older than

yet very few
outside of
those vho have learned from bitter ex
perience know anything of it nature or
characteristics. At first a little ulcer or
sore appears, then glands of the neck or
groins swell ;' pimples break out on the
breast, back or some other part of the
body and fill with yellow pustular matter ;
the mouth and throat become sore and
the tongue is at all times badly coated.
Headaches are.frequent, and muscles and
joints throb and hurt, especially during
damp, rainy weather. These are some of
the symptoms of that most loathsome of
all diseases, Contagious Blood Poison.

Topeka Medics and Atchison
Athletic CInb
To Engage in Contest on Wash
burn Field Saturday.
TOPEKA TEAM STRONG.
Several New Men Will Appear
In the Line Up.
"Bob" Stewart's Fractured
Shoulder Keeps Him Out.
. The football team of the Kansas
Medical college of Topeka will play the
team of the Atchison Athletic club of
Atchison on' Washburn field here Sat
urday, -November 2. The game is sara
to be interesting. The Atchison team
is reputed to be a strong aggregation of
old players. The Kansas Medics have
been strengthened considerably since
the St. Marys game and practice by the
college team has been good.
- The strength of the team has been
augmented by the addition of D. J. B.
Freeman, chief surgeon of the Santa
Fe hospital here, who will have a place
in the line. Freeman Is a lecturer at the
Medical college and played on the team
of the Rush Medical college at Chicago
at the time he was studying medicine.
He weighs 200 pounds and hia entrance
into the team will be a wonderful
help.
The team wiU be strengthened at full
by the addition of "Jim" Hughes, who
made quite a reputation at half bacu:
on the Washburn team a few years
ago. Hughes was to have enterel
school here earlier in the year but was
detained in Colorado on account of bus
iness and has just entered school. He
has been out to practice and will play
full in the Saturday game. Hughe
had the reputation of being the best
line bucker in the state at the time he
played with Washburn.
Another player who will be In the
game here in the future is Cole, an old
K. U. man. Cole has been in school
but until recently could not be induced
to enter the game. He will undoubt
edly play one of the ends.
Arthur Griggs, who 1s at present
playing on the Topeka high school team
at half, contemplates taking pharmacy
at the Medical college and will be on
the field for practice. He will try for a
place on the team after the Saturday
game. He is a good player and would
strengthen the "doctor's" back field.
The ends will be chosen from the
three candidates. Cole, Stahl and La
kin. Stahl is a good man at any place
on the team and may be played behind
the line. Kiene will play tackle as will
also Hinkle. Clark and Stilson will be
found at their old places as guards.
"Jimmy" Stewart will play as quarter
back and Frisby will be found in tno
center.
Henshaw and Jackson are two new
men who are trying for the halves.
They have been on the field for practice
and may be allowed a trial. Klene is
acting captain of the team. An election
will be held after the Saturday game.
"Bob" Stewart is still out of the
game. He received a fracture of the:
shoulder blade in the St. Marys game
and has been unable to play since. He
will probably be able to get into the
game with the Kansas City Dentals,
who play here November 9.
WESTERN TEAMS IMPROVE.
Three Leading Football Elevens Are
Top Notchers.
Chicago, Oct. 30. That football In the
large universities west of the Alleghanies
has reached the standard set by Tale,
Harvard and Princeton no one who fol
lows closely the play In both sections
will deny. Tale last fall had a great
team, perhaps superior to any western
eleven, but Minnesota was close behind
her, and with Iowa and Wisconsin form
ed a trio that was the peer of any three
eastern teams. This fall the west seems,
at midaeason, to be in advance of the
east.
Michigan may have developed more
rapidly than the eastern teams, but on
present form she should prove more
than a match for Tale or Harvard.while
Minnesota and Wisconsin could dispose
of the next best eastern teams. The de
velopment in the west this year is tend
ing again toward the offensive play,
as shown by the large scores. Defense
has been neglected in nearly every case,
but from now until the close of the sea
son coaches will attempt to protect their
own goal lines.
Wisconsin has a back field that will
make her opponents trouble in every
game. Larson and Driver, when inter
fering for Cochems, make a hard pair
to get through, a much harder pair. In
fact, than Cochems and Driver inter
fering for Larson. Mr. King must, how
ever, develop a better defense if he ex
pects to stop the heavy Minnesota of
fense. K. TJ. BRACES UP.
Playa Beloit Eleven to a Standstill,
Neither Team Scoring'.
Beloit, Wis., Oct 30. The foot ball
team of the University of Kansas play
ed the strong Beloit college eleven to n
standstill Tuesday afternoon on Beloii
field, the final score being 0 to 0. The
Kansans deserved to win. They played
the best foot ball and lost the game by
fumbling, twice losing the ball when a.
touchdown seemed certain. It was a
very hard fought battle, abounding in
strong, accurate plays, interspersed
with a number of end runs. It was full
of excitement and kept the spectators
on edge all the time. The Beloit team
seemed confident of winning, having
held Notre Dame down to six points In
Saturday's game which placed them in
the same class with Chicago and North
western. This game showed Kansas up
In much better light than Saturday's
game and placed them beyond a doubt
in the same class with Beloit. The Wis
consin college has been strengthened
considerable by the addition of new
players since their defeat by Wisconsin
two weeks ago, when they were beaten
by a less score than was Kansas by the
same team. In this game the Jayhawk
ers again showed their superiority In
their line bucking, ploughing through
Beloit's line for gains of two to five
yards. The Kansas line held like a
stone wall, Beloit being unable to go
though it for much gain. During the
entire game Kansas advanced the ball
112 yards to 88 for Beloit, exclusive of
punts which was resorted to a great
deal by both teams. Beloit excelled in
this respect. The teams were evenly
matched as to weight.
At 3:30 E. Merrill kicked off for Be
loit, Captain Jenkinson returned the
ball fifteen yards. Kansas then began
a hammering of the line and by their
famous euards' haclr flnri tnflrlA Ktiolra
I carried the ball down the field for six-
ty-five yards to Beloit's ten yard line
"-where it waa lost on a, fumble. During
this half the ball was in Beloit's terri
tory thirteen of the fifteen minutes
play. Once again in this half Kansas
carried the ball down to the fifteen yard
line where it was again lost on a fum
ble, this territory seemed to be unlucky
for Kansas. In the second half Beloit
braced up and Kansas did not make
their usual gains. Beloit punted the
ball to the Jayhawkers' two yard Hue
when Kansas, by a magnificent burst
of strength, shoved them back twenty
yards before losing the ball on downs.
Once more Beloit tried for gains but
lost the ball to Kansas on downs when
time was called and the game ended
with the ball in Kansas possession. For
Beloit, E. Merrill, McRae and Crane
played the best game. For Kansas it
would be hard to pick out the stars, all
of them doing yeomen service. The
boys were pretty badly used up, Dodda
and Louthan being used so much to
hammer the line that they are one mass
of bruises. Buzzi had a rib fractured
and Brumage secured a broken thumb.
The Jayhawkers left this morning for
home, stopping over in Chicago one
day, arriving in Lawrence Thursday
noon.
Officials: Referee-rKilpatrlck. Um
pire Fisher. Timekeepers Outland and
Salmon. Linesmen Harshberger and
Partridge. Time of halves 15 and 20
minutes.
THOUSANDS OF BUCKS.
Hunters in the North Haying Great
Sport Now.
St. Paul. Oct. 30. Duck and geese
hunters have been getting the best of
shooting this week wherever lakes or
sloughs are to be found. Warmer weath
er followed the frosts of last week and
the birds have halted In their flight
south, settling down in thousands in the
timber, sheltered lakes and marshes.
Geese that came down from the north
last week, and there are a great many
of them, have been flying north again,
an indication of an open and warm fall,
according to old hunters.
Duck shooting under the conditions
that have prevailed this week is much
like shooting pigeons in a farmyard
they are so numerous. A party or St
Paul sportsmen returned today from
Lake Milan, on the western border of
the state, near Lake Traverse. This is
quite a large body of water, through
which flows the Minnesota river, and
some estimate may be gained of the
number of ducks in that locality from
the reports they bring home. Sunday
forenoon canvas backs and mallards set
tied down on the lake, covering the sur
face for a mile and a half in length by
150 vards in width. They were so close
ly located that it was impossible to dis
cover any water between them at a dis
tance of a quarter of a mile from the
shore.
WHITNEY HAS BIO PLANS.
He Hopes to Make the Saratoga Track
Finest in the World.
Saratoga, N. T., Oct. 30. William C.
Whitney, president of the Saratoga Rac
ing association, purposes making the

Besides the plans already adopted for
improving and beautifying the park ad
ditional ones are understood to be in
contemplation and will soon be made
public.
Dahlen to St. Louis.
New Tork, Oct. 30. It would not be a
surprise to the Brooklyn baseball con
tingent if Bill Dahlen were found with
the St. Louis American Leaguers newt
season. Negotiations are under way at
present looking toward that result.
Dahlen and the Brooklyn club differ
over the salary question to the extent
of $200 and the officials refuse to in
crease their offer 1 cent. Dahlen, like
Daly, is out for the money andi vill prob
ably give an attentive ear to the Ameri
can League people provided the offer Is
surrounded by copper-lined, riveted and
rock-bottomed certainty as to Dahlen
getting the salary.
Nebraska and Wisconsin Next.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 30. The defeat of
the Iowa Agriculturists of Ames on Sat
urday by Nebraska has put the Corn-
huskers on edge for the crucial contest
against the Badgers next Saturday at
Milwaukee. Iowa university was only
able to best the Ames Farmers, a week
earlier, by a score of 12 to 0, and Ne
braska exceeded the score of Coach
Knipe's proteges by a touchdown,, win
ning by 17 to 0. A muddy field, in spots
half to the ankles, made fast playing
impossible, and kept down the score.
With a dry field Coach Booth of Ne
braska asserts his pupils can score over
half a dozen touchdowns on Ames.
Racing at Latonia.
Cincinnati, Oct. 30. The star event of
the racing at Latonia was the mile
handicap. The race resulted m a vic
tory for John McCarthy, at odds of ted
to one. Henry Bert, the favorite, was
third. Jockeys Miller and Jackson
fought each other with their whips
down the back stretch in this race and
the judges are investigating the cause
of the trouble.
Jockey Cash was thrown Into the
fence on Lady Ezell while at the post
in the opening event and the horse was
scratched. The boy was not hurt.
Weather fine; track fast.
