NEBRASKA PICKED TO
HEAD VALLEY ELEVENS
Meeting Saturday With Jay
hawkers Expected to Be
Championship Contest.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 14.-With
the gridiron race in the Missouri VAL
ley conference entering the last laps
two elevens-K Kansas and Nebraska
stand out prominently as the possible
holders of the conference title at the
seasons close on Thanksgiving day.
Nebraska, with only two games within
the circuit. has slightly the advantage
over the Lawrence eleven. Kansas,
however, has passed the danger line
with a victory over the Kansas Aggies,
the strongest early season contender,
and the Ames Aggies Just at the time
the lowans were showing real flash
of form.
In all probability the meeting be-
tween the Cornhuskers and the Jay
hawkers at Lawrence next Saturday
will be the conference championship
contest The Nebraska team will have
the advantage of experience gained
from struggles with Michigan and
Notre Dame, two widely differing
elevens, and among the strongest in
the country. Because Kansas has
played only teams within the confer
ence there is no basis for a comparison
of the strength of the two elevens upon
the scores against the same opponents
Kansas Has Real Power.
Followers Of the valley conference,
after viewing as luck" the Kansas
TO victory over Ames by means of
a long forward pass, We're forced to
give the strength of the Lawrence
eleven more consideration after their
victory over the Kansas Aggies by a
similar tally. Kansas again showed
its ability TO fight its way into the lead
in its lSto-6 win from oklahoma on
November g. An scoring in this game
was confined to the second period, the
Lawrence aggregation seemingly being
content to win without wasting energy
on superfluous scores.
Tho real hard luck tale of the valley
Is that of the Missouri eleven. Stand
ing the season with n veteran back
field, which was last year one OF the
fastest in the conference, the Columbia
representatives have met with defeat
after defeat just when a victory seemed
most imminent. Beginning with n 6-to-7
loss to the Kansas Aggies, the Tigers
have broken before the rushes of
Ames, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
Missouri Crippled.
The Missouri eleven has had hos
pital list unequaled by any team in
the valley. The veteran backfield was
crippled In the Ames game and after
the oklahoma game, Bass n tackle, and
Schroeder, an end, were both out for
the remainder OF the season with in
jured shoulders. The Tigers are point
ing towards Thanksgiving with the
hope OF being strong enough to defeat
Kansas. Greenwood, center of the
team, has been called TO an aviation
camp. leaving that position weak.
The probable rating of the confer
ence teams at the end Of the season, as
picked by critics, will look something
like this:
Nebraska, valley champions.
Kansas with possible tie with
Ames, for second place.
Kansas Aggies, Missouri. Washing
ton and Drake.

Twenty-Five tons of mail are being handled daily at the camp post office through the Christmas rush.
 Twenty experienced railway mail clerks have been added to the nor. nal staff of 40 post office clerks, and 20 men are doing mail work on the trucks and teams. Folks back home, and men there, who never wrote a postal before in their lives, are writ ing letters in book form now, with the result that Lieut.. John Keogh of. Norwalk Conn.,, camp postal agent, is working night and day. So far he has kept the mail moving and kept even with the board, and he also promises to have every bit of Christ mas mail delivered on that day, if it is addressed properly. The kinds and quantities of mail coming in daily are as follows Foodstuffs e-,Ji candy, 50 per cent; sweaters, wrist lets and clothing, 10 per cent; mag azines, 10 per cent. All who send mail or packages to a man in camp are warned to make clear what com pan and regiment and arm of the service the recipient belongs to, and also to address the article Camp Devens Post Office" not Aver, Mass"

THOUSANDS IN
 LOCAL PLANTS
 BUYING STAMPS

Hartford, Dec. 22-More than 40,- 900 employees of the various manu- featuring establishments of this state will receive thrift lamps and thrift cards from their employers before Christmas. This action on the part of the manufacturers has been taken in response to an appeal sent by Howell Cheney, state director of the National War Savings Committee. Recently Mr. Cheney sent out 8 re- quest asking those in charge of the various industrial concerns in Con- necticut to take suitable recognitioE of the new thrift movement by giving thrift stamps to their employees. The response to date has been highly gratifying to MT. Cheney, who ex- poets that within the next few weeks every one of the 0,000 factory em. pIoyes in the state will be the pos. sessor of a thrift card.
 In Bridgeport alone, more than 10000 industrial workers in the fac- tories have been given thrift stamps, and already a campaign of service and saving has started which prom ises to have beneficial effect on the rest of the state
 In South Manchester, the 4,000 em- ployes of Cheney Brothers have been presented with thrift stamps, and in New Haven the 2,700 workmen of Sergeant & Co. have also been given

 The girls were accompanied by Miss Eileen Finkle, a trained nurse, who saw to their welfare throughout the trip and quickly dressed the occa- sional small wounds when fingers caught in presses or were pricked by brass pins Miss Finkle and Mrs Elizabeth Chapman chaperoned the party. The girls put up at the Frank 1 lin Square House in Boston and took ] a special trolley car to and from their 1 work in Maiden each day.
 Benjamin Lewis and F. W. Walker, from the office staff of the American Chain company, accompanied the par ty and acted as production superin- tendents." The Bridgeport conting- ent simply took hold of the entire button shop each night and ran it to suit themselves. When the owners of the factory saw the way in which the Bridgeport girls tore into the pile of raw materials and made the Red Cross buttons heap up, they were as- founded.
 Six nights the Bridgeport girls worked and during that period turn ed out total of 100000 Red Cross buttons. If it were not for this sup. ply, the Red Cross membership drives | in Connecticut and New York would have been badly crippled. NO pins, no memberships" is the experience in such campaigns.
 Last night the party returned to Bridgeport on the 4:40 from Boston. At the station they were met by Chairman Lashar, who thanked them in behalf of himself and the Anleri- can Red Cross.
