717 Mass. St. Ground floor.
For a half dozen days previous to the election on Tuesday, there was terrible and tumultuous mumbling in the political sky. There were a dozen storms brewing each trying to be the master of ceremonies. Reverting to earthly things the tumult on Monday settled down to a plain hard contest between two factions, to see which would elect the Athletic Board for 1901-2. On one side was a powerful machine backed by the Betas and a large following of Barbarians, On the other was a terrible octapus, redtinted, which bore Sigma Chi, Phi Delt and more Barbarian colors. It was a magnificent contest where Greek and Barbarian met and defeated Greek and Barbarian. It was the greatest political event in ten years of history of the Varsity. There were more politicians flooding the corridors than human eye ever beheld. Every man on the hill was in one way or another interested in the fray. There were politicians from the Freshman class, two by four in stature, mixing and working with old timers who are urging into statesman. It was amusing, thrilling exciting and even nerve wrenching.
It was not so much who should be on the athletic board, but who should yield the preponderance of power for the year and the year to come. Was it the Beta-Barb organization or the Sigma Chi-Phi Delt-Barbarian crowd. There is to be a new epoch in the political history of the University, the crucial test came on Tuesday and all far seeing politicians saw the change and figured to be the champions of the new arena. The perpetuity or the decadence of the power of the factions was to be settled, and the power on the throne was to be established.
Strong cliques and potent rulers have given place to rambling disorganized throngs new bosses are to be germated. Out of the hoard is to come the controlling board. Tuesday was the incentive moment in the new political drama the tide may change and it may
not.
ED ANDERSON Restaurant and Confectionery. Fruits and Oysters
The Beta-Barb machine triumphed magnificently but the Phi Delt-Sigma Chi-Barb organization fought in a masterly way that demanded most hearty respect from their opponents. Such a masterly, gentlemanly contest never before prevailed. For the present the contest is over but what may spring up or what new power may evince itself and claim the rule is to be conjectured. The following men were elected on the Independent ticket:
President, J. W. Green; Vice Pres., Archie Hogg; Treas., Clyde Alphin; Sec., C. C. Jones; Athletic Board, E.B. Black, J.E. McDonald, E.E. Sallee, and O.B. Seyster; Chairman foot ball com., C.E Wakefield; Chairman base ball com., O.L. Hankins; Chairman basket ball com., Fred Owens; Chairman boating com., Chas. Brooks; Chairman Tennis com., Frank Foster; Chairman track athletic com., W.G.Sherret.

ATHLETICS.
'Varsity Loses to Ottawa — A Long Run for Only One Touchdown.
The game between K. U. and Ottawa resulted in a complete and decisive victory for the Baptists by a score of 16 to 5. K. U.'s touchdown was made on a fluke. It looked as though K. U. would not score when Hicks, the left end, came out of a scrimmage with the ball and with good interference he carried the ball within four yards of Ottawa's goal. The Varsity insisted on having a touchdown and pushed the ball over just as time was called.
Ottawa outclassed K. U., in experience and speed. Our linemen were powerless before the rushes of Ottawa's backs. Ottawa used her mass plays very effectively, there being only a few of our men who knew how to break them up. Nofsinger distinguished himself by his good work in breaking up interference and by his teaching. Ottawa made most of her gains through the line our end, proving a stumbling block for them.
Morrison, the Kansas City man made a costly fumble of a punt in the second half, which took some life out of the game. Jenkinson played his usual good game at full King, Carter and Jackson played a big part of the game for Ottawa, King's plunges being especially good gains.
The officials Heller as unpire Elliot as referee, and White and Kline as linemen gave good satisfaction.
The team came up strong last Monday evening and put in some good hard practice all week. During the early part of the week, however, Coach Outland was ill and the team was obliged to get along as best it could without his continuous supervision. The long rest after the Ottawa game seemed to take some of the spirit out of the men and the practice of Monday and Tuesday evenings was not characterized by the lively scrimmages which were so prominent in preparation for the Ottawa game.
NO. 5.
By Wednesday night the usual crowd of players and several new recruits were on the field and the practice was fast and furious. Davidson, the man from Glasco, did not disappoint the side lines. He is a fast, nervy, experienced player and will prove a valuable addition to the team. Alphin and Hess need no comment. These three men will strengthen the team wonderfully where strength is most needed—in experience.
Thursday night's practice was undoubtedly one of the liveliest of the year. Alphin distinguished himself by making an eighty-yard run for a touchdown. Buzi showed up well at quarter and Hess proved his ability as a powerful center.
The unparalleled growth of the Athletic association will no doubt encourage the team and the managers. A large crowd of enthusiastic rooters is guaranteed for the next game. Why not organize a rooters' club while conditions are favorable? The silence at the Ottawa game was actually painful. With due respect for the visiting team it is our duty during the game to aid our team in making it as uncomfortable for them as possible. Let the numerous holders of season tickets be present at the next game and prove their fidelity to K. U, by cheering the team whether it wins or loses.
The students and town people who
attended the Haskell-Medic game last Saturday were very enthusiastic over the work of the Indians. It is yet too early to pick the winner in western football, but Saturday's game seems to indicate that Haskell has the best team among the western schools. Haskell is a part of Lawrence and the institution will get liberal patronage from Lawrence people and University students.
--reparations are now under way for the regular fall tournament with Nebraska University. Last year there were two tournaments, one at Lawrence in the fall and one at Lincoln in the spring. The universities have mutually agreed to meet in this way each year.
Basket Ball.
Basket ball practice was begun ast Wednesday evening. A great many players were out, and there is going to be sharp competition for positions on the team.
Among the promising candidates are Seyster, the two Alfords, Shipman, Ed. Shepard, Gould and Fees. It is hoped that Hess will play this year, as he will strengthen the team considerably. Many of the new men who were out give promise of becoming strong players. The men will practice every night in order to get in shape for some hard games that the schedule will contain.
The burning of the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium presents a perplexing question to basket ball enthusiasts. Where will the team play? OurUniversity gymnasium is not large enough for practice, to say nothing of playing an inter-collegiate game in it. Dr. Naismith has reserved one end of the gymnasium for the basket ball team, but there is only enough room for practice in passing the ball much of the work must be done out of doors.
Let us hope and work for a new gymnasium which will be consistent with the growth and expansion of K.U. in other lines than athletics While we are waiting for a gymnasium let us encourage the basket ball team and do what we can to help team in securing a place to play.
mmm
Tennis.
A local tournament will be held here in a few days to decide who will represent K. U. Such a tournament is now in progress at Lincoln. It is probable that Farnsworth and Raymond, the team that was sent here last year, will come again this year. It is hard to tell who will be victorious in the local tournament, as several of the old tennis players is here however, and will be heard from. There is ample opportunity for new material, and it is to be hoped that it will be forthcoming. The Athletic board will probably offer tennis K's this year and in addition there will be a trip to Nebraska for the winners.
mmm
Golf.
The fact that more students are getting credit for physical training by playing golf this year than ever before, is evidence of the increasing popularity of the game.
The course has been moved and the constant work of the green- keeper tends to make the grounds more and more attractive.
Correspondence has been begun looking toward matches with Leavenworth, Kansas City and Topeka in the immediate future. The club was never in better condition than at present.
