Kennedy Likes Indians.

Doctor Kennedy is very anxious to
nave the Indians and Ichabods re-
sumo football relations. He thinks
there is a strong possibility that Has
kell VIII eventually become a mem
Der of the Kansas conference and if
they do games with the Indian team
will be in great demand by confer
ence members. Haskell, he says,
would always send large crowds to
Topeka if there was an annual clash
between the two schools and he is in
favor of playing all the games here.
The outlook for material next sea-
son is no brighter. In fact it seems
/ to be getting gloomier with a number
of the players talking about going to
war. However, since the Missouri
Valley conference has modified it's
rules t. allow the pIaying of fresh1
men in certain schools it is believed
there will be n chance for the Icha-
bodS to put first year men into the
regular squad next fall. This is being
discussed and there will certainly be
an effort made to h ave the old rule
preventing the playing of freshmen
discarded.

PLAY. HAYS TEAM
IchabOds May Take on Cham
piOns Next Season.
Aggie Date Is Holding Up
Washburn Schedule.

When the Washburn college football
team will play the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college eleven next season is
one of the big problems that is con-
fronting Dr. A. r. Kennedy. Ichabod
athletic director. in ARA nging sched-
ule for 1918. and many games are not
being definitely booked until this is
settled.
According to the agreement made
last year. the Aggies have the privi-
Iege of playing Washburn again here
Thanksgiving day and Washburn
would be glad to stage another Turkey
game with them. However, under
war conditions as they now are, the
local authorities do not feel that they
can make anything like the attractive
guarantee they made for last season.
and for this reason there is some
doubt that Clevenger, Schults and
company will desire the date.
It has been rumored that the Ag-
gies contemplated offering Washburn
the opening date on their schedule,
and it IS believed Doctor Kennedy
would favorably consider this as he
does not see any chance to win from
tho Farmers SO long as the war takes
his players as fast as they are devel-
opCd and hei believes an early season
game would be a benefit to his men
even tho they might be defeated
even worse than they would later on.
He thinks the football they would
learn and the experience they would
get from going against the Aggies
early in the season would be of ma
terial value.

Meat Cutters

N. A. Hoffman, recording secretary
of Meat Cutters and Butcher Work
mems Union No. 634, is a delegate to
the Trades and Labor Assembly, rare
ly missing a meeting. Some of his
friends have discovered the true rea-
son for Hoffman's enthusiasm. It is
because of the presence in the As

erously invariably has words of praise
for the ladies in his reports to the
union.
Frank Shine was elected president
at the last meeting of No. 634. Frank
is a good talker, an excellent parlia-
mentarian, and is going to fill the Of

rounds of applause. Judging from the
universal approval given by the audi

families are strong advocates of re-

of announcing that "Theater night"

VISITING POSTAL EMPLOYEES
Local Unions Asked to IndOrse Bill
of Congressman Madden.

Subcommittee representing the
local associations of letter carriers
and postoffice clerks have been ap-
pointed to visit all labor organiza-
tions in Denver for the purpose of Sc
curing cooperation in passage of the
Madden bill in congress at the forth
coming session.
This bill seeks to standardize the
pay of postal employees and grants a
material and much-needed increase.
Carriers and clerks have not had a
salary increase during the past ten
years, and it requires an act of con-
gress to get it.
Local unions are requested to grant
these committees privilege of the floor
without unnecessary delay as they
want to cover the organizations as
speedily as possible. Members will
be invited to sign petitions to congress
urging passage of the Madden bill.
