MANRATTAN ENTERPRISE SE society. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1907. PUBLISHED WEEKLY NUMBER COg VOLUME I. LOOKS LIKE A WINNER Prospects for Another Winning Football Team Seem Bright. The football season for 1907 opens next Monday with a game at Athletic Park between the Farmers and the College of Emporia team.

Notwithstanding the" fact that Coach Ahearn has lost many his last year's stars, it seems probable that he will again put a team in the field that will be able to give a mighty good account of itself. In some positions this year's team will be stronger than the one last year. Sol Ounningham is out for quarter-back, which means that K. S. A.

0. will have one of the fastest, surest quarter backs in the state. "Cap" Walker has also signified his intention of again taking his old position at left end. With Walker at one end and Blake at the other, the Farmers will probably be stronger in these positions than ever before in their football history. Both men are fast, heady, hard tacklers and cannot be excelled in breaking up inter terence.

Capt. Montgomery has his old at left tackle. To use a familiar ex pression, Joe is a "horse" and the fellow who opposes him in the line this year is undertaking a big contract. Joe ought to make the AllKansas team easily. There are three promising candidates for the other tackle position, Jim and Ed Richards and Baird who played here on the second team several years ago.

Ira Brown, who played guard last year, has been shifted to center and seems to be as much at home there as at guard. Ostlund will play one guard while three, or four big, beefy men are candidates for the other. Altogether the line this year looks stronger than last both on offense and defense. The back-field is the place at which Coach Ahearn is directing his attention While there are no Mallon's nor Nystrom's, nor Cave's nor Scholz's out this year, there are some men out there who will make themselves known before the season is over. Hunter seems to be the most promis(ing back at present.

He starts quick, 's hard to tackle and harder to down. When carrying the ball he twists away from his tacklers in much the same manner as Mallon, and, like Mallon, he seems to play football by instinct. He seems to always be in the right place at the right time. Christian, who played half some last year, is, out again and will. have a regular position back of the line.

Lipper, Martin and Rannells of last year's second team are all candidates for first team honors and are all good men. The coach's idea this year is speed and he is rapidly putting the men in shape to play through a half without stopping to take breath. One play follows another so quickly that there is hardly time to yell "time out." In a scrimmage Saturday afternoon the regulars scored 23 points on the scrubs in fifteen minutes of play, using both the old and new formations. The forward was used extensively and always netted good gains. There was a large number of rooters out on the sidelines and interest seems to be at a high pitch.

With an even break of luck we believe that no apologies will have to be made for K. S. A. 1907 football team, Miss Minnie Palenske returned to her home in Alma Saturday after spending the week with her cousin, Miss Mable Thoes.

S. Williams in Ashland bottom Friday, where, after their arrival from Kentucky, Mr. and Mrs. Williams settled in 1855. Mr.

Williams has four brothers, of this number but two were able to be present. Those absent were Wm. Williams of Long Beach, and J. W. Williams of Rio Blanzo, Tex.

Among the attendance from a distance were P. M. Williams and wife of Bennington, T. Williams of Woodward, Okla, Dr. E.

D. Williams and family of Kansas City, Emmett A. Williams and wife of Meeker, Walter Williams of Santa Anna, and Miss Mildred Brooks of Aspen, Colo. There were forty-six of the relatives present and while the absence of the missing ones was regretted by all, a most enjoyable occasion was had. Social intercourse and games were indulged in until the grand rally on the lawn around the extensive table where seats were provided for all and upon which had been placed the most bountiful repast imaginable, to which each and every one present seemed especially anxious to do justice.

Following this and while all were in good humor and looking pleasant Miss Bessie Myers took several snap shots of the crowd arranged in different groups, which, upon development, will undoubtedly prove that all had a good time. "My Old Kentucky Home" was beautifully rendered by Miss Mildred Brooks and 'Home Sweet Home" was sung previous to the departure of the guests The reunion was a most interesting and enjoyable affair and will be a bright spot in the memory of most of those who attended for many years to come.

It was a pleasant day, but cool. A large delegation from the Manhattan Grange drove up and some from the Randolph Grange. The program was speaking by Pobt. Thompson of Garrison, E. W.

Westgate of the Manhattan Grange, and Ed Secrest of the Randolph Grange. Beulah Thompson gave a recitation. Brother H. L. Zeller sang two songs.

Miss Bessie Harris gave an entertaining selection on the organ. The first on the program was a Grange dinner. Your correspondent has not recovered from the effects yet, as he got seated by the secretary of one of the visiting Granges and undertook to keep up the reputation of the Wild Cat Grange as pie eaters, but several years' experience as a Granger and attending Grange dinners on the part of the secretary proved too much for us. The last thing on the program was eating quite a per cent of a load of watermelons. Farmers ought to hold more of such gatherings, and rub some of the moss off their backs and the hay out of their eyes, and get better acquainted, and we trust the attendance at the next picnic will be multiplied by ten.

Granger. Art Haulenbeck seems to be having a good time out in Colorado where he finds plenty of good democratic company. He writes that they are having a splendid time, that he and Mrs. Haulenbeck are invited to a reception given in honor of Mrs. Ruth Bryan, Leonitt, and better than that are catching two pound trout occasionally.

We expect that Art will have absorted so much additional democracy that we will have to take a fall out of him when he returns. We clip the following from the Glenwood Daily Avalanche: A. Haulenbeck and wife of Man battan, are in Glenwood visiting. Mr. Haulenbeck the chairman 'of the democratic a central committee for Riley, county, and is well versed in politics.

He is a wholesale and retail lumber merchant in Kansas and Indian Territory. He sa the people of this nation are finally getting their eyes open to the selfishness of the republican party, and they will put the special privilege layout out of business next year. The republican party has ceased to represent the people and the special few they have been representing ought to be in jail. If they get what' is coming to them there will very light vote cast for that party next year." College News. Having a Good Time.
