ED by the two returning letter- men, Landes and Schwartz, the Topeka squad started its football season by an impressive 19 to 0 vic- tory at Moore Bowl over the strong Salina team. Landes and Schwartz starred for Topeka. Inspired by their first victory the Trojans crushed the highly touted Manhattan gridsters 1553 to ti at M a n h a t t a n. Ep Caulk and Schwartz starred on the offensive play, each scoring two touchdowns. Lake, Burns, and Wfassberg played well in the forward wall. Topeka evened the defeat of last year's team by turning back the Qt- tawa Cyclones 12 to 7 in a close game. Bethel, Landes, and Carl- son stood out in the defensive play of the Trojans. Ep Caulk and Landes scored a touchdown apiece. In a ragged game Topeka won from St. joe Central 13 to 0 at St. joe. Russum an d Epl' Caulk scored for the Trojans while the work of Rutledge and Nitz, sopho- mores, was outstanding. Both have two more years of varsity competi- tion and should be powers on future Trojan aggregations. Trojans Trample League Leaders Conference Conflicts Successful: Local Warriors Bitten by Bulldogs Topeka Defeats Omaha Omaha Tech invaded T o p e k a with a powerful team and all the dope to crush the Trojans. To- peka hnished the game with the long end of a 27 to O score. All members of the Topeka team played superb football throughout the entire game. Although defeated by the Trojans last year, Tech had formerly been undefeated. The Vtfichita Aviators stopped the Trojan victory m a r ch to the tune of 14 to 6 at Vyfichita. Out- standing playing on the Vlfichita East squad was done by Burton, Davis, and Jessup. A pass to Ep Caulk netted the lone Trojan touchdown. The Red and Black Emporia gridsters invaded Topeka and were sent home defeated by a score of lil to 43. Schwartz, Landes, and Ep Caulk showed up well for the Trojans. Trojan-Knights Make Debut Topeka went to Lawrence for the last road trip of the season, and narrowly missed being defeated by the Lions, who had previously won 1932 FOOTBALL SQUAD only one game. A fighting Law- rence team ended the game deep in Topeka territory but with the short end of a 13 to 12 score. The Trojan-Knights, new boys' pep club, made their first appearance at this game. Until the Wfyandotte Bulldogs smothered the Trojans on Thanks- giving day by a score of 33 to 13, many students had not seen a Trojan squad defeated at home, for it was the first time in four years Topeka had lost at home. Lewis played brilliant football for the Bulldogs by making three touch- downs. Schwartz s c o r e d both touchdowns for the Topeka team. This was the Iclllal game' for the following lettermen: Dittemore, Landes, Schwartz, Carlson, Rus- sum, Ep Caulk, Burns, Bethel, Garhart, Holstrom, Wfassberg, Lake, McFarland, Vlfonderly, and Behm. The returning lettermen for next year are Shaw, Shoup, and French. Many intramural stars are return- ing in the fall, and another success- ful Trojan season seems probable.

Topeka High Elecis Voting in Senior Election Room N Qctober 11, some 1,053 duti- ful high school students betook themselves to the polls designated for their respective classes and cast their votes for president of the Stu- dent Council, election and deputy election commissioner, and the of- ficers of their particular class. Everything considered, the elec- tion was a success. Through the efforts of Louise Ellis, election commissioner, Mary Louise Smith, her assistant, and Miss Nina Mc- Latchey, faculty adviser, the whole project went across smoothly and without the confusion which is all too likely to characterize such affairs. Seniors Count Votes There was also an election board of nine students appointed by the commissioners to take charge of the voting at the three polls. The entire board was c o m p o s e d of seniors. Helen Stants, Freeman French, and Imogene Shrives had charge of the senior polls, Isabel Townley, jan e McDermott, and Philip Oliver were in the junior room, and Albert Carpenter, Dor- othy McAfee, and Ruth Stanley were the three who served in the sophomore room. Whetlier the members of this board were for- tunate or unfortunate may be de- termined by weighing the advan- tages of getting out of classes for two days and being served two ex- cellent meals by the foods depart- ment against the disadvantages of having to make up two days! work Ten . ,M,,,,..,..,a W,,,,,,,,.-ff . ...W ,,.,, 4,,,.,,.p- W, as well as doing the actual amount of work involved. Voting booths - borrowed from the city, if you must know-were temporarily erected in three rooms, the Student Activity Room for the seniors, the Social Room for the sophomores, and Visual Instruction Room for the juniors. Yes, we wondered where the Visual Instruc- tion Room was, too, and so did a number of juniors. To those who were persevering in their search it finally proved to be the room where slides and pictures are shown, to the right of the library. Perhaps the vague doubts as to the where- abouts of the room in un i o r s' minds is the excuse for the small number of votes cast by that class as a whole. The primaries, held one week be- fore the final election, narrowed the field, which was rather crowded in most instances, to two candidates for each office. Only in the case of Student C o u n c i l representatives were there four candidates. In three instances, a lone candidate walked straight from the primary into the office. Schwartz Re-Elected Such was the case of Allan Dun- can who, unopposed, was elected to the highest office in the school, president of the Student Council. Lloyd Schwartz scored another proof of his popularity in being elected president of his class for the third consecutive year. Only this year it was closer and more excit- 4 .,., yi Louise Ellis, Election Commissioner ing than ever before, for his oppon- ent was none other than jarring -lim Landes. Athlete versus ath- lete, brawn against brawn, and may the best man win! Th o ugh if President Schwartz is the better man, theres still a mass of people who remain to be convinced of the fact-namely, the 17-l seniors who voted for Landes against the 178 Schwartz-minded voters. Billy Brownlee and Rudy Peter- eck were chosen president of the junior and sophomore classes, re- spectively. They're both good men and should have a big future ahead of them. Girls Win Places As for the vice-presidents-and incidentally our vice-presidents did- not live up to vice-presidential re- putations this year-you all know Charles Bray, sophomore, Hazlett Steiger, junior, and jean Campbell, senior. In case you don't fathom the subtle remark concerning a vice-presidents reputation, may we explain for your benefit thaf the office of vice-president has upon a few occasions been referred to as one which requires very little brain exercise. XVhich, we repeat, was not true in these cases.
