Net profits Of the British American
Tobacco Company for the year ended
September 80, 1917, amounted to G3,-
1o5,oO2, compared with s2,733,36l in
the preceding year. Dividends paid
during the year amounted to 80 per
cent, the same as in 1916. The report
says that during the year the factories
of the company in England had been
largely employed in-~making supplies

possibility Of the war being prolonged,
the directors made arrangements for

Washburp won its scrimmage with
the Topeka high school football team
on the Blue field Friday afternoon
won it to o. But the score tells the
whole story of the game.
The IchabodS came on the field out
weighing the high school lads some
fifteen or twenty pounds to the man.
Washburn kicked off, and the game
settled Immediately into a display of
line plunging tactics on the part of
the youngsters. incidentally the
youngsters made the Washburn men
look quite sick of themselves-the
high school forwards tearing the, big
Washburn line men out of the way
stantial gains. All during the first
half of the game it was the same story
over and over-Washburn lacked the
ability to fight.

In the last half "Swede" LindeIl
playing good heady game at quarter
unlimbered a temper of sorts and a
vitriolic vocabulary. He used it to
such good purpose that the Ichabods
over for a touchdown. A forward
pass, Lindell to Crawford, turned the
trick for the only score of the game.
At every stage of the game the To-
peka nigh school boys led the way in
displaying the true football spirit-the
will and the willingness to fight to the
last ditch. They showed an astonish-
ing ability to get mad, and an abso-
lutte delight in going under the Wash
burn interference and linemen in
search of armfuls of legs. In short
the light Topeka high school gridiron
warriors displayed the spirit which
Washburn beef will have to acquire if
the Ichabods are to be of any serious
consideration in the 1918 Kansas con-
ference race.
Send Ichabods Over Dummies.
Captain Shaw, commander of the
Washburn unit of the student army
training corps, watched the game for
little time without saying very much.
During the second half he delivered
himself of the opinion that the Icha-
bods would haye to be taught how to
get mad and fight. From Captain
Shaw's remarks it seems certain that
he will take the Blue squad out for
a trip or so over what he calls the
"bayonet dummies" Captain Shaw
says that bayonet practice is one of
the finest things he knows of to instill
a fighting spirit in men.
