ELECTIONS ON SUNDAY
Congressmen Will Be Chosen This
Month by Mexican Voters.

Washington, Oct. 19.-American
consuls in Mexico have notified the
state department that Carranza has
ordered elections for the Mexican con-
gress to be held on the last Sunday in
the present month.
The elections are to be held on the
basis of the census of 1910 and of the
territorial or congressional divisions
of 1912
Some officials intimate that no cleo
tions will be possible except in ter
ritories which are safe from the Le-
galistas and the Villistas and that as a
consequence the new congress will be
absolutely dominated by Carranza.
These officials expect that when the
congress so elected shall meet in De-
cember events will shape themselves
up rapidly for the election of Car
rama as president.
1t is stated that this government,
by its recognition of Carranza as first
chief" instead of as president, paved
the way for making him eligible to the
presidency by constituency that
would be forced to elect him.

THISISA BUSY DAY
GridirOn Teams in Final Prepa-
ratiOns for Weeks Games.
Benton Probably Out of Icha-
bod Lineup Temporarily.
MUTT & JEFF

This afternoon promised to be
busy one in every gridiron camp in
Kansas, all of the teams except the
K. L. Jayhawkers being engaged in
making final preparations for the
weekend contests
AS has been the case since the open
ing of the season. most of the Kansas
conference teams will stage their bat
ties on Friday instead of Saturday.
Among tomorrow's important, engage
ments will be the Friends-St. Marys
clash, C. of f. against Hays Normal,
Paramount against Ottawa, Cooper
against Southwestern and Pittsburg
Normal against Southwestern.
OF these games, the st. Marys-
Friends will probably be watched the
closest because the Quakers are con-
ceded to have one of the strongest
machines in the state and the Catho-
lies have let it be known that they
expect to spring surprise.
Saturday Games.
Saturday the big games will be the
one between Washburn and Baker at
Topeka and the Emporia Normal
Aggie battle at Manhattan. All dope
sters admit that the Washburn- Metho-
dist meeting is hard to predict but
it is generally conceded that the Ag-
gies have the advantage over the Har-
giss men.
Tonight the Washburn Ichabods
were to hold their last scrimmage in
preparation for the reception of the
Baldwinites Coach Kennedy an
nounces that he is entirely satisfied
with the Improvement his men have
made since the Friends game, but with
Benton probably out of the lineup for
a week or so because of boils, an
eleventh hour change may be made
in the placing of the regulars. Ben
ton has been receiving hurry up treat
ment in an effort to get him in shape,
hut if he is unable to play, it is prob
able that his place will be taken by
Whitcomb or Cox.
BeaIs Helps Squad.
Ex-Captain Pinky Beals was out in
a suit giving the Ichabods some point
ers Wednesday night and showing
them how he used to get away with
some of his wonderful broken field
running.
All of the Washburn freshmen have
now been put thru a physical examin-
alton by DR.. Jim Stewart who says
that they are a healthy bunch of colts
and that there is nothing of a consti-
tutional nature to keep any of them
from becoming gridiron stars. 1t has
been definitely stated, however, that
Baker will not play any more this
year with the regulars.

INSIDE GpIDTpnN TIPS
BY CHARLES f. BRICKLEY.
Good Drop Kickers.


}f5 OF course, a good drop kicker is
essential to a championship team but
is not as important as a punter Aside
from his ability to score field goals.
a good drop kicker serves as a favor
able threat for deceptive plays when
close to the opponents goal For in
stance, man gets back for a drop
kick on the thirty-yard line on the
third down, and if he has the reputa-
tion of being a successful kicker, the
opposing team does not know Just
what to expect. He may dropkick, or
he may run or pass or let somebody
else run or pass. A good example of
this was in my last game against Yale
when l went into the game in the last
five minutes, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of dropkicking. I could tell by
the expression on the faces of the
Yale men that they expected I was
going to kick. Instead of kicking
however. we tried a forward pass
which resulted in Harvard scoring
seven points instead of three.
More and more attention is being
paid every year by coaches to the
Kicking game. Practically every coach
has a different style of coaching
punters. To my mind, Percy Haugh-
ton is without an equal as coach of
kickers. After watching a man kick
for some time in his natural way,
Haughton adds to this natural ability
by instruction that is really scientific.

happened a few years ago in the
American association.
Frank Bonner, once a big league
star, was at bat, with a fellow named
Thomas pitching. Thomas was bald
headed but not proud about it. so he
wore a wig. Bonner knew nothing
about the dome disguise.
Frank picked out one of Thomas's
twisters and drove it right back at
him. The ball smashed Thomas on
the upper division of his forehead and
promptly knocked off Thomass cap
and his wig.
THE ball Travelled so quickly that
it had hit Thomas and uncrowned him
while Bonner altho already running
was watching the flight of the ball.
when it hit Thomas and exposed
his shining knob to the rays of the
setting sun, Bonner stopped and
looked-and gasped. One of his team
mates rushed from the bench and
yelled at him:
Run, you boob; runi'

READY FOR HOLTON
Topeka HI. s. Eleven Meets Old
Rival Tomorrow.
Locals Crippled Up but Are Full
of Confidence.

With three yawning gaps in the
lineup the high school will face the
Holton high school eleven tomorrow
afternoon at League park, at o'clock.
Harshbarger, the heavy fullback and
the mainstay of the high school de-
fense, is out of the game with a
smashed nose.
Tex Kouns also will be absent from
the quarterback's job as the result of
an injury to his side, in the same place
that he was hurt in the auto accident
sustained last spring. Lindell, right
halfback whose kicking prevented
several possible scores by Manhattan
in the game two weeks ago will be
juries.
Holton Is Strong.
The Holton team has a forbidding
appearance from the rumors that
have drifted down the Rock Island
line to Topeka They have beaten the
Campbell college varsity in several
practice scrimmages and in the mat
ter of weight it will be like heavy
weight going against a welterweight.
They are reputed to have one of the
strongest high school teams in the
state. They are coached by Carl
Pearson, an old washburn football
star.
Nevertheless the high school is an
ticipating victory, according to Coach
Elmer Bearg.
Efficient Machine.
fAltho We have a light team this
year." Bearg said, 'the fellows are
rounding into mighty attractive foot
ball shape. They are getting all the
practice they need with more than
forty men out in suit every night The
boys have their plays down pat now
and it is going to be an efficient ma
chine that meets Holton tomorrow
afternoon"
Bearg admitted that the absence
of Kouns, Lindell and Harshbarger
presented a heavy handicap to Holton,
but with three or more substitutes for
every position, he is not doing so much
worrying as he otherwise might.

A Real tfBrick" From the Old
Original Calihan Clay, He Is
This Topeka Boy Is a Promis-
ing Member of Kennedy's
IchabOd Team.

Should the Washburn Ichabods ever
make tour thru the south and hap
pen to play a game in Breathitt county
Kentucky, you can rest assured they
would receive the backing of the ma
tives to a man.
You may wonder at this, but no
Breathitt county mountaineer would.
Those who could read would glance at
the programs and see the name of a
Calihan on them and that would be all
the assurance they would want. They
would put their money on the team
without question because they know
that the word Calihan is synonymous
with the word fight. A few years ago
a former sheriff of Breathitt county,
Ed Callihan by name, died with his
boots on and the whole world was told
about his death because Ed Callihan
had made a national reputation for
himself as a fighter. And there have
been many other Callihans back in the
Cumberland mountains who have won
renown as scrappers.
1t is a fighting breed of men. And,
from the showing he has made SO far,
the young lad whose picture is playing
an accompaniment to this article has
demonstrated that he is indeed a
Brick out of the old clay"
"Brick'-that's his football handle

tinue to do so. He was one of the
shining lights of last seasons fresh

very satisfactory so far this season.

$3.50 an Hour for Gregg.

Vean Gregg is another one of those

dians. Then his left fin lost it's wig
Cling power and Vean did little else
than nurse it for the balance of the
year.
In 1915 and again this season Gregg
was almost useless to his club. The
main chores he performed were those
of the relief variety. In 1915 he
worked to decision in only six
games; this year it was five.
For performing in eleven complete
combats in two years, Gregg got his
regular salary reported to be $4,000
a season and two cuts of the the world

twenty hours in two years, or $3.50

EBBETS IS NO HOG!
Oh, No! He Only Wants Two
Million for 100000 Holdings.
Arthur Irwin Tells of the Fun
niest Play Ever Pulled.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Oct. 19.-C. Hercules
Ebbets is a generous old soul. He has
tired of baseball and will sell his club
to anyone who wishes to part with
s2.0O0,OO0; just that and nothing
more. C. Hercules might have de-
manded $3,0O0.0 600 or $4,000,OOO, but
he isn't the kind of fellow who wants
to drive hard bargain. He is salts
fled with small profits, such as about
S1,500,000, if he sold his club for
100000.
The whole Dodger team didn't cost
Ebbets $4,000 to recruit. If he placed
each player on sale today it is doubt
full if he would get much beyond
100000. Just how much the stands
represent is question. However,
about $1,000 600 would more than COW
er it. Allowing an extra 100000 for
the valuation of equipment means that
the intrinsic worth of the whole outfit
is 100000.
So the difference between $500, 900
and $2,000,000 can be explained by
the cost of good will. Who wants to
pay C. Hercules s1,500,000 for his best
and heartiest wishes? Don't crowd,
