The showing of the Santa Fe as

fiscal year has been the subject of ia

BIC pep MEETING
Washburn Students Ginger Up
Enthusiasm for Warrensburg.
ROusing Rally Was Held i'm
Chapel This Morning.

| The 1915 football season at Wash
burn college began in earnest this
morning when the student body, fac
ulty and friends of the school met in
chapel to manufacture pep and mix
up mustard for the big game with
Warrensburg tomorrow afternoon on
1chabod field.
The chapel was crowded to it's ca
pacity and every brand and make of
enthusiasm generator was resorted to,
including a call for men with nerve"
from Coach Gray and rousing talks by
numerous speakers, including DR..
Harris, president of Northwestern un;-
vcrsity.
The band was there; the girls were
there; the entire student body, mem
bers of the team, old heroes of the Blue
and White, the glee club, the law col
lege and many friends of the school
ali were bubbling over with enthusi-
asm and all predicted that the worm
would turn and the jinX of the score
less, victoryless season would be
Coach Calls for Men.
Everything and everybody was opti-
mistic except Coach Gray, who in
brief talk, said he was beginning to
wonder if there are not enough men
in school who have enough nerve to
play football. Coach Gray said that
this week there had hardly been
enough men out for the varsity to
scrimmage against and that this con-
dition has existed all season. Our
trouble is Gray said, mostly due to
the fact that many of the players lack
experience. And we have so few me1i
out in uniform that they have had to
get their experience from games, and
while getting it they have been losing
the games"
Dr. Harris of Northwestern univer-
sity made a very interesting and en-
tertaining talk of about ten minutes
and devoted most of his time to show
ing how even a losing. football team is
good thing for school. DIR. 'Har-
ris wourd up his talk by stating that
he hoped the Washburnites, led by
their Red Devil, would be able to show
the Missourians.
Other Speakers.
Among the other speakers were:
L. NJ. Jones of the Santa Fe. Judge
Benson of the law school, David Neis-
wanger, and ex-Captain Earl Trobert.
Tom Crawford, president of the Root
ers' club. presided over the meeting.
After the meeting the student body
came to the city in special cars and
paraded over town, advertising the
game.
1t was announced this afternoon
that ex-Captain Earl Trobert would
be out in uniform today and that he
might play in tomorrow's game.
Quarterback Glen Elbe. who returned
to school this week, was given uni
form today and it was generally
thought that he would be sent into
the game tomorrow

ducing the principal. These would be
the net results.
In the case of the santa Fe, twenty
years of continuous development have
been REQUIRED for the achievement of
the results stated. The man in private
business, 1 think, would feel that he
had not done so we'll if he could show
no more than this after twenty years

Year of Disasters.
For the best business results the
Santa Fe'S yearly average ought to
equal or surpass the 1915 fiscal year
and the good years ought to do enough
better to take care of the lean years
The new year starts out less fortunate
~, with the Galveston storm in August
causing the company a loss of three
quarters of a million dollars. and the
Admore gas explosion causing a fur
Their large loss
Asked about plans for new con-
struction this year, Mr. Ripley said
that the Santa Fe had no plans, except
for such improvements as are neces-
sary to keep the property up to stand
ara, and maintain the efficiency of
the service. Development in the Okla
homa oil fields may make it necessary
to build some short branches, but the
company is without a general extern
sion program
'Is there no demand for railway ex-
TENSIONS? the reporter inquired.
Same Old Story.
There is a demand, and possibly
need, but there is little encourage
ment for money owners to invest in
railway securities Mr.. Ripley re-
piled. While public sentiment to-
ward the carriers is more friendly
than it was a few years ago, the
change is not yet sufficient to pre-
vent governmental agencies from try
ing to force them to perform high
class service for an inadequate re-
turn. But the people have a better
ton than they ever had before, and
with that understanding, 1 hope the
situation will change in favor of fur
ther railway development and a cor
development of the coun-
try"

was said. would remove most of the

In explaining the impracticabillty ot

no surety companies whose financial
resources were anywhere near those OF
