man OF proved ability and of ma
uonal reputation, His efficient work
as head of the department of agri-
culture in the early days of the col
lege is still rem embered and since he
left here in 1902 to accept an import
ant position with the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture he has been con-
stantly broadening in experience and
growing in reputation and capacity.
The fact that he is at the head of
the work in agriculture will add tre-
mendously to the prestige of the
state College, and his progressive
ness and dynamic energy is sure to
broaden and Increase the service of
the institution to the agricultural in
terests of the commonwealth. He
mas proved himself to be a born lead
er who brings to his work an enthus-
lasm which is contagious as we'll as
inspiring. President Holland and
the board Of regents are to be heart
lily congratulated upon having Sc
cured the services of such an able,
prominent and we'll equipped man.

Hats off to Coach Green for his
very successful work with the Pull
man high school football team.
Starting the season with but two vet
Grams and a squad of light, inexperi-
enced and disheartened recruits, he
built up a scoring machine which
won every game on the schedule by
good team work, speed grit and
clever plays. The achievement was
all the more notable because at no
time during the season did the boys
have strong second squad to give
them the requisite scrimmage prac-
tice. Despite these discouraging
conditions Mr.. Green turned out a
real team and proved himself a real
coach.

KIDNAP SALIVA MAN
Two Men Spirit Away Auto Dealer
Wanted to Rob Bank.

Salina. Kan, Dec. 13.-H. c. Simp-
son of the Simpson-Hoffman Motor
company of this city was kidnapped
Wednesday afternoon by two men, one
of whom gave the name of l.. I.
Brown of Los Angeles. Brown bought
a 7-passenger Chandler sedan, giving a
draft for S2700 on the First National
Bank of Los Angeles. which, it was
learned later, was no account In
the meantime Simpson started with
Brown to demonstrate the car, failing
to return. After telephoning all over
the county Simpson was found in
Junction City at $3.50 Wednesday
night.
He said over the telephone two men
were in the car: that they threw a
laprobe over him and drove for hours.
The men talked of robbing a bank
at some town, but arrived there after
the bank was closed. The robbery
failing, Brown left the car at Manhat-
tan and the other man left at Ogdens-
burg. Efforts are being made to ar
rest both men. Before leaving the
car they compelled Simpson to borrow
$50 at Manhattan. Simpson is one
of the wealthy young men of Salina
and had no trouble in getting the
money

round. Leonard weighed 1874 Ia

Each man landed hard jolts and
fought so hard in the exchanges as
to repeatedly bring the spectators to
their feet. Leonard showed more ring

ducked Clyne's terrific rushes.
Patsy drew first blood in the open

NO new GRIDIRON STUNTS
BROUGHT OUT THIS YEAR

Unless the football critics of the
country overlooked bet some
where, the season of 1917 de-
veloped nothing new in the way OF
gridiron strategy AT least, there
was no special mention made OF
new plays which could be stamped
as the vintage of 1917.
Many old-time plays, particu-
larly the criss-cross, were brought
out of the archives and used by
many teams. Penn used the play
against Cornell and also used
play in which forward pass was
developed out of the lateral pass
This play was particularly success
full against Cornell.
Jesse Harper, the Notre Dame
mentor, gave his backs set of
dancing signals which were dis
concerning to the Army, but the
Irish used mostly the plays which
have been used for the past two or
three years.

PUT CLUB HERE?
Western League May Try To
Come Back to Topeka.
Savage and Holland Would
Bring in Denver Team.

According to a news dispatch sent
out from Kansas City Wednesday
night, John Savage, former Topeka
Western league club owner, and Jack
Holland, present owner of the Hutch
inson franchise. are working on a
plan whereby they hope to put club
in Topeka next season.
The dispatch states that the plan is
to have the Denver team moved to
Topeka. thereby furnishing a home
for the Bears and at the same time
cutting out the long jumps that have
taken most of the profits the Western
league has made in the last few years
Just why Savage and Holland are
taking such an interest in the Denver
club when Holland himself is looking
for a place to take his Hutchinson
team is not apparent unless the move
is to have the league dehorn some of
its ambitions and be content with a
compact circuit that may not draw as
well but that will not be so expensive.
Keep Hutchinson In.
1t is to be presumed that Holland
and Savage contemplate keeping a
team in Hutchinson if Topeka can be
gotten back in the fold, and Holland
is said to have gone to Tulsa to put
the proposition before President Dick
erson who is now in the Oklahoma
town trying to get some oil magnates
behind a Western league club.
II Topeka is to get a Western league
cIuD again Inefe is no active owner
who could come into the city under
more favorable conditions than Hugh
Jones. One of the best sports in the
league, Jones has always made a good
impression upon local baseball fans as
well as the business men who came in
contact with him and he could un-
doubtedly get all the support there is
to be gotten.
Is Topeka Ripe?
Just whether or not Topeka is ripe
again for Western league baseball is
question many would refuse to an
swer now. Undoubtedly there are
many fans who are hungry for their
Sunday baseball and there are many
business men who would be glad to
have the city get the advertising a
| Western league club gives. A team
that would stay up in the race certain
| ly ought to draw crowds that would
lay, but with war demanding almost
daily donations to one cause and an
other it is very doubtful that base
| ball could get very much of a starting
| subscription and would have to come
in prepared to foot the bills that would
be incurred in bringing a club back
| here.
