KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
3
NEBRASKA TO DAY.
The Last Game on McCook Field is with the Nebraska Giants-Kansas Crippled.
The last home game of the season will be played this afternoon. The Nebraska's left Lincoln at 1:45 yesterday afternoon in order to be here early and rest before the game. Their team has been playing winning ball, and they are confident of success.
Kansas on the other hand is crippled. Odle is home with a smashed ankle, Wilcox's hip is not well, Tucker has two ribs broken, and Algie had his side wrenched. A sadder catalogue of misbaps could scarcely be imagined. A number of the old stars, such as Piatt, Blockberger, Coleman and Higgins have been out to give the boys a little coaching, and this alone is a hopeful sign. We hope for the best, however, and if every student is out to help root, Kansas may still prove decidedly interesting.
SOCIETY.
Miss Louise Miller, of Olathe, pledged herself to the Kappas last week.
