HERE'S SUCCESS TO THE TEAM OF '03 ROCK CHALK! JAY HAWK! K. U.!
THE FOOTBALL OUTLOOK.
It seems to be the general belief among K. U. students that we shall have a victorious foot ball team this year. A short survey of athletic conditions as they pertain to football at the present only strengthen such an opinion.
First the management have prepared a schedule of prospective games which are bound to prove good exhibitions of the game, yet will not carry our team against teams which are above our class. The arrangement of the games is such that under ordinary conditions, the team should have ample time between games to be in the best physical condition before they will be called upon to play again.
Second, we have secured the services of a football coach, who has no superior in the Missouri valley. A star player upon the best football team in the country last year, he has exhibited in his few week's residence with us, that he knows all the salient points of the science of football and in addition has a genial way with the boys working under him that has won their regard.
Third, the football material is greater than ever before Thirty-five and forty men have been coming out to practice. Not only are the numbers large, but the individuals are of the right size. The squad has averaged over sixty five pounds; a half dozen or more exceed over two hundred pounds in weight.
With these facts before us we do not see why we should not have a favorable football season and once more see the red and blue float over an "ever victorious" team.
EMPORIA FIRST.
When the energetic Kansas cannot get what he wants, he makes the best of what he has. The state legislature did not deem it expedient to grant us a gymnasium building when we asked for it ast year, yet, by extensive remodeling of the basement of Snow Hall, the facilities for gymnasium work have been greatly increased. The large west room has been ceiled and plastered and its floor lowered three feet, thus affording a room fourteen feet high with a floor area thirty-eight by ninety feet. One half of this will be used for basket ball and the remainder for general apparatus for physical development. Two dressing rooms have been provided, the boys' containing one hundred and fifty lockers and three shower baths, the girls., about sixty lockers and two needed oaths. One room which serves now as football headquarters, will later

MONDAY AT 3:30.
In the good old football time,
In the good old football time,
Running out around the end;
Charging through the line.
We'll hold them then and there for downs
And that's a very good sign,
We'll fix Herrnstein, McLain and Booth,
In the good old football time.
The line-up Monday will be made up from the following men; Michaelson and Newby, Center; Donald, Bruner and Isling, Guards; Ackerman, Baird, and Rice, Tackles; Woodlord, Cooke, and Fleishman, Ends; Pooler and Wilson, Quarter-back; Griggs Brumage, and Ice, Half-back; and Allen and Moser. Full-back.
The scrimmages the past week have been fast and full of ginger. Weeks has been working hard to get a team into shape to show the Preachers something about the game, and his efforts have worked wonders. The two teams that line up every night play football with a vim and dash that speaks well for the
U. S. G, PLANK, Athletic Mgr team later on. Each man seems to be on his metal and works all the time.
U. S. G, PLANK, Athletic Mgr
Pooler is back in the game and gives the men confidence and spirit. His work last year was all that the University could ask, and he will undoubtedly make good this season. Wilson and Hart have been showing up well in their positions, Hart especially in advancing the bril on the vuarterback run. Allen at fullback is making a good showing and his line bucking is good. Brumage and Cooke are both showing up well back of the line. Brumage hunts holes in the line and is always good for a gain. Cooke besides being a fine ground gainer is developing into a good punter and is being tried out a little each day in that department of the game.
In the line, Michaelson is making a good center. He is big, 190, and fast on his feet and will, with a little more knowledge of the game, make a star center.

THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA GAME.
Continued on page 4.
There is at present considerable talk of transferring the annual Kansas-Nebraska football game from Lawrence to Kansas City this year. The question has not yet been settled but everything seems to point toward the-trans fer. The Nebraska management has written to the local authorities that the Cornhuskers want the game in Kansas City and the Kansas management is inclined to favor the change.
From a financial standpoint all the argument is on the side of the transfer. A large crowd would attend from Nebraska, for if Kansas City gets the game, an excursion will be run from Lincoln to Kansas City and there will also be many down from Omaha. If the game is played here, there will be no such excursions. Kansas City says that many from there will see the game and it is the opinion of several local men who ought to know that nearly as many students would see the game in Kansas City as in Lawrence. Then, too, a larger admission could be charged in Kansas City than in Lawrence. The gate receipts would undoubtedly be doubled, and probably tripled, and money is even a greater inducement this year than last. The athletic board needs it.
The argument, however, is not all on the side of the change. This year the Jayhawkers meet very few teams that are worthy of their attention and the Nebraska game has been looked forward to as about the only redeeming feature of the season. The management owes it to the student body to put the team on exhibition here. There are plenty of games to be played on McCook Field but they are not games that the students want to see as
they do the big battle. From the present prospects Kansas will win from the Cornhuskers this year and it would be a glorious thing to do it on faithful old McCook Field which has of late years so often felt the tread of victorious visiting teams.
Many students have not the money to go to Kansas City to see the game. They would probably go but it means a sacrifice for them for a trip to Kansas City is not very excitable or enjoyable unless a person has a few coins to distribute among the "boys."
The matter resolves itself into the question: Which is to receive the first consideration, the student body or the financial end of the football management? There can be no great mistake whichever way the question is decided, but unless the money is needed pretty badly, it seems that the students should be considered first. Why not ask them? The matter might be referred to them directly by taking a vote upon it in some way. The team want the support of the school and the latter is anxious to give it but in return should certainly be shown some consideration. If the majority of the students want to go to Kansas City, then we should favor the transfer most heartily.

A SUGGESTION FOR OUR FOOTBALL FIELD
No matter how well acquainted with the game one may be, there are constantly arising in a game of football points, the decision of which cannot reach one on the grand stand. It is usually easy to see when the ball changes sides, but if a person comes in late, and is not well acquainted with the players on either team, he is often forced to Continued on Page 4.
