THEY LIKE EACH OTHER
Elks and Knights of Columbus Will
Play Again Tomorrow.

Hindenburg and Haig do not enjoy
fighting as much as the knights of
Columbus and the Elks baseball teams
and tomorrow afternoon these old
enemies will be found at it again at
Western League park. The excuse for
more arguments now is that the B. P.
o. Els and the Knights are battling
thru a game series for the city
championship and the official record
keeper announces the honors are even
to date. However, little excuse is
needed as these teams have been put
ting up as interesting baseball as some
local Western League games have
been and the fans are always anxious
to see them play.
Tommy Brennan, Knights mana
ger, announced today he will proba-
bly, pitch Seitz, altho he has Sipes and
Dougherty both ready to go to the
mound and says he is going to- give
Abbott some new stuff tomorrow. Alb
bolt does not say much about what
he will do but seems satisfied his
team will be more than feather in
the path. The game will probably
start little before o'clock to insure
its completion before darkness

OUTLOOK AT NEB.

DIR. Stewart, However, Says
Prospects Are Bright.

Lincoln, Neb.. Sept 29.-PerusaI of
the football schedule of the University
of Nebraska leaves little doubt that
the Cornhuskers have about as hard
a program this year as any team in
the United States No other schedule
it is pointed out provides for six games
of major caliber, with only. one
practice game"
The season starts with a game with
Nebraska Wesleyan University at Lin

classed as practice is always fairly

Iowa comes to Lincoln. October 1S-
and is followed by Notre Dame Uni
versity October 90 at Lincoln. and
the University of Michigan. at Ann
Arbor, October 27.
November is open. providing q
sort of recess in the heavy schedule
the last half of which starts November
10 with the University of Missouri ar
Lincoln. The University of Kansas
game at Lawrence. Kan. comes next
November II, and the season closes
with the Syracuse Nebraska game On
home grounds, November 90
This schedule provides for games
with all the schools which gave Ne
braska its hardest games last season
Kansas. Notre Dame and Iowa-and
in addition adds Syracuse. Michigan
and Missouri.
Prospects Are Bright.
Prospects of a winning team look
favorable in spite of the fact that fif-
teen letter men have been lost si9ce
last season and that scholastic bans
will keep several promising players
from last years freshman team eff

: I'VE will have a good team" said
Coach E. J. Stewart, formerly Of the
Oregon Aggies,-''but not the team we
would have had if ineligibility had
not slapped us so hard. The contests
should be close for while we have lost
lot of good material. the other

READY FOR GRIND
Kansas Football Teams Round
ing Into Shape Rapidly.
Many Coaches Have Accurate
Line on Their Material.

With the rapid approach of the date
when all football, elevens in the state
will have played their first game or
will have it at hand, the gridiron
mentors are beginning to narrow down
their training and are putting their
men through grinding scrimmages to
test them out and to prove the worth
of the machines they have been de-
veloping.
Reports from the various football
camps indicate that the week closing
today has been a strenuous one for all
football squads in the state. The
weather has been seasonabEe for foot
ball and there has been a chance to
try out the elevens on muddy fields.
Scrimmages with the freshman
squads have been frequent this week,
and as a result many of the squads
are carrying an injured list already.
Such injuries as have developed, how
ever. are of a minor character, and
are not expected to keep the men out
of the games scheduled for today and
next week.
More Get Into Action.
Six additional Kansas conference
elevens got into action this week. The
Kansas Wesleyans of Salina clashed
with the Wheatstackers of Paramount
lege eleven met the Quakers at
Friends university at Wichita, and the
Washburn Ichabods of Topeka trailed
to Atchison to test their strength with
the eleven of Midland college. This
was the second set of games for the
Kansas conference, the curtain raiser
of the season being staged by Cooper
college and Southwestern at Sterling,
the Moundbuilders of Winfield win
ming an easy victory, 38 to 7.
This afternoon four more teams of
the state are to be seen in action on
the gridiron, including two of consid-
cradle prominence, the Kansas AggieS
of Manhattan and the Haskell Indians
of Lawrence. The Aggie Wildcats are
clashing with the eleven of Baker uni
versity, Baldwin, at Manhattan, while
the Haskell Indians are testing out
Ottawa at Lawrence.
q. G. Clevenger, director of athletics
at the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, Manhattan, would make no pre-
dictions concerning today's game with
Baker, laconically asserting that cit
is too early to make any predictions. -
He added, however, that the backfield
is fully as fast but not so heavy as
that of last year while the line is
fair" He said he expected to give
all his men a tryout in this after
Moons game.
Ottawa Has Good Squad.
The ottawa eleven expected 10 pun
UP a stiff fight against the Indians.
1t was expected, however, that the
Haskell eleven would experience lit
tie difficulty in getting away with the
game.
Big preparations have been made
for the opening of the season at St
Marys this afternoon. The st. Mary
college eleven is staging a game with
Battery F, Twentieth United States
cavalry. The army eleven is said to
boast a formidable lineup and Coach
Steve O'Rourke expected a gruelling
combat
Dan Maloney is leading the St
Mary's eleven this afternoon. He was
chosen captain recently to fill the
shoes left vacant by Capt. George
Bannantine's enlistment in the artil-
lery at Fort Sill

HOW SPORTS HELP The
SOLDIERS OF UNCLE SAM

A good soldier must possess
strength and endurance He must
be able to make long marches, en-
dure hardships, and meet and over
come an enemy man. to man in
close fighting. American sports re-
ouire and develop these qualities.
one cannot fight his way thru to
the last minute of the last half on
the gridiron or the basketball
court. or run out hit in the last
of the ninth, without endurance.
One cannot break thru a line,
smash an interference, or wrest a
basketball from an adversary with
out strength. Learning to do these
things has brought bodily strength
to Young America--From the Oc-
tober American Boy.

Get Good START
Topeka Teams Win First
Games of the Season.
Highs Humble Perry-WaSh-
burn Defeats Midland.

Topeka made a good football start
Friday when the Washburn college
team defeated Midland college at
Atchison by the score of "a to and
the Topeka high school team defeated
Perry high school here 1S to T. Both
games were practice affairs but they
showed that the local teams have
some real material on hand and indi-
cate that both teams will have real
contenders in their respective fields.
In the game here at Western league
park the Perry team must have felt
that it was going up against an army
of Xerxes men for the locals had five
full teams on the field in uniform
and most of the fifty-five men were
given a chance to get into the fray.
However, the Perry lads put up d
stiff opposition and saw to it that the
Beals, Battery A star. refereed the
contest and he is authority for the
prediction that Coach Bearg will have
a hard team to beat when he gets his
men lined up and in their proper
places
Washburn Won Easily.
Washburn men who saw the con-
test at Atchison said the Ichabods
clearly eutclassed their opponents at
every stage of the game and that in
the latter periods they pulled some
real football on the Midlanders. The
opening period of the game, however,
was ragged and was marred by much
fumbling. touchdown by Chapman
and a field goal by. Logan gave the
Ichabcds their first scores in the open
ing period. Two more touchdowns
were added and then the Washburn
men took things easy, allowing their
opponents to play them to a stand
still in the third period The lineup:
