WHO is TRAITOR?
EmpOria Knew Every Play
Topeka High School Had.
Despite Tie Score, Locals Hold
Championship Badge.

Nothing to nothing football games
between teams representing Topeka
and Emporia seem to be becoming the
regular thing. Last Saturday Wash
burn and the Emporia Normal teams
played to tie here and Wednes-
day afternoon the Topeka and En-
pOria high school elevens repeated the
scoreless performance on the Emporia
field. The only chance now for To-
peka to show her supremacy over the
William Allen White town is for
WaShburn to triumph over the Col
lege of EmpOria on November p, and
the Ichabods believe they will be able
to do this
From reports the high school lads
brought back to the city, Wednes-
days game at Emporia must have
been everything that war can be, top
age and trickery of the trenches.
Game Hard Fought.
The game itself was a fierce, clean
battle, so far as the playing went,
and the honors were about even, but
the local men know that there had
been espionage and believe there must
have been treachery as the Empor-
ians knew every signal they called
from the first play and were so thoroly
drilled that they repeated these signals
and never failed to know where the
ball was going before it was snapped.
They even knew the signals on the
new tricy plays and the only way the
Topekans were able to do anything
at all was to call signals in the regu-
lar way in a loud voice and then
whisper a change.
In the first period of the game the
Emporians held the advantage and
kept Bearg's men on the defensive.
but from the first rest on to the fin

peka and the play was almost entire

the Emporians ever got to a touch
down was the 25-yard line. Topeka,
on the other hand, got to the 15-yard
line once and to the 50-yard line sew
eraI times, but was never able to
count. Four field goals were attempt
ed, but the closest one hit the goal
post and dropped on the outside.
Many Substitutions.
Both teams were badly battered up
by hard tackling and substitutions
were frequent. The Topekans used
eighteen men. Ed Foster. at tackle.
F. Porter at half, and Beal. Lindel
and Billings played the best game for
the locals. Billings was punting in
his best form and his kicks averaged
about forty yards, which is a good
average for a college kicker.
Altho they will not have as clean a
title as they would have had with a
victory, the Topekans still believe they
will have the edge on the state honors
yet if they are able to defeat Manhat-
tan Thanksgiving, Manhattan having
defeated Emporia early in the season.
Bearg's men will play three more
games, their next contest being with
St. Joe Saturday week. The second
team that was to have played Le-
compton this week will not get into
action until next week, it was an

CLAY COUNTY WINNER
Dickinson Co. Team Defeated by One
Point in Hard Game.

Chapman, Kan, Nov. S.-The Clay
county high school football team de-
feated the Dickinson county team here
Wednesday afternoon by the score of
to and thereby blasted all hopes
of a championship that the Dickinson
county lads have harbored. The Clay
county eleven held the advantage
thruout and the one touchdown of
their opponents came as the result of
a tumble.
Clay county defeated Manhattan %

Washington and other strong teams.
This is the first time the team has

TWO STARS OUT
st. Mary's Looking for Hard
Game Here Saturday.
IchabOdS Hold Their Last
Workout Today.

Fearing that his men might be get
ting a little stale, G ach Kennedy of
Washburn gave his regulars lay-off
Wednesday night and turned the field
over to the scrubs and freshmen un-
der the direction of Judge Rad Lee
and Grip" Bulge, who has vOlun-
teered to help whip the freshmen
into shape and who has sharpened
one of his crutches to use on them if
they do not perform properly. To-
night the regulars will hold their last
hard practice before the st. Marys
game which will be played on Wash
burn field Saturday afternoon.
Both Doctor Kennedy and Captain
Logan are expecting the Catholics of
Coach O'ROurke to give the IchabOds
one of their hardest battles of the
season and they are freely predicting
that the contest will be more hotly
contested than was the game with the
Emporia Normals.
The officials for Saturdays game
have already been chosen. Hopes Of
Kansas City will umpire; Izzy Ander-
son is booked to reIeree and Nc
Creary of Oklahoma will be head
linesman. The game will mark the
resumption of athletic relations be-
tween the two schoo-s after a lapse
of three years.
Are Old Rivals
In the old days Washburn and St.
Mary's were bitter rivals and their
football arguments date back to the
early sport days of the state but for
some reason they parted ways three
years ago and were never able to come
to terms until this season. However,
now that they are friends again to
be enemies, the Catholics are anxious
Ii reverse the old order of things and
take the winning end to make up for
the many years they were the losers
and there is no doubt but that they
are coming Saturday with every ounce
of strength and every atom of energy
and determination they can muster
The only light that Doctor Dope
sheds on the battle Is CLEANED from
the comparative scores of the two
elevens in their games with Midland.
Washburn defeated Midland "a to 6
and St. Mary's beat the AtchisOn boys
by practically the same score. winning
10 to 0.
O'Rourkc's Stars Crippled.
However. a report from St. Marys
says that the splendid showing the
Ichabods made against the Emporia
normal team last Saturday has made
quite an impression on the Catholics
and that Coach O'Rourke is working
three hours day in bolstering up his
line. The followers of O'Rourke's
clan are willing to wager anything on
their faVorites if they feel that their
line will hold well enough to give the
speedy backfield a chance to get their
runs under way. AT Wednesdays
scrimmage Haskins. the St. Mary's
hard hitting fullback, severely
wrenched his weak knee and will
hardly appear in the game. This in
jury. coupled with the fact that Lane
is still nursing a game prop, serves
to cast a good deal of gloom around
the camp, as without these two back
field stars Coach O'KOurke will have
hard time making a respectable
showing against his rival.

MUST BLOCK GERMANS
TO SAVE NEW RUSSIA
Root Returns With Word That
Unless U. S. Acts Promptly
Country Is Lost.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-Russia,
newest of democracies. grows stronger
of heart and purpose daily and with
aid from the United States can be
depended upon to do her part in the
great war and emerge a powerful
state.
This was the message brought 10
President Wilson and Secretary Lans-
ing today by Elihu Root and his fell
low members of the American mis-
sion sent to Russia three months ago.
Unqualified encouragement from
the United States, moral and financial.
when necessary is absolutely essential
to keeping life in the new govern
ment, the commissioners agreed. a
separate peace with Germany OBJ
viously is the gravest fear. Left to
fight along with her present govern
ment in control, the president was
told, Russia will emerge triumphant
and strong, but If either by great
masses of troops or clever propaganda
Germany should accomplish the over
throw of the Kerensky government,
the outlook would be dark indeed.
Only one written report. 1t is under
stood. was submitted to Secretary
Lansing. 1t was not made public and
may not be. From high sources 1t is
known. however, that the commission
was agreed on virtually all essentials.
There may have been differences of
opinion as to the best method for OBJ
tanning results, but the opinion OF
present conditions and high hopes for
the future was unanimous.
None was stronger in his convic-
tion that there is the greatest hope
for Russia than Mr. Root himself.
