The probable lineup:
TOPEKA 3, OTTAWA 0
Boyd's Drop Kick Only Score to
Last Quarter.

The crushing attack of the Topeka
high school eleven was wearing down
the resistance of the Ottawa team in
the football game on Washburn field
this afternoon and Topeka was in the
lead, to 0, at the end of the third
quarter.
The three points were made in the
first period when Boyd sent the ball
sailing between the goal posts from
drop kick on the twenty-five yard line.
Topeka kept the ball in Ottawa's
territory most of the first half. Very
little forward passing was attempted.
Only one pass was completed. Topeka
advanced within twenty yards of OF
tawa's goal in the second period, but
failed to reach the remaining distance
Moffet, Ottawa, left half back, was
playing the best game for the visitors.
The Ottawa high school team won
its opening game last Saturday from
Wellsville high school, 81 to 0. The
absence of Harris. quarterback. who

SAY MURDER DUE TO A PLOT
Officers Learn Killing of Pastor and
Singer Was Carefully Planned.

New Brunswick, N J., Oct. 14.-Evi-
dence has been found, it was learned

that a carefully planned plot resulted
in the double murder of Rev. DIR. Ed

of st. John the Evangelist, and his
beautiful choir leader, Mrs. James
Mills, whose bodies were found upon a
deserted farm two miles from this city
four weeks ago today.
The vitriolic attack of Mrs. Frances
Hall, widow of the slain clergyman

announced today that the board would
conduct a broad investigation of the
fire, its causes and all circumstances
connected with it.
The United States department OF
commerce will also conduct an IN

ton service. This board of investiga-
ton will render formal findings.
Due to Bad Wiring.
All reports received here SO far in
dicate that the fire started in the.
second cabin section and was due to
a short circuit in the electric wiring
probably due to defective wiring.
Due to the fact that the City of
Honolulu-formerly the German liner
Frederick der Grosse-is the third or
the former German liners assigned to
the Pacific coast to figure in serious
mishaps, it is believed the investiga-
ton will be unusually thoro.
The Mount Vernon, formerly the
Kronprinzessen Cecile, had a long
series of breakdowns while in use as
transport to Siberia, and the EN-
press of Australia, formerly the Won
Tirpitz. had to put back to port a
few days ago when it was found her
main shaft was out of line.
Whether the City of Honolulu can
be salvaged will not be known until
the fire dies sufficiently to permit her
to be boarded.

New Haven, Oct. 1.-THE unof-
ficial championship of the Jones
family and of those sections or organ
lied football which attracted greatest
popular interest was at stake in to-
days intersectiona1 game in the Yale
bowl between Yale and the University
of Iowa.
Last years championship eleven of
the western conference, coached by
Howard S. Jones, came 800 miles to
play a member of the big three" of
the east. which defeated one and lost
to the other member of the Prince
ton-Harvard-Ya triangle, last sea-
son. and which is coached by Tad
Jones. Howard's brother.
Preparations were made for an un-
precedented mid season crowd of
$4,000 eager for a game of thrills.
Confident predictions of victory by
paEtisans led neutrals to believe the
result would be in doubt till the last
whistle blew.
Each a Yale Player.
Interest in the game was increased
by the fact that Howard and Tad
played on the same eleven at Yale,
one a substitute end and the other an
laIl-Amer!can quarterback, and by the
fact that each has been the only Yale
coach in recent years whose pupils
have attained the summit of Yale foot
ball ambitions and defeated Harvard
in the seasons climax
Rivalry of brothers is nothing new
in Yale football, but it is a painful
recollection. Two years ago a Yale
eleven. captained by Tim Callahan,
was defeated by brother Mikes
Princeton team 20 to 0. Thousands
of western conference Alumni, many
of them in New Haven today, hoped
for an Iowa victory. Harvard and
Princeton men naturally wanted Yale
to wins but out in Excello. Ohio. one
football follower, interested in the
game as much as anybody, said she
would like a scoreless tie. She was

Many an argument In comparison
of mid-western and eastern football
probably will arise from the result OF
today'S game, for such interSectiona1
clashes in the future seem doomed
There is no national agreement for q
world series in college football such
as there is in organized baseball and
both the western conference and the
big three" have frowned upon any
distant trips for intersectional games
in the future.
