PLAY IN The Mud
Ten Western Conference Teams
Meet Today.
Weight and Experience to Show
in Final Scores.

Chicago. Nov. 19.-On muddy grid
irons the ten western conference
teams meet today to decide final places
in the 1921 standing. with prospects
that championship honors will be
split between Ohio state and Iowa
university.
These are the only indicated
teams and unless unexpected strength
is shown by their opponents, should
finish with clean states. Ohio state
meets Illinois at Columbus and Iowa
plays northwestern at Chicago. A tie
for runner-up also is in prospect,
Chicago and Michigan having lost one
game to date.
Michigan appears certain of victory
today over Minnesota but the MarOOnS
have a more difficult task against
Wisconsin. The Badgers with only
tie against their record, would retain
second place in the event of victory
at Chicago today
Coaches at all the big ten schools
have taken especial care of the play
ing fields the past few days, but Slip

able. The advantage this condition
Will give to weight and experience is
more evident, perhaps, in the Ohio
State-Illinois contest than in the other
matches.
almost even as regards avoirdupois.
while Iowa and Michigan are strong
faVOrites under any conditions, bar
ring breaks of luck. Altho Indiana
has lost both conference games, while
Purdue has won one, the former are
favorites in their meeting today.
With Capt. Aubrey Devine, one of
the leading conference point winners,
and FuHback Locke in first class trim,
the Hawkeyes seem certain of victory
over Northwestern today, as the latter
team has lost every conference game
this season, Ohio State was expected
to have a harder battle, for Illinois,
the opponent of the Buckeyes today,

HoD to Break Into the
1foOies- Director LIE Witt
Says Anyone Has Chance

Many persons have the erroneous
idea that it takes beauty, experience
and a political pull to place them In
stardom, before the camera, but that
is entirely without foundation. Many
directors would rather tale a person
who has never acted than one from
the stage. They are more natural in
their acting and expressions while the
experienced actor has studied express
sions and there is a degree of self
consciousness that ruins the effect.
Personality Counts.
Personality and charm go a long
way in making a movie star One
must have brains coupled with their
good looks to make a success in film
dom. One little act in a mon scene on
the part of an ordinary applicant, or
binary in the sense that they are try
ing to break into the game, has sent
more than one actor on the road to
stardom and the lead in many big
pictures.
There are many who copy the
style of other actors and actresses
but these never get very far As u
rule they hang on and manage to
handle the unimportant parts; but
when a real star is wanted, 1ndividuT
ality and intelligence are the first
requirements. Even at that. the
extras make more than the average
clerk or salesman as they draw from
day.
Age Is No Bar,
age is no bar, neither Is expert
ence as has been shown in many i'm
stances where older people who have
never had any experience Whatever.
have risen to prominence IN the film
world
Some would have you believe that
the game is overcrowded; but such is
not the case. New actors and ac-
tresses are always in demand and one
half per cent of the 100000 in the
movies have been recruited from the
stage"

Drill FOR TIGERS
Practice Instead of Game for
JayhaWks Today.
Kansas Line Expected to Hold
MissourianS.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 19.-Practice
instead of a football game faced the
University of Kansas squad today for
the first Saturday in several weeks.
The usual weekly game is omitted to-
day in order that the Jayhawkers may
receive further grooming for the bat
tie coming up with the University Of
Missouri clan on the new Stadium
field here Thanksgiving afternoon.
The K. U. warriors have been work
ing hard this weeR to round out their
play in such manner as to afford
plenty of competition for the Tiger
team on Turkey Day. The Jayhawk-
ers came out of the mix with the
heavy Nebraska team at Lincoln a
week ago with all bones whole, and
the most of the early part of this
week was given over to taking out the
stiffness incident to the beating de-
livered by the Cornhuskers. How
ever, the Kansas rooters are feeling
that their team made a creditabIe
showing against the Nebraslans de-
expected Kansas to be beaten by a
bigger score. The-KansaS line proved
a tough proposition for even Nebraska
and rooters are confident that a team
that can hold the we.ghty Huskers for
downs on the one-yard line has real
stuff for any team to battle.
The record favors the Tigers in the
coming struggle, as the Missouri
eleven beat Oklahoma "a to IA while
the Oklahomans beat Kansas "a to Z
It must also be remembered, however
that the Kansas Aggies beat Missouri
to while K. U. beat the Aggies 21
to 7. In light of the fact that K. U
victory over the Aggies was an ear
lier game than the Missouri triumph
over the Soonerss it would seem that
the Tigers have a slightly stronger
team. But comparative scores are
not worth a whole lot in football and
especially is this true in Kansas
Missouri battle. Both teams put their
best into this struggle and the scores
of either in former games of the sea-
son are no indication of the play to
be expected from either on Thanks
giving day.
The first scrimmage for K. U. this
week was held on Wednesday and was
a snappy affair. The Varsity took
the freshmen down the field in good
shape. Just what the K. U. lineup
Will be for the Thanksgiving fray has
not been announced by the coaches
but there was some indication thruout
the practice of the week that there is
to be a shake-up in the ineups that
have started for Kansas in the games
of the season.
Practice is scheduled to continue
the first two days of next week with
a light signal drill for the Wednesday
before the game.

TO HOLD AUCTIONS
Series of Twenty Sales Planned
by State Association.
Bring Buyer and Seller To-
gether at Minimum Cost.

In order to bring the buyer and
seller of stecker ana feeder cattle to-
gether, eliminating costly transporta-
tion and other marketing expenses.
The Kansas Live Stock association Will
hold a series of about twenty auction
sales this winter in various parts Of
the state.
This announcement was made to-
day by c. L. Daughters, editor of the
Kansas Stoekman, official publication
of the livestock association. 1t fol-
lows the success of a test sale at EN-
peria last week in which 1900 cattle
were sold for a total OF approximately
$4,000, or $50 a head including
calves. Nearly 1000 cattlemen at
tended the sale. Mr.. Daughters estf-
mates the average saving to the buyer
and seHer of from IS to $40 on each
animal. Most of the buyers were
within q radius of fifty miles of En-
poria and drove their cattle home in
order to save freight.
The second sale will be held at Nc
