FAVOR OPEN GAME
X. u. and Aggies to Adopt New
Style Play.
Gridiron Practice Has Begun in
Most Kansas Schools.

On the threshold of a new football
season much speculation has been
aroused among followers of the sport
in Kansas as to the style of play to
be adopted by the various elevens.
However, with the mobilization OF
practically every squad in the state, It
seems apparent that many of the
coaches will adopt an open style pro-
gram together with the further devel-
opment of the most flexible and most
used play in modern football-the
forward pass.
The pass, however, it is indicated

The initial call brought out more

three letter men, Reber, Householder
and Captain James 1t is expected
that the number in the squad will be
doubled early next week and that
Heath, Strothers and Keeling Will be
among the veterans to respond
John Bender, the new coach at the
Kansas State Agricultural college, also
is working to instill d thorough know
ledge of the open game into his play
ers' minds. While Bender has an
nounced that he is looking particularly
for weight it is believed also that he
is not averse to players who use their
every ounce of strength from whistle
to whistle, whether they are heavy
weights or not
Bender has had about fifty men out
daily since the beginning of school,
Skinner, Hartwig, Wright, Bert
Barnes and Slattery being among the
veterans. While there are few can
didates for quarterback, O'Sullivan,
formerly of the st. Mary's eleven,
seems a likely candidate.
Similar stories have been heard
from numbers of ether squads
throughout the state.
Much interest has been manifested
in the appointment of Roy o. Court
right to be assistant athletic director
of the Kansas State Manual Training
Normal school. Corrtrighr is widely
known in this section, having starred
as an athlete at the Unive rsity of Ok
lahoma. He is expected to aid in the
of a fast eleven at Pitts
burg.
Thomas D. Sheppard of Wellesley
Mo, has been chosen athletic director
at Baker university. He formerly was
captain of the University of Maine
eleven and has been coaching New
England colleges for several years.
Washburn, always a contender for
state cha mpionship, is light but fast
this year.

BALLOT, NO MONEY
Woman. Taking Umbrage at Anti-Suf-
frage Speech, Calls Turn on Bishop.

st. Louis. Sept. 1S.-The Right Rev.
Daniel S. futile, presiding bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal church,
spoke against woman suffrage in
recent interview at San Antonio, Tex
He heard from his speech today
when he received a letter from a
woman member of the church re-
fusing to contribute to an emergency
missionary fund.
An appeal for a contribution had
been sent to the woman whose name
Bishop futile refused to give. The
woman replied to the appeal as fol-
lows:
Il enclose clipping to explain why
1 do not send money. If women
monopolize activities, as you are
quoted as saying, please do not ask
for money, too"
The clipping contained a part of
Bishop Tuttle's speech in Dallas in
which he said:
1T is not fair to women to give
them the ballot. Already women are
doing more than half of the world s
work. They monopolize the activities
in the home, in the church, the schools
and in many phases of business life.
Giving them the ballot is only adding
to their burdens

New York, Sept. 1S.-An attempt
by Dario Resta, winner of the Van
derbilt cup and the grand priX. to set
a new worlds automobile record for
ten miles and for one lap of a banked
track was the chief event on the pro-
gram for the opening of the new

The record for ten miles on a bank
ed track is five minutes and forty-five
seconds. Resta circled the track at
Chicago at the rate Of 11O.1 miles an
hour for single lap and intended to
beat this today if possible. He is one
of the favorites for the Astor cup race

"HOT WAFFLE HOUSE"
At the Fair, Where Waffles Were
Cooked in One Minute by Elec-

LTIGltys w a6 OPdAAA A1NC.
Hot waffles in one minute by cleo
trical cooking was a feature of the
Big Free Fair that attracted much
attention and maze the Hot Waffle
House, conducted by Mrs. John A
Worley and her sister. Mrs. II. t.
Kreipe, one of the most popular eat
ing places on the grounds.
The Edison Company does not
claim that its electric waffle irons
will cook waffles in less than three
minutes, but Mrs. Morley filled
hundreds of orders in one minute
flat A representative of Current
Topics" noticing the quickness with
which she was cooking, held the
watch on her and it was a surprise
even to her when she was shown
that she was turning out orders so
fast.
Mrs. worley and Mrs. Kreipe be-
gan Monday with two electric waffle
irons, but their place became i'm
mediately so popular that two more
were purchased and installed.
The ease with which these we'll
known ladies served thousands of
orders of hot waffles to Fair Wis
itors showed in a most striking way
the wonders of cooking with cleo
tricity The Edison Company has
made a number of sales of waffle
irons as a result of their exhibition
of cooking waffles by electricity.
And, by the way, If you didn't eat
any of those waffles, you missed a
treat. They were not only cooked
quickly, but they were deliciously
light and satisfying.
