THE KANSAN. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. VOL.I. No.11. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, OCTOBER 22, 1904. THE FRESHMAN PARTY. Given in the Gym and Attended by Members of All Classes-Punch, Dancing and a Good College Time-Said to be Exceptional Freshman Party. The annual "spread" and dance, given by the members of the Freshman class was held last Thursday night in the University gymnasium. It is usually given just after the class 'scrap' earlier in the term, but the reverses sustained this year delayed matters considerably. Shortly after six o'clock the class gathered at the gymnasium in readiness for the evening's entertainment. While refreshments were being prepared, everyone was asked to get acquainted by the "butt-in" method. Each one was provided with a partner for the grand march. When this had well begun, the boys were requested to step forward in the line and the girls to step back, until the end of the column was reached. When this had been accomplished, mats were spread on the floor, where all were seated, while refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, cocoa and cake, were served. Oranges and bananas were added for dessert. After "dinner" the mats were stored in one corner, and often a few moments of vigorous work with brooms, clearing the floor, the real pleasure of the evening—dancing—was begun. From seven o'clock until nearly eleven, everyone who could dance attempted to get acquainted with everyone else. In the first part of the evening many of the upper classmen were seen at the windows, presumably to see how well the Freshmen could carry on an affair of their own. Many of those present wondered if their presence there was to arouse class spirit of some kind, but all suppositions were dispelled when dancing began. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen mingled together in happiness. Altogether the Freshman party was one of the most successful ever given by any Freshman class in the University. JUNIOR PROM. As yet, no official action has been taken in regard to the Junior Promenade. All plans are at present merely in the air. That the "Prom." will be held, there is no doubt, neither is their any doubt that the Sophomores, emboldened by their recent vistory over the Freshmen, will attack the Juniors By reason of this same victory of the Sophs., the Freshmen will not be in a position to render much aid to the Juniors. CLASS FOOTBALL TEAMS ORGANIZE During the past two or three days the general interest in foot ball has tremendously increased, and the idea of class foot ball teams has taken possession of the entire University. Previous to this year, there has never been a class team organized here. Class base ball contests have been a feature of K.U. athletics for many years, but class foot ball teams have never been considered practicable. At the beginning of the present year, however, Dr. Naismith devoted his attention to the formation of a Freshman foot-ball team, and soon a squad of Freshmen were working every evening. They have practiced faithfully, and now have a fairly well trained eleven. They have played three games with the Lawrence High School team losing one by a score of 6 to 0, winning one by the same score, and the third resulting in a tie game. Weldon is the manager of the eleven. About a week ago the Medies organized a team and challenged the Freshmen. This game, as stated above, was played yesterday. Marion Russell is captain of the Medie team, and Frank Sorgatz manager Yesterday they played the Medics and next Saturday they will play the Fort Scott High School. They will also try to arrange a game with the Freshman team of the University of Missouri. The latest team to organize is the Mining Engineering team, A. A. Hoffman was elected captain, and Victor Cone manager. As we go to press there are some rumors that the Pharmics will also have a team. The organization of the Medicine team was the beginning of the recent attack of foot ball fever. Thursday the Sophomores organized and elected Carl Wangerien manager. The Laws followed and elected Art Relihan manager. Next the Juniors organized, electing Harry Hart captain and Harry Relihan manager. They also challenged the Sophs. for a game. This was played Saturday morning and resulted in a score of 6 to 6. The Seniors next held a meeting, but were unable to decide who would be able to make the team, so they postponed their election of officers until they could have a scrimmage practice The managers of these teams are now clamouring for games, and a number of contests will probably be played in the near future. This new interest in foot ball will have the tendency to bring out a large number of men who will be valuable 'Varsity material next year. The band caps have arrived. They are blue with upright top aud leather visor. Ober's will put K's on them and have them ready for the Washburn game. KANSAS WON. 16 to 0. Easily Defeated Oklahoma. The Jayhawker team easily defeated the Oklahoma eleven Friday at Oklahoma City. A crowd of about 5,000 people witnessed the game, and it was ideal football weather. In the first half every foot of ground was hotly contested and Kansas' first touchdown was made by pushing McCoy over the line with but three seconds left to play. Pooler missed goal. In the second half Oklahoma gave way before the fierce onslaughts of Kansas and most of the playing was in Oklahoma's territory. Oklahoma held Kansas for downs when they were within a few yards of the goal. Oklahom attempted to punt out of danger but Donald blocked the kick and McCoy fell on the ball behind Oklahoma's line. Pooler kicked goal. The last touchdown was made on quarter back kick, but Pooler failed to kick goal, leaving the final score 16 to 0. The Kansas line-up was as follows: Michaelson, center; Brunner, right guard; Davis, right tackle; Rouse, right end; Ackerman, left guard; Donald, left tackle; Fleishman, left end; Pooler, quarter back: McCoy, right half; McCarty, full back; Meyers, left half. Besides those in the line-up, Capt. Hicks, Russell, Green, Livingston and Ise went on the trip. Strickler was called out of town and therefore unable to go. WASHBURN NEXT Washburn's Team the Next in Order—The Game at Topeka Saturday Expected to be a Fierce One—Washburn in the Firest Possible Form--- Kansas Not in Best Trim-Crowd of 500 Expected From Here----Rooters Club to Go. 5 Cents per copy On next Saturday the Kansas foot ball team will meet Washburn college on Washburn field, Topeka. Last year Washburn succeeded in defeating the crippled K. U., team on a muddy field by the small margin of a field goal. Washburn's good opinion of Washburn has increased until now that college believes (or pretends to believe) that it is in every way the equal of the University of Kansas. This belief is constantly encouraged by the partial statements of the Topeka Capital, which eagerly seizes every opportunity offered to deride the University and all things connected therewith. So far this year Washburn has not met any strong teams. She has defeated Emporia College 10 to 0; Emporia Normal: 21 to 0; and Fairmount College 10 to 0. None of these schools possess a strong team, so Washburn's real strength is an unknown quality as yet. However, a close game may be looked for next Saturday, as this is Washburn's most important game, and Coach Outland will train his men especially for this contest. If Washburn can win the K.U. game she will be satisfied, even if she loses the remainder of the games on the schedule. The Washburn team will be in the pink of condition for the game, while the development of the Kansas team must necessarily be slower, as Kansas does not wish to get into its best form before the latter part of the season, when the team meets Notre Dame. A large number of students will go to Topeka to see the game and a railroad rate of about $1.05 will be secured. The probable line up of the teams will be: WASHBURN KANSAS Haughey L E Fleishman Hill L T Donald Browr L G Strickler Davisman (Capt), C Michaelson Louthan R G Bruner Pearson, Amig RT Ackerman Stewart R E Hicks, Rouse Andersen Q ooler Millice R H McOoy, Thrailkill Green Caldwell L H Myers, Iae Williams P McCarty Johnson Russell WASHBURN YELLS. "If our side has the ball it is surprising how a "whoop 'em—Scoop 'em" or a "Rah, Rah, Rah!" will make a man tear out down the field. The thing for every Washburn student to do is to take a copy of the foot ball yells and go down to the bleachers prepared to do their part toward winning the games. Here they are: Whoop 'em! Scoop 'em, through and through! Ra! Ra! Ra! ra! ra! Wackhurr! Washburn! Washburn! Ra! ra! ra! (Repeated three times.) and through! We do! We do! Why don't you? Always loyal! always true To Washburn College and Washburn College and the Washburn blue. Washburn! Washburn! Washburn! burn! Who-oo-oo-oo-oo? W-a-s-hb-u-r-n. Kaw! Kaw! Rah! Rah! Washburn!" KANSAS EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS. The Kansas exhibit at St. Louis consists of 50 framed photographs of general views of the Campus, Laboratories and Class Rooms. These photographs were made by David Horkman. They are 22 by 28 inches. These photographs give a good view of each department of the University. They are taken from the Medical Department, Testing Laboratory, Biological Laboratory, and the interior of the Museum and the other Departments. This collection will be returned to the University after the Fair, and will then be exhibited at the various high schools of the state.
