KANSAS DRY
 WHEAT BELT ! IS FLOODED
Near Cloudbursts Cause High Water-People
 Flee in Darkness

HAYS, Kansas, July 30.-Flood conditions prevailed today in a comparatively dry wheat belt in Western and Central Kansas fol- lowing near cloudbursts in several sections.
 Although 300 families were forced to flee from their homes in the darkness of the night when the swiftly moving waters inundated the region, no loss of life is reported.
 The property damage is esti- mated at several hundred thou sand dollars.
 The water is six feet deep in the buildings of the Kansas State Teachers College and the water also entered the Union Pa cific Station. Only the second story of many houses are above the water. About one third of this town is under water and the absence of any boats in Hays made necessary hastily improvised rafts while women and children were carried from their homes on the mems backs.
 Most of the fashionable homes are located in the second inun- dated.
 Thousands of bushels of wheat in the elevators are soaked and sacked wheat is also reported nearly raiacd ~ e

Best In East
Face Strong
Foes onGrid
Outstanding EIeVenS to Get
Test From Powerful
Opponents.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Crucial
tests await the football forces of
Army, Yale, Dartmouth and Penn
sylvania along the eastern battle
front Saturday. Rated among the
eastern leaders this season, these
four teams will have chance to
prove they deserve the early season
compliments paid them.
The Army plays Harvard at Cam
bridge, Yale plays Brown at New
Haven, Dartmouth plays Columbia
at Hanover and Pennsylvania plays
Penn State at Philadelphia.
The Army and Yale have won
two notable intersectional victories,
but have yet to prove their mettle
against strong opposition in their
own section. The Cadets beat S.
M. u, IA to 10, two weeks ago and
Yale beat Georgia a week ago, 81
to 6.
The Two Best?
Both big, powerful eleyens, Army
and Yale shape up as the casts two
outstanding teams and indications
point to their meeting week from
Saturday at New Haven as one Of
the big games-of the eastern season.
Four interSectional games are on
Saturdays schedule for eastern
teams. Syracuse and Colgate go
west to play Nebraska and Michi-
gan State, respectively.
West Virginia, which upset Pitts
burgh last week, engages in the an
nual contest with Washington and
Lee at Charleston, w. Va. The
game ended in 6-6 tie last year.
Navy Plays Duke
In the other intersectional game
Duke plays the Navy at Annapolis.
The Navy won last year. 80 to 6, but
has yet to win a game this season.
After the disappointing tie with
Virginia, Princeton will get a chance
to recover this week against little
Lehigh, already beaten by Gettys-
burg. The Carnegie Tech-W. and J.
game at Pittsburgh may turn out to
be a stiff struggle.
Other games find New York uni
yersity meeting Rutgers at New
York, Fordham playing Holy Cross
at Worcester, Pittsburgh engaging

power in the second half netted
three touchdownS.
Except for a minute in the second
half when Cummins took a Short
ridge kickoff and ran seventy yards
for a touchdown, the Terre Haute
team was battling up hill Short
ridge took advantage of every
opening.
S. H. S. Defense Good
Garfield gained much yardage in
the opening half in exchange of
punts and Shortridge was called
upon to put up some great defensive
work inside the ten-yard line to
stop potential Terre Haute scores.
The first half ended o to o.
Hardly had the third quarter
opened when Garfield fumbled
punt and Shortridge recovered on
the courtyard line. A couple of
plunges and Bullet was over. Comp
ton carried the ball over for the
extra point.
Long Pass Scores
Garfield again fumbled on the
30-yard line and some off, tackle
smashes and a long and beautiful
pass, Stewart to Ennis, over the line,
netted the Blue another score, but
the point after touchdown tried by
a pass, failed. Between these two
tou6hdowns Garfield inserted the
long run by Cummins,' but a try
for point by kicking failed.
The Shortridgers made their third
touchdown In the fourth quarter
when Compton cut back on an off
tackle smash and twisted and
lodged his way thirty yards through
the Garfield warriors! Try for point
failed. Inclement weather held down
attendance to $500.
