THE SOUTH SIDE is
WILLING TO COMPROMISE

Many and varied are the reports
which are gaining circulation as to
the attitude of the residents of Lib
tracks, in regard to the matter of the
eral residing south of the Rock Island
erection of a school building in that
part of towns.
In a former article an attempt was
made to set the matter clearly before
the people, but many evidently did
not see the article or gained the
wrong impression.
The people of South Liberal want
school building so located that
their children will not have to cross
the Rock Island tracks, and traverse
tae great distance necessary to have
the benefit of the public schools of
the city.
They feel that they are entitled
tC this and after making many re.
quests have at last reached the point
Where it is a demand. However it
is not fact that large or expensive
building is demanded. The people of
the south side are a part of Liberal,
have contributed their shore to the
progress of the town, and are still
interested in making it the best town
in the Southwest. They realize that
ii would not be to their inerest to
ask something which would hamper
the town in its growth. but are will
ing to meet the school board more
than half way in a compromise.
While they feel that large build
ing will soon be a necessity, they
have agreed that substantial three
or four room building will be accept
able at this provided some sort Of
definite arrangement is made where
by the more commodious building
/&il be provided in the future.
We are informed that if the board
will, at this time pass a resolution
and designate the building site las
they must first do), erect three or
four room building, and make an
agreement that when the Lincoln
school building is wrecked the mater
ial will be used in the erection of a
six room building the people of
south Liberal will accept the propo-
sition.
The present Board make the rep
resentation that they cannot bind a
future board, but if the agreement is
made in good faith any incoming
members would no doubt be men
enough to carry out the contract
if they did not it would not be to the
credit of the present board. However
we are informed that school boards
elsewhere, by proper resolution, have
bound incoming boards and if this
is true it would seem that it could
be done here.
The Democrat has no interest in
this matter other than this matter be
peaceably settled in such manner
that there will be no friction be-
tween the two section of the city, and
we still have hopes that this will be
accomplished.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1920-08-26

building will be considered, and it
is also possible that the matter Of 10
cation will be settled or at least dis
cussed.
Several sites have been proposed,
but neither the committee of the
Board of Directors Of the Chamber
of Commerce desired the responsi-
bilty of selecting the site without
hearing from the people, so this fea-
ture alone should bring out a good
crowd. If you do not attend and
the site is not satisfactory to you,
you will have no one to blame but
yourself.
To have an election called or to
get the proposition on the ballot in
general election it is necessary TO
have petition asking the County
Commissioners to take such action.
It is the purpose of the Chamber of
Commerce to make a drive to secure
the signers to these petitions. Every
section of che county will be visited
by committees and every person seer
if possible.
This proposition should receive
the hearty endorsement of every citi-
zen of the town and county. The
matter of additional taxes need wor-
ry no one, as the amount each will
have to pay will be negligible, while
the benefits of such an institution are
too numerous to enumerate.
The law under these bonds may be
voted was enacted to enable fitting
memorials to be erected to the boys
who served in the world war. both
living and dead and The Democrat
knows of no better way to do this
than edect a Memorial Auditorium.
Some towns went to great expense
in erecting memorial arches, and at
this time are wondering who is to pay
the expense of removing them, others
monuments in their cemeteries, but
it is the opinion of this paper that a
building which could be used by the
living and advance the interests of
the entire county in many ways is a
great deal more desirable.
In the hallway of such a building
there should be in the walls marble
tablets bearing the names of the
boys who died in the service or fell
in battle, and commodious room
should be, and will be set aside for
the use of the American Legion.
This would leave a great hall
where it would be possible for all
the people of the county to meet to-
gether in public meetings.
The memorial service this year
was held in the big Chautauqua tent,
but another year we may not be so
fortunate as TO have Chautauqua
at that time and it will be necessary
to 90 to one of the churches which
will not accommodate a fourth of
hose who would like to attend.
There are many other reasons why

forced to depend upon speed to offset these big advantages of the Plansmen. Speed in abundance is to be found among the Vandy men, especially in the back field. In addition to Nicely, Wade, Floyd and Latham, who will start in the back field for Vanderbilt, there are several new
 men who will undoubtedly get their chance in the battle against the Tigers today. Among them are Doe Kuhn. Red Rountree, Frank Godchau and
 Nixon. all of whom are speed artists of the highest order. Berryhill is a ten- second man and should he get in at a critical moment, when an end run is need- ed he might play havoc with Auburn. The lightning" back field of Vandy will bear watching,
 GOOD BACKFIELD Mike Donahue has a good set of backs himself His varsity back field-Reo How ard, Francis Stubbs, Ed Shirling and Charley scott-gets away like streak of lightning. Red" Howard is undoubtedly the speed artist of the outfit. This fiery topped back is the same lad who played havoc with A. & M. and Georgia last year. making long end runs against both of them. Howard got away for 50-yard sprint and touchdown against tieorgia, winning the game for his alma mater. to O.
 There is no question about the superior
 ty of Auburn in the line department. Dan McGugn was handicapped this year when four of his most dependable lines men left schoolgirl Adams. Tommy Zer- foss Josh Cody and Tom Lipscomb. Me Gugin's line, in addition to being shot to pieces by injuries, is handicapped by lack of poundage which will be greatly felt when the Commodores go up against the splendid aggressive machine of the Plainsmen.
 : Mike Donahue's 2Oo-pound line should have thinas its own way this afternoon, with Warren, Sizemore, Grisham. Pierce. Caton and others in splendid trim for the battle.
 AUBURN SHOULD WIN
 Most of the dopesters are picking Au- burn to win the game by at least Is points. In gambling circles it is reported that even money is being given that the Pla'nsmen will win the game by this margin.
 Vanderbilt. however, has way of re- versing the dope when facing the Plains men. and it would be little surprise to many for Vandy to turn on the Tigers and trounce them. duplicating their feat of i6 wken Auburn was defeated. 19 to g, while it was net thought that the Com modores had chance in the world.

Tigers Will Try to Break Tie With Kentucky In Lex
 ington Today
By CHARLES UNDERWOOD

Sewanee, October 22.- Especially - The Sewanee Tigers left Thursday afternoon for Lexington, where they will beard the Kentucky Wildcats in their den on Saturday. Eight cen men were taken on the trip.
 They reached Lexington Friday morn ing. and a light workout will be held the same afternoon on the Kentucky state field.
 About the only available dope on the relative strength of the two teams is that both are stronger than last year.
 Each has returned a large number Of seasoned players Kentucky. being some what better off in that respect that Se- vance.
 Last year the Kentucky aggregation won the game at Sewanee\by the mar gin of one touchdown, the only score Of the game
 The game this year will be for blood, al the series thus far has resulted in tie, each team having won one game and two games ending in toss up
 The Tigers will enter the game minus the services of Stivers, the plucky center, WnO HdS a lame ICE that VIII p'SotDio keep him out for scme time.
 In his place Lawre will probably have the eall although Satterlee is being groomed for the position.
 Stoney and Satterlee are the regular guards, but should Satterlee play center, either Litton or Benton will be sent in to take his place.
 Without a doubt Skidmore and Elam will open the game as tackles, with Lit ton ready to replace either man should replacement be necessary. At the wings Coach Abell has hls two veterans, Con- way and Harold Council. These two men have started in every game so far. In reserve the coach has Miller and Oakes, and there is mighty little to choose between the four.
 Miller in particular has weight and speed, and Snaggs passes with a sure grip.
 Oakes had played very little ball be- fore coming to Sewanee, but he s-catch- ing on swiftly.
 Cook, the Birmingham freshman. is making good at quarterback. He will start the game, and probably end it un- less the Wildcats are wilder than the Tigers believe them to be.
 Three halfbacks, Captain Coughlan, Harper and Long, will be taken. and roughland and Harper will probably be he first choice if Harper has sufficiently
 
 he received in practice. Harper will do the bunting. Long can relieve him at his job as well as at half.
 The fullback position vii be we'll taken care of by Guerry, Smith. and Kenneth Council Guerry has been out of the game for a number of weeks with bum arm. He is now back in harness and has gone through the hard scrimma geing this week in good shape He is heavier than the other candidates and has years seasoning
 Council and Smith have given satisfac- tion during Guerry's absence. The back field is well prepared for the game, as the six men mentioned can alternate at the three positions without any loss sof ability. There Is no over-confidence among the men as to the outcome of the game.
 It is known that Kentucky has fine team, and they will be playing at home. The Tiger is going to Lexington with the determination of bringing home the bacon if it is at all possible.

GREAI TEST OF SOUTHERN GRLDIRON
 CLASHES AT RICKWOOD PARK TODA Y

Alabama's second team has been ex- periencing severe workouts this week, having had two scrimmages against the varsity and holding them cred itably.
 The Alabama scrubs are expecting good fight from the Tech scrubs, but they are going with a grim determina- tion to let the Georgia lads know they have been through battle. The team left the university Friday morning at s o'clock, and will return either Satur- day night or Sunday morning.
 The following men will Journey to Tech to represent Ala bama in this im- portant secondary battle:

 University. October 22.-(Special- ing. Alabama's gridiron squad battles Howard on the campus here Saturday in her second s. I. A. A. game of this season. The interest in this game cen ters not only in the result. but also, and no doubt chiefly, in the light which it will throw on Alabamas prospects against Sewanee in the game which occurs the following Saturday. There is even now considerable Interest over the latter affair which has for long number of years been the out standing football contest of tba sea son.
 Alabama's team is in prime physical condition, and there seems-.to to be no reason why she should not hold her own with comparative ease against the Baptist eleven.
 The Alabama line will be watched in this game as it has not been watched this year. for with only a week re- maining until the Sewanee affair. it is of vital importance that the line be in good condition. The back field is oc- casioning the Crimson followers no particular anxiety. and it is generally felt that success with Sewanee will de- pend largely on the defense which the line puts up. Considerable improve ment in the line has already been noted since the beginning of the sea son.
 The Baptist lads may be assured of goodly scrap when they encounter the heavy Alabama eleven. for Alabama will probably fight as she has not fought this year. The proximity of the first big" game demands it, and the Alabama squad will be put through the final preliminary test hefore the beginning of her heavy schedule.
 Grant field in Atlanta will be the scene Saturday of a hroil between the reserve aggregations of the Eni- versty of Alabama and Georgia Tech

Coach McGugin stated last night that he believes his men have almost an even chance to hold the heavy, low charging Plainsmen. Despite the fact that the squad is shot to pieces by injuries, Mo- ,Gugin will not concede big odds to Au- burn but stands steadfastly by his colors.
 The Plainsmep, on the other hand, are reported to be in excellent condition, The entire first string squad will probably start the game today,
 HAS SPLENDID LINE
 Mike Donahue has wonderful com bination this year: His line is one of the heaviest in the south, and. by the way, one of the most impregnable. It IS an old saying that "A Commodore may go around the Auburn line. but never through it." Vandy will find trouble in going around the Tiger line this year, for in Ollinger and Shirey, Donahue has pair of defensive ends capable of hold ing their own against any in the south
