CAPTAIN HICKS INJURED
May Be Out of Colorado Game Michaelson Also on Hospita! List-Colorado Coming Strong--Hard Game is Certain-University Abounds With Enthusiasm.
More is attached to the victory on McCook field next Saturday than has been attached to any game this year. Haskell won but there was not the meaning attached to that game that th r is to the Colorado contest.
Nebraska lost to Colorado last Saturday and the latter is in good conditioin again for Saturday's game. If Kansas wins it will place the Jayhawers ahead of Nebraska. This is what Saturday's game means and it's up to the entire University students, faculty, friends, officers, janitors, and every soul to come out. The team needs support and deserves it.
CAPTAIN HICKS HURT.
That the team deserves support is not doubted. The men have worked hard the last week and are going to win.
Tuesday Captain Hicks was hurt and if he should enter Saturdays game will probably only be able to remain in for a part of the fight. In the scrimmage he was rolling with Livingston and "Big" Reid. One of the men fell on his right leg and wrenched the knee so badly that today Hicks can hardly walk.
He expressed hopes to a KANSAN reporter that he could get in the game and Hicks's never failing grit will possibly put him in Saturday's line.
Manly Michaelson the star center is also on the hospital hist. Mich hurt his back in scrimmage Monday and has been suffering much pain since.
If Michaelson is kept out of the contest his loss will be keenly felt.
The work this week has been hard and fierce. The men are all determined to win and "To beat Colorado is to beat Nebraska" composes the popular war cry.
In the line there will be a general shaking up. Coach Kennedy said the other day that he didn't know just yet what the line-up would be but it Hicks and Michaelson are in the game the line up will be: Michaelson, center; Ackarman, left guard; Brunner, righ guard; Donald, left tackle; McCoy or Strickler, right tackle; Fleishman, left end; Captain Hicks, right end; Pooler, quarter back; Meyers and Royer, left half; Chappell and Ise, right half; McCarty and Russell, fullback. Green may also be put in.
The Colorado team will arrive over the Union Pacific Saturday
morning. Last year the Coloradoans gave the Kansas team a hearty welcome with loud yelling when the Jayhawkers appeared and for every good play.
Kansas should accord the same welcome to Colorado Saturday-
Admission will be 50 and 75c. First come first served.
K. U. PROFS, HONORED,

FRESHMEN ELECT.
McCreary Chosen President.—Hottest Freshman Election in Years.
The freshman class election held Tuesday noon in chapel resulted in victory for some men on each ticket. M. A. McCreary was elected president; Edward G. Green, vice president; Miss Rebecca Moody, secretary; Howard Reid, treasurer and Jerome Beatty, member of the committee of twenty-two for promoting school spirit in the University.
The final vote stood as follows President, McCreary 142; Vice President, Green 240, Moody 126 Treasurer, Keid 120; Member Committee, Beatty 66.
There were 245 votes cast five of them being challenged but if these had been admitted they would not have affected the final outcome.
There was much rivalry espe cally for Treasurer and Secretary. The votes for Treasurer were so nearly the same that it was impossible to tell which side won until the last vote was counted.
Miss Pansy Anderson withdrew from the Representative ticket and E. J. Thiele was nominated instead. Miss Anderson had repeatedly said she would not run and her resignation was expected.
A night class has recently been organized in the gymnasium for the benefit of those unable to attend the day classes and for students wishing to take extra apparatus work. The class meets from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. A class in tencing and the use of broadswords is soon to be added. Mr. Burns will teach fencing and Mr. Funchess the use of the broadsword Much interest is being taken in the work.
Prof. A. T. Walker, of the Department of Latin Language and Literature, has been engaged to teach Latin in Cornell University at the Summer session of 1905. Professor Walker will take the place formerly filled by Prof. Bennett, known to Latin student as the author of Bennett-Latin Grammar.

SPORTING NOTES.
Football Men Hard at Work.—Grid iron Personals.—LaCrosse Gymnasium, and Other Notes.
The first Basket-ball practice of the season was held Monday eveningin the 'Gym'. Hereafter practice will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4:30 p.m.
Prof, G. F, Kay, whom the Freshmen have selected to coach their La Crosse team, is a graduate of Toronto University. Canada is the greatest La Crosse country in the world.
About 15 men ran in the cross country run Monday evening. Will Bailey, captain of the track team ran the $ _{3/2} $ miles in 25 minutes.
The members of the "Gym" class were timed in their one hundred yard dash Friday. The best time made was 12.2. There are 10 second men in school but they were not out.
There will be a shake-up in the line in next Saturday's game. The old players will still be in the line but will play different positions. They will try the new position for the first time
The rumor that some one started about some new men going on the foot ball training table and about some of the old men going off is not true. The same men are on the table as when it started.
F. McCoy who played so effectively against the Haskell Indians was out Monday evening for practice the first time since Thursday. He is still very lame but will probably be in Saturday's game against Colorado.
E. G. Green who had his hip hurt in scrimmage about ten days ago is getting along very nicely. He is out for practice every evening now but will probably stay out of Saturday's game unless needed very badly.
Manley Michaelson who plays center on the K. U. foot ball team was slightly injured in a scrimmage recently. The Freshman team lined up against the "Regulars" and in a rush that followed Michaelson received a blow in the back and was forced to leave the field.
DEBATERS ELECT.
E. Petry, a Law President—Kansas to Meet Iowa—Other Dates to Be Set—Questions Not Decided Upon.
At a meeting of the Debating Council the following officers were elected: E.Petry, President; John W. Blood, Vice-President; Jesse Kayser, Secretary; George J. Benson, Treasurer.
The Council authorized a letter to Iowa University making further inquires about a debate and unless something unexpected happens, will debate with Iowa this year.
Nebraska and Missouri Universities have been asked to submit questions for debate and until these are known the Kansas representatives can do nothing. There is a disposition to hold the contests earlier this year than in the past so that they will take place not later than the first of March.
There will be thirty-six men in the debating squad, six from each of the following Literary Societies and Debating Clubs; Snow, Kent, Cooley, X. Y. Z., Burke and Adelphic.
GAIN OF 44 PER CENT IN ENROLLMNT.
