PEN MONEY A WASTE
In 25 Years Prison Will Be Anticipated
Affair, Says e. w. Hoch.

Ex-Governor. E. W. Hoch, now a
member of the state board of admin
istration believes that any elaborate
expense put into penal institutions is
waste of money.
I'm twenty-five years." said Hoch,
"a penitentiary as a place of punish
ment will be an antiquated affair
People are coming more and more to
see the expediency of not simply con-
filming these people who commit
crimes but of teaching them to do bet
ter and the advantages of doing better
Many paroled y prisoners today are
proving the right way of wiping out
law breaking. The Woman's Indus
trial Farm is actually in operation on
small scale at Lansing. We must
have more room but the principle is
right and there are women today do
ing honest labor and the best of it is
that they learn to like it. They have
no locks and keys. They have only
one guard, who is more to keep them
from being molested than t. keen
them in. Most of them stay willingly.
The criminals of today are of a lower
class, but there is more help for them
in way. What they need is physical
development and clean healthy living
for while"

new SPORT PLAN HAS REAL TEAM!
Bearg Has Given Topeka High
School Fighting Eleven.
Locals OutcIassed Heavier OPP
pOnents at X. c., Kan.

Unless Washburn college wakes up
and makes a real stab at doing some
thing. the Topeka high school team,
coached by Elmer Bearg, former
Ichabod star, is going to hog all the
local limelight and have following
bigger than the college team has
boosted in several years.
This was the opinion expressed by a
local football fan following the high
schools 6 to 3 victory over the heavier
Kansas City, kan. highs Friday after
noon, and he explained his assertion
by saying that the local football bugs
are Just about like bugs everywhere
they like class whenever they can get
il and they follow a scrappy, winning
team much more naturally than one
that does not have the punch and that
is constantly making excuses for los
ing.
THAT the high school has one of the
most remarkable teams it has boosted
in many years was shown Friday when
the eleven played thru the whole game
without having been peDalized a single
inch Coach Bearg has taught his
men that it is not necessary to commit
fouls to win and his doctrine was put
to the test when the men humbled the
| Cattle Pen" lads despite the fact that
they were outweighed ten pounds to
the man.
First Game Foreign Victory.
This was the first game away from
home for the Topeka lads and the
fourth time this season they have met
opponents and convinced them of their
superiority. Not a single Topeka play
er was seriously injured and only two
substitutions were made during the
whole game.
The only thing that marred the
playing of the Topeka men was their
fumbling and this was partly due to
the fact that their opponents sought
81, Il -, - II
Time after time the lighter Topeka
lads marched down the field as tho
they were going for a touchdown, only
to lose the ball in the and 10 yard
zones.
With the exception of the third
quarter, the Topekans held the often
SiVe most of the time and were the
invaders. In the beginning of the
second half they did not play up to
their best and after a long pass the
Kansas Citians kicked a field goal
from the 15-yard line. 1t seemed that
this would be sufficient to win, but in
the final period the TopekanS came
back hard and with six minutes left
to play, Quarterback Lindel put the
game on ice when he made a 30-yard
run for the only touchdown of the
game.
The Stars of the Game.
Arthur Bonebrake, state golf cham
plOn, LlnueI, CdppS, Gus w imam,
Billings and barrow were the indi-
vidual stars of the game. Captain
Roach did the best work for the Kan
sas City team.
The Bears men will play their hard
est game of the season here next
week when they go against the OF
tawa high school. Ottawa last year
had a team that would have been a
good match for many college teams,
and it is said their slump this year
has not been noticed by any of their
opponents.

HE'S STILL FIGHTING
Condition of Bob Fitzsimmons I'm.
changed, Doctors Announce Today.

Chicago, Ill, Oct 2O.-Bob F'itz-
simmons was still in the ring early
today. The old warrior was continu-
ing his game fight against pneum onia,
and it was announced at Michael
Reese hospital that his condition is
unchanged
The remarkable vitality displayed
by the former heavyweight champion
has Ied to a faint hope that he may
be able to weather the attack until
the danger point is past.
Mrs Fitzsimmons, who was forced
to bed by physicians last night after
she had spent sixty hours almost con-
tinuously at her husbands bedside,
was still in a serious nervous condi-
ton today and it was feared she
might collapse utterly.

HE ACCOMMODATED BOYS
Now Manhattan Merchant Is In Trou-
bic With Government.

Junction City, Kan, Oct 2O.-Fred
Frank, manager of a Manhattan cloth
ing store, was arraigned before United
States Commissioner George w. Chase
on a technical charge of receiving gov
eminent property. He waived his pre-
liminary hearing and was bound over
to the federal district court. He fur
nished bonds of $1,000.
Frank, according to the federal au-
thorities, got into trouble thru an act
of accomm odation. A Manhattan ma
tionaI guard company received its
clothing some weeks ago and in the lot
of shirts were found a large number
of size II, too large for the Manhat-
tan guardsmen- A sergeant of the
company, seeking a way out Of the
trouble, effected a trade with Frank
for three dozen shirts of smaller size
The government shirts were then put
into the clothing store stock and sold
over the counter

Sport Wheezes

All Kansas football followers should
hope that Stiff Randels, the Aggie star,
will have no further trouble about his
eligibility, now that Coach Clevenger has
ton.
It not only means much to the Aggies
to have Randels remain in the line up,
but it means much to the football follow
ers of the state, Undoubtedly he is one
of the classiest performers the NJ. v.
grldiron today and in a lean year like
this the game needs every legitimate at
traction it can muster.
Having defeated Missouri. the Aggies
stand now a very potential entry in
the race for the NJ. v honors They have
only X. L. and Nebras ska to consider as
real opponents But with Randels out of
the game they would have a very doubtful
future ahead of them and their coaches
would have their seasons plans knocked
eockeyed, so to speak
Another indication that Iowa is comm e
three Iowa damsels led the roofing in the
Ames- Nebraska game. Seeing the gentle
sex roofing must have been an interesting
sight even if it didn't help the Corn Eaters
hold down the tHuskers..
1t was an "aIl home talent" backfield
that Coach Kennedy had to send against
the Jayhawkers in the game this afternoon
at Lawrence. Perry, Hope and McCord are
burn direct from the high school. McCord
i is the youngest of the trio, but he is a
promising little player and did some good
work for the freshmen last season.
w. o. Hamilton, manager of athletics
and basketball coach at X. u, does not
intend to let the NJ. V. basketball title get
away from him this year if human effort
can prevent it. He has already started

about the quality Of football the green

cause most of the teams have suffered
equally and are as EVENLY matched as they
were last year.
Football is great deal like baseball.
I The big. powerful teams draw the big
crowds and on the whole they play a more
scientifically perfect game. They display
more head work and are more physically
fit both football and baseball are great
/ sports because of the merits of the game
more than because Of the merits of the

between green noviees on a sand lot.
