Last Wednesday evening was football evening at the Merchants Athletic Club. It was the event of their annual banquet and smoker to the K. U. foot ball team. This year the Haskell team was invited also. The early part of the evening the boys bowled. Once a fellow would make a clean sweep and the next roll he would miss the whole alley. But it was all right. The boys were there for a good time and they had it. Then all went to the banquet hall where the Club had prepared a spread. The Jayhawker Quartette sang and then speeches were in order. Professors Marvin, Burdick and Green from the University all spoke and Mr. Dixon of Haskell Institute also responded. Mr. Barteldes, the toastmaster, called on Captain Jenkinson, Coach Outland and Captain Archiquette of the Indians, and then Clyde Allphin of the K. U. team spoke on behalf of the foot ball boys. Clyde gave a good talk and the WEEKLY prints it in full: Mr. Toastmaster, members of the Athletic Club, to the faculty present, and to the K. U. and Haskell foot ball teams: This is certainly a pleasure and a privilege to be extended an invitation to speak to such a representative and progressive class of citizens. When I received an invitation to this magnificent banquet, together with an invitation to make a few remarks, I was at a loss to know what to say. I was confident, and I find that I was not mistaken, that it would be very difficult to make a talk and not repeat some of the things said by the array of talent which has preceded me. Nevertheless, I will contribute my mite. To the team of 1901, I wish to say that much praise is due them for the struggle they have had against great odds in keeping together. Handicapped on all sides as they have been, it certainly is to their credit that they went through the season as well as they did. With a lot of new material to start with, the first game was lost. At about this time and in the few succeeding weeks several old players of former K. U. teams entered school, donned football uniforms and succeeded Fine Shoe Repairing for Students by Aug. Hackbarth, At the Howe-Starkweather Shoe Co., 829 Mass. St. in making the team. As a result, prospects for a good team became much brighter and the next game was won by an overwhelming score. On or about the middle of October the team, together with its belongings, hiked to a little town in Northeastern Missouri to do battle with the bone doctors. After the smoke of battle had cleared we found our boys in an almost hopeless condition, bleeding and bruised from the ungentlemanly attacks of our opponents. This game seemed to be our undoing and from that time on our men have been compelled to drop out one by one, until, in the team making the last stand against Missouri in Kansas City we see only a remnant of the former team. Again we have been greatly handicapped by the sickness of our coach. When Mr. Outland arrived from the east he was laboring under the illness of malaria fever. Many times has he appeared on the field for work when he should have been at his room and under the care of a physician. Of course, one working under such disadvantages could not be as successful as he otherwise would. Nevertheless we feel as if Mr. Outland did his best and no one could have done better under the circumstances. To Captain Jenkinson belongs much credit for the way in which he handled the team, last year a Captain was elected, but upon the opening of the the school yearword was received from Algie that it would be impossible for him to be back in school. This cast a gloom over the supporters of football, and at once attention was turned to the selection of another man for the place, as a result, he was unanimously elected captain. He at once took hold of affairs where they were left off and has worked hard for the success of the team. It is true we did not win all of the games nor did we win out against Missouri, but I see no reason in this for discouragement, or a cause to be downhearted. Just think this is the first time in six years that Missouri has had an opportunity to feel jubilant over us and we believe it will be six more! Everyone will acknowledge that it is better for the sport that they did win, but oh! it was so hard for us to lose and enliven To the Haskell team, much honor is due you for the good games you have played this year. A good feeling has been promoted between the two teams this year as has never been known before. Your victory has been our victory, and our defeat has been your defeat! May this expression of good will still continue. To the faculty members, who have supported us we wish to express our appreciation. Nothing does more for the game and nothing does more to bring forth the renewed energy of a player than to see on the side lines members of the faculty of the institution which you are attending, cheering and waving their colors and helping you on to victory. Sorry to relate, though, there are some who do not give us their support, but instead, are doing all in their power to do away with the game, even to the introducing of a resolution before the executive council to do away with the training table, coach and out-of-town games. This seems to me to be so very inconsistent, and such a preposterous idea. Everyone knows, at least those who understand the game, that it would be impossible to have a successful team without coach and training table. Football is a game for men physically fit to play it, and in order to attain this fitness a certain diet is necessary for the building of muscle. Do you think Harvard or Yale will be without coach or training table next year, or any of the first-, second- or third-rate college? Look at Michigan! She realizes her mistake for the past two years in having a successful football team, and, as a result, it is given out that Coach Yost has signed a three year's contract to coach them. Watch Michigan and see if she does not attain a superiority such as she has never reached before as an institution of learning. I sincerely believe that the members of the council realize that it would be a backward step to abolish football, and next year we will see a team in the field and under the captaincy of Mr. Nofsinghr, one that will be a credit to Kansas. To the business management we feel very grateful for the luxurious mode of treatment extended to us, while on our different trips. The season has been a success financially I understand, to the amount of about two thousand dollars through the efficient management of Mr. Foster, and after the payment of old debts, etc., there will be a balance of $1100 or $1200 in the treasury. And what do you think, some of the people connected with the University are already worrying over what should be done with the surplus, and, I understand, are even hinting that it should be given to the organ fund. Shame, shame, on them! To the members of the Athletic Club we know of no words to express our thanks to you for this most elegant repast, and delightful time you have shown A certainly is an awkward Continued on last Page.
