HIGHS TO CLASH
Topeka and Valley Falls Mix
at Washburn Tomorrow.
Game To Be q FrOIic of Fight,
According to DOpesters.
BY "wILYUM" WOLFE.

The fighting Topeka high school
football team-the one which made
Washburn college look considerably
like knitting school just week ago
today-is to clash with the Valley
Falls high school team on Washburn
field tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock.
Very little is known in Topeka con-
corning the ability of the Valley Falls
aggregation, tho rumor has it that
corn-bread eating fighters that will
make Topeka know the game is a real
contest and not a kidding match of
sorts.
Are a Fighting Gang.
The Topeka team is in fine shape
for the contest. Considering the fact
that Bonebrake and Captain Simpson
are the only veterans on the squad. the
team is putting up a fine exhibition
of early season teamwork in scrim-
images. One thing is certain tho about
this Topeka bunch of lads-they will
fight at the drop of a hat and from
the exhibition of spirit they put up in
the Washburn contest last week, they
seem to have no idea of when they
are licked.
It is thought by many football fans
of local prominence that the game to-
morrow afternoon will be on a par
with many OF the college games sched-
uled for Kansas conference colleges
this year
The probable lineup of the Topeka
high school team, as announced today
by Coach J. f. r. Barnes. is as fol-
lows: Bruces center; White and
C!.arlesworth, guards; Captain Snap
son and Parr. tackles; Sewers ard
Rogers, ends; Eller. quarter; Brew
ster. fullback; Bonebrake and Stani-
ford. halves; Anderson and Kinkel,
substitutes

OVER TOO TOS|T
ATPEACE TABLE
TWenty-Seven Countries to
Be Represented
j Soon After New Year.
AMERICANS ARE READY

PARIS, December 26-The person.
nel of the congress gradually is
taking form SO that the American
delegates express the hope that the
various countries delegates will be
announced and the delegates arrive
for the actual commencement of the
negotiations soon after the opening
of the new year.
\ number of the main details of the
composition of the congress are now
fairly well settled as a result of re-
cent conferences. These indicate
that the total membership of the
congress will be between 100 and 120.
Twenty seven countries will be rep
resented by delegations. including
her which have come into existence
as result of the war.
Five Delegates Is Limit.
The great powers notably Great
Britain. France. the United States
and Italy. each have allotted five
delegates. while the other dele
cations will vary from one to four
members. according 10 the size of the
country and the interests involved.
Word has been received that the
Belgium and Portuguese delegations
soon will join the representatives of
the United States, who thus far are
the only members of the peace con-
gresS to arrive. The non-arrival of
the others has been the subject of
considerable surprise and adverse
comment. the Americans taking the
ground that they are here ready to
proceed to business. but with the
personnel of the congress not yet
announced. 1t is understood that
president Wilson's visit to England
is likely to result in conveying quite
definitely the view that it is highly
desirable that the congress should be
put into motion with the least posi-
BILE delay.
Personnel of Few Delegations.
While the personnel of few deiega-
lions nave been announced. unofficial
advices indicate that most of them
will be formed substantially as fol-
lows:
