ATHLETICS
"Boss" Weeks Well Pleased.
A week from Monday the first football game of the season will be played with Emporia College on McCook field. Coach Weeks is making every effort to have our team in good condition by that time. The practice has become longer and harder and lively scrimmage work now plays an important part in each day's work.
The coach is after a good kicker and makes the boys kick and catch every day. Poooler's ability in this line is well known and Allen, Woodford, Alford, Griggs and Mosher are all showing up well. Every man who shows any ability in punting is given special attention and is taught the best way to do the work.
The scrimmages last week were lively and the men seemed to be in the best of spirits. Those who show up best are Allen at full back, Hart, Kaul and Forcher at quarter, Chappell, Brumage and Alford at halves, Fleischman and Woodford at ends and Coulson, Peters and Michaelson in the line. Coach Weeks is well pleased with the showing and weight of his men and says that everything looks nice.
The training table will probably not be started until after the first game. The coach thinks it is safer to wait and not run the danger of putting men on the table who will have to be taken off later. It arouses much dissatisfaction to do this and may cause men to quit practice who would make good later on.
Manager Plank expresses himself as satisfied with the outlook but says he would like to see more men out for practice. Suits may be had from him on application.
No season tickets will be sold this year, but a ticket for the first three games (Emporia College, Agricultural College and State Normal) may be bought for one dollar. Holders of these tickets may also voice in the Athletic Association meetings.
Vincent, last year's captain, is teaching in the Lawrence High School and coaching their football team. Vincent says the boys are a little light but willing. They are lucky to have such a good man to coach them.
Peters, last year's tackle will not be in school this term. He was a good player and the team will feel the loss.
Coach Curtis is coaching Wisconsin this year. K.U. wishes him all success.
Botsford, quarterback 1900 is coaching Emporia Normal.
Nickles, half back 1902, is coaching Emporia College.

NO CHAIR OF JOURNALISM AT U OF K. Through the Associated Press and in other ways the impression is general over the country that with the opening of the University this fall a chair in Journalism has been established, an impression which in some respects is erroneous. A chair of Journalism will not be created at the University of Kansas this year. Our Chancellor, Dr. Strong, has not made the statement that a separate department of Journalism would be established nor has he authorized any one to make such a statement.

NO.2.
Courses suitable for training in Journalism have long existed in the curriculum of the University, although the term Journalism has not been used to designate that work The departments of Economics, Sociology, History, and English offer ample work for any student desiring to prepare himself for the profession of Journalism. In addition to the courses that have heretofore been offered to the prospective journalist, some study and training in certain more practical features of newspaper work has been arranged for. Chancellor Strong has taken up the matter with a number of newspaper men and has secured their cooperation. From time to time these men will lecture to the students on the different departments of newspaper work. In this way, students will have at their command a source of practical information hitherto not accessible at the University.
Furthermore, an arrangement has been made with the city newspapers of Lawrence to submit from the advanced students preparing for Journalism, such news and other matter as those papers can use. This will enable a young journalist to determine in some degree what sort of material is especially desired by various newspapers, another advantage until now denied Kansas University students aspiring to the field of newspaper work.
In addition, the papers of Lawrence have agreed to let the members of the advanced class inspect their plants, and perhaps a few students will be offered an opportunity to learn something of the mechanical work connected with getting out a paper. So it will be seen that the hopeful young journalist need not go out from the University wholly unfamiliar with the workings and equipment of a newspaper office. He will have had, at least, a glimpse of the practical side of newspaper making.
A candidate tor journalistic training must not look just yet for a chair or a school of Journalism at the University of Kansas. Both may come in time; perhaps not a long time, but at present he should rather make

LAWRENCE MISTREATS HER BEST FRIENDS.
French, Cowardly Officers Thwart the
Best Interests of the City.
Students Utterly Misjudged and Maltreated.
Along with every commendable jollification and celebration comes the base "cheap grafter" and often it would appear that communities of reputed culture prefer him to sound teachers and earnest workers. Such is somewhat the case with the present reunion in Lawrence. One of the most holy of feelings is the veneration of those immortal heroes who preserved the identity of the American nation. But that we may enjoy this commemoration of their services, we must breath the polluted atmosphere of the man with the baby rack, the "magic" cards, the "Bobo" show, the despicable merry-go-round, the nauseating snake handler, and many other scaly, diabolical, measly, wormy grafts that afflict human society.
Recognizing the horrifying effect of the presence of all this pollution, some of the best K. U, students—men of the best families of the state, men of lofty ideals and delicate tastes, men of well known moral stamina—offered to assist in making life, in Lawrence, unpleasant for the cheats, and were met by the ungratitude of beastly, unmanly, brutal treatment of red-eyed profane policemen upon whose breath the stench of rotten whisky could be easily detected.
Now, as students, we are very grateful for the refined and hearty welcome tendered us by the intelligent, upright people of this delightful city. We also wish to offer hearty thanks for the manliness and liberality of the business men, who are always ready and anxious to assist us in our various enterprises. But we surely hope that Lawrence will see to it that ruflians in official garb are not allowed to satisfy
their cowardly tempers and avarice upon gentlemen against whom they have no well founded charges.
We further wish to tender deep thanks to our ever present friend, "Uncle Jimmy," for the valiant manner in which he takes care of "his boys."
THE DOWNFALL OF BOBO.
There is sorrow in the Bobo family today. There is wailing and grnashing of teeth. For did not Papa Bobo strike the hard pan with a dull sickening thud. And the K. U. students, did they not sit themselves upon Bobo's neck and razzle-dazzle the wildman's whiskers as children shatter a crow's nest. Yes, verily, they did. They punched his face. And little Flossie, the long haired Circassian beauty, cried in exquisite English "Mamma, mamma, they're killing papa!" And mamma, the living mermaid, went to the rescue with a poker and a broom stick.
And the police saved Papa Bobo. They chased the mildeywed students far away, and they gathered up Papa Bobo with a whisk broom and many tears.
THE PROCLAMATIONS
On Thursday night that right royal band of students known as Sophomores decorated our peaceful little burg with small, ladylike proclamations evidently intended to stoke terror upon the unsophisticated Freshmen. Today the Freshmen completely demonstrated their fearlessness and moral courage. "They have spoken," and declared themselves. They resent the insults of the "slobbering Sophs" whom they aver were created brainless, and defy them. Now, it is about time for "doings."
One of the high schools of Missouri sent a pupil up here with a three terms credit in Theology. It is hardly necessary to make comment.
