K. U.-34; K. S. A. C.-0.
32 to 0 First----34 to 0 Second Let the Good Work Go On.
The 'Varsity defeated the Kansas State Agricultural College today by a decisive score of 34 to 0. The Farmers did not play the game they are capable of and seemed to lack spirit.
The 'Varsity played a good game throughout, tearing up the Farmers' line and rounding their ends with ease. The University back field was especially good. Ise, Cook, Griggs, Woodforl and Brumage were good for gains nearly every time. Hicks at end, Allen and Ackerman at tackles and Michaelson at center played hard games and could be counted on.
The Agriculturalists had the ball only about ten minutes during the whole game and had little chance to show what they could do on offensive work. They were held for downs nearly every time and on the pinch had Mr. Rick blocked and failed to make a kick at all. Their line seemed to be full of holes which the K. U. men found easily.
The game was long and some what uninteresting toward the last. Nearly every down some one of the men would be laid out and time taken out for him, Cook, Ise and Pooler were retired on account of injuries, Griggs, Woodford and Wilson taking their places. The Farmers used all the substitutes they brought with them and then didn't have enough.
Griggs' 40 yard run from kickoff, Cook's and Ise's advancing of the ball in the center of the field and Woodtord's 45 yard run at the last of the game were the features.
The line up was as follows:
K.S.A.C. Position K. U.
Kouse left end Fleischman
Tilley left tackle Ackerman
Rick
Wilkins left guard Donald
Thompson center Michaelson
Margrove right guard Bruner
Snodgrass right tackle Allen
Towne right end Hicks
Cunningham quarter Pooler
Wilson
Cooler left half Ise Griggs
Castle right half Cook
Woodford
Schoultz full Brumage
Ise proved to be a good ground gainer. He has played six or seven games with the college.
A good sized crowd witnessed the game with Emporia College Monday.
Wilson played a fine game at quarterback after Pooler went out. He has a good voice and the men can hear his signals easily. He carries the ball well on the quarterback runs.

Too much study(?) causes severe headaches, very often, but Raymond's H. A. Tablets knock 'em.
THE VALUE OF A KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY AND THE OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED FOR ITS STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KASSAS.
Chemistry enters into every phase of life; a knowledge of it can be used advantageously in every pursuit undertaken. In general however, the Arts students of the University of Kansas shun it. One term of Chemistry is required of Freshmen. If they cannot by any means get out of it, they take it with an ill-concealed distaste and many of them try to do just enough work to pass the examinations. Some leave it until their senior year in order to put off an evil time as long as possible. This hatred of chemistry is probably owing to the fact that few people realize the value of a knowledge of chemistry.
To the doctor and pharmacist it is obvious that a knowledge of chemistry is indispensible. In other professions it is almost as important. Almost all the other sciences depend to a certain extent upon chemistry. Every large establishment which manufactures organic materials, all sorts of metal smelters, and plants which prepare such things as cement, employ chemists. These chemists command perhaps the best salaries that are paid for any kind of work. In the more lowly occupations, the knowledge of chemistry proves advantageous. The baker who knows and choses pure flour and other materials as well, is the most successful baker. The house keeper and cook who are familiar with chemical reactions are able to save themselves trouble, worry and expense.
The chemistry building of the University contains large light laboratories Each desk is furnished with gas, water and sink. Ample apparatus is provided for successfully carrying out all experiments. A large assignment of new apparatus has been received this year but has not yet been unpacked. One room in the building is used for a library. A large collection of chemistry books and periodicals are kept there and are readily accessible to students. Forty new books will soon be added to the collection.
The chemistry classes this year are larger than ever before. This may be owing, however, to the larger enrollment in the University rather than to a greater appreciation of the courses offered. The advanced organic, however, which is not required in any course, has a larger enrollment than usual. To meet the demands of larger classes, two new teachers have been added to the corps of instructors.
The regular election for members of the athletic board will be held next Tuesday. At that time four student members are to be elected.
SOME PLACES OF INTEREST ABOUT LAWRENCE
One of the first things a student new to our little city becomes interested in is the environments of Lawrence. The first Sunday he usually starts out to walk to some point that he has heard of, or that looked promising in a distant view, or perhaps he walks out with no objective point—merely to "see what he can see." After he has been here a year he has seen most of the interesting sights and no longer is impelled by curiosity to seek out new scenes. He has one or two favorite walks or rides, and these are sufficient. Just now, however, there are many new friends among us, and most of these will soon be searching out points of interest, as the ones gone before have done.
A most pleasant task it is,too, this little tour of exploration they have before them, and perhaps a word or two as to what they will find may not come amiss.
First, always comes the windmill, because it is so unique and quaint. I know of none other like it in Kansas, though I have seen one in Nebraska. Built in the '50s, it has stood impassively the same, almost uneffected by the elements until a vandal wind blew off its arms last spring. You can climb up into it, way up into the oddly shaped little cap, and there you may carve your initials into the hard wooden wheel, if you have patience enough.
A second point of interest is the suspension bridge. It spans the Wakarusa out towards Blue Mound, southeast of Haskell. Perhaps you may have seen pictures of this bridge in "the Lawrence book" or somewhere. It is just a foot bridge which sways as you walk across it, some forty feet above the water, so that you hold on to the side wire to keep your balance. Part of the wood-n plank foot path is gone now, and there is a sign up saying "Condemned," but who cares for a missing plank or two, or what matters it that the approach is high and difficult. No such obstacles can frighten us away from the delights of a walk across the swagging spider's web of wire. The old timers on "the hill" tell how they used to get the girls out on the bridge and swing it until it stood almost horizontal, or until the girls begged them to stop. But now you must walk across it carefully, or else a man will run out below and warn you. Once this was a beautifully rustic place, but now the spirit of progress has taken hold, and a very unlovely wooden bridge for wagons cuts off the view of those who would stand on the old bridge and look down upon the "limpid stream" rippling over the rocks below.
Farther still to the southeast lies the Blue Mound itself. It
has a sort of air of mystery about it and seems to hold something in promise for one who will take the pains to climb it, but it is a disappointment, for when, after many misdirections you finally find yourself upon its slope, you are only in the midst of a very ordinary wood.
Other places about Lawrence have their inspirations, esthetic or historic, and many are the hours of pleasure that the autumn holds in store for nature's lovers who "hold communion with her visible forms."
Rufus Emery, Arts '02, was in the city a day or two the early part of the week. Mr. Emery is in the Harvard Law School.
Tenny Frank, a K. U. graduate and at present an instructor in Latin at Chicago University, visited Lawrence friends the early part of the week.
Walter Renn of Wellington, a member of the '03 class of Harvard, spent one day this week with his sister, Miss Dora Renn. Mr. Renn will do graduate work at Harvard this year.
The professors in the Adams street tennis club spent the forenoon last Saturday in improving the grounds. Pickaxes, wheelbarrows, shovels and hammers were at work all the morning, and the afternoon found the court and grounds in better shape than for several seasons.
The Chancellor went to St. Louis last Tuesday night to look over the space allotted by the World's Fair Commissioners to the Kansas Educational Exhibit. He was accompanied by John McDonald of Topcka, editor of the Western School Journal. They found the Kansas space nicely located and were well pleased with things in general. Mr. McDonald is superintendent of the exhibit and the Chancellor is its director.
