Kansas mas SHOWN herSelI LnuS 1ar
this year to be strong in the forward
passing department, but this week has
been devoted largely to the perfection
of other modes of attack.
Every now and then, about once
a year, some small college, laid away
all by itself in a little town, rises up
and whips a larger team, to the sur
prise and admiration of the country.
Human nature generally is for the
smaller factor. when in contest, be it
man, school, team or nation. 1t is
Just natural that the interested pub
lie should want the smaller man or
school to win in a fight or football
game.
That is why the entire country went
wild when little Centre college, down
in Danville, Ky, whipped the mighty
Harvard eleven.
Also, to bring it closer home, that's
the reason that the town of Emporia
is generally t3ckled to death when the
college, with its $50 students, whips
the State Normal, endowed by the
state and boasting a thousand or two
students.
So it goes.
We heard the other day of another
little college that did a big thing in a
football way Elrick B. Davis, a
Washburn professor. who is an
alumnus of this college, left an irate
note on our desk. demanding that we
give immediate attention to the per-
formances of his alma mater in the
football world.
Kenyon college is the one. It is To-
Gated in Gambler. Ohio. Kenyon has
an enrolment OF approximately 200.
It is a mans college-none of your
coed stuff for Kenyon. Every time
Kenyon steps on a gridiron it does so
at a d.sadvantage, for no matter what
school in Ohio or the surrounding
country it plays. that school has a
larger enrolment from which to pick
its players. And Kenyon doesn't play
freshmen.
The other Saturday Kenyon stepped
into battle with Wooster college.
Wooster hadn't been defeated in aay
game since 1916. They considered .he
Kenyon game a snap.
But Kenyon won 80.
They fought it all over the Wooster
men. And the Cleveland and Colum-
bus (Ohio) papers thought enough
of the surprise to string a few banner
heads over their sporting pages tell

Topeka MAKES BIG GAIN
New Telephone Directory Contains
12.O64 Names.

If the telephone directory can be
used as a basis of computation, To-
peka's population has gained 2.465
since last spring.
The new directory, just out the
first issued since spring. contains the
names of 12,064 subscribers. The old
directory contained 11,4S4 subscrib-
ers. Taking the government census
of 1920, giving Topeka's population
as 50,O22, as the basis for figuring
it VIII be noted that the ratio of tele-
phones to the population was approx
imately "A. Multiplying this num-
Der by $50, which represents the
increase in the number of telephones
in use, gives an increase in population
of 2,465 persons.

The University of Kansas football
eleven, under the direction of Coach
''Potsy' Clark, is holding it's final
practice today in Lincoln, Neb., in
preparation for the hard game Satur-
day afternoon with the heavy Corn
husker eleven. The coaches and
players, as we'll as a large-sized bunch
of rooters left Lawrence Thursday
night.
Dope is overwhelming against K. u.
in the fray tomorrow but the Jay
hawker eleven, the coaches and the
rooters during practice this week have
exhibited no signs that they were con-
ceding the game to the Cornhusk-
ers. Nebraska beat Oklahoma, A to
0, and then the Oklahomans took
K. U. down to defeat last Saturday
by score of "a to Z. However,
Kansas rooters can't forget the great
comeback that the Jayhawkers made
last year when they overcame a 20
to lead held by Nebraska in the
first half and tied the game. Then
again Nebraskas s win over the strong
Pittsburgh team in the east last Sat
nrday given her more prestige.
Nebraska holds considerable edge
over Kansas in the games of the past
between the two schools. Out of Is
games K. L. has won but nine while
the Cornhuskers carried off sixteen.
The contest last year is the only tie
battle the schools have played. The
last victory Kansas gained over the
rivals from the north was in 1916,
when the score rested with the Jay
hawk. to 3.
Despite the defeat at Oklahoma last
week the Jayhawk stock has not fallen
to especially low levels. The team
exhibited lost ground gaining power
even tho defeated and it is pointed
out by supporters that the Kansas
team has not failed to register at least
one touchdown or more against each
opponent so far this season.
Unless Kansas can defeat Nebraska
the Cornhuskers will probably go un-
defeated by any Missouri Valley con-
ference team this season as they only
play three of the conference eIevens
and have already disposed of Okla
hOma.
The Kansas lineup will be much the
same tomorrow as in the last two
games. However. Davidson is ex-
pected to be back at right tackle
after having been laid up for several
weeks with a twisted knee. Freese

starts and altho an inexperienced

ing all Ohio about the game. 1t was
considered the most surprising foot
ball upset of the season in that sec
ton OF the country, with the possible
exception of Oberlin's defeat of Ohio
State.
Last year Kenyon pulled another
sensational victory when she defeated
Western Reserve, a traditional enemy,
17-14. And the opposing college has
several thousand students
And the football world was glad
that little Kenyon did the trick on
both occasions It hopes she'll do it
again.
Topeka will have a game Armistice
day, even if Washburn is going out of
town.
The Topeka highs meet Wichita on
Washburn field at 3 o'clock this after
noon in a game stated to be close, but
in which the dope points to Topeka
win.
Topeka, coached by "Jerb" Barnes,
lost only one game this season, that
to Ottawa. A tie game with Manhat-
tan is the only other mar on the To-
peka record.
Topekans have seen the boys from
the high school several times this sea-
son on the Washburn gridiron. They
know that T. H S. plays football.
The game tom morroW should be full
of thrills The Topeka men are all in
the pink of condition with the eXcep-
ton of Jolley, who is out of the game
with injuries.

Today is probably the most impor-
tant day of the football year for Wash
burn.
The game this afternoon with the
College of Emporia either effectually
shuts off all 1chabod hopes. or puts
them on a high and mighty basis.
Ream and his men say they are
ready.
A light but snappy signal practice
last night was the final link in the
chain of preparations for the big
event. Two hundred tickets have
been sold for the special train to En-
poria leaving the Santa Fe station at
1910 this morning. More rooters are
expected to pile aboard at the last mo-
ment. Many are driving down, despite
the change in the weather.
Emporia is ready. Coach Gwin
Henry and his fighting red-sweatered
men claim they are anxious for the
opening whistle to begin taking the
Blue warriors into camp.
The game, We think, will be the best
on the Washburn schedule this year.
Last Saturday Washburn took the
Emporia Normals by surprise. And
the Normals were unable to recover
from the amazement of seeing Wash
burn in good shape,-in time to win
the game.
But Emporia knows what kind of a
team Washburn has-and they are
pointing-pointing anxiously.

Pittsburg Normals did what was
expected of them by the colin and
others yesterday, when they defeated
st. Mary's 8 to Z in a game that
was reported to be one of the closest
played on the St. Mary's field this
year.
The Pittsburg men scored first in
the first quarter following long pen
alties. when Scott and Alleys battered
the line for the counter. The goal
from touchdown failed.
st. Mary's came back strong in the
second quarter, and played hard. con-
sistent ball. Long end runs by Rami-
ciotti finally took the ball to the Pitts
burg ten yard line and in four downs
the ball lacked three inches of going
over. Pittsburg took the ball and
kicked out OF danger as the half
ended.
In the third quarter forward passes
by Ramiciotti to Walsh took the ball
again to the Pittsburg ten yard line
and Ramiciotti carried the pigskin
over the goal line. Walsh kicked goal.
With,the score to in their favor,
the St. MaTy's rooters went wild.
Their enthusiasm was Short-lived.
however, as the Weedemen opened up
a beautiful forward pass attack and
soon made their second touchdown.

Spectators say the game was the
cleverest exhibition of football seen in
st. Mary's this season.

selves, is all that can be allowed, un-
der the Legislative budget. 1t will be
found to be more than a majority of
the schools have been accustomed to
pay for a years repairs.
A business system which will be
capable of taking care of a business
aggregating $2,2OO,OOO yearly is being
installed in the business offices of the
State Board. These offices are in the
Republican Club Rooms, in the Hinkle
Building, at Dover, opposite the offices
Of the State Board. When one con-
siders that the accounts of the State
Board must be kept separately with
every school district, and distributed
by districts, among ten or twelve
items, it will be seen that the job is
no small undertaking. However, all
the work is progressing with at least
expected rapidity, and we believe that
when schools open on September 9th,
they will be in as good shape for i'm

CHILD WELFARE CAMPAIGN
MAKES GRATIFYING PROGRESS
LABOR OF CHILDREN THROUGH
OUT STATE GREATLY REDUCED
Charles H. Hagner Head of the Labor
Commission of Delaware Notes
a Most Gratifying Progress


Child-labor in Delaware is fast
dwindling. AS a result of the Con-
servation of Child Life campaign with
the enlisted aid of the Child Welfare
centres established in many commun-
tiles, Wilmington today employs be-
tween 500 and 600 juvenile workers as
compared with almost double that
number for the corresponding period
of last year. According to Charles H.
Hagner, head of the LABOR Commits
sion of Delaware, the depressions in
business as we'll as the labor condi-
tions throughout the city have played
an important part in forcing wage
earning on the juvenile member of the
household. In many instances, as
serts Mr.. Hagner, the parent is un-
able to secure employment and as
last means the child is pushed for
ward to earn a small pittance for the
family.
Il know of one instance" said Mr..
Hagner, chat in the case of a Polish
family, who are indebted to the
amount of $50 for bread alone. There
are many such cases and it is because
of conditions like this that the child
is forced Co find employment"
1t was pointed out that majority
of male wage-earners have been out
of employment for a considerable
length of time and that drastic means
are being employed as a method of
relief. However, child labor has its
restrictions. In every instance, a
! juvenile applicant must have COM
pleted his fifth year at school. He
must be IA years of age and present a
school certificate.
When the Part Time School Law be-
comes effective September 1, every
child must attend school one day each
week. This applies to all children un-
der 16 years of age.
With the canneries and box-makine
establishments practically at a stand
still, juvenile wage-earners in lower
Delaware are also hard hit. As a re
suit the child is placed in the field t.
assist with the farming and tilling O
lands.
However, the outlook for the futur,
is bright. When the present depres
sion lifts and working condition
classed as normal, it will find all tex
tile, industrial and mercantile factor
les practically free from chiid-labor.

SCHOOLS READY FOR OPENING

State Board of Education Has Com
pleted Most of its Preliminary Work
Under the direction of the State
Board of Education, the schools of
the State are rapidly being prepared
for opening day-September 9th.
One not acquainted with the amount
of work entailed by the transfer of
business could not imagine the vol
ume of work which must be accom-
plished. In the first place, several
hundred teachers must be placed,
many of them in schools in which they
have no acquaintance on the Board
of Trustees. The work of bringing
teachers and Boards of Trustees to-
gether in an acceptable manner, and
the work of discovering as much new
teaching material as possible, alone
has taken a great deal of time, and
serious effort. However, the peak of
this work has been passed, and unless
Boards of Trustees postpone the work
of securing their teachers far beyond
the wise period, the remainder of this
particular job can be taken care Of
without much difficulty.
The teacher situation is somewhat
improved over that of last year, al
though there is still a shortage. 1t
is expected that the number of peO-
pie teaching on provisional certificates
will be greatly reduced this year.
Another considerable task has been
the conducting of the examinations
for prospective teachers, which were
given on August 18th and 18th, in five
different centers of the State. Ap-
proximately two hundred candidates
attempted these examinations, and the
work of sorting the fit from the unfit
is now under way.
The work of supplying equipment il
science for the high school is an eX
ceedingly difficult problem, owing II
the amount of detail in the selection
of whatever articles are lacking IL
each particular school. The install
ment of this high school equipmen
will necessarily be deferred unit
sometime after the opening of school
because it will not be possible to de
termine the needed equipment, distri
butte the $4,000 available with fair
ness to all, order the equipment, an
have it delivered by the beginning o
September.
All books needed by the State Boar
of Education for the schools outsid
of Special Districts, have been order
ed, and are expected to arrive in tim
for every school to have full set o
! the opening day of school, or within
few days thereafter. The Special Dis
tricts have no excuse for not havin
their schools completely supplied wit
books, and thoroughly equipped
this respect.
The Trustees of the rural scho'
districts are attending to the provisio
J. of fuel, and the making of necessal
: repairs to the buildings, up to II
limit of $50 per teacher. This amour
while it is less than some schools nee
and might have provided for then
