are the regulation Washburn

are on the blanket in white. A man

might be needed in the game. is to
have q blanket.

that the cost Of the blankets, some
$3.50. was soon made up. Harwood

was delegated to suggest to the
Washburn organisations that they.
too. get into the game. All of the
sororities. all the fraternities. both
Christian associations and all literary
associations were approached and re-
sponded readily.
And now there is another plan on
foot to use up the surplus money.
Two club houses are to be erected
on the Washburn athletic field to ac-
commodate the home and visiting
teams during halves. The money Is
already partly secured for this
scheme and unless some more press

will be erected. No definite time has

AGAINST CLICK.
Forcible Detainer Charge Re-
suited II Conviction.
Legal Points Involved Interest
Tenant Farmers.

A point Of law of particular interest
% farm tenants was involved In case
decided Thursday afternoon in the
where jury heard ,n the e, complains u Of
w. e. Scotch against Tony Click
charging fofcible detainer. Click had
for number OF years been q tenant
farmer ON land belonging to the Scot
been under verbal contract
The history OF the case. which has
probably many counterparts through
out the state, was as follows:
Click originally leased the farm un-
der an oral lease for q year, and went
into possession at the beginning Of the
farm year. March 1. continued in pos
session during the term and at the
END OF the year paid his rent accord
Ing to the agreement Of the parties.
During the time he was in possession
he asked the landlord IL he could have
1t for another yeur, and the landlord
agreed to it. and IL continued this way
Tor several years. and until after the
death OF the landlord. when the heirs
took charge. The heirs became dis
when Click asked to rent the farm fol
the succeeding year. they told him he
could not have it. but that they want
cd possession on March 1, at the end
The court held that the p,aintin
was entitled to a thirty day notice.
he was a tenant from year
to year, in order to terminate his
tenancy; but II only a tenant for q
year he was not entitled to any notice
The tenant In an action to eject him
from the farm. brought after March 1
defended on the ground that he had
not been served with a thirty-day
notice. which was shown to be the fact;
and the question for the court was
whether he was a tenant, under the
lease orally made, for one year, OF
whether he was holdover, or a tenant
from year to year by reason of the YER
pal lease being void under the statute
OF frauds. the lease being for one yeal
but to begin at a future date.
The Kansas statute of frauds pro-
vides that no verbal lease of real estate
can be effective longer than one year.
Judge A. w. Dana held the lease
void and that the tenant was entitled
to the thirty-cay notice. and submitted
70 the jury the question as to whether
the tenant. by his language and con.
duct. had waived his right to ths
notice. The jury found against Glicl
on that point and he was convicted Of
iorciole detainer. No penalty was In.
volved as the case was of civil nature.
