KANSAS DEFEATED.
AN EASY VICTORY FOR WASHBURN.
HOME TEEN WEAK IN DE-
FENSE. FEATURES OF
THE GAME.
Bennie Owens the Happiest Man in Kansas.
The sun shone Saturday, but still the day was gloomy for University students. A victory at Ottawa and a week's hard practice had aroused much enthusiasm and a large crowd was out, as they firmly believed, to see Kansas soil the Washuba blue. Washburn came down in considerable foace. Besides brining eleven of the biggest men that ever handled a football, she brought nearly roo enthusiastic rooters.
The whistle blew at 3:40 and the man took their places. It was then seen that Owen expected to play. Kansas objected to having a coach in the game, and it was so me time before the point was settled. Owen finally agreed to withdraw. Kansas had the east goal and at 3:49 the game began.
As we are not writing a report for the benefit of the victors, we don't intend to describe the game in full.
Tucker kicked off and Stewart advanced the ball to the 20 yard line for Washburn; Moore then advanced for 10 yards Gill fumbled, and Tucker got the ball; Tucker then gained 3 yards, Jenkinson, 7 yards, Tucker 7 yards, Black was held, and then Tucker retrieved the loss by gaining 8 yards; Jenkinson went around left end for 5 yards nd after two more downs Kansas lost the ball; From that time it was a steady advance by Washburn until they scored the first touchdown. It took 20 minutes for Washburn to score; Moore kicked goal, and little more was done until the half was called.
At no time in the second half was Kansas in the game. Tucker and Algie did their best, but the opposing line was invincible; as for our own, Washburn broke through it whenever it wished. The halt ended with three more touchdowns, which made the final score 24 to 0.
Washburn has a good team; the line was heavy and impenetrable; as for the half-backs, they were perhaps the best that ever p'ayed on McCook field. Both distinguished themselves repeatedly, and to their efforts the victory is largely due. The team work was perfect; the tactics and methods were identical with those used by the 'ever victorious team' of '99. Owen learned his lesson well from Yost.
As for Kansas, the team was not at its best. Black was crippled, Jenkinson had a sprained ankle, and Odile a bad eye. However, the fact cannot be denied that the team was clearly outplayed. Tucker and Algie did very creditable work, but the team support was so wretched they could accomplish little.
The game has greatly discouraged the
fans and the team itself. Of course it is too bad, but there is still hope. Most of the men are new and virtually unpracticed Training will do wonders and we may yet have a team that we can cheer for.
FRESHMEN vs. SOPHOMORES
A Lively Fight on McCook Field Before the Washburn Game.
All last week stray '04's were painted around on sidewalks and fences. On Thursday night some daring fellow climbed up the stand pipe and painted out the sophomore sign that has been there for the last five or six months. They left in its place a big white '04. Of course this was a silent challenge, and the Sophomore gladly accepted it. No formal announcement of the scrap was made, but everyone understood that it was to come off Friday night on McCook.
About midnight something like twenty Sophomores went down to the grandstand to find out how things were. The Freshmen were there, and the Sophomores found out all they wanted to know. They were all tied up and laid out by the fence. Shortly after about fifty more Sophomores appeared, and the fight was on.
We won't attempt to describe it. The best description of it would be a picture of the grandstand taken early the next morning. Nearly all the roof on the west side was off and paint and boards were scattered around promiscuously. The truth of the matter seems to be that the Freshmen drubbed the Sophomores pretty severely. But the Sophomores are good at diplomacy, so they frightened the Freshmen by showing them the grand stand, and talking about the disciplinary committee. It worked like a charm, for the Freshmen began to talk compromise when they ought to have dictated terms.
The result of the whole matter was that both sides agreed not to paint, and to avoid any trouble, they sent carpenters down to repair the damage they had done the grand stand. At present the war eagle has gone to rest, and everything is quiet.
MEDICAL NOTES.
Up to the present the school of medicine of the Kansas University has not been represented in the columns of the WEEKLY, but hereafter we hope to occupy our share of space.
Dr. S. W. Williston, one of the ablest scholars in the United States, is dean of the school. It has a total enrollment of forty-six students—twenty-four in the second year class, and twenty-two in the first year class, besides two special students who already have the degree of M D. In the second year class there are eight candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science and three for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Last Thursday the Medical Society,
consisting of all students enrolled in the
school, med and elected following officers
for the ensuing year: Preen , B.K.Kibourne
The first year classes also have some candidates for degrees.
vice president, C A Ellars; secretary,
Miss Kuntz. The purpose of the society is
to arouse interest along the line of medical work. Much enthusiasm was manifested at the meeting and the society expects to have some very instructive and interesting lectures from the faculty and physicians during the winter. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, from 5 to 6, when Dr. Williston will address the society.
The southwest room of Medical hall has been fitted up as a reading room for the use of the students. All the current medical and physiological journals will be found there.
A brine tank with a capacity of ten barrels, has been put in place for use in connection with the ammonia freezing aparatus in the basement.
The dissecting room is being furnished with tables and will soon be ready for use.
Blackmar's Economics.
After a delay of some weeks Prof. Blackmar's new text book, "Economics," was received early last week from the publishers, Crane & Company, Topeka. The book is neatly gotten up, the typography being especially good.
In the first book Prof. Blackmar treats of the nature and scope of political economy, showing what economics is as a whole and its relation to the other sciences. Production, distribution, and consumption are taken up in the second book; the nature of each and the principles involved being discussed. The third book is devoted to the discussion of exchange and industry, and the various economic activities and problems arising from the same. The fourth book treats of public economics and the influence of state on private economics. Realizing the value and importance of investigation, Prof. Blackmar in the last, or fifth book, discusses the various methods of economic investigation and presents several suggestions or examples, giving a full bibliography for each. In this part of his work Prof. Blackmar is especially original. The value of his suggestions are very evident, and they will greatly aid the student in his economic investigations.
In his book Prof. Blackmar has endeavored to give the student a general view of the whole economic field, while giving especial attention to the generally accepted principles. An examination of the style shows it to be clear and concise, and direct to the point. Prof. Blackmar is to be congratulated, while the University has reason to be proud.
A. J Ruth, of the Senior Engineering class, returned this week. Since the close of school last June he has been working as topographer for one of the locating parties on a new road in Arkansas, the St St. Joseph and northern Arkansas.
Miss Winslow Hutchinson, 'oo, left her home in Carthage to go with her parent to Boston, where the family expects to settle. Miss Hutchinson expects to attend the Radcliffe college this year.

Fencing Club.
A new athletic field is opening in KU. For several years fencing has been taught the sophomores, but little has ever been accomplished outside of learning the positions and mere rudiments of the science. This fall, however, a number of the faculty and students who have had some experience in the work have organized a fencing club, to be able to continue the practice. The organization was perfected Monday. Prof Arthur Walker was elected president. A committee to draft a constitution was appointed consisting of Messrs. Sharrard, Baxter and Naismith. The club is open to any one who is able to carry the work. The meetings are from 5 to 6 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Prof Naismith, though only a member like the rest, will be looked to for much of the instruction.
