UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, NOVEMBER 3, 1904.
NOTRE DAME
SATURDAY.
With the hardest game of the season but three days off, the Jayhawkers are working vigorously to get into good trim for the struggle. Kansas came out of the Washburn game with no serious injuries to any of the players. Barring accidents, Kansas will be in good shape to give the Hoosiers a hard game. Captain Hicks is again in the lineup, and will prove a tower of strength both in playing his position and in the life and spirit he puts into the team.
Kansas to Meet the Indiana Champions on Local Gridiron— A Fierce Fight Certain.
Brook, the new man from Washington University, was on the field yesterday. He showed up well and may get in the game Saturday. Ise, who was tried at full-back against Washburn, has made good in that position. He is strong in the very particular in which the rest of the Kansas back field is weak, that is, ability to buck the line hard and low. The entire Kansas team has shown much improvement in the past week and a fierce, close contest is assured.
The struggle with Notre Dame will give the Western football critics a line on the comparative strength of the Missouri Valley teams with those of the "Big Nine." While Kansas supporters are not overconfident as to the result, there can be no doubt that the Hoosiers will have to exert themselves to the utmost if they detheat the Jayhawkers.
The officials for the game will be Connor, of Fort Leavenworth, and Dibble, of Kansas City.
The line up will probably be: Michaelson, center; Brooks, Royer, left guard; Brunner, right guard; Donald, left tackle; Ackarman, right tackle; Fleishman, left end; Captain Hicks, right end; Pooler, quarter; green, left half; McCoy, Myers, right half and Ise and McCarty, full back.
Pooler is recovering from the aggravating effects of his boil and will be right in the game next Saturday. Without Pooler in the game Kansas' chance of winning would be materially diminished.
Wisconsin defeated Notre Dame 58 to 0, but look at Wisconsin—one of the strongest aggregations in the country. Kansas can win if the fellows get together and play better than in the Washburn contest. It will lie also with the "rooters" largely, and if proper enthusiasm is maintained throughout, Kansas will score a victory over one of the strongest "Big Nine" teams.
The admission for the game Saturday is 75 cents and one dollar. The same admission
was charged to the Washburn game. It is reported now that several hundred Topeka people want their money back.
If Kansas defeats Notre Dame a clean sweep is expected for the remainder of the season. In this case the only time that Kansas would have suffered a loss of victory would be in the Haskell game and that would be overlooked because Haskell is not in the class of college football teams.
5 Cents per copy
There is more good material on the Kansas gridiron now than has been mustered here for years. The prospects for a larger squad next year are 100 per cent better now than at this time last year. If the team wins Saturday, next year Kansas will probably be the champion college team of the central West Bender will be out of Nebraska. Caldwell will win no more games for Washburn and Caley will probably be elsewhere than Colorado. In addition to this Kansas will have a much stronger team than it has now.
It seems that the "short grass" country is ever the leader of foot-

Developing Strong Ends for the Kansas Game.

It's a shame, what you did to Dakota.
But, there's Wisconsin, Lawrence Nebraska Grinnell.
Notre Dame, Ind , Nov. 3.—The Notre Dame football team leaves here today for Kansas, Coach Salmon faces the problem of developing two ends capable of stopping the Jayhawkers' backs in next Saturday's game. Capt. Shaughnessy will be out of the game at least two weeks longer and McNerney will probably be kept out to save him for the Purdue game, although he declares his injured knee has fully recovered. Heby the big tackle, who was injured in the Wisconsin game, will be out tomorrow and will be taken on the trip. Funk has displaced Fansler at right tackle and the latter will be given a trial at one of the end positions.

DR. GATES' ADDRESS.
Talks of Student Llfe—Advises Fun—Spiritual Side.
Dr. George A. Gates, for many years president of Iowa College at Grinnell, but now president of Pomona College, Clairmont, California, addressed the students in Chapel last Tuesday morning. He spoke very interestingly on some phases of philosophy and their bearings on the spiritual and scientific world.
Dr. Gates began by saying that "Human Life isn't a joke" and that though it may have its rollicking side, there is in American student life something serious and more than superficial.
"We read that God is marching on, and are bilden to walk with Him and if so we must keep up." God is an "everlasting becoming" rather than an 'everlasting being.'"
"A generation ago a great intellectual battle was on." The question was whether "God spake and it was done' or 'that which now is, has been the object of growth.'"
"The universe is spirit, materialism is dead. The greatest philosophers and religionists are physical students, and from physical study comes contribution of spirit, not things. There is infinite activity about us all the time. The eyes perceive only one kind of vibration, it is too coarse to see the many other things around us."
We have passed from the conception of life and death to that of universal life. Nothing is dead, nothing is lost, it but assumes another form. Everything consists of activity, and has sensability, not like ours to be sure, but neverthe less it is there.
"Now we believe that all that is, is one. We cannot understand it but must say as Paul said that 'God is all.'
Dr. Gates closed by saying, "Some call it universe and some call it God,"
Dr. Gates is an old friend of Professor Boodin of the faculty and is on his way home from the meeting of the National Congregational Council at Des Moines, Iowa, and the World's Fair.
God is in all things, and we find 'him an intense and present reality as never before."
Last Thursday evening, in the Chapel under the auspices of the the Sigma Xi Society, Professor Ellen H. Richards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave a lecture on the importance of Domestic Science as a part of a college education.
Only twenty out of forty-two men were present at the Glee Club rehearsal Thursday night.
