SOME ALIBI.
ONE FORM OF INTERVENTION
IN MEXICO.

Lexington. Ky, Herald, DEM
For three years and more there
has been wide divergence Of view
whether the United States should in
tervene in Mexico. Prest Taft
adopted the easy course of doing
nothing. transferring the problem
that arose through the revolution of
that storm-stricken country To his
successor. Prest Wilson, while
technically not Intervening. took the
most decisive form OF Intervention in
his unjustifable refusal to recognize
Huerta.
Since that mistake every form OF
outrage has been committed. every
phase of brutality exhibited, every
proof of a state of anarchy fur
nished. Yet still we question wheth-
er we should intervene. The murder
Of American men, the outrage OF
American women. the destruction of
American property has not as yet
forced us to reach conclusion.
1t is announced in the news coll
umns of the daily papers, however.
that there is a form Of Intervention
that has been determined upon by
private citizens which will meet the
approval of all Americans, whether
they be disciples Of the doctrine
preached by Wilson, exemplified by
Byran and made patent by Villa and
his bandits. or the doctrine preached
by Roosevelt
The method of Intervention that
has been determined upon is for
American physicians. armored in
silk and rubber. TO combat the cpl
demic Of typhus Of which there is
now reported TO be over a hundred
thousand cases. BY the methods
used in Seryia 10 combat the cpl
demic which devastated that strick-
en- land, American physicians and
nurses Will attempt to stop the raw
ages of this disease in Mexico.
OF the many forms OF Intervention
that have been advocated, and that
should long since have been put in
force. there is no one, whether he
be the most rampant advocate OF
militarism, or the most cOnsecrated
pacifcist. who must not approve an
Intervention OF physicians and
nurses TO combat this disease. 1t
would be well could we send to Mex
leo an army of physicians teachers,
social workers. to restore those peo-
pie 10 health and lead them To light
II were better that if through the
years we could bring them to a
standard Of civilization and self-re-
lance that would enable them 10
work out their own salvation.
However impossible this may be
at present. however. chimerical is
the hope that through such meth
DDS there is chance of redeeming
that country. the effOr: being made
and financed by private capital and
manned by private citizens must
commend itself 10 every one.

INSIDE GRIOIRON TIPS
when to- START PIaying.
BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.

There has been much discussion as
to what age a boy should start in to
play football. Personally, 1 think it
depends somewhat on. the size of the
boy, but I am not in favor of any boy
starting at too tender an age
1 started when was fourteen years
old. Nobody else on the same team
with me was under seventeen. but I
was big and heavy for my age. Had
to do it over again, l think l would
have waited until 1 was sixteen, at
least. The time a fellow wants to be
at his best is during his eligible years
at college, and too early start is apt
to make a man go stale the latter part
of his college career
AS 1 look back over my schoolooy
football days, the most striking recoi-
lection is of the crudcness OF the plays
and players contrasted with college
football. l can remember very Wen
that about al did in the offense was
to carry the ball. 1 would carry the
ball probably two-thirds of the time,
and the other third 1 would spend in
resting. New m college football every
man works three-thirds the time. III
it so happens that a man on the Of
Tense carries the ball one-third of the
time or one-half of the time. then the
rest of the time that he is not carry
ing the ball is used in interfering it.
Interference is seldom learned by a
back in high school, but it must be
learned if one is to be successful as
college back.-(Copyright, Wheeler

TITLE AT STAKE?
Washburn-Friends Game Big
One in Kansas Conference.
Championship May Be Decided
in TOmOrrOW'S Clash.

When the Quaker Friends, of Wich-
ita, and the Washburn Ichabods meet
in their first gridiron clash since 1912
at Island park in Wichita tomorrow
afternoon, it may be that the cham
pionship of the Kansas conference will
be settled.
The Ichaboos, under the direction
of the veteran coach, Kennedy, of K
U. and Haskell fame, are avowed can
didateS for the state hOnorS, while the
proteges of DR.. Banbury, since the re-
markable showing they made against
the Emporia Normals, have risen to a
favorite's place il the race.
DR.. Kennedy and his Ichabods will
leave tonight about 10 O'Clock for the
Peerless Princess. and nineteen blue
make the trip. Those who are to 60
are Captain Stewart, Trull, Calihan,
Heller, Bailey, Logan, Wilson, Cox.
Whitcomb. Dehn. Benton. Colvin.
Gosh, Champeny and Perry. Prac-
tically the same lineup will be used
against the Quakers as was used
against the Cooper team last Friday.
The r1ends' Lineup.
Altho the Friends lineup has not
been definitely announced, it is ex-
pected that the following front will
face the Ichabods at the kick off:
Pheneger. re; Parr, TT; Holman, rg;
Baird, c; Coppock, lg; Macy, 1t;
Brown, lie; CriSter, q; Simmons RI;
Wigs, fb; Pearson. III.
The showing made by both Friends
and Washburn in their games last Fri
day demonstrates that both teams are
making rapid strides in developing
real football machines. The Wash
burnites were expecting a victory over
Cooper, but few We're anticipating that
the score would be as big as it was
Friends came thru with a big kick at
the dope bucket by holding the
Normals to 8 to 1 8 tie, and the an
noUncement that no serious injuries
were received makes 1t certain that
the Wichita lads will be in shape to
give the Topekans a battle worthy of
their best steel.
The Title Dope.
Should Washburn win tomorrow's
contest, the only big problem the
Ichabods will have on their hands will
be the facing of the Emporia NormaIs.
and they will have to lick them to earn
a clear title to the championship,
while if the Friends team wins it will
be in a fair way to get thru the season
without defeat
However, the Ichabods expect to
leave town with a big supply of con-
fidence in their baggage and they are
not anticipating defeat Monday night

The Final Score of Second
Clash Was ? to 1.

Boston, Mass. Oct 10-Bos-
toms Red Sox took the second gama
of the worlds series from the Brook
Ign Dodgers here Monday in
the longest and one of the most SEN
sationaI struggles of the historic title
tilt. For fourteen innings the teams
battled tooth and nail. In the stands
more than 41,000 men and women
alternately sat breathless expecting to
see the winning run go over any min
ute. or cheered themselves hoarse as
some wonderful play nipped rally.
BroOklyn'S only run was scored by
Myers On terrific circuit smash in
the first hiring. For Boston another
long distance smash counted for their
first run when Scott cracked triple
TO left in the third inning. Cutshaw
then made a costly bObble and Scott
came in on Ruth's infield out.
Darkness Threatened.
1t was growing dark when the issue
was finally settled after two hours
and forty-nine minutes of incessant
fighting. Hoblitzel went down to firsr
on a base on balls, his fourth of the
afternoon Lewis sacrificed him to
second and Boss Carrigan then show
ed rare strategy-at least it was sue
cessful-by sending in Gamer to pinch
hit for Gardner while the fleet footed
McNally went in to run for Hobby
The count was one and one on Gamer
and the crowd sat breathless waiting
for the turn.
Sherrod Smith, who had pitched

sent his fast one cutting thru the
gloom toward the plate. Gamer was
set for it. He swung his heavy club.
There was a crash. The ball sped over
Olson's head. Wheat came tearing in
and it seemed that he might reach it.
But it was a safe hit.
Exciting Moments.
McNally was tearing around third.
The crowd, yelling like mad,
Jumped to its feet. Wheat re-
covered the ball and made a
mighty heave toward the plate. Miller

Say, you" he remarked, what
would you do to me if 1 said this to

And then McGraw rolled off a few
names that can't be repeated in this

''McGraw," replied Tim, eff you ever
said that to me, I'd order you off the
field, and Immediately after the game
I'd hunt you up and beat you to a
pulp"
A week or so went by. Then Hurst
made a decision against the Giants
on a close play. Furious, McGraw
rushed at Hurst and began to upbraid
him. Hurst cautioned McGraw to be
careful about his remarks, cor out

And then McGraw Kissed at Hurst:
do you remember what 1 said to
you the other night? Remember :?
Well, I'm thinking all that about you
now. I'm thinking it-and just as
hard as I can. You know what 1 mean
but you can't do thing to me be-
cause l haven't said it to you on ball

And McGraw, grinning, walked
away.
