INSIDE GRIDIROn TIPS
BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.
Manager Important Man.

The manager of a high school foot
ball team is usually not at all equal
to his position. If possible, he should
be selected after some sort of COM
petition instead of just being chosen
because he is popular. At Harvard.
in fact, at most of the colleges. the
competition. At Harvard 100 men go
out for freshman manager every year.
These men are put thru strict course
of training. The squad is reduced time
and time again and it takes the best
that is in a man to stick in the COM
petition. In the sophomore year. the
managers compete for the position of
assistant manager, which position the
winner will hold in his junior year and
then be manager in his senior year.
The benefits from this course of train
ing are so great that it has been ad-
vocated by many that credit should
be given towards the college degree
for it
OF course, it is not possible in high
school to go thru such a training as
this, but it seems to me that some
way should be devised 10 train the
fellows for the position. Some sort
of competition should be made UP I'M
der which the fellows have to work
hard and to make some sacrifices be-
fore they are given the position as as
S1Stant manager.
The manager should be on the Job
every minute. He should be constant
ly looking for something to do and
must be worker all the time. Most
schoolboy managers take the position
as job ard outside of a little work
on trips they do practically nothing.
There are great many things the
manager can help to do. He can
help to look after the equipment of
tho players; he can look after the
water on the field; he can see that
| the footballs arc in good order; he
| can look up men who have been abb
sent from practice; he can take the
weights of the players; he can act as
an official in the practice sessions; he
can help the captain to look after the
studies of the men-in fact, there are
hundreds of ways in which the man
| ayers can be of service if they will
put develop some sense of initiative
| Usually manager has to be told
! everything he does. (Copyrieht

TO SURPRISE K. u.
Kennedy Plans to Spring New
Stunt on JayhaWkers.
Captain Stewards Men Out to
Vindicate Themselves Now.

Undaunted by their defeat at the
hands of the Emporia Normals and
their loss of the Kansas conference
title, the Ichabods were out in suits
on Washburn field today working out
the soreness and getting ready for the
big clash with K. U. next Saturday.
Captain Stewart and his men feel
that it was a hard blow to go down
to defeat before the State Teachers,
and Coach Kennedy feels it more so
because it is the first time a team of
his was ever defeated by them. but
the result of Fridays game was not
unexpected, and now the men feel
that they will have a chance to vindi-
cate themselves by making a good
showing against the Jayhawkers. And
this they are determined to do.
Spring Surprise?
1t is being rumored around the
Washburn campus that Doctor Ken
nedy, one of the veteran coaches of
the state and one of the pioneers of
the game in the west, is planning to
pull the surprise of the season next
Saturday. Just what he has in mind.
the rumor does not diyulge, but those
who know him best freely admit he
is capable of just such a stunt, and
say that they would not be surprised
never before been seen in football
game.
Altho it was not a new stunt, the
short kick that his team pulled on
the Normals at the beginning of the
game at Emporia took them COM
pletely off their guard and caught
them in flatfooted state of unpre-
paredness.
No Bad Injuries.
None of the Washburn players were
seriously injured in the Emporia
game, and they are expected to reach
their highest point of efficiency by
next aSturday. They are now so well
grounded in the rudiments of the
game that they can be given some
thing more than straight football, the
coach says and this indicates that
there is something to the surprise
rumor"
The Washburn athletic management
is making preparations for handling
the largest crowds that has been on
the field in years next Saturday Spe-
cial box seats are being installed, the
bleachers are being repaired and add
ed to and the advance ticket sale will
begin the first of the week.

HARD WORK WAS SECRET
OF RADBOURNE'S SUCCESS

Frank Bancroft delights to tell
how Charley Radbourne, probably
the best pitcher in baseball his
tory, used to go out in the morn
ings to the ball park and practice
for hours at securing perfect con-
troll. Radbourne would put a bot
tie on a. post and try to knock it
off with curve ball. He would
take a boy along to throw back
the balls to him and work by him.
self while the other pitchers were
slum bering or sitting around the
hotel playing cards. Radbourne
used to win games after his arm
began to go back on him with moth
ing but a slow curve, because he
knew exactly where every ball was
going to go.

SETS SCORING RECORD
ST. Marys Defeats Wesleyan 65 to o;
Southwestern Does Come Back"

The largest score that has been
made in a Kansas conference game
this season was hung up by st. Marys
when the Catholics defeated Kansas
Wesleyan, 5 to 0, in their game Fri
day afternoon.
One of the big surprises of the Fri
day booking in the state was the 20 to
10 victory of Southwestern over the
strong Baker university team. The
Moundbuilders came from behind in
the final period and snatched the ba-
con out of the flames in a spectacular
manner.
Haskell, as was expected, defeated
Friends at Wichita, the score being 10
to 3. Coach Schabinger's Ottawa elev-
en- staged a comeback and won from
the College of Emporia, L 6 to Z. Mid
land college continued to remain in
the win column by defeating Bellevue
10 to Z.

"JICK" FAST IN GAME
Kansas Hoped to Turn the Tables on
Oklahoma Sooners Today.

ment that "Jick'' Fast, who has been
on the Kansas hospital list since the
Ames game, in all probability would
be in the Kansas backfield today when
the eleven of the University of Kansas
meets the team of the University OF
Oklahoma on McCook field, brought a
giimmer of hope to the hearts of Kan
sas football fans that the Jayhawkers,
injured as they were, might take the
neas sure of Bonnie Owens Sooners.
Fast is believed by the Oklahomans
to be the most dangerous man on the
Kansas squad. He was inserted in
the game with them last year in the
last five minutes of play. The Soon
ers were victorious in that game 23
to IA.

BALL PLAYERS TOO RICH
FOR GOOD OF THE GAME

Ed Barrow, president of the In
ternational league, in speaking of
the decline of interest in baseball.
which is a debatable q, -stion, de-
clares that interest in the game
could be greatly revived by requir-
ing the visiting players to travel to
the park via buses and fully
dressed in their uniforms. He de-
p1ores the many auton biles and
the large bank accounts that play
ers have NOWADAYS, and attributes
much of the lack of interest in
baseball to too much of these wo
things.

PAPER DOLLS.

"a little Girl named Milly," said
Daddy, was very fond of Paper Dolls.
She had great many and they had
beautiful Paper Clothes for all kinds of
times. They had Clothes for Shopping,
Clothes for Parties, Clothes for Win
ter, and even Swimming Suits for Bath
ing. Milly used to enjoy Playing with
her Paper Dolls more than anything
else.
"And she would Play the most mar
velous Games with them. One would
give Reception and the others would
wear their best Clothes and come. Then
if it was a hot day Milly would pre-
tend that they were going Swimming
and dress them in their Bathing Suits.
On the cold days she would wrap
them up in their Winter Furs.
Now one day when she had had
three of her Dolls Year she thought
she would give them a Birthday Party.
She dressed them up in their best
Clothes and made them stand in a row
along the Wall of her Nursery.
Then she decorated the Corner of
the Room where they were with Paper
Flowers. She had some Red and Pink
and Lavender Flowers and they looked
quite funny all arranged together She
also had long Chains of Paper Carna-
tons. After she had arranged the
Flowers she got out small Table and
several little Chairs. She had a nice

Grape juice is a mild, humane bev-
erage which can be drank in large
moist quantities without upsetting the
equilibrium of the drinkee. 1t is highly
recommended by the clergy, who find
that they can drink freely of grape juice
just before ascending the pulpit without
affecting the length or lucidity of their
discourse.
Grape juice is made chiefly in west
ern New York, where the Concord grape
rears its shy head every fall and runs
into the early frost with open arms
Grape culture is one of the most
exciting pastimes known to the Ameri-
can people, as it is subject to frost at

PRcGREssIvEs AND WOMEN.

The New York Times, after an ex-
haustive study and investigation of the
recent election, reaches the conclusion
that two classes of voters, and two
only. accomplished the result. They
were not the Gcrman-Americans the
labor vote. or any of the groups stand
ing for special interests. They were
the Progressives and the women.
The split made in the Republican
party in 1910, which became a break in
1912, was not mended at Chicago. The

to the Mississippi the boilers of 1912
were largely satisfied with Hughes, but

aries, especially to the West, they were
not. And it was the West that decided
the election.
In New York and Illinois the breach
was apparently healed; there is no sign
Of anything to the contrary, and the
same thing seems true of the states that
generally follow the leadership of these
two. That, however, was as far a,
