CLARK WORKING HARD
FOR STRONG MACHINE
Trying to Bring JayhaWkers Up
to Championship Form.
Kansas Should Occupy Same Position
In Missouri Valley That Illinois
Does in "Big Ten" Confer
ence, Says Allen.

To bring the Jayhawker football
team up to the standard Of the cham
pionship Kansas university baseball
team and strong track team, of which
Everett Bradley, Olympic star, was
captain last year, is the job under
taken by George "Potsy" Clark, who
is now head coach of football and
baseball at the University of Kansas.
A recent survey of men available
for the team shows that ten tx" men
and u more last years varsity squad,
besides 10 of last years freshmen
team, out for the squad. 1t is from
this group that Clark and his assist
ants, Karl Schlademan and Adrian
Lindsay, must form a strong Jayhawk-
er machine.
Clark can do this, in the opinion of
DR.. Forrest c. Allen, director of ath-
letics. bob Zuppke made Illinois so
far as athletics is concerned and /
think Clark can do the same for Kan
sas," he said. Kansas should and
will occupy the same position in the
Missouri valley that Illinois does in
the Big Ten conference"
Clark and Zuppke have been good
friends for years. During Clark's
school days he played on six cham
pionship football and baseball teams
under Zuppke's tutelage at Illinois.
my good luck piece" is what Zuppke
likes to call him.
In 1915 Clark came to Kansas for
the first time as assistant football
coach and stepped into the llmelight
by taking the Jayhawkers to Nebraska
and coming back with to vic
tory.
During the war "Potsy" played on
the championship 89th division team
both at Camp Funston and in France
when that team won the champion
ship of the A. e. f.
Since leaving the army Clary has
been associated with John L. Griffith
in conducting the coaching school at
the University of Illinois. Last year
he was coach of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college eleven at East Lam
sing.
The last question about Clark's COM
ing to K. q. was settled when he
turned down an offer of $1,000 more
than he is to receive at e. q. from
one of the largest universities in the
country.

able places. When we forded one OF
the streams the water ran into the en-
CINE of the car. At Little River we
had to be ferried across in an old
fashioned ferryboat. The hill was so
steep on the opposite shore that the
men had to get out and push the car
up the muddy embankment. After
travelling the 80 miles we found that
| Oklahombi was not at home. He was,
| however, only a mile away at his
, uncle'S farm, where he was helping to
plant grain.
Sol Joel, the interpreter, volunteered
to walk through the woods to the
farm, get Oklahombi, and return with
him to his home After time they
came up smiling. The object of our
trip had been explained and Okla
hombi was willing for me to take his
picture in his uniform, and one of his
home. And he was willing that his Croix
de Guerre, his trench hat, and some of
his other cherished relics should be
placed in the State Historical mu-
scum"
Oklahombi (said to mean "Man-
Killer'O is twenty-six years old. He
is tall, brawny fellow, typical of his
race. He returned, as he went to
the army, perfect specimen of man
hood, having most miraculously es-
capped shot and shell.
He speaks English, but not very
well. What he did over there is one
of the last things he wants to talk
about. When questioned about his
experiences, his replies are invariably
in as short sentences as possible.
His idea of settling the war was
to annihilate the Germans as soon as
possible.
When asked what he thought about
the army he said: TOO much salute
not 'nough shoot
When urged to tell something OF
his encounter with the Germans, the
reply was II sure give 'em hell!'
Oklahombi's comrades grew to ex-
/ pect him to kill every foeman in
sight. One day he brought a very
large prisoner into camp. Being asked
how it happened he said: "WelI, can
! take him back and kill him." This
was told to the interpreter in his own
language, and was the only incident
that was got out of him.
He was raised in the mountainous
part of the state, which is conceded
/ TO be the most beautiful section OF
Oklahoma Here in his yo1ltb tho cloa,
| streams that flowed through the
/ Kiamitia mountains were well filled
with fish, and wild game roamed
! through the forests.
Such an environment was more ap
pealing to him than the school room
consequently he has a very limited ed
ucation. The only training he has
was acquired at short intervals in ole
Armstrong academy near Caddo.

All over the country coaches have
been working feverishly to groom
their entries for the day On which the
barrier went up on the intercollegiate
football race.
A glance over the field indicates
that although racing conditions will
be about the same as last season, the
entries as whole will be much faster.
Only a few minor changes have been
made in the rules, and most colleges
are recognizing the coaches and stats
Of last year.
Renovations in team material are
comparatively few, and with the bulk
Of playing material of last year back
as seasoned veterans, the game should
be speedier.
The style of play will be largely
the same as that of last season; a
liberal amount of open running, sup
ported by tricks and accurate passing.
Passing to Stay.
Forward passing seems to be neces-
sary in rounding out a well-balanced
and effective offense, and most effec-
tive when so designed that the passes
and running plays are made to look
alike. This requires the defense to
hesitate to. determine whether the
play is a running play or a pass.
Forward passing is probably the

captain of the Freshies.
Stuart is said to have the feet that
will fill the shoes of Harley and Stinch-

Ten, sat down to Stuart.
At the rush of the season, the knick-

its way.

PUT TIME LIMIT ON PLAYERS
Southern League Has Rule That Ball
Tosser Must Be Disposed Of
After Three Years.

The Southern league has rule that
a player after three years Of service
on a club must be disposed Of. The
idea Is to give the fans new faces and
also furnish chance for youngsters.
If the rule is lived up to some clubs

He married a full-blooded Choctaw
girl before he enlisted in the army.
When he went over seas he left his
wife and baby girl a few months
old.
After he was mustered out it is no
wonder he chose to go back to the
beautiful old Indian settlement where
he was wont to hunt and fish when
boy. A little cottage has been built
on small tract of land which he
owns and is cultivating. Near the
back door stands the ta-ful-la mortar.
"And now that the strife and tur-
moil is over" writes Czarina Conlan,
sit is natural that he should want to
return to the heart of nature, where
he can look out in the cool of the eve
ming and see the lengthening shadows
of the old oak trees-trees that were
old before his ancestors made the
trail of tears when they came to the
Indian territory in 1892"
Perhaps Oklahombi will get full
recognition for his exploits in "The
World War;" which is being written
by DIR. Joseph K Dixon, the leader
of the Rodman Wanamaker historical
expeditions to the North American In
dams. in the course of which he Wis
tied every reservation in the country.
He is the author of ''The Vanishing
Race" and the secretary of the Ma
tional American Indian Memorial as
ISOLATION. Between February, 1919,
and February, 1920, he visited sys-
tematically all the camps and military
hospitals on the Atlantic seaboard, in
ing, interrogating and photographing
Indian soldiers who had returned
either sound or wounded, from over
seas.
And now, as his final act of prepare
ton for his historical work, Doctor
Dixon has returned from an intimate
four months study of the entire west
ern battlefrontS of Belgium and
France, in which he covered more than
$500 miles of travel and took more
than LOO photographs. Before he
started he had been supplied by Cen
eral Pershing with large map, which
showed that American Indians had
fought in every one of the twenty-eight
main battle sectors from the North
sea to the Alps.
Oklahombi, it is reported, will be
featured by Doctor Dixon in his book
Another of his Indian war heroes is
Corporal Walter S. Sevalia, a Chip
pewa Indian of the Seventh engineers,
Fifth division, upon whose breast Mar
shall Petain himself pinned the Croix
de Guerre Sevalia swan the Meuse,
carrying a cable for a pontoon, under

day he was severely wounded while
repeating the same feat in the swim
ming of the broad and swiftly flowing

RECORD HELD BY MATHEWS0N
Former Giant Pitcher Is Credited
With 1920 Strikeouts in

While the historians are arguing
about what pitcher holds the record
for greatest number of strikeouts it
may be of interest to know that the
National league record is held by
Christy Mathewson, who Is credited
with 2,290 during his career in the old
league. Matty never was spectacular

cumulated a lot of them nevertheless.

country. Previous to that time quite
a number Of people made a consider
able income by filing little piece off
each gold and silver coin that passed
through their hands. Things became
so bad that coins often lost a quarter
of their weight within few months
of issue. Even the strictest laws and
the most terrible punishments failed
to stop the practice, and our coinage
became hopelessly debased. Milling
coins put an end to it at once, for
you cannot clip or file a milled piece
without giving the show away.
