Hereafter it is probable that Kansas
university's opening game of the sea-
son will go to the Kansas conference
college winning. the championship.
Doc" Allen. of K. L. expresses a de-
sire that the wishes of conference
schools along this line be granted.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1920-09-03

This should create a certain amount
of interest among the smaller schools
of the state who always desire to meet
K. L. OF course, it is hard for Kan
sas to put the smaller schools on its
schedule, just as it is hard for the
smaller colleges to take on teams out
side the conference.

Kansas will return but six or seven
letter men this year. They will be
Captain Nettles, a Topeka boy, at
tackle; Tad Reid, of Stafford, in the
backfield; Dutch Lonborg, of Horton.
ct end: Arnold Bell, of Great Bend, at
end: Charles Heller, Usage City, in the
backfield, and Frank Vaudeville,
Kingman, in the backfield.
Kansas will lose sixteen letter men
from last years squad but there are a
number of promising freshmen who
should fill the gaps left vacant by
Pringle, Church. Ruble. Smith,
Lupher, Gress, Wood. Reedy, David
son, Marker, Knoles, Hampers, Simon,
Cowgirl and Woody. This is quite a
difference between the number of men
returning this year and last season.
The Kansas line will lose three of its
biggest men-RubIe, Smith and Marx
en-aIl of whom tip the beam at 100
pounds.
Kansas is counting more on speed
than weight this year and it is the
hope of the coaches to develop a fast
shifty backfield with a fast charging
line. Former Captain Laslett will
coach the line and Basketball. Lind
say will have charge of the freshmen
coaching in football and the varsity
baseball. Coach Schlademan will de-
vote his entire attention to the cross
country and developing a track team
that will compare faYorably with the
Missouri teams. He will also do some
football officiating this fall DR.. For
rest c. Allen will direct the attack of
the team and handle strategy. He will
also have charge of the varsity basket
ball team.

 suit of an automobile smashup which

 pital, and Frank TooIe, of BIO Orange
 street The party was enroute to Hart ford, where dinner party was scheduled in honor of Swift's birth
 day. With the exception of Swift, all gave fictiouS names on entrance to the hospital
 Word of the accident was sent to
 the New Britain police, and the am- bulance was rushed to the scene. The injured were hastened to the hospital where it was seen that Swift, who had sustained a fractured skull had but little chance of recovery Mrs. Swift, mother of the injured man. was notified at the Biltmore Hotel New York, of the condition of her son, and she came to this city. She a hi-h he Is-iI do at 1:'% o'clock yesterday morning. According to what could be learned of the affair, Swift and Miss Alling were occupying the front seat of the machine. With the car speeding along at a rapid clip, Swift, it is said, turned his head to speak to one of the occu- pants in the rear, Seat, and almost in stan Ivy there was a crash as the car shot off the road at the curve The right front wheel was ripped off, and l the machine was reduced to a pile of l debris. Swift and Gertrude Le Grand i were pinned under the wreckage. Swift was 21 years old Saturday | and was on his way to celebrate the event when the accident occurred. A ] short time before leaving his home at | New Haven, he talked to his mother over the telephone at the Biltmore ! Hotel, at New York, and it was at her suggestion that the dinner was ar ranged, it is said.
 Miss Florence Le Grand, Miss filling and Miss Toole, who escaped with only superficial bruises, left the hos pital last night. According to Dr. R. M. Griswold, the medical examiner in Berlin, who investiga ted the affair there have been eleven fatalities at the crossing with few years.

 0FFICIALS' REPORTS
Work Along Educational, Mis- Sionary and Benevolent Lines

Boston, Mass, Nov. 15.-A re formers creed" was offered to the Council of the Board of Benevolence of the Methodist Episcopal church at the latter's meeting here today by the Rev. Clarence True Wilson, cor responding secretary of the church $ Board of Temperance and Morals The first article had to do with Am ericanization which it defined ~ as that achievement or national unity as an equipment for world service which the nation found it needed at the outbreak of the war and which need was just as imperative before we found it out.''
 The article advocated English as the exclusive basis for American edu- cation in the grade schools and as the medium of communication through every American published d newspaper. We must eliminate little foreign language groups segre- gated from the rest of our people, said the creed.
 Discussing next 'The Divine Right of Democracy" the creed reiterated the soverign right of the people" to elect their own governing officers and advocated continuance of the direct primary system and extension of the initiative. referendum and re- call.
 Reverence for law, extension of prohibition, crusades against gambl- ing. prize fighting and prostitution, and a national censorship of moving pictures were further articles in the creed. Another article said: T be- lieve in an educational and moral suasion campaign against the per sonal use of the doped cigarettes which tobacco trust foisted upon the country in war times"
 Bible teaching in the public schools was advocated and also Sabbath ob- servance 'as it stood before the Ger man-Am erican alliance trampled it in the mire of our American cities, to establish on its ruins their continental Sunday, adapted to a beer garden civilization and bolstering the type of German imperialism that went to crash"

LOOSE TALK HIGH UP.

A United States Senator occupies an honorud position. The man who holds that place grows bigger, if he is any good at all. as the years pass. The man who holds the position of the President of the United States holds tho most important position in the world. No matter how seriously he may take his selection by the people for this office. he fails to real ize it's importance until he has taken up the position and made q mistake or two.
 The remark of a State official is taken more or less seriously: that of a Representative little more serious ly. When a man becomes a United States Senator his words are given great weight.
 But when a man Is chosen by the people to be their President he should weigh his every public utterance. As tho small boy believes that his father Can Tick any man in the world" and as he believes his fathers word is law so the people of the United States would like to trust in their President.
 Of course it takes some men longer than others to learn the sacredness of this trust. Even a humble citizen may criticize a President, or a Pres ident- Elect for taking things for granted and speaking in such way that others will suffer.
 Lloyd's National and Provincial Bank has given five reasons for the fall in the value of the French franc, which used to be worth about twenty cents in United States money.
 One of the reasons is Said to be President-Elec Harding's celebration about the "dcceaso" of the League of Nations.
