Aston. He was a grandson Of the
first John Jacob Aston, founder of the
Astor fortune. He was educated by
private tutors and received an LII. b.
degree from Columbia university in
1878. : He married Mary Dahlgren, of
Philadelphia, in 1878. In 1890 he sue
ceeded his. father as head of the Aston
family. Tnheriting a fortune estimated
the New York legislature from 1873
to 1881 and was minister to Italy
from 1882 to 1885.
From Italy. Aston went to London,
where he established a permanent
residence. This decision was, said to
escape newspaper publicity in the
United States. He became a natural
ized British subject in 1890. For some
time he sought to WELD political in
fluenee thru acquisition. of the Pau
Mali Gazette, which he purchased in
1898. He incurred the displeasure of
King Edward VII thru an alleged
slight to Admiral Milne.
In 1915, Aston was created a baron
by King George V and the following
year was made a viscount. presumably
because of his great donations for war
work. ~

NOTES Of THE CLASSIC

"Swede" Lindelrs fighting qualities
and his ability to instill that same
spirit. into his men were big factors
in the game Saturday. Lindelrs
work in the Kansas game will be sure
to count. much in his favor when the
time comes 10 select the mythical
ali-Kaisass eleven.
The fierce tackling of Wycoff saved
the game for the Blue on at least
one occasion. Bonborg had received
long pass and was streaking it for
the Washburn goal along the south
boundary when the big Washburn
fullback all but tore him in two 1t
was a flying tackle with a vengeance.
Both men were in the air when
shoulder smashed into leg.
Nettles broke up three of 'Lindeli' s
punts before they~were fairly in the
air Playing in front of the giant
Cossman the former Topeka high
| school player demonstrated the quail
ity which made him the choice of the
| Missouri Valley critics for place on
the mythical valley eleven in 1917.
In interference, running and in
tackling &he@ Washburn men showed
wonderful Improvement over the form
they displayed in the game at Ottawa.
A little more Improvement should
| cirrch. the Kansas title for them.
| One of the prettiest tackles of the
| game was made by "Pammy" Pal
matter, diminutive Blue half, in the
Hast quarter. Laslett had received a
| pass from Lonhorg and it looked as
1 tho he was away for a counter. Pal
1 matter seemed TO eat up space as he
tore after the speeding Jayhawk end
Lasiett was thrown hard when Pal
nlatrier ,l1ite him just above the shoe
strings.
There has been some comment by
] disgruntled fans that Kansas would
| have won the game If the time had
been two minutes longer. That is
! often the case with football games. II
| is a peculiar fact that the rules of the
| sport say a. game shall be just sixty
| minutes in length and any scores
| made at other tiroes shall not count
Washburn might have won the game
too. L.indells attempts at drop kicks
might not have gone wild, or the Blue
might have pushed 1T over for g
/ touchdown in the first quarter if tht
| Kansas line had not held. Incident
ally it will be mernbered that the
Blue line had already held once wher
| the danger was as serious as it wa:
at the close of the game. There is nj
j particular reason to believe that the
Kansas attack would have been any
| more effective, or the Washburn de
Tense any less staunch if the whistle
had not blown. The score shows tina
Washhurn played Kansas to a score
less tie. Both teams gave the bes
they had TO win aud the final coun
shows the real class of both squads.
