ride Of Feet.


A recent ng of foot doctors
brought forth information that all
feet are divt ed into three classes,
namely, inflared, outflared and straight
the first two classes being scientific
divisions for the common Affections
known as pigeon-toes and bow-legs
One doctor said: "Shoes are proverb-
tally made to fit the eye and the pock-
etbook, but not the feet" The ordi-
nary classification of boots, shoes and
slippers does not fit with the inflared,
outfiared and straight classes Of feet,
stated the doctors, as was proved by
the fact that most manufacturers ride
In automobiles. To remedy the situa-
ton 1t Is proposed, says Popular Sci
ence Magazine, that all shoes conform
with the three general classes of feet.

More evidence is being furnished to show

winning glory for their school.
Another petition is being circulated by
players who were not awarded letters. ask
ing the athletic association to go over the
heads of Coach Kennedy and the athletic
board and grant them the marks of merit
they did not earn and do not deserve.
This is probably the. most fragrant dis
play of spineless poor sportsmanship ever
pulled by Kansas gridironists. And the
seek awards the best authorities think they
did not earn. probably accounts for the
poor showing the Ichabods have made dur
ing the last two years.
false badges is worthy to wear legitimate
ones. No football who places his
own estimate of his ability above that of
all others is good sportsman and no
man who is not a good sportsman can
make a good footballist. 1t takes the true
blue to stand the grind of the gridiron.
Unless the washburn student body sits
down on this the second effort that has
been made this winter to hold up the ath-
letic authorities for letters. then the stu
dent body can expect Washburn athletics
down in the mire.
In many schools such action on the part
of players not only would bar them from
any further participation in athletics but
IL WOULD make them so unpopular they
would probably find it more congenial to
leave school. In school of any standing
would such a petition be granted because
of the demoralizing effect it would pro-
duce.
As one athletic man expressed it: ..If
these men were to be given letters, all that
would be necessary next season to get a

end of the season every student could de-
mand letter and would be entitled to it,
This column knows that Dr. Kennedy
wrestled with the letter problem long be-
fore he decided what men should receive

Then after he had spent weeks over the

safe with fairness by granting one or two

than to take the risk of being unfair.
The action of the Washburn players is
in marked contrast with the action of a

WALNUT HAS OIL BOOM
Company Organized by w. S. Pate to
Sink Test Well.

w. S. Pate, superintendent of city
schools of Walnut, Crawford county,
has organized company of twenty
business men of the city into a devel-

secured a number OF oil and gas leases
in the vicinity of the Crawford coun-
ty town and next week work on the
drilling of the first well will be
started.
The company is prepared to go
down $500 feet. Biologists are of
the opinion that Crawford county is
underlaid with large fields of oil and
gas. Pate asserts that gas may be
discovered by sinking a well for water
in almost any place in the vicinity of
Walnut.
The company will apply soon for a
charter, Pate says.
