interference he might have been one
of the shining lights of the season,
but he has been compelled to batter
himself to pieces against heavier men
in every game he has played and for
this reason his showing has not been
as great as it might otherwise have
been. Likewise, Welty of the Hays
Normal team might have been ranked
higher than the honorable mention list
without going far wrong.
However, the selections were made
after taking in every possible consid-
Grafton and an effort was made to
rank the men according to their actual
accomplishments and unit values
rather than according to their per-
sonal proves. 1t will be noted that
no captains were picked for the three
teams. This was omitted because it is
practically impossible to tell what kind
of a leader player would make with
out seeing him in action and knowing
exactly the influence he has over other
men.

FOOTBALL TODAY
No Conference Games Sched-

Several Eastern Teams Also
Are Taking a Rest.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 25.-The
football center of the southwest to-
day moved to Iowa City, Ia. There
the elevens representing the state
institutions of Iowa and Nebraska
were ready to tangle in the only game
scheduled for a Missouri valley COR
ference team today The other
elevens of the conference were OBJ
serving today as one of rest in prep
aration for Thanksgiving Day strug-
giles with time honored enemies.
With nothing but comparative
scores to guide the statistician the
contest between Nebraska, who this
the Missouri valley which, for the last
half dozen years has not been ques-
toned, and it's neighbor in the big
nine is apt to be a toss up until the
final whistle ends the game. The two
teams have met a common enemy but
once. both having defeated Iowa State
college of Ames. Nebraska won to
0, while Iowa downed her sister state
institution 10 to 16. Nebraska las
year defeated Iowa So to T. In the
event of Iowa's winning today Kansas
is expected to claim the valley title
while if the Cornhuskers emerge vic
torious they undoubtedly will declare
they have as good a right to the
championship as any one.

New York, Nov. 25.-Several of the

PREPARE FOR EMPORIA.
Topeka High School Team Working
Hard for Turkey DAY Game.

The Topeka high school football
team with three straight victories on
the record books is practicing this
week for the Emporia game here,
Thanksgiving Day, with all conf
dence. The loss of Captain McKibben
and TEX" Kouns is being felt less and
less. Yonkers is fully the captains
equal, but KounS's absence is more
noticeable. However, with young
Smiley and Don Lindell the team is
being run well.
High school fans remembering the
spectacular carrying the ball of ].
Jones, shifted to the backfield in the
Holton game, hope that he will still
be at half in the Turkey day contest.
Jones's feats in ground gaining were
next to those of Harshbarger's the
high schools best bet on offensive.
Emporia is understood to have an ex-
tremely fast team this year.

HIS COLOR A HANDICAP
To BROWNS NEGRO STAR

Fritz Pollard, of Brown, plays
under a greater handicap than any
other halfback in the country; yet
he ranks at the top. Pollard gets
more bumps and more hard tack
ing than any other pigskin toter.
The efficiency of a halfback u.s.
ually is decreased considerably
when the enemy can spot" him.
And because Pollard is a negro the
enemy never fails to find him
among the group of Brown inter-
ference. They spot" Pollard the
moment the ball is passed and they
make their play almost always for
Pollard, because he does at least
two-thirds of the ball carrying for
the Providence boys. But they cam
not halt him.

HUMBLE NORMALS
Baker Defeats Hargiss Eleven
in Game at Baldwin.
Paramount and Pitt. Normal
Are Both Friday Winners.

Altho the defeat of the Kansas
State Normal Teachers of Emporia
by Baker university 70 to was the
surprise of the Kansas conference
season and mussed up the clean rec
ord of the Teachers, it cannot affect
their claim to the state title because
they still have a higher percentage
than any other team that is eligible.
Undoubtedly the Normals must
have been suffering from the malady
known as overconfidence, as reports
from Baldwin indicate the Methodists
outplayed them turnout the game.
The first Baker score came in the
third period when Grove, dropkicked
field goal from the 30-yard line.
Carver picked up a tumble for the
Methodists in the final period and
raced fifty yards to a touchdown.
Fairmount and Pitt. Win.
The Baker victory over the State
Normals was the only surprise in
Kansas conference games Friday,
Paramount defeating Bethel to 0,
and Pitt. Normal winning from OF
tawa by the same score. The game
at Newton almost upset the dope and
the Bethel eleven held the Wheat
shockers to a scoreless tie during the
first three periods, the only score of
the game coming in the last quarter.
The two Kansas teams that invaded
foreign territory Friday were handled
rather roughly by their opponents.
Kansas Wesleyan was defeated by Ne
braska Wesleyan at Lincoln, 81 to 0
and Warrensburg trimmed the Has
keu Indians, 6 to O.

CAPTAIN BLACK OF YALE
is AS BROAD AS HE'S LONG

Captain Black, of Yale, is an odd
looking sight on a football field.
His legs are short-and fat His
torso is short-and fatter He
seems to roll as he runs and looms
on the field as the original roiy-
poly.
Jess Willard, who is six feet six
inches tall, weighed PAT pounds
for the johnson fight. And Jess
looked quite ''meaty." Black, on
the other hand, weighs 215 pounds
and is about ten inches shorter than
is Jess. So you can imagine how
Black sizes up.
But Black is a whale of a guard
probably one of the very best in
the country. His poundage isn't
fat-it's muscle. as most of his foe
men come to learn.
