Kansas City, Dec. 2 - Ms. Mil
bred McDonough Stevens ran away
"a hours after her wedding and re-
turned three days later! Kansas
City is wondering why.
Mrs. Stevens is considered one Of
the most beautiful brides Kansas
City has seen in a long time. She had
two suitors, Earl Stevens, a bank
employee, and Herbert Gribble, Kan
sas university graduate and orches-
ira leader.

City. Her parents and husband went
in search for her. They looked up
Gribble, but he was hard at work in
his office.
For three days Stevens and Mrs.
McDOnough searched.
Then. Gribble entered Mrs. Nc
DonOugh's home and showed her
telegram from Mrs. Stevens to him.
She was coming home!
"She told me she learned too late
she had chosen the wrong man and
that she loved me better" the Tilted
sl1itor is said to have stated.

FRIENDS STRONG
Quakers Upset Dope by Playing
Normal to Tie.
Aggies and Haskell Won Their
Games With Ease.

Kansas conference football dope
was given an lawful sloshing' when
Friends university held the strong En-
poria Normal team to 3 to 10 tie,
and as a result of the wonderful show
ing the lighter Quakers made the
Washburn coach and team are consid-
erably worried as the Ichabocs are
scheduled to play Friends at Wichita
next Wednesday.
The big disturbing feature about the
game at Emporia Friday. is that, aitho
they were outweighed ten pounds to
the man, the Quakers made more
gains thru the line than the Teachers
and it was only by resortinS to open
play and forward passes that the Nor
mails were able to ward Off defeat.
The drop kicking of Crister, Friends
quarterback also played an important
part in the game, six of the thirteen
points being counted a result of his
toe work. The Normals made all of
their points by touch downs.
The other two big Kansas games
Friday ended very much as they were
doped to do. The Aggies defeated
Southwestern by the score of So to O.,
the K. S. A. c. men running over the
! Moundbuilders almost at will turnout
the contest. Haskell defeated Hays
Normal at Lawrence, a to Z, without
much exertion. The College of En-
poria defeated Paramount at Wichita,

test, an S0-yard run giving the EN-
porians victory.

coming when Perry went to fullback
and Stewart took Benton's place at
guard. Kicks were exchanged and
Stewart flipped q pass to Sargent for
twenty yards. Logan and ChaEpeny
made two successive first downs and
then Logan went over for the second
touchdown on a tackle swing. Stew

The Final Score.
The final score came in the early
play of the last period. McCosh in
tercepted forward pass and raced Is
yards with the bali before he was
downed. Stewart then made beauti-
full pass of 80 yards to Calihan and
Brick" raced over for the final
counter, Stewart kicking an easy goal.
After this both teams contented them
selves with kicking and few attempts
were made by either side to carry the
ball over. Towards the end of the
time a pass to Champeny for 81 yards
one to McCosh for 10 and a 7-yard
gain by Sullivan on a fake play put
the Ichabods close to another touch
down but time was up with the ball

duck waddle," a mode of locomo-
ton introduced to the Purdue foot
ball players last spring by Coach
Cleo O'Donnell. has been supplant-
ed by the "stork wade" as prac-
ticed by Huffine, one of the finds of
the season. Huffine has been try
ing out his new gait on the fresh
men, and so far they have been
unable to stop him, and it was a
freshman who gave the stride its
name.
Huffine had just finished wading,
stiff-leg and with feet wide apart
SO that both knees could not be en-
circled by the arms of the yearlings,
through the entire freshman eleven,
when a freshman, just getting up
from his efforts to tackle the
varsity player, remarked, HE runs
just like a stork," and since then
the gait has been dubbed the ''stork

HOW WORLD SERIES Is RUN
AND HOW SPOILS ARE SPLIT

The world series is for four out
of seven games. The national
commission has full charge of the
games. 1t collects all money from
the gate and divides it among play
ers, clubs and the national COM
mission.
Money from the first four games
is divided three ways-60 per cent
to the players, 10 per cent to the
commission and 80 per cent to the
club owners to be split evenly be-
tween the clubs. The so per cent
which goes 10 the players is cut
60 per cent to the winning team
and 40 per cent to the losing team.
After the first four games, all of
the money received with the excep-
ton of the commissions 10 per
cent goes to the club owners for a
fifty-fifty split. The players share
in only the first four games.
