EDDIE CASEY IS
 MUCH SOUGHT BY
 MOVIE CONCERNS

Los Angeles, Dec. 29.-The liar yard football team has been besieged by press agents since it stepped foot into the land of the movies. The publicity men for all the film stars are offering all inducements to mix their actorines and the, Harvard heroes in poses and press stories.
 The advent of the Crimson team has been one of the biggest events the press agents ever grappled with. Eddie Casey is a particular mark for the P. AS, and if Eddie were dis posed to fall for their wares, he would be co-starred with any of the swellest danes in filudorn.
 Jack Dempsey, who is also in Los Angeles Just now, being filmed for a movie serial, ranks a poor second to the Harvard outfit as an athletic et- traction.

MAKES MANY CHANGES
 FOR BIC CAME

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 29-The first Sunday workout in athletics in the
 history of Harvard sports was held
 by the Crimson football team on Tournament Field yesterday morn
 ing. Coach Bob Fisher had his squad
 of g dressed for play at 1O:3O o'clock,
 and kept them in action for two
 hours.
 Coaches Nfahan and Felton had Ralph Horween and Dick Humphrey
 bunting to the backs and ends Des-
 mond, Steele, Ryan and Phinney ran down under kicks. The sun was blist- ering, and took lot out of the men. Eddie Casey lost three pounds, drop ping to 152. while Fred Church and Captain Murray lost four each. The big Enemen shed their superfuous flesh to even a greater extent. Con solation was found in the prediction of the weather man that for the re- mainder of the week the temperature would be 10 degrees cooler. Dr. Paul Wilmington grilled the unemen, facing two teams opposite each other for a 15-minute drill. The backs took things more easily, and [ then Fisher sent two eIevens up and down the field in signal drill. The Harvard lineup for Thursdays game follows:
 Left end. Desmond; left tackle l Sedgwick; left guard. Woods; centre l Havemeyer; right guard, Hubbard. ] right tackle. Kane; right end, Steele, 1 quarter back, Capt. Murray; left halt l back, Arnold Horween; right half i beck, Casey; full back, Ralph Hor- ween.
 1 The transfer of A. Horween into the i position Humphrey played in the Yale
 game gives the backfeld a heavier 1 average of about six pounds a man. l Henry Faxon, substitute tackle, is
 working at centre. in case he is need l ed.
 1 Practice was secret. although ar l engagements were made for the news l paper men to attend. The Harvard
 mana cement has issued passes which allow accredited correspondents and
 photographers to attend all the
 practice sessions This attitude, which
 is directly opposite that observed by 1 Oregon, has created a fine feeling ! with the local newspaper men, who
 are inclined to criticise the lemon 1 garbed team on account of its lack of tact.
 Oregon practtced also yesterday
 morning, using the High school ! grounds The remainder of the day 1 they rested. As Trainer Hayward de- ] clares. they are already down to their ! best fighting weight and must not go
 stale. Douglas Fairbanks told the l Westerners that he was for them and i ''Babe'' Ruth prefers Oregon's ] chances so much that he will sit on 1 their side.
 Last night Coach Fisher called his Harvard aids about him. and a gen l or undertaken. Information reached the Harvard camp on more formations than were available when the eleven was at Cambridge. The Huntington
 team is using a quick shift, which is apt to puzzle Harvard at first, and most of the Oregon attacks are made from direct passes.

Burns of Giants Was
 Trouble to Pitchers

That George Burns of the Giants was one of the hardest men for Ma tionaI League slabsters to pitch to last season is brought out in the pitching records of the HeydIer cir cult. The valuable fielder played in 139 games and succeeded in workin= opposing hurIers for S2 bases on balls He led his rivals in that re spect by a wide margin. Morris Rath Of the Reds, was second Pat Ior- ans second baseman drew 62 passes in 139 contests. Besides showing wonderful judgment in looking 'em over while at bat, Burns was quick to swing at the deliveries that sailed over the plate and compiled a bat ting average Of .3O3. He is one O. the best outAelders in the National League.

EDDIE COLLINS DENIES HE WILL STAGE HOLDOUT ON
 WHITE S0X NEXT SEASON -- INFIELDER DECLARES HE WILL COME ID TERMS WIT TH0UT FUSS WHEN TIME COMES

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 29.--Captain Eddie Collins of the White Sox, un- like Babe Ruth of the Red Sox, has no idea of holding up the Chicago club, although his contract has expired. Eddie's five year contract with the Sox ran out after the close of the worlds series In the fall, but at his home in Lansdowne yesterday he said he did not expect to have any trouble coming to terms with Owner Comis- key when the time comes.
 Eddie, who is at his suburban home, said: 1T was never treated better in my life than by Consikey and feel 5ure that he will do the right thing
 y me again This year, when the season ended, totally unsolicited, he handed me 8 bonus that was not men toned in my contract I am not showing the slightest anxiety over what my salary will be next season.
 T have never been a hoIdout in my life and never expect to be. I like Comisley as an employer and Kid Gleason as a boss. It recently made my blood boil when I read unfounded run1or after the worlds series that would succeed the Kid as manager.
 T want to say that I will never ac- cept job as manager as long as I am able to play and expect to see a whole lot of playing yet. I will be 33 years old next May, but I have al ways taken care of myself and be- heve I will be able to play when am 40.
 This year enjoyed playing base ball for the first time in some years. The blight of war put a, damper on the sport in 1917 and 1918, but last sea- son conditions were ideal and there was every incentive to enjoy the sport and play ones best. Next season ought to be the greatest on record in baseball We White Sox will be out for the pennant again. and with Kid Gleason keeping everybody on his toes we have a good chance to repeat Tommy Elm of Paterson. N. J., will tackle Johnny Downs in a star bout of 12 rounds to decision.
 Matchmakers have promised the winner of the Al Reich-Tom CowIer bout tonight a bout with Frank ! Moran of Pittsburgh.

besides proving beyond a bit of

The price of leases took an i'm

WANT FARMERS TO TRY
A NEW KIND OF WHEAT

The County Agent of Seward
county wishes to earnestly urge ev-
cry wheat farmer of the county, if
possible, to SOW at least a few acres
of Kanrod wheat this fall. This is
brought to the attention of the farm
ers now because those wanting Kon-
rad wheat for seed should book
their orders now, if possible, at least
as early as possible.
In 242 trials this wheat failed only
ten times to outyield the other va
rieties grown. This variety of wheat
originated at the Kansas Experiment
Station and has proven to yield SO
bushels per acre more than other va
rieties. 1t is more rust resistant,
wristbands winter killing and ma
lures earlier.
The factor of yield alone would
justify any farmer in planting this
variety exclusively in this county,
while the other factors also are very
important and demand the attention
and earnest consideration of all
wheat growers.
You may make orders thru the
following places:
Chase County Agent, Cottonwood
Falls, Kansas.
Pawnee County Agent, Larned,
Kansas.
A large amount is also raised in
Barton County this year. Book your
order as early as possible, as this
wheat will go fast for seed.
