In fairness to Coach A. B. Mackie
of Kansas Wesleyan and his players,
it is only just to look at both sides of
the argument which developed in the
Kansas Paramount game at
Wichita last week. Mackfe withdrew
his players from the field following
what he thought was poor job of Of
Floating on the part of the officials.
Before going into details concerning
the game, the writer wishes to reiter-
ate the stand taken when the question
came up.
Under no conditions should a coach
quit cold, withdraw his men and for
1elt game, unless uncontrolled vio-
lence on the part of the spectators ne
cessitated the rout.
In a statement issued from the
sanctum of the Salina college, Mackie
claims the discussion was one that
lasted thru the entire game, due, he
says, to the poor officiating upon the
part of officials. and the actions of
Lamar Hoover, Paramount coach.
The game from the beginning was
not conducted in such manner as to
give any dignity to collegiate ath-
letes,'' Mackie writes.
That, however, is not his entire ar
gument. Paramount punt, in the
first quarter, scared over the Sa!ina
goal line, aided by a strong wind, AMI
Pring!e declared a Wesleyan player
touched the ball in an attempt TO
block the kick. Paramount ends feIi
on the ball over the Salina goal line.
Pringle awarded the touchdown.
Mackie claims that no Salina player
touched the ball. Referee PringIe,
aided by spectators of the game and
several sporting writers who were
present, maintain the ball was touched
by the Salina man.
Mackie raises another point of issue
on the conduct of coaches. He claims
that Lamar Hoover, known as an eff
cient man, rushed on the field with
out the referees permission, and be-
gan a violent argument with both the
officials and Mackie. He adds fur
Their that he (Mackie) was on the
field only once during the game for a
conference with the referee and that
he had permission to come on the
field and spoke only a half dozen
words"
Reports from Wichita say that both
| Mackie, Pringle and Hoover were con-
sulting rule books, and raising quite
some rumpus during different parts
of the game.
The play that terminated the game
came in the third quarter, after much
dissension, litigation and uncalled for
| discussion.
AS reported in a telephone CONVEX
| sation to US on the night of the game
| by Wichita sports writer, Paramount
had the ball at a point not far from

Your system is continually taking
in nutrition and throwing off waste
products. This process goes on all
during life. But, sometimes the or
gans do not properly function and
these waste products, instead of pass
ing out through the pores of the skin,
through the kidneys and through the
alimentary canal, are absorbed in the
blood. Then the blood becomes pois-

MOTHER! Clean CHILD'S BOWELS
With CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP"

Even a sick child loves the "fruity"
taste of California Fig Syrup" If the
little tongue is coated. Or if your child
is Iistless, cross, feverish, full of cold,
or has collie, give a teaspoonful to
cleanse the liver and bowels. In a few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly it works all the constipa-
ton poison, sour bile and waste out of

the Salina action. We do not believe
Hoover would so far lose his sense of
craftsmanship as to act as Mackfe
alleges. Still, there is some justifica-
ton for the Salina howl. Mackie ad-
mits lack of control over his play
ers, when he asserts they attempted
to literally attack Hoover.

The entire thing is disgraceful. If
two schools cannot meet each other in
football, under conditions of friendly
rivalry, football for those two schools
should be abolished.
Not only does it mar Farm cunt and
Salina as to craftsmanship and con-
duct, but the good name of the Kan
sas conference is also a sufferer. And
the conference does have a good name.
A rules committee functions in
every conference for just such differ
ences as these. Let each coach sub
nit his side of the argument to the
committee. 1t is the job of the rules
committee to adjust such differences,
and they will do so.
But for the good of football, this
Idisgraceful brawling on the field
Eshould be absolutely stopped.

Coaches Ream and He'll are opti-
| mistic concerning the Saturday con-
! tIct.
| Heavy Irwin is back, after an abb
| SINCE Of two games due to a broken
hand. Lahnoe Euler. halfback. is
again in the lineup after a weeks rest
| enforced by injuries. Maurice Seev-
ers will work at halfback again Sat-
! urday. He, also. has been on the side
| lines with an injured shoulder. Mar
vim Stevens. who played the Pittsburg
game with fever of 100, got out of
bed few nights ago and is in uni
form.
SANDY Crawford, fast, speedy and
crafty end of 1913, is making strong
| try for quarterback. 1t is more than
a probability that Crawford will gen.
era1 the team Saturday, with Stevens
at left end. Dale Sharp will take a
| halfback, with Art Brewster at full.
Close followers of Washburn believe
| that Ream has found the winning
| combination.
They maintain that Crawford is the
| logical quarterback, and that Stevens
| at end is a find. Brewster, Sewers,
and Sharp or Euler are maturing at
their respective backfield positions.
| Now for the line.
1t has shown nothing to date.
| That, however, cannot be taken for a
sure criterion that it cannot.
1t is safe to believe that when a
championship line for one season is
| like a stone-wall, It will not crumble
| like rotten mortar the next season,
| especially when, end for end, the line
is the same. Might it not be a case
of several things that made the line
refuse to hold, including egotism, in
difference, entertaining or other all
| ments?
All these can be corrected, however,
and the fans believe that the two de-
| feats and the tied score did the bust
ness.
Saturdays game might be the turn
| ing point.

Football carries with it an insidious
germ. The germ is one which gets
into the blood, like all other germs,
only the football germ sometimes does
vastly more damage.
After watching football for a few
weeks this season, several ex-college
players in Topeka and other towns
have decided that to watch without
participating, is agony.
So they organized a football league.
The Sweeney Auto School, of Kan
sas City, No, the Knights of Column
bus, also of Kansas City, the Topeka
Santa Fe and the St Joseph club arc
members and intend to play every
Sunday for a championship. The
league has not been named
The first game will be played in
Topeka Sunday afternoon. October 80,
between the Sweeneys and Topeka
Santa Fe, probably at Western league
park, altho the Santa Fe men are try
ing desperately to get the use of
Washburn field.
Five ex-college players are playing
with the Santa Fe men. They are:
| Don Mckinley, Basil Church. Lee
| Wyckoff, Punk Simpson and Orville
Anderson. Ad Lindsay, freshman
coach of K. U, may play with the
| Santa Fe men. w. E. Bender is man
ager of the team.

That Washburn may stage a real
comeback in the battle with Baker U.
on Washburn field Saturday is the
belief of fans who have watched the
Ichabods put thru the traces by Ream
and He'll the nights of this week.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that Washburn has hit her stride,
altho a few are still dubious about it.
AS far as the dope is concerned, Ba-
ker is slated to beat the Ichabods by
several touchdowns. Pittsburg Nor
mails p1owed thru the Washburn men
at will, and won % to Z. Baker fought
nobly in the game a week later with
Pittsburg, but the Pittsburg men held
Baker 0 to O. Mind, the Pittsburg
men were on defense practically dur
ing the entire game. Baker was do
ing the rushing.
But dope has never amounted to
much, and this year the dope kettle
has been kicked about SO roughly that
practically no dope is left.
Upsets have occurred every Satur-
day, the worms persist in turning and
inconsequential teams beat strong
ones.

Pearls and Rubies.

Pearl" Is thought by some writer's
to come from the Latin "pirula,"
meaning "a little pear" because so
many fine pearls were pear-shaped.
ruby" Is thought to have been so
called from "ruber." the Latin for
"red." but II may be that the word
''ruber," meaning red. was derived
from the pame of the ruby.
