 Cam bridge, Mass, Sept. 23.-Chron- ologlcally at least Harvard will show the way in football this season. While it's leading rivals will be holding prac- tice scrimmages todal the Crimson will usher in the campaign of compe- tition in the stadium. with Colby as it's -opponet. It's rather early start for Harvard. but from all reports it needs it this year.
 As can be. gleaned from the sched- ule this is opening day of gridiron sea- son. The Harvard Colby contest is the The Harvard-Colby contest is the headliner of a rather strong pro- gram for the inaugural. Naturally the first clashes give promise of no startling developments, but a couple of the bigger teams may meet with sterner opposition than they bargain for.
 Colby, for one, is likely to prove a harder nut to crack than the Grim son expects. It will be remem bered that last year the Maine collegians gave Harvard a pretty stiff tussle and managed to get a touchdown, the count being 39 to 6. The Harvard lineup appears to be in rather unset tied condition, especially along the line. Leo Leary is having his troubles locating a pair of tackles to take the places of Gilman and Parson.
 New Haven, Sept. 23.-A twenty minute scrimmage against a strong second team resulted in two touch downs for the Yale varsity yesterday afternoon, Jacques and Stewart mak- ing the touchdowns. Stewart played right halfback on the varsity, having 1 been elevated to the first team be- cause of brilliant play during the past week, Hutchinson, Zenner and Gait, all varsity men, played with the scrub team to give it strength. but failed to make much impression on the varsity nhe, which was stronger yesterday than Tn several days Vorys played center for the first time this season. Tad' Jones, head coach, last even ing announced that Robert Theobald, a Junlor and promising player had been found guilty of breaking train ing rules and had been dropped from the squad.
 Lake MinneWaska, N. Y, Sept 23 Billy Moore, captain of the Tiger track team and intercollegiate sprint CT champion. was the stellar perform CT in the tussle between the varsity and scrubs yesterday afternoon. Moore made good use of his speed. On sev- eral occasions he carried the ball through an open field for gains of twenty and twenty-five yards. Moore also is developing into a drop kicker of ability. Yesterday morning he suc- ceeded in sending sixteen out of a possible twenty drop kicks over the bars from the thirty-yard mark
 Eberstadt, quarterback candidate who reported Thursday, had the best percentage He kicked eighteen out of possible twenty goals. The var sity experienced little difficulty with the scrubs eleven, several touchdowns being scored.

There never was any doubt Of Presi-

was possibility that some vice-presi-

FIND BODY OF BOY
Victim Of Johnson County Ira
gedy Apparently Killed
With a Stone.
HAVE NO CLUE TO IDENTITY
Negro Section Hand Discovers Corpse
In underbrush Near the Frisco
Railroad Tracks.

. The body of an unidentified boy,
about IA years old, was found the
other day in the underbrush along the
Frisco railroad tracks half a mile
north of South Park in Johnson county
by negro section hand.
Sheriff E. G. Carroll and Coroner P.
L. LathTop of Olathe, as well as the
police Of Kansas City, are convinced
that the boy was murdered, as there
were numerous indications Of des-
perate struggle. The right side of the
head was crushed in two places and
beneath the. chin there was a deep
thumb print, Coroner Lathrop said
the victim had probably been dead
several days.
A blood stained stone found near the
body revealed the weapon that had
been used by the murderer. The po-
lice have two theories concerning the
crime. One is that the boy was acci-
dentally struck by motorist, who
then got out of the car and and pound
ed the victim to death with a stone.
This theory, however, is made highly
improbable by the fact that the were
no bruises on the body. The other
theory is that the boy was killed by
his companions and the body secreted
in the underbrush.
The victim weighed about 100
pounds and was five feet and four
inches tall, with blue eyes and dark
hair. He wore q light blue shirt (Pur-
itan brand), neckband thirteen inches,
blue serge knee trousers and biue
overalls, no underclothing, black lace
oxfords and gray checked cap. On
the waistband of the trousers were the
initials ''W. M. E." while the laundry
mark on the shirt was "W. E." The
pockets contained nothing except
small wooden pipe and some cigarette
papers.
The body was removed to Olathe,
where it is held for idetification. So
far as the police are able to learn
there are no boys missing from horne
in Kansas City.

OIL FEVER SWEEPING STATE
Geological Students at University Get
Coed Summer Positions Making
Surveys for Promoters.

Oil booms over Kansas are pro- Id
ing good positions for numerous geo
logical students of the University Of
Kansas. Twenty students have OBJ
tanned summer positions to make geo.
logical surveys for oil over various
parts of the state.
According to Erasmus Haworth, pro-
fessor of geology, the "oil fever" is
sweeping the state, and has reached
as far northwest as Ottawa and Cloud
counties, where biologists have been
called to investigate the strata of that
country for oil possibilities. Prof. Ha-
worth estimates that at the present
time 100000 acres of Kansas land
are under lease of oil promoters and
a large proportion of this is far out
side of what this time last year was
considered oil territory.
