C. OF C. WINS FROM NORMAL
Teachers Took Long End of to
Score Thursday.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. IA perfect
season record and the conference
championship went glimmering here
Thursday afternoon for Kansas State
normal, when the College of Emporia
eleven, least OF all expected teams to
win over the Yellowjackets, took the
long end of a to 2 score. The
Teachers apparently were surprised by
the attack launched by the doughty
little Presbyterian eleven, which had
lost a game to Sterling, which had
been rated as one of the weakest
teams in the conference.
while the normal eleven outplayed
the Coach Gwin Henry crew in a num-
Der of respects, the college had plenty
of fight, and took advantage of the
breaks in the form of fumbles. 1t was
the upset of the Kansas conference,
and by this defeat and the win of
Paker over Ottawa, 40 to 0, the Baker
eleven takes the championship of the
conference.
College OF Emporia scored in the
second period when Studebaker fell on
the ball behind his own goal line. The
ball had been taken down the field
on a long end run by Grant, star back
field man for the PresbyterianS, and
a tumble was made, which rolled over
the goal line Studebaker recovered
for the counter.
WorI, College quarter, netted
safety when he was tackled behind his
own goal line rather than risk punt
against the strong wind.

ALLEN TO RETURN TO WICHITA.
Governor Has Abandoned His Plan to
Attend Legislative Session.

Governor Allen has abandoned his
plans to remain in Topeka during the
legislative session. Rather the plan
seems to have come in for a veto at
the hands of members of the COVER
nor's household. The governor has
announced that he is going back to
Wichita the night of the inaugural.
On several occasions recently the
governor has indicated to press repre-
sentatives that he might conclude to
spend the winter in Topeka to cover
the legislature as a correspondent for
his Wichita Beacon. His interest in
remaining, naturally, was in the fight
to save the industrial court law. In
the last few days, tho, the governor
has told the newspaperr men that his
original plan has been set aside and
that he going back to his old home
town as soon as his term as state ex-
ecutive ends.
