THE NEW COACH FOR KANSAS.
Dr. John II. Outland and Something of His Record as Shown by Official Authority.
GENERAL ATHLETIC NOTES.
As was announced in last week's issue John Outland the famous Pennsylvania half-back and ex-Jayhawker, will coach the K. U. foot ball squad next season. Outland was a member of the K. U. team in 1895 and 1890, going from here to Pennsylvania where in addition to captaining the U. of P. team of 1898, he was assigned the position of half-back on the all-America eleven of 1897 and 1898. The following is a clipping from Spaulding's Official Foot Ball Guide for 1899, reviewing the previous season:
"Outland showed himself one of the best general runners that ever stood, behind a line. By this I practically mean that he could either buck the line or go out around the end. Besides that, he was cool when once under headway, and had the weight and strength to throw off a man when necessary. In two important games by exceptional runs he turned the tables in Pennsylvania's favor when they were behind. And, after all, that is what we must judge by—not what a player might do, but what he did do, and in this Outland stands forth without challenge as next to and very close to Dibbles."
We don't care particularly to air any old-timer at this time, but we do feel as though we could step some six inches higher, from the fact that our head coach next year will come with a record behind him. $\triangleright$ either must we lose sight of the fact that the best coach would be superfluous without the support of the University body as well as the men on the field.
The State field meet of Iowa takes place Friday, May 24.

The birthdays of two world known men were observed at the regular Chapel services during the week. An unusually good attendance has gratified the chapel committee, and each speaker rewarded the audience by profitable talks. Rev. Smith of Leavenworth was the leader on Monday.

the occasion for an excellent address by Prof. Hodder which thought out the characteristics of Lincoln—honesty, kindness and good judgment; the universal grief at the time of Lincoln's death was referred to as indicative of the love which existed for him.
CHAPEL.
"Darwin as a scientist" was the theme of Dr. Williston Wednesday morning; Charles Darwin began to uphold the theory of Evolution with the whole world against him, but lived to see every scientist come to his position. Prof Templin spoke of "Darwin as a Philosopher," on Thursday morning and brought to the people a side of the scientist's life which was not generally known. Friday Dr. Naismith spoke of Responsibility and Miss Van Cleve of the Fine Arts department sang a very beautiful solo.

The California State University has secured Mr. Walter Christie the former Princeton trainer, will take charge of all their athletic teams for two years at $1200 a year. Mr. Christie will go to California immediately to begin training the baseball team. Thirty seven men have already signed the roll and are candidates for places on the team.
Some of the best publications which come to the exchange table of the WEEKLY are monthly publications of High Schools. "The Spectator" of Fremont Neb., "The Neb. City Anchor," of Nebraska City and the "High School Diigests" of Grand Island, deserve a special mention. They are full of good reading matter which is of general interest to students, besides plenty of local news.

A. contingent arrived an hour of music and conference was followed by an adjournment to the City Y. M. C.

THE QUILL CLUB.
Thursday at four o'clock the Quill Club held its regular meeting. Mrs Hoss the newly elected president was in the chair. There was an unusual interest shown in the meeting.

K. U. WINS.
The 'Varsity Five Won First League Game of the Season.
An Interesting Game-'Varsity 28, Y. M, 12,
The basketball game at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, Friday evening, was interesting, although one-sided. A rather small but appreciative audience witnessed the game and cheered their respective favorites as occasions offered. Neither side showed much skill at team work, but K. U. clearly outclassed her opponents. Fouls were liberally called on the Y. M. C. A. boys, while the 'varsity players were more fortunate in this respect.
W. A. Smith who has been playing sub, center and back, was put in forward at the beginning of the game and showed up in good form, getting four goals. H. Owens played his customary good game, while Atkinson did good work for the Y. M. C. A. The line up was as follows:
Forwardz - Y, M C A, L, Williams,
Alford; K, U., F, Owens, A. W. Smith,
Center - Y, M C, A, Atkinson; K,
U.. H. Owens.
Backs--Y, M, C, A., W. Williams,
Yahn; K, U., Sawtie, Smith.
The final score stood 28 to 12 in favor of K. U.
