The following account of football
game is clipped from an Ailil al oO1'
Mich, paper:
bridge Builders again make score
less game BY defeating the FRESH
man Law team on yards in scoreless
tie game yesterday. the sophomore
engineers won the fourth and last set
of numerals on the campus champion
ship scene So many deadlock games
have been played in the interclass con-
test that the agreement was entered
into before the game that IN case OF
fanr or
yards would be called the winner. 1t
was the fortune of the engineers to
be this team. having won by 46 yards
This is the seventh great tie game that
the boilermakers have played, five or
them being scoreless. One other game
was won by the anvil Founders. when
a scoreless tie against the Fresh Lit
was won by the engineers. who car
ried the ball the longest distance after
an agreement had been made to decide
the contest that way. The game yes
terday was played on a cold, snowy
field. and was tooth and nail process,
neither side being able to make any
scores. AS it was the final contest for
the last set of numerals. both teams
were determined to win, but no scores
were forthcoming"
A number of Topeka men are stu
dents in Michigan university this year,
and one of them. Mr.. Eimore Petty
john. played on the winning team. His
position was right guard. He is TAX
ing the engineering course, and is
student in the sophomore class. He
writes that he played every minute of
every game. He was a member of the
Washburn team when he was a stu
dent there. Mr.. Pettyjohn will arrive

An attractive Topeka girl who has
gone down east for an indefinite stay,
is having the time of her young life.
A good looking beau is devoting him
self to her. taking her for frequent
rides in his big. handsome car, in
viting her to dinner or luncheon every
day or two. buying her flowers and
making himself agreeable in every
way he can think of. The girl is at
work for a cause in the east. but a
cause can usually be so managed as
to give a person time for some recrea-
tion the side.
And it occurs to me that not very
long ago l heard prospective Bos-
tonian say that there were no eligible
men in New England-that they were
garnered in by the home women with
/ out delay, but it does look as tho there
might be pretty fair choice left for
the imported cleaners.
