KICK OFF TODAY
But 1t Is Rather Feeble Boot
by Middle West.
Haskell Baker Game at Law
renee Biggest on Card.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Footbau kicked
off today with a rather feeble boot in
the middlewest.
With the exception of a few unim-
portant local games. the opening of
the season saw little activity. Nearly
all big ten coaches were keeping
their hopefuis under cover for the big
show, which starts week from to-
day.
Reports from the training camps
We're inadequate, the mentors having
been putting their squads thru secret
practice.
Indiana, which made a great show
ing toward the close of last season,
was to meet its ancient Hoosier rival
Franklin college at Bloomington to-
day.
Another Indiana family quarrel will
be settled when De Pauw meets Han
over at Greencastle this afternoon.
A line on the strength of the Michi-
gan Aggies can be obtained from the
size of the score they are able to ac-
cumulate in their game with Kalama-
zoo at East Lansing.
Other games in the midwest in
cluded:
Coe and Iowa Teachers at Cedar
Rapids.
Western Reserve and Toledo at
Cleveland.
St Louis and Cape Girardeau at
st. Louis.
Haskell Institute and Baker atLaw-
renee.
Kansas City. Mo. Sept. 25-Conege

lating their strength today preparatory
to the opening of the 1920 football
season. In this territory. there were
two opening battles scheduled for to-
day. The first big games will, be
played next Saturday.
= The Haskell Indians meet the Baker

Winfield, Kan, Sept 25-w. s.
Bates, for many years athletic director
of the Southwestern university of this
city is endeavoring to find some addi-
his brother, Corp. Perry j Bates,
18Th infantry, who was killed in a raid
when the 35th division was stationed
in the Vosges mountains. He has
written the Kansas department of the
American Legion to assist him in this
effort, and believes that at the reunion
of the division in Topeka, September
26-2S, that he may be able to find
some ex-soldier who is acquainted
with the circumstances of the death
and burial of his brother.

Old King Football will come into
his own today. All over the country
college elevens will listen Tor the
referees whistle starting them off for
another big year in the only sport
which has never been tempered with
by the professional gamblers. Two
games of interest to football fans in
this section are on the card for today.
Baker University meets the Haskell
indians at Lawrence this afternoon.
Two new coaches will try each other
out. z. S. Liston, a former Baker
grad, is in charge of the Methodist
squad and has been sending out bear
stories from Baldwin saying how
many men he has on the injured list.
Madison Bell, the new Haskell coach,
formerly played on the famous Cen
ter college team in 1919. He has
a number of old men back and should
have little trouble winning today if
the Indians are as fast as usual. open
style play viii probably be used by
tie red men.
a big battle is on at Emporia The
NCrnlals will play the Pittsburg Nor
NAL team who are coached by the
well known DR.. Garfield Weede. Bill
Hargiss has returned to Emporia after
an absence of two years and is ably
assisted by a. A. Schabfnger last year
al Ottawa university. These two wen
Goa ched elevens should meet later in
available the game was scheduled for
today
Cap Wells and his Santa F'e baseball
team will play the Argentine team
Sunday afternoon at the Western
League ball park at 3:15 o'clock. The
Argentine team has won all of their
games around Kansas City this sea-
son, having defeated some of the best
semi-pFO teams in this part of the
country Next to BeIoit this is per-
haps the best baseball team that has
or will meet the locals this year.
While no lineup has been announced
by Cap Wells, it will probably be the
same as last Sunday. Saffel, if right.
should make a lot of trouble for the
visitors because he has been going
like a house on fire since joining the
Topeka team. This boy ought to have
q chance in faster company next year.
He not only has a nice curve ball
and change of pace but he has a good
noodle and with Wells behind the
plate to steady him down the Topeka
fans needn't worry about him going
up in the air. Several Western league
clubs are flirting with this young
pitcher and trying to sign him up
for next year

Sporting Editor:
In The State Journal I note the
whole town of Valley Falls roasting
me and claim the Santa Fe club is
afraid. Now, the only understanding
the Santa Fe club has of the word
afraid" is that we have been afraid
all summer we would not get a whack
at the Valley Falls club, and we have
just about come to the conclusion now
that it would be a sad mistake to take
them on, since the boys from the large
city of Perry gave the Valley Falls
club a trimming recently, and as Perry
did not show much here-what is the
use to take on the Valley club? Dur
ing the earlier part of the season we
accepted two offers made by the Val
ley Falls club manager, Mr.. Hauck,
but each time they failed to material
ize-and for the benefit of those who
are not in possession of the facts, will
state that both the offers, and which
were accepted on the part of our club.
were in excess of the Western league
clubs guarantee.
Also note they have raked and
scraped until they have accumulated
$1,000 to bet on their heroes Now,
the members of the Santa Fe club are
not permitted to wager on the out
come of games, but on the other hand,
1 can go down the avenue with this
Information and would hardly get
started until Chief Hannah would have
to call out his reserves to keen the
takers off. In fact the little one thou
sand would only be a teaser, as there
are any number of real sports here
who would take it alone, providing
they would use none but the players
who are bona fide Valley Falls men
and who have played all year on the
clup The question of eligibility would,
of course, have to be left to an i'm
partial board to be appointed for that
purpose. Yours truly,
w. C. WELLS,
Manager Topeka Santa Fe Baseball
Club.

TO BUILD W0MEN'S AUXILIARY
Legion Administrative Machinery to
Be Used in Safely Launching the
Branch Organization.

Assurance that the administrative
machinery of the American Legion
will be used without stint in an effort
to build up the Womens auxiliary,
has been given by National Comman-
der f. w. Galbraith, Jr. 1t is expect
ed that the auxiliary will take charge
Of its own destinies next spring, with
the holding of the first national con-
vention of the women's units.
"All doubts and misgivings in regard
to the future of the Women's auxiliary
Of the American Legion were removed,
and a system of orderly expansion in
state departments and national or
ganiZatiQn was provided for by the
Cleveland convention" announced Mr.
Galbraith.
1--WE propose to offer the aid of our
organization in building up the aux
Hilary, but we are not going to NEEDLE
with its policies so long as our rec
ognized ideals and purposes are car
ried out. The Cleveland convention
voted to let the women swim without
water wings. 1t authorized state exec
utive committees of the Legion to call
state conventions and to establish de-
partment organizations of the auxil-
larry, killing the rule which made nee
essary the establishment of total of
units equivalent to so per cent of the
number of posts in the department"
