With the Ottawa game called off tl.e re
remains but one game on the Wash
burn schedule. The last game on the
home schedule has been played and the
efforts of Coach Weede will be devoted
to getting his men in shape for Ihe
game with Bennie Owens' Sooners at
Oklahoma City Thanksgiving. The
calling off of the Ottawa game will
get the men in better shape for the
long trip to Oklahoma City. This is the
first time Washburn has ever played
in Oklahoma City -and the result of the
game is watched with much interest.
A large crowd from Topeka will pro
bably accompany the team to Oklaho
ma City. A good rate has been offeied
by the Santa Fe providing a sufficient
number can be secured to make the
tr!i.
The negotiations which have been
pending between Manager Lansdon of
Kansas and Coach Delaney of the
Kansas City Athletic club for some time
with a view of scheduling post season
gams between these two teams have
been called off. Kansas refuses to play
a postseason game as they never have
done so and such a move is not neces
sitated from financial reasons. Kansas
has broke even on the season so far
and with the big Missouri game at
Kansas City Thanksgiving they will
come out away ahead.
The only game Tvhich will be played
in Topeka next Saturday will be the
game between the Topeka and Law
rence high school teams. It has been
sometime since the local high school
team has had a game scheduled for
Topeka and they have not played here
since the early part of the season. They
have a good team and have lost but one
game this season which was to asn
burn in the opening game.
Bennie Owens, of the Oklahoma uni
versity team, has written a challenge
to Coach Bates of the Fairmount team
asking for a game between the teams
of the two schools on Christmas day
The challenge is now before the athlet
ic authorities of Fairmount. The game
will probably be played as Coach Bates
of the Fairmount team is willing. The
game will in all probability be played
in Oklahoma City providing a guarah
tee can be furnished the school on lh'
outskirts of Wichita. In commenting
on the prospects for the game the fun
ny man on one of the W ichita papers
has been doing a little overtime work
Here is what he says of the proposed
game: "The game would, if played,
decide the championship of two states,
and possibly three, as Fairmount de
feated Washburn, the eleven that tied
Colorado." The attention of the Wich
ita dopester Is called to the score of
the Fairmount-St. Mary's game which
resulted in favor of the Catholics to
the tune of 6 to 0. i, Washburn defeat
ed the Catholics by . a score of . 42 to 0.
St. Louis Republic: There is little
worry expressed in the St. Louis uni
versity camp over the Iowa, university
battle on Turkey ds, yet the players
n re not afflioted jwith tliat. dreadful dis
ease of '''overc6nfideri.ee.'',. "Many of th.e
football enthusiasts ..who' witnessed the
big game with Iowa last year hold that
it was overconfidence that defeated the
Blue and White, with the result that
Cochems is taking ample precautions to
keep the deadly insect out of his camp.
Whether he will succeed or not re
mains to be seen, but the Iowa follow
ers continue to wager odds on the
Iowans. Considerable money has been
placed during the last two days at 7 to
5, with Iowa the favorite.
It must be awfully humiliating to a
state university to lose the champion
ship of their state but this is exactly
what is happening to Missouri univer
sity. Last aSturday Washington uni
versity of St. Louis turned the trick by
the score of 12 to 0. Missouri was out
played from start to finish and never
had a look In. The result of the Kan-sas-Missouri
game at ' Kansas City
Thanksgiving day according to present
dope will have no reason to change the
time honored custom of years past.
The onlv remaining collegiate game
which will be played in Topeka this
year is the game between Ottawa and
St Mary's Thanksgiving day. This
tra'me will be played at the Western
association ball park, which will insure
good street car service and protection
from the cold in me evem umi me

a score of 10 to 0. The Mormons made
two touchdowns and as the game was
played on a muddy field the score of
the I'tah team was greatly reduced.
The Colorado team has but one more
game on its schedule, which is with the
School of Mines on Thanksgiving day.
The team has so far this season played

to discourage a man endowed with rr.cre
of the never say die spirit than Bennie
Owen is. But in the face of one dis
aster after another he has kept plug
ging along as calmly and collectedly
as though his team was runnins' up
top heavy scores in every game. The
regular backs have been comnelled to
watch substitutes run through the new
formations, while they limp up and
down the field nursing their bruises and
cursing the ill luck that had forced
them out of the game. And the fact
that Owen has been forced to use sub
stitutes in trying out his pet plays hag
been a great handicap to him, for it if
difficult to tell just how they will pan
out until the regular backs can exe
cute them. Owen has presented iuite
an elaborate set of formations for the
forward pass and the very variety of
methods he has devised for pulling off
the much talked of play are calculated
to make it. doubly effective and bewil
dering. The flurry caused by the an
nouncement that the Thanksgiving
game with Washburn might be trans
ferred to Topeka might well be termed
"Much Ado About Nothing," for that
plan has been abandoned and the stud
ents again certain of seeing their fa
vorites close the season at home or very
near there. Coach Owen is bending ev
ery effort to bring the season to a close
with a victory that the school will be
proud of. He is on a still hunt ror an
"automatic dispeller" of a bad case of
Charley horse," a rib rubbing remedy
guaranteed to relieve and a familj
sized ginger box, from which the whole
team is expected to draw daily. There
is not a man on the squad but thai
would be benefited by a large dose cu
of the family ginger box.

Coach Quigley is working his men
hard for the game with the Normal
team next Saturday. Several of the
men are out of condition as a result of
the hard game with Washburn last
Saturday and "Quig" will have his
hands full if he gets his men In good
shape for-this game. He will have an
other hard - game on Thanksgiving,

The gahve last Saturday at Golden,
Colo., which was supposed to settle th
state championship of the Centennial
state between the Colorado Colleg
Tigers and the Colorado School of
Mines resulted in a tie of 4 to 4, each
side negotiating a field goal. This is
the third consecutive year that these
teams have played a tie game. As
these two teams are without rivals for
the state championship and in order to
definitely decide the premier position,
another game has been arranged for
next Saturday between the two teams,
and it is hoped that the championshit
will be decided at this game.
A good deal of talk has been circu
lated to the effect that the Oklahoma
Krne r'wilJ.. be transferred to. : Topeka.
This - has. been suggested buf at this
late' date nothing can be done. It was
thought that for a time that a better
crowd could be secured for Topeka but
is there is another game in the city at
that time this change could not very
well be made. The game is being ad
vertised extensively over the territory
and a good crowd should be in Okla
homa City, as this is the onlv big game
that will be played in Oklahoma City
thi3 season.
The annual game at Emporia be
tween the College and the Normal wai
pulled off last Saturday and after a
hard fought game the honors went to
the Normals. Early in the game Cul-
bertson of the College kicked a field
goal but in the last half with but three
minutes to play the ieacners pushed
the ball - over for a touchdown. It was
(ine"oi'-tfte'est-games ever played in
Emporia."11 "
The game at Manhattan next Satur
day promises to be an interesting af
fair, Kansas university and the Aggies
will be the opposing teams. While
Manhattan has not played as good foot
ball throughout the whole season as
has the university team, nevertheless
the game should be an interesting one.
The Aggies will undoubtedly be in good
shape, as this is perhaps their hardest
game, while tne K. L. men are apt to
be caught in poor condition between
the Nebraska and Missouri games. The
Aggies went with the K. U. team to
Lincoln last Saturday where the whole
team rooted for Kansas and incidental
ly got a good line on the Kansas style
of play.

Ffforts we're -made by the manage

get a game with the high school team
of Emporia for Thanksgiving. The
game between the two schools a' tw
weeks ago broke up in a row and the

Emporia declined and will go to Gard

Ed Brown, the crack center of the
Washburn team, played his last game
on the Washburn gridiron last Satur
dav in the St. Mary's game. Brown has
played four years with Washburn. He
was a member of the undefeated vim
of 1903 when Bert Kennedy coacliHl
Washburn and played guard. He was
one of the best guards in the state that
year. He continued in this position in
ii04 and part of 1905. Last year, how
ever, he was shifted to the center po
sition and distinguished himself in this
position. He was easily chosen as the
all-Kansas center. His football career
will end with the. Thanksgiving game.
Brown has never been a spectacular
player of the grandstand variety but
has been a hard worker. He was never
hurt In a game. - :

WATCH MAKERS
fleqnirc Steady Nerves for Fine Wort
Sitting at a watch maker's bench
day in and day out is tedious work,
and if the workman suffers from
headache, nervousness and indiges
tion, as he is liable to do from his
sedentary occupation, he requires spe
cial food to put him right. A Seattle
man writes:
"I am a watchmaker and have sat
pretty constantly at my bench for 15
years, and have suffered badly from
indigestion and its many evil effects,
such as headache, dizziness, nervous
ness, etc. I always had a weak stom
ach until I began to use Grape-Nuts.
"I didn't seem able to find anything
that would digest properly with me for
breakfast i-r supper, and my four chil
dren inherited the weakness from me.
"Now. I place 4 teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts in a dish, then set it in the
oven. When good and hot I eat it
with cream. This with some other
food gives me a nice hot breakfast.
For the children we give each one 3
teaspoonfuls with warm milk, which
softens it and they like it better.
"We have practically the same for
supper and are not troubled in sleep
with an overloaded stomach. With
this diet we keep our digestion in fine
condition and our continual good
health and fat rosy boys prove that we
are on the right track.
"I have gained in weight and have
found a food in Grape-Nuts that has
saved me lots of doctors' bills for the
children, and has given me a clear
head, steady hand and good digestion
for the sast two years.
"One must have a steady nerve and
feel well to work on fine watch work,
and the use of Grape-Nuts twice a day
has kept me right up to the mark."

Atchison, Kan.. Nov.' 21. On an'
hour's notice natural gas was shut off .
from the Atchison mills at noon' Tues- j
day. Its use also had to be discon- t
tinued at the street railway . power j
house. The reason is Baii.to .be. trou
ble on the line between here and the !
gas field. Whatever this trouble is, it j
has diminished the pressure, and the ;
power plants were cut off to protect
the domestic consumer. With the mills I
and power house off, it is figured that)

warm and ranges going until the full'
pressure is restored.
It is going to be hard on the mills.
W. A. Blair says:. "We will be Incon
venienced, and unless gas is turned on
again in 24 hours in sufficient quantity,
we are going back to coal. We can
switch , to coal in less time than it will
take to get the coal here. It looks as
if the turning of gas into Kansas City,
Mo., is the cause of the reduced pres
sure' here, although this is denied as
being in any way responsible."
Douglas Cain not only uses gas to
run the Cain mill, but heats the Atchi
son National bank building, Donald
Bros., Turner hall and the Elks build-ino-
fmm bis hoiler room. "I have one
boiler that I can burn coal under, but
I haven't any coal. I have been prom
ised enough gas to keep the buildings
I heat warm," said Mr. Cain.
Superintendent Hackstaff, of tne
Atchison, Railway, Light & Power Co,
said to a reporter: "Nobody can pos
sibly regret the order to shut off gas at
the mills more than .we do ourselves.
An order was received frrm the Kali
sas Natural Gas company iu lul uh
all large power plants until the trouble
can be overcome, for the protection of
domestic consumers. There is some
gas coming, and with' what- there is
in the mains, there will be sufficient to
take care of the small users, with the,
mills and power house cut off. We are
confidently expecting that the trouble
will be overcome in $4 hours."'
The Lukens mill has ben intending to
go back to coal, and Ed Lukens asked
the Citizens Coal Co. for a price on
slack a few days ago. This mill has
one boiler not equipped -with gas burn
ers. .
Superintendent Hackstaff Is certain
the turning of gas Into Kansas City,
Mo hasn't anything to do with the
present trouble. Kansas City is on an
independent line from the town of Pe
troleum, where the big pumping station
of the Kansas Natural Gas company is
located. There is a report that the
trouole is in the pumping station,
where a new engine is being installed.
As soon as word was received from
the Kansas Natural Gas company thU
morning the Atchison Railway, Light
& Power company purchased several
cars of slack from the coal mine. It
took all the slack and nut coal on hand
and is burning coal. The change was
made in a few hours.
Atchison mills and the power house
have been using a million feet cf gas
every 24 hours. Domestic consumers
use between 300,000 and 400,000 feet
daily. ' "
