L. game would be available to go
against the Farmers.
1t is probable that the lineup Friday
will be about what it was last week
Student Manager Haynes and his as
SiStant, Harry Champeny, are busy this
week preparing for the biggest crowd
of the season, as it is expected that
most of the visiting state teachers will
be spectators.
College of EmpOria Next Week.
The game Thursday week with the
College of Emporia at Emporia will
wind up the seasons schedule, but
Coach Gray announced Monday night
that an effort was being made to ar
range a Turkey Day game with some
team of about the same strength of
the Ichabods.
A proposition to play another game
with Cooper college has been made,
and there has been some talk of try
ing to get a return battle with Baker.
Also, it is understood that the Haskell
Indians would be glad to take on the
Ichabods Thanksgiving. But the gen
eral impression is that if a game is
arranged, it will not be with any of
these three.
Coach Gray declined to say whether
or not negotiations have been opened
with any teams, but said that he would
know something definite within the
next few days.
Indians Would Draw.
A great many think that a clash
with DR.. Kennedy's Haskell Indians
would be the best thing Washburn
could do, especially from a financial
standpoint, but the athletic board of
Washburn has refused to consent to
game with the Red Skins for the
past several seasons, and as Haskell
was nedied admittance to the Kansas
conference this season, there is little
likelihood that the Washburn faculty
has changed it's attitude.
Neither Bearg nor Trobert will be

game, but both will be available in the
College of Emporia fracas and in any
Turkey Day game that may be ar
ranged provided it is not with Mis-
souri, Valley eleven.
Among possible opponents for a
wind-up game, ST. Marys, Ottawa, the
K. c. Vets, Southwestern, Salina Wes-
leyan, Lindsborg, William Jewell,
been mentioned, but no one seems to
know who may be taken on. The
trouble is most of the schools probably
have already made arrangements for
the only team whose schedule shows
an open date on the 25th.
Aggie Parade Here.
The Kansas Aggie band, seventy in
number, will parade the Topeka
streets next Friday morning at IL
o'clock. Accompanied by several hun
dred rooters, the band is coming on
the special train which will bring thir-
ty football men. Capt. E. w. Skinner
will be out of the game and possibly
the rest of the season because of
broken shoulder. Sullivan, quarter,
has a bad shoulder and a game
knee and will be replaced by SlatterIy
The coach, John r. Bender, is busy
advancing bear stories concerning the
WaShburn game. 1.-The WaShburn
Aggie contest will be battle royal
said Coach Bender yesterday 1--WE
look for the game of our lives. Odds
will slightly favor WaShburn because
of the fact that the contest will be on
the home grounds. We expect to take
the entire quad of thirty men who
have played throughout the season as
an appreciation of their work.

gaze directly at the six-foot frame of
Coach Stiehm. This is all the Mount
Dread students know. They have no
knowledge of the plays that will be
used Saturday or the men who will
face the champion Cornhuskers.
Many Rumors Out.
Many rumors have gone out. One
is that k U. has three players that
have not yet been used in a game.
Another is that the plays used will be
a revelation to football followers in
the Missouri Valley.
Nothing certain will be known about
the Jayhawkers until they trot
through the gate to the McCook field
gridiron Saturday afternoon before
what is expected to be the largest
crowd in the history of K. U. football
One supreme effort will be made by
the KanSanS. The morale of the K. U.
team is excellent. The players seem
to have confidence in their ability to
trounce the Cornhuskers. The stu
dent body each night generates little
more enthusiasm. BY Saturday the
quiet old town of Lawrence will be
charged with an air of expectancy
which will fire the Kansas players in
their gridiron attack.
Croft Is Back.
candy" Croft, who has been sick
with malaria, is back in the game.
Keeling, center, who has been out of
the game for two weeks, is said to be
ready for Stiehm's team. "Jick'
Fast, who is the personification of his
name according to football experts, is
ready. The two Gillespies, halfbacks,
are in the best of shape. Nielsen at
fullback was never better, it is re-
ported. Heath and Reber, ends, are
fighting in practice this week as they
never have before, the word comes
through the locked gates at McCook
field Lindsey, the kicker, is sending
high spirals in practice that can be
seen far above the fence that sur
rounds the gridiron. And Capt. Tony
James is confident of winning from
Nebraska
Not word of this is certain. Coach
Olcott is a bundle of optimism but as
silent as a mute. The K. q. students
know that there will be a football
game Saturday and that's about all.

FEDERAL MAGNATEs MEET.
Only Routine Business Expected at
Annual Outlaw Gathering Today.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 9.-Inter-
est in baseball circles centers on the
meeting of the Federal league, which
is to be held here today. Nothing def
mite as to the nature of the meeting
has leaked out and there is consider
able speculation about the session.
That the Federal magnates will only
transact routine business at the session
was the opinion expressed by Edward
z. Gates, attorney for the league The
state law requires that the league,
which was organized in Indiana, hold
its annual meeting in this state and it
was thought that after a short session
here to comply with the law, the
baseball men will go to French Lick,
Ind, or to Chicago, where plans for
making peace with s.organized'' base
ball may be discussed.

plays that have been built from the
very beginning of the season for this
crucial game are being smoothed and

There is only one thing known for

is that Coach Olcott has been thinking
of Nebraska for year, even before he

New York, Nov. 9.-Frank Moran,

Professor Lewis Shows Topekans
How to Play CueIess Billiards.
Prof Lewis, the worlds champion
nose and finger billiardist, had little
trouble last night in winning his ex-
hibition matches at the Tromp Smoke
House. He took on all corners and
won every match. In his 14.2 balk
line match, playing with his fingers,
he won by the score of so to 80, and
he won his other matches equally as
easily.
playing with the nose instead of
cues may catch on in Topeka" Prof.
Lewis said, but I doubt it Most
players who try it quit when their
nose begins to get sore and never try
again. The thing tc do is to keep on
playing until the nose gets as hard as
cue tip
The professor never plays with a
cue, relying entirely on his nose and
his fingers. He makes masses, draws
and kisses much better than the aver
age player who uses a cue. Tonight,
the professor will give an exhibition al

CROP LOSS IN U. 5.

Congressman w s. Goodwin Urges >ag'ops tiatsetiu Commission. Bring Pro'uear arj Cousuw-

(Arkansas Gazette. April 25)

(Arkansas Gazette. April 25) e
 The most oXDars.1a anf u0jus6a- iabe marketing system in the world causes a two billion dollar crop loss annually in the United States. Con 1 Igressman W. S. Goodwin said at the Hotel Marion last night Mir. Good win is en route from Washington to Muskogee, where he will discuss "The Need of a National Marketing Com mission" before the Southern Com Imercial Congress, which convenes to- morrow. The commission is propos- ed to provide a better distribution and marketing of the farm products. Dur ing the last session of Congress Mir Goodwin was active for legislation to create such a commission. Since ad- journment commission appointed by the president without legislative au- thority has been advocated and has met with favor in the cabinet. accord ing to the congressman.
 "Under the plan," said Mr. Goodwin "the president would appoint com mission to survey the entire coun- try and to plan for a system including state, county and township commis- sions, who would cooperate and re- port back to the president.
 "The Farmers Union, the National Grange, the Society of Equity, the Cleaners, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, agricultural schools and colleges, boys corn clubs, girls tomato clubs and many other organizations might be federated to work in har mony with the rules and regulations prescribed by the national commission
 Would Provide Buyers.
 "The state commissions doubtless would be named by the governors. The state commissioners would select the county commission and the latter body would appoint the township commissioners.
 "A seller of agricultural products would call upon the township commis- sion for a buyer. If it knew no buyer the county commission would be con suited and if no buyer could be found there, the state commission would be asked to supply one, and so on up to the national commission, provided the supply was of sufficient quantity to merit shipment beyond the state.
 "The object of the commission would be realized in bringing the pro ducer and consumer in closer touch and in thus eliminating much of the waste that now prevails. Standard ization, grading, classification and packing all would be systematized and the best agents would be employed to find a ready market for agricultural products.
 Farmer Gets One Third.
 "The farmers of this country re- ceive about nine billion dollars annu- ally for their agricultular products, but the consumers, it is said, pay about 27 billion dollars for these prod nets. This shows that the American farmer is doing business on a 33 l-3 cents on the dollar basis and that the consumers pay $1 for the product for which the producer receives 33 cents. Of course an enormous amount of waste occurs, as products rot and de- cav in transit, but billions of dollars

COMMITTEES WILL
 TOUR STATE IN MAY
ReOrganize Sons of Confederate Camps which Have Dissolved to Increase Strength WIN. Bran
 don, Com. -in- Chief.

For the purpose of increasing the strength of W. N. Brandon of Little Rock, in the contest for Commander in Chief of the Sons of Confederate Reunion to be held in Richmond in June, several committees will tour the State in May to reorganlze camps which have dissolved. N. B. Forrest of Memphis, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff of the Sons, will assist in the work of recognizing the dead camps, spending ten days in Arkansas for that purpose.
 Virginia will have a candidate in the field, whose friends have been working for several months. The Arkansas Sons did not decide to place Mr. Bran don in nomination until the past week and as soon as they made the an- nouncement, messages were received from all Southwestern states that they would support the Arkansas man. MT. Brandon has been twice Com mander of the Trans Mississippi De partment, and was later member at large of the Executive Council of the Sons. He was also member of the executive committee which entertain ed the Confederate Veterans in Little Rock in 1911.
 It is figured that Arkansas can send a voting strength of at least POO to the reunion, and there is seldom over 450 represented at the annual meeting of the organization. If Louisiana Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma cast their vote with Arkansas, this would insure the election of Mr. Brandon.
