HARVARD WONT
 NAME CAPTAIN
 FOR WEEKS YET

Varsity football in the East will not get under way in all the colleges until next Monday. Yale will be one of the last com mbinations to swing in- to line, the Ellis having waited a fort night for the beginning of their train ing because of an understanding that none of the Big Three would com mence till then.
 Harvard is already on it's second weeks grind at Soldiers Field and will have a clean start Of two weeks on Yale. While Harvard was a party to the ante-war agretment which called for the opening of fall train ing at a later date than usual it is the Cambridge authorities intcrpre- tation that such an agreement was effective during the war period only.
 Football is slated for red letter season this year. When the war i~-oke out more than two years ago and shattered the personnel of every col lege team in the country, it was figur- ed that few of the old timers would ever return to college. But the ten dcncy to come back To take up study and athletics where they left before the war is pra cticalIy universal in the universities and colleges this fall, and the percentage of veterans who are now in college ranks is as great as it would be in any normal season.
 Yale looks 10 be the most fortunate of all the big teams in the East with it's half dozen of tried footballers coming back. Harvard is close on the heels of Yale, although the Crimson line is apparently more shattered than the first defenses at Yale.
 Princeton will have to begin build ing up its team from a rather in considerable nucleus of former play CTS, and on paper, at lo-@t, the Tigers are the least well off of the Biz Three.
 Captaincy talk is keeping the Har- ward players busy now. The best in formation is that a leader for the eleven will not be selected until the start of the playing season.
 Eddie Casey leads the fiefT in the Crimson entries for captaincy- Casey distinguished himself in his single year of varsity football and gained a. reputation as great and deserved as either Brickley or Mahan got in their first year of varsity playing. The Natick young man looks to have q fairly clean field to himself Billy Murray, the quarterback, is also eli- gibIe for the C-ptaincy; and has sup porters for the job among the play CTS; but Murray believes his fellow townsman, Casey, is more worthy of the honor than he and he refuses to stand as O candidate for the teams leadership Ralph Horween, the kick CT and fullback, is also in the run ming

 This Is the prayer that the Rev. Frederick N. NTcNIiIIiu, pastor of the Walnut Hills Presbyterian church, has written and he asked today that all the fans in this city use it in prayer for the success Of the Reds in the worlds series.
 Whether the Lord will frown on a prayer for hiTl to aid in de- ceptiOn the Rev. McAIilIin doesn't know and doesn't care; he is a hot Cincinnati supporter and only wants to do everything he can to make the Reds win.
 The minister was third baseman for the University of Wooster nine back in 1894 and occasionally practices with the Reds.

STORY OF WOMAN'S CLUB
Topeka's Famous Organization as
Seen by a Charter Member.
CHAPTER I.


From time to time, that it may not
be forgotten by one generation, and
unknown to another, this story of
THE Woman's Club of Topeka" will
be set down. To go back to the begin
ming of things (1S94) there were few
clubs in Topeka. The Friends in Coun-
Gil was only nominally alive; The Oc-
cidentals were flourshing within their
own circle; the Chaldeans, the Ladies'
Shakespeare club, The Cosmos, The
Golden Rule. The Ladies' Music club,
The w. I. K, The American History.
later the Vignette, and maybe most
progressive of all. The Atlanteans,
were all well established. The West
ern Sorosis had only just begun its
existence. These organizations repre-
scented about $50 women, but among
there there was little personal ac-
quaintance, and no unanimity of in
terests.
The first step toward unity was
made by the Atlanteans. One March
day in "a they invited a large COM
pany of women to the home of Mrs.
G. j. Brown to listen to their guest,
Mrs. Laura e. Scammon, read a paper
on "Madonnas," or The Christ In
Art" I shall never forget that after
noon I sat in the hall just out of
sight of the reader, to whom, as Bill
Nye would have said, 81 listened with
one ear, and thought unutterable
was mostly Greek to me. 1 am safe
on Madonnas now, but the knowledge
didn't have of them then was vol
luminous. What I thought of was of
the privilege that such gatherings can
bestow; of the opportunity for I'M
guessed talent to be developed; and of
the help and inspiration the occasion
had furnished. I went home uplifted,
not only with what 1 had heard but
with what 1 had felt. Something in
the spirit of the hostess club suggested
what unselfish hospitality may mean
to community.
The next month, April, the same
club invited a larger number of wom-
en- to old Library hall, where Mrs
Scammon was the guest of honor. Her
theme was The Value of Federation"
These meetings were the entering
wedges. During the next twelve
months many new clubs were formed.
A third time the Atlanteans recog-
nized the other organizations of the
/
