tween them are strained almost to the
breaking point.
1t all happened over football game
at Hoiton on Thanksgiving day. A
dispute over a Holton touchdown ter
minated the game when the Hiawatha
team left the field. But the dispute
bids fair to last throughout the conn
ing ages. After the game had been
terminated a story was sent out from
Holton stating that the HoIton team
had won 5 to IA. Then a story was
sent out from Hiawatha, throwing diff
ferent figures on the scenery. And
stories have been pouring out of the
two rivals pretty steadily ever since.
The last one that poured in the di-
rection of Topeka was received by this
column Tuesday afternoon. 1t reads
in part as follows:
ITO the Topeka State Journal:
4 noticed the question asked in
some of the papers Who won the
football game Holton VS.. Hiawatha on
Thanksgiving at HoIton?' To answer
the question we say Holton. The final
score Is to IA in favor of Holton.
I'VE notice quite a howl goes up
from Hiawatha; their. referee was
chased off the field. That is pure in
vention and not true We will say
that man that can reverse himself
as often as the referee did that day
he would naturally chase himself off
the field. l was an interested spec
tator at that game and as hundreds
of others who were there desired to
see only fairness for both teams. The
umpire has been very fair and has
rendered fairness in the past games as
well as that day. The controversy
was over a touchdown that Holton
had made, the umpire read the rules
in the presence of the public, the ref
cree decided it was legal touchdown
in favor of Holton, but he had no
more than passed upon it until a num-
Der of men appeared and he changed
his decision. 1t seemed that these
parties had great deal of money up
and SO stated it in plain words to the
referee that that decision must be
changed. The game at this time stood
IA to "A with Holtons right to kick
the goal 1t was then that Hiawatha
forfeited to Holton by leaving the
field. Hiawatha should have stayed
and finished the game as they were
not subjected to any mob violence.
Football should be kept on a high
plane, and played upon the principles
of right and fairness. We don't UNI
derStand how the game could be for
fefted to Hiawatha from the fact that

WHO is BEST GOLFER?
Travers, NIarston and Gardner All
Had a Brilliant Year.


New York Dec. 1.-Who is the best
amateur golfer of the year? Jerry
Travers, who won the open, Bob"
Gardner, who won the amateur
championship, or Max Marston. who
won the most invitation tournaments
during the golfing season?
Marston, the New Jersey champion,
has earned an enviable place in golf
in the season just closed. When the
handicap committee decides on the
relative merits of the amateurs next
spring. Marston will not be far from
the scratch mark. He won six impor-
tant tournaments in 1915, including
the championship of New Jersey. He
was also runner up at two other big
tournaments and was semi-finalist in
the amateur championship at Detroit.
His latest achievement was the win
ming of the Thanksgiving tournament
at Lakewood. Only three weeks be-
fore he triumphed at Atlantic City.
Earlier in the season Marston won at
Garden City, defeating w. J. Travis
in the final. He also won at Manches-
ter, VT. at Schenectady, N. Y, and at
Essex county, where he captured the
New Jersey state title He was rum
ner-up at Buffalo and at Oakland,
where he sustained his only bad de-
feat of the season at the hands of

Should the Washburn authorities de-
eide to try a new. coach they could not
do better than give E. C. Quigley. DR..
Kennedy or ''Bil1"' Hargiss a chance
at the job.
1t is probable that any one of these
three men would come as high as
ways costs.
1t is hardly probable that Quigley
would consider any kind of an offer
as long as he retains his affiliation
with Governor Tener's baseball league.
And besides, if he became a coach
again, he wouldn't have time for so
much officiating.
An effort is being made to revive
the race war of the squared circle. A
Boston syndicate is said to have Of
fered Jess Willard $4,000 to meet
Sam Langford, the bout to be staged
in Boston.
And, speaking of the squared circle
and Jess Willard, it seems that Jim
Coffey, the Dublin Giant, may yet get
a chance at the Kansas champion.
Coffey's victory over Gunboat Smith
by the k. o. route Monday night seems
to have impressed eastern critics that
he should be matched again against
L
meeting Willard for the worlds title.
Tom Jones, WIZARDS manager, who
saw the Coffey-Smith fight, said:
.'From what 1 was told about the COT
fey-Moran fight, think Coffey should
be given another chance. OF course
that is none of my business, but from
a. sportsmanlike standpoint it looks
like a good match
Chicago has just survived a six-day
bicycle race and now New York is go

DEMOCRATIC GOLF IDEA.
All Clubs Are to Have Voice in Ruling
United states Association.

New York, Dec. Howard F.
Whitney, secretary of the United
States Golf association, has issued no
tees of the proposed changes in the
constitution.
Four amendments are suggested.
They deal with the active and allied
clubs of the association. Heretofore,
only the active clubs had a voice in
the golf affairs of the country, but it
now is proposed to give the allied
clubs, which form the majority in the
associations membership, the same
power. In other words, the plan is to
elect them to active membership.
The old plan has been in operation
over twenty years. The executive COM
