Defeat Team From
Ames, IL to 0.
Houston Does Scoring With
Educated Toe.

Manhattan, Nov 25.-The Kansas
Agricultural college defeated. Ames
here Saturday afternoon, shutting out
the visiting eleven, in a desperately
fought battle from the first kickoff
until the final whistle was blown. The
score was II to 0.
With the Aggie lineup decimated
from last years great team. due to
the war and influenza ravages upon
the players present, Coach Clevenger
had whipped an excellent team into
form and threw it against the Iowa
Aggies Saturday with instructions to
the satisfaction of all concerned, es-
pecially the large crowd of gridiron
fans who lined the football field.
Ames Threatens.
The Kansas Aggies kicked off in the
first quarter, AmeS being forced to
punt on the third down. The Aggies
then took the ball down the field by
successive line smashes, carrying the
ball to within ten yards of the Ames
goal in three downs. At this point in
the contest, Hinterman, Ames left half,
recovered a tumble and made a spec
tacular dash down the field, but was
waylaid by an Aggie before he crossed
the line. AmeS was penaliZed twice
during the first quarter, each time for
y
back, also dropped a forward pass
that might have resulted in a score
for the visitors had he retained his
hold on it. The score was 2 to in
favor of the Aggies at end of the
quarter.
In the second frame the ball was in
Ames territory most of the time, the
Iowans putting up a desperate fight
to keep the Kansas boys from crossing
their line. They succeeded. but Hous-
ton, Aggie right guard, drop-kicked
from the forty-yard line.
Houston Does Kicking.
The third quarter was merely a
kicking duel between the two. teams,
with Houston, for the Aggies, and
Heater, Ames captain, welding the
boots. Houston added to the score
again by kicking two field goals. which
ended the scoring for the Aggies.
The fourth quarter was void of
spectacular features, except two COM
pleted forward passes by Ames, which
resulted in nothing but some good
gains.

TO EFFECT COAL SAVING
IN CHEAP ELECTRIC POWER
British Board Approves Scheme for
Supplying All Industries From
Super-Power Stations.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 21.-To effect a
saving in coal and its by-products
officially estimated at f100,000,000 a
year. the British ministry of recon-
struction has approved scheme for
supplying all the industries in Great
Britain with cheap electric power. gen.
Grated at big 'super-power stations"
not more than sixteen for the whole of
the country. The scheme Is one Of the
most ambitious that has yet been
worked out to enable the country to
recover from the economic losses OF
the war. Its details are given in re-
port from the coal conservation COM
mittee of the ministry of reconstruc-
ton.
The amount of coal used to produce
Industrial power In the United King
dom is about 10000, 900 tons yearly
The new project. 1t is claimed, would
enable the same amount OF power to be
produced with an expenditure of only
rs, ,0O0, 900 tons. and the 55.00O.000 tons
omy in mining, but also gigantic
economy in transport. The committee.
however. does not believe that the
change will mean the mining of less
enormously increase its amount Of in
dustrial horsepower. and the extent to
which this can be raised. 1t Is explained.
Is 10 one OF the main conditions neces-
sary for a general rise in national
standards of life.
The committees proposals rest on the
assumption that electricity is the most
economical and convenient form in
which to apply power to industry. and
that the only way to generate electrici-
ty cheaply is to generate it on a very
large scale. The report only antici-
pates what electrical specialists have
forsseen for years as the natural elec-
trical dvelopment in a country like

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. February 2-The house
and senate have become deadlocked al
most at the outset of the session Sew
eral years ago provision was made for
the revision Of the code. and that work
has been completed and handed to the

Of justice in each branch has been
charged with the duty of considering
and reporting the work of the revisers.
The volume comprises 2.177 pages, is
not indexed and there is no way Of tell
ing what changes have been made. and
the revisers admit that a great many
have been made.
The senate is for accepting the work
and making an investigation at leisure.
on which proposition the house has
balked good and solid and refuses to
bulge. This may mean that an extra
session will have to be called to dis
pose Of this subject. the cost of which
to the state will be not less than
$4,000. The senate is against an extra
session. Neither branch manifests the
least disposition to bulge from its po-

charge made against the bolshevik
regime in statement sent out by A. J..
Sack, director of the Russian informa-
ton bureau.
I'VE now possess documents, which
illustrate strikingly the extreme hy-
pocrisy with which the bolshevik
treated the constituent assembly until
the very last moment. when 1t became
evident that the majority Of the assem-
bly,, which means a majority OF tho
Russian people. was against them" the
statement says.
Safeguard for Elections.
The statement cites the first procla-
nation of the bolsheviki. issued Eovem-
Der 10, four days after the revolt, which
set the date for the elections to the
constituent assembly. and ordered that
every element safeguard the freedom
of voters at these elections.

tion of the congress of councils Of

They (the bolshevikD agreed that
the constituent assembly express the

bolsheviki can be expressed only by the
representatives of workingmen and sol

The party of socialists-revolutiont
is the recognized party of the Russian
peasantry. and it was natural that the
representatives Of this party should
form the majority in the constituent
assembly. Russia will not accept boil
shevik tyranny without a decisive fight
and the first round Of this internal
struggle will be between the bolsheviki
and the socialists-revolutionis
