Editor of the "Palisadian,"

Editor of the "Palisadian,"
Dear Sir:
The Triangle Club, of Palisade, has
taken the columns of our weekly
paper, the "Palisadian," as the best
means of reaching the people of Pail
SADIE with the following announce
ment.
The Triangle Club, since its or
ganization over year ago, has had
as its main object the erection OF a
clubhouse in Palisade. Previous to
the last three months the idea has
been more of dream, something
we should like to have but cannot
obtain, than an actual object to work
for. 1t was argued that we, a small
organization, composed of only the
young element of the town could not
do what older organizations and in
fiuential men had failed to accom-
plish after several attempts seemed
on the road to success. However,
this argument was quickly overruled
when we decided that clubhouse
could be built, not alone by the Iri-
angle Club, but with the assistance
of the older and more influential men
of the town.
Therefore a committee was ap-
pointed to find ways and means of
building clubhouse.
This committee has, since it's APP
pointment, been receiving sugges-
lions on this question from it's mem
bers and from several prominent
men of the town. 1t has called upon
and interviewed a few of the leading
business men and has obtained their
ideas upon the feasibility Of build
ing clubhouse and also upon means
of erecting one. We have been great
ly impressed by one fact on which
every one we have talked to has
agreed upon, namely, the great need
of Palisade, the one thing which the
town lacks is Town Hall or Club
house. 1t is agreed by all that moth
ing would do the town more good
than a clubhouse. We believe that
the "Palisadian's" editorial of a re-
cent date entitled "a Town Hall, y
expresses the attitude of the great
majority of Palisadians.
A great emergency of opinion as
to the actual plans of raising the
necessary funds for the project have
been expressed. A few of these
plans which we have at hand will be
published in next weeks issue of this
paper. n
Howe,sar thauaaaavuaiit tssa g. Il
at the present time we not VI
possession of enough plahX There
fore we are taking this means of in
viting anyone interested in the adj
vancement of this town to write us
an outline of their ideas upon the
subject If you do not care to take
the time to write us, just drop one of
the committee a postal and we will
call on you at the earliest possible
moment. We trust that this appeal
to the towns people will be answered
by many letters. We would be glad
to answer any questions upon the
subject.
Weekly articles will appear in the
"Palisadian" stating the progress we
have made and discussing the subject.

The Clubhouse Committee.

INSIDE GRInlRnN TIPS
BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.
Catching Punts,

The average spectator does not real
ize how difficult it is to catch punts
in the big games, especially when a
man like Mahan or FELTON, is kicking
The ends are always down waiting for
the man to catch the ball and expect
ing him always to drop it, The psy-
Geological effect of a muffed punt
often turns the game one way or the
other. In my first game against Yale
there was a muffed punt by Wheeler,
which, gave us our first touchdown
and the necessary confidence to make
some more punts After that first
muff, nobody in the Yale backfield
could seem to catch the ball at all.
In last years Yale-Princeton game
muffed punt gave PIE" Way his
chance to make the long run which
gave Yale a touchdown. In last years
Harvard game, a muffed punt by
Bingham gave Harte chance to score
Harvard's first touchdown and, more
important still, it seemed to take all
the fight out of the Yale team.
Good ends nowadays are coached to
expect every ball punted to be
dropped. Acting on this principle,
Sam" White of Princeton won two
games for his college against Harvard
Harvard's chances of a champion
ship team this year will depend great
ly on her kickers- For the last four
years, HaughtOn has had big kickers
in Mahan, FELTON, and Hardwick. This
year there seems to be nobody in
sight who is in the same class with
these men, and it will be necessary to
develop some good men to take their
place is Haughton is to keep up Har-
wards reputation in the kicking de-
partment of the game. Yale has a
wonderful punter in LIE Gore. Prince
ton has two good punters in briggs
and Tibbott. Harvard must develop
some man or men to offset these kick
ers if she hopes to cope with Yale and
Princeton in this phase of the game

BALD EAGLE FAILS
Isbell Gives Up Effort to Keep
Wichita on Map.
Peerless Princess VIII Have No
w. L. Club Next Year.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 1S.-From the
outlook at present Wichita will be
without organized baseball during the
1917 season and perhaps longer, Frank
Isbell has returned to Des MoineS,
having been unable to reach salts
factory arrangement with the former
owners of the Wichita franchise for
the purchase or the use of the park.
The directors offered IsbeH Island
Park and the lease for $4,000. Isbell
offered to pay the directors $3.50 a
year for the use of the park.
Isbell would consider a deal that
would call for but a part of the pay
ment on the purchase price but the di-
rectors were in favor of a cash consid-
Grafton only. Isbell had planned to sell
his holdings in the Des Moines base
ball team but the sale called for but a
part payment if it was completed.
Here is the way the baseball situa
ton stands in Wichita:
The former owners of the Wichita
Baseball club hold Island Park and
the lease.
Frank Isbell holds a 9O-day option
on the Wichita franchise. They can't
agree on terms by which the baseball
club would be returned to Wichita.
Hold Territory Open
If the same condition continues the
Western league will hold the Wichita
territory by paying protection fees to
the National associa ion and no organ
lied baseball club can be put in Wich-
ita. The Western league has paid for
the Wichita territory for the 1917 sea-
son.
According to reports here Topeka
will be without baseball in 1917. Saw
age is looking for a city in which to
place his team. 1t is possible that the
Western league will hold both Wichita
and Topeka as open territory and
operate during the 1917 season as a
six-club league.

Several things can be mentioned
that help to put the Ichabods in the
dopeless class. There is the recog-
nized ability of their coach to per-
form wonders. There are past records
bespattered and bespeckled with
glorious surprises and gloomy disap-
pointments. that prove them no re-
spectors of form charts. And there
are the possibilities that come with
the Transforming of green men into
creased cogs of a perfect running ma
chine in a weeks time. But most OF
all, there is that old never say die
fight that has been an Ichabodism for
years and that seems to grow stronger
with the years and even thrives ana
flourishes under clouds of gloom the
same as under sunlit skies
Look at This!
An example of this spirit may be IN
order. A conversational convention
was in session and the topic of the
Kansas conference title was being
discussed Everybody was awarding
the laurel and the emblem of honor to
the Emporia Normal and Friends uni
versity teams, with a few admitting
Baker university to an outside chance,
and then a Washburn man spoke up.
We'll, if you are figuring US en-
tirely out of it you are taking a great

deal for granted" the Ichabod said.
suppose We win all the rest of our
games, including the one with the EN-
poria Normal team, and suppose while
we are doing this Friends happens to
drop a game to Baker, Southwestern,
Cooper or Paramount, then where will
your championship be? You saw there
IS little chance for any of these
schools to defeat Friends Well, 1 am
not so sure about that. Paramount
has never failed to give the Quakers
run for their money because they are
battling for the supremacy of Wichita
and for the home town title when they
meet on Thanksgiving. And South
western, Baker and even Cooper have
proved that they can give a good &C
count of themselves. 1 tell you, if
you are counting Washburn out of it
already you are liable to have to do
some more counting before the final
totals are cast up
Can You Dope 1t?
Can you dope a proposition that is
backed by enthusiasts who argue this
way? Not any more than you can cal
culate how hard a mule can kick by
measuring the momentum of his tail
switch
The Ichabods believe in their colors
There is not a one of them but that
will tell you: I'VE are going to do
quite a bit of winning yet, and we are
going to show some of these favorites
up before the end of the season rolls
around
And this spirit is liable to work
wonders. 1t is liable to upset many
calculations between now and the Goth
of November. Not only are Kennedy's
men not dismayed or discouraged by
their defeat at the hands of Friends,
but the efficient scoring machine of
the Methodist Bakeries headed by
the blond locked 'Ducky" Grove, has
no terrors for Captain Stewart and his
men and they are preparing for Sat
urday's clash with confidence and de-
termination
Altho the Baker team has piled up
| SO points in its two conference clashes
to points by both opponents, the
Ichabods believe they will enter the
game on even terms, and this belief
makes it certain that they will not be
| defeated until after the game is play
ed. The old heads on the Kennedy
team remember that Baker won last
year by bare 10 points, aided and
abetted by questionable officiating
| and these old heads have the conf
dence and are instilling confidence into
the new men by telling them that they
cannot lose unless they play like dubs
and show the yellow bigger and broad
er than any Washburn team has ever
shown it
Looking Ahead, Too
II Winning from Baker Saturday is the
only thing that is being given serious
consideration just now, but looking
into the future, the Ichabods are
banking strong on making a clean
sweep of the games with Ottawa, En-
poria Normal. College of Emporia
and Paramount, and if they win these
games they VIII probably challenge
Friends to another clash, so confident
will they be that they are the class OF
the conference.
And, again it might be in order to
ask, how can you dope men who face
a file of formidable foes with this feel
ing of confidence and assurance? How
can you? Well, the only answer is, il
can't be did.

club, held Tuesday afternoon, Art
| Springer carried off the honors of the
/ day by breaking 4S out OF a possible

RAINS OFF FORM.
Palace Bowling Team Wins
Again in the Stag League.
Crook Carries Off All the Indi-
yidual HOn0rs of Evening.

With the aid of a 77-pin handicap,
the Palace bowling team in the Stag
City league defeated the L. c. RAINS
three straight games in their weekly
meeting and heightened their lead on
all opponents making it five straigh
wins with no defeats in the standing
table.
Crook, of the Palace, made the high
individual score of the evening and
also the high average score. His best
score was on the third sheet of the
evening when he struck and spared
his way to a grand total of 224.
Crooks average for the evening was
IT'S. All of the Rain players were off
fo1m and played below their averages.
Had the teams been playing with
out the handicap, the RAINS would
have two out of the three games, but
all teams will have to play under the
handicap system and in the long run
1t evens up and puts all on a more
equitable basis. Next Friday night the
Felix and Pelletiers teams meet. The
scores and averages Of Tuesday night S
games follow:
