KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
THANKSGIVING GAME.
KANSAS NEEDS THE CLOSING GAME.
Next Thursday Kansas' checkered foot ball career for 1900 will be finished. We have had our ups and downs, with the majority decidedly in favor of the downs. This is not the place to offer excuses. The point is, we need the closing game, and if the student body still remains loyal, we will have it. Kansas will be in good form by Thursday. Missouri certainly has a team in our class, but that is all the better. We want a good clean exhibition of foot ball with Kansas in the lead. Tucker, Odle, Algie, Wilcox and Jenkinson will be in the game. The other players are reliable. Every one will do his best for the crimson and the blue.
Are you going to see the game? That is the question which will decide whether or not the season of 1900 will end in victory or defeat. Every student who remains in Lawrence should plan to see the game and go prepared to root.
Emporia Game.
K. U. is not saying much about that Emporia game; The team was not our regular team, simply because most of the men were crippled. However, those that did go evidently lost their nerve. Emporia played a fast game and K. U. played a correspondingly poor one. The three touch-downs were made in the first half. In the last half the boys took a brace and kept Emporia from scoring again. K. U.'s line-up was: Center, Nordine; guards, Pouppit and Alphin; tackles, Blockberger and Shrant; ends, Elder and Hart; halves, Quigley and Jenkinson; full, Vincent.
Foot Ball Challenge.
The Sigma Chi's have foot ball ambition. This year they feel able to win the inter-frat championship, as the following has been
posted on the bulletin board:
CHALLENGE.
On behalf of Alpha Zi chapter of Sigma Chi, I challenge any and all chapters of Greek letter fraternities of the University of Kan, sas, to a game of foot ball to be played on or before Dec.15, 1900. Date of game officials and time of halves to be fixed by managers of respective teams.
ARTHUR R. WILLIAMS, Mgr. for Sigma Chi.
HARD TIMES.
As Beta Theta Pi claims the inter-frat championship, we should like to see them defend their claim.
Hunger and an Empty Larder Drive K. U. Boys to Reekless Deeds.—Caught with Fowl Blood on their Hands.
The day was cold and the night was colder. The sky was covered with clouds. The cupboard was bare. "What shall we eat, and what shall we give our friends to eat?" That was the question that gnawed on empty stomach. "To the south there dwells a man," they said, "who has even too many Thanksgiving turkeys. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Verily, let us go and take." Thus spoke the four and they went in a rig to the home of the turkey. They took and in turn were taken. The Wakarusa vigilance committee sleeps with an ear and eye open. They took their prey to the cooler, presumably to put it on ice. The next morning there was running to and fro. Frat men whispered in each others ears, and verily it seems to have taken the mighty man of the "keep straight" committee to set them on their feet.
the Juniors held a meeting Wednesday and appointed Clyde Nichols to collect money for the foot ball sweaters.
Miss May Sexton will spend her Thanksgiving holidays with Miss Louise Smith in Topeka.
