READY FOR GAMES
Kansas Football Teams Wind
up Preliminary Practices.
First Games of the Season
Played This Afternoon.

With the formal opening of the 1915
football season in Kansas this week
the preliminary practice period at
most of the colleges in the state has
been ended. The various coaches have
determined in a general way the abil-
ity of the candidates for positions ana
it is believed that from now on the
squads will settle down to the steady
grind of the season.
One thing that seems apparent,
however, is that while the open game
will be big factor in this seasons
play among the Kansas elevens, the
styles of football to be played will vary
greatly. Observers account for this
by pointing out that there are eleven
new coaches at as many institutions
in the state and that these men have
been recruited from throughout the
country and have been trained under
various masters of football"
Stiff Scrimmages.
Stiff scrimmages have marked the
weeks work at every institution in the
state, tackling, forward and lateral
passes, falling on the ball, signals and
other rudimentS of the game having
been taught. Two strong candidates
for positions of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college eleven suffered in
juries in the scrimmage, which, it Is
said, may keep them out of the game
for weeks. McGalliard. who looked
promising for the halfback position,
sustained painfully strained shoulder
and may be out of the game some
time. Wright, one of the veterans of
the eleven, suffered a sprained ankle
and it is said may be unable to play
for a month.
Herman Olcott, the new coach of
the University of Kansas, has been
busy drilling his men for the season
opener with William Jewell, October
.. Despite the fact that the university
has the largest squad in three years,
followers of the game believe that the
1915 eleven will be lighter but faster
than usual.

Notes of the Tournament.

DIR. Wilson Hobart, who played q
wonderful uphill game against E. H.
Shauffler of Kansas City, Friday aft
ernoon and won 1 up. had not played
golf for two years until about two
weeks ago. Considering this fact his
game has been great. DR.. Hobart was
member of the Topeka Country
club two years ago and the local mem
bers who played against him then
say that he always was a natural
golfer. His match with Shauffler was
one of the spectacular events of the
tournament The two players were
even up at the seventeenth hole. Ho-
bart laid near the eighteenth hole in
three. His fourth putt rolled around
the rim of the cup but did not go in.
making a complete stymie of Shauf-
fler's ball. The Kansas City man
made a desperate effort to curve the
ball into the cup but failed and Ho-
bart won the match.
J. S. Dean, who came right along
in championship style in the third
flight. takes his dog with him when
he plays golf. The dog sits directly
behind his master when a stroke is
played and never moves. He has
more decorum when on Il golf course
than most of the specta tors.
When golfers get together they
must swap stories; it is a necessary
addition to the game. When young
Bonebrake made the seventh hole in
two early In the week the play re-
called the time when M A. Low made
eight in one. That was before
the course was changed. Eight
was a short hole and was situated be-
hind a clump of willows Low used
an iron and lofted the ball over the
willows in fine shape. 1t hit the flag,
was EMBODIED and dropped into the
cup. There were several witnesses to
the spectacular shot and they have
been telling about iC all week.
None of the players in the tourna-
ment at the Country club ever heard
of paving a golf course. But this is
exactly what they are doing in the
construction of the new course at Lido,
near Long Branch, Long Island.
After the surfaces have been grad
ed by means of scoops, that part of
it which was to be grassed was covered
with bricks made from meadow bog.
These bricks measure 10 inches long
by inches thick, and inasmuch as so
acres were paved in this fashion, the
enormity of the work may be imag-
ined.
These bog bricks were then sub
jected to disc narrowing, and after a
half-inch layer of lime had been
spread, well-rotted stable manure was
put on to the depth of from 2 to 3
inches, and over this 2 y inches Of top
soil was spread.

dation ii will be able to produce turf

Of NeE London was also with the Wis
ftors and after an auto ride about the
city, the hearing was opened.
Colonel Beach presided, Mr.. Weber
was secretary and corporation counsel
Joseph T. Tanning conducted the case
for the city.
At the opening of the hearing Col
Beach stated that the committee was
not convinced that they would be
justified in recommending the expend-
iture because the cost might be out of
proportion TO the benefits to accrue,
but they were sitting as judges and
would like to hear relevant facts in
the case.
When Mr.. Tanning told Col. Beach
that he had an array of statistics to
present. the colonel said they might
be handed to the committee who would
look them over. The statistics were
made up from statements by business
houses that use about 200 feet OF
water front.
Mr.. Tanning called attention to the
s. Il - . ~ s,1A

deep out where the Block Island lands
on the south side it is from IL to Is

impossibility Of bringing Southern coal

Lucius Briggs, secretary of the Ed
ward Chappen Co, explained that the
from Virginia cannot come up this
river The minimum tonnage is in
creasing yearly and larger vessels
would be a great advantage and aid in
getting bigger markets. The tendency
Is towards bigger barges. The cost OF
Tightening in New London is expensive
Mr.. Briggs said there is II feet at his
wharf and only about half of the lun-
Der Of the firm comes by water. A
large amount OF coal comes TO Nor
witch by rail.
c. J. Isbister, agent of the New Ha-
ven Railroad Co, told of the depth Of
the water at the old steamboat wharf
and that his company has 1000 fee
of river front, but leases a large par
of 1t to the Dawiey Co, and to tbs
city Of Norwich. There is 20 feet Of
water at AIIyn's Point at low tide
