DR. SNOW SPEAKS.
The Ex-Chancellor Tells of Early History of the U, and Some of the Struggles-Latge Crowd and Much Interest.
Ex Chancellor Snow delivered the address in Chapel Friday morning choosing for his subject, "Early History of K. U."
Dr. Snow prefaced his speech by noting the applicability of his citing the early history of the University at the time when the celebration of the Semi-Centennial was at hand. He offered an apology for the personal element to be introduced and then proceeded to describe the struggles of Kansas University in the early '70's.
Dr. Snow said that previous to his coming to K. U, he had pursued a Theological course in Massachusetts and had intended to be a preacher but upon the
advice of Mr. and Mrs. A. Lawrence he came West and ultimately accepted the chair of Mathematics and Natural Science at Kansas University. There were three members of the Faculty and he was the Junior member.
North College, not yet completed, was the building in which school work was pursued,
Dr. Snow remained with the University three and one-half years as instructor in Mathematics. He accepted the position only on condition that he be given the chair of Greek when a vacancy occurred.
Dr. Snow gave a graphic description of the disciplinary methods used, the particular incident chosen involved the brother of Professor Carruth.
The address was interspersed with humorous personal reminiscenes which were heartily enjoyed by all.
Mass Meeting.
There will be a big mass meeting in the chapel Wednesday afternoon to organize for "rooting" at the Haskell game. It is very important that the thousands at the game be shown what loyal students are, so everybody, man, woman and child, come to the meeting and help win what will make a successful season for the team this year.
The Century Club had a hay rack ride to the Lake Friday evening.
Kansas 34. Emporia Normal O.
The Second Game of the Season a Big Victory for the Varsity. Emporia Teachers Not In the Game at Any Time-Kansas Shows up in Great Form-Good Prospects.
The second game of the season on McCook field was played today with the Emporia Normal.
The Normals played an interesting game and were not in the Kansas men's class at any interval of the game.
The visitors came to Lawrence hoping to defeat theVarsity above all other teams they meet this year but went down in one of the worst defeats that Kansas has added to her credit in several years.
The conditions of the weather were as favorable to one side as to the other And the mud was in favor of the visitors. Pooler's goal kicking which is well perfected as a rule was greatly interfered with on account of the awful sticky mud, which gunned on the little star quarter's shoes in ugly and menacing lumps.
The mud interfered also with the Jayhawker's speed which would have been a sweeping whirlwild against the teachers had the day been clear and the field dry.
In the 'Varsity line all of the men were in the game from the start and played a low fast game,
Fleishman was out on account of sickness being be1 fast with intestinal troubles. He was missed but his good work was carried on in an exceptional manner by Ise who never let the interference get past him and who never failed to down the man in his tracks when an opponent bought a punt.
Donald the big tackle deserves special credit and when in a tight place pushed for downs "Don" was invariably sent through the line and he always made his gains of from one to ten yards.
Kansas got ball on 25 yard line on downs. Donald pounded the line and Chappell and Meyers tore close into the ends for steady gains. Donald and
The team as a whole showed up in excellent form and the team work was a grinding wheel of affliction to the enemy, who could not withstand the victorious onward drive of Captain Hicks' and Pooler's interference and McCoy's long drives around end, with McCarty backing up the bunch. The interference was as good as has been seen on McCook for years.
McCarty were pushed over in less than one minute of play and Pooler failed at goal under difficult conditions.
Kansas kicked off 45 yards. Kansas was here penalized for being offside but in the next down took the teachers back for 3 yards The Normals tried to punt but the ball was blocked and Kansas got it. Donald went over for the gain by hitting left side.
Normals got the ball on 13 yard line. Holner and Hargis hit the line, but the ball was lost on downs on the Normal's 15 yard line.
Hicks got away for 12 yards and Davies went to within a foot of the line and McCarty played batting ram with the visitors line for a touch down. Fooler kicked goal. Score University, 11, K. S. N., 0. Kansas kicked off and play started on the Normals 35 yard line. Kansas was again penalized for 5 yards. Kansas got the ball on downs on the teachers 45 yard line. The 'Varsity lost the ball immediately and were again penalized for 5 yards.
Hinsley got away for a pretty 20 yard run down and McCarty made a beautiful tackle and saved a touch down.
The first half closed with the ball on Kansas' 30 yard line, Score 11 to 0.
