WASHBURN TODAY.
FIRST GAME ON M'COOK FIELD-
WASHBURN EXPECTS TO
SHOW K.U.
Mr. Bonnie Owens Has a Team,
Indications are that lovers of foot ball will see an exciting game this afternoon. Washburn claims the best team that she has had in years. Owen and Moore, two of our last year's men, are playing with them.
Washburn's line is unusually heavy, and they have good fast players behind to use every advantage. Clark, the left guard, weighs 265, and White, the right guard, weighs 235. They will make rather a hard proposition to solve.
Washburn's first game was against the Indians last Saturday. Haskell lost by a score of 11 to 0. Washburn made another touchdown just as time was called, but it was a second too late. Last year K. U. with her crack team worked hard to defeat the Indians by practically the same score. This would indicate that the teams will be pretty evenly matched for the game today.
On the other hand the K U men are getting in better form. The game with Ottawa has helped their weak points and strengthened them in their good plays. The team is beginning to have confidence in itself and that is over half the game. No changes are likely to be made from the line up used at Ottawa. Every K U student ought to be out and cheer for the boys this afternoon. You will feel better for a week if you come.

BIG REPUALICAM MEETING.
The University McKinley and Roosevelt Club have made arrangements to hold a big meeting at the opera house on Wednesday evening, October 10, at which J. K Cubbison of Kansas City will speak. Mr. Cubbison has a national reputation as a speaker and nowhere will one hear the principles of the republican party more ably expanded. His speeches abound with sparkling wit and brilliant oratory.
The meeting will be called early,at 7:30, so that Mr. Cubbison can take the 9:32 train back to Kansas City.
Congressman Bowersock will probably preside and also address the meeting. The Rough Rider troop will make its first public appearance that night.
On next Monday night the McKinley and Roosevelt club will meet at the court house to transact some important business. Local speakers will be on hand to address the club.
Next Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock in Snow Hall lecture room, the Biological Club will hold its first meeting. The Club will reorganize for the year and elect officers. All students in the biological classes are invited to attend. Tuesday, Prof. Barber will address the meeting on "Medical Men and Methods in Biological Laboratories at Berlin University.
Prof. O, E. McMeans left Wednesday with his family for the Erst. The Engineering School will feel his absence, for nobody has anything to say of him but praise. Mr. McMeans received his B. S. from Rose Polytechnic in 1896 and after several years of professional work was appointed in the summer of 1899 to fill the position of Assistant Professor of Mechanical Drawing. He was just the man for the place, and his classes in Freshman Drifting and Machine Design did better work than had ever been accomplished before. Besides the drafting several oclases in Testing and Hydraulic Laboratory were under his charge. Much as he was liked Mr. McMeans thought it best to take the place when he was offered a position in active life with a much more remunerative salary. He will now be found with the Richmond Iron Works, in Richmond, Indiana.
BIOLO 3ICAL CLUB
A Warm Time in Which Faculty, Seniors
Juviors and Sophomores All Play
FRESHMEN ELECT.
Their Part.
Freshman may be green and insignificant, but they set the world moving just the same. The faculty has decided to call in the National Guard if they ever intend to do any more electing the WEEKLY was seriously mistaken when it said the Freshmen met Friday after Hygiene and quietly elected their officers. The affair came off Saturday morning as scheduled. Listen to an unbiased report of the same.
As early as sun up a few valiant fresh men ran up the hill to see if the coast was clear. It was, so they came back and rustled up their brethren. It seems they didn't let the girls know very much about it, for only one or two reported. By 8 o'clock a goodly number of Freshmen were wandering around and getting acquainted. About this time the Sophs and Seniors also began to arrive. They all wore a pious look and were enthusiastic over measures for the good of the class. They all carried registration cards for this year which they had faked from the registrar.
A little later the Juniors appeared, and then there were head shakings, threats, promises, and solomun vows to show the Sophomores a merry time. The election was to be held in room 16 at the end of the hall The Juniors lined up at the entrance to the hall and began to inspect applicants. The Freshmen passed, but so many Sophomores were rejected that before long they made a grand rush and came in any way. The door to the class room was shut and a good lively scrap was on. The Juniors insist that the Sophomores were nearly all out and the Sophomores that they were nearly all in, when a loud shout of command was heard.
A new factor had appeared. The Freshmen positively grew white, the Sophomores said something about the disciplinary committee, and the Juniors decided they had been in school long enough any way. It was in reality the chairman of the committee. He ordered the Sophomores to leave, and the Juniors cheered. Then he told the Juniors they were not needed, and the Sophomores cheered. The Chancellor also came to lend his help and quiet was finally partially restored. All in all it was a real jolly time. The Freshmen know now something about what May day is like.
The Freshmen, after the battle was over, attended the following officers:
The Freshmen, after the battle was over, elected the following officers:
President, Mr. Anderson.
Vice president, Mr. Stroup.
Treasurer, Mr. De Moss.
Secretary, Miss O'Brien.
Sergeant at arms, Mr. Schrank.
In an adjoining room an indignation meeting was held, and the following officers were elected then:
The faculty of the Haverford College, Penn. has recently forbidden the existence of any Greek letter or other secret societies in that institution. The reasons given for this action are that while the secret societies may be of utility in some of the larger universities, where social unfitty is a practical impossibility, yet in most institutions, and especially in the small colleges, they are of positive harm, as they interfere with college unity, draw abnormal social lines, enter into athletic and other elections, and divert loyalty from the college itself to the society —M.

KANSAS WINS.
A HARD FOUGHT GAMS AT OTTAWA,
SCORE: 6 TO 0.
The Baptists Expected To Win. But Superior Team Work Defeats
Them
The 'Varsity foot ball eleven returned in good shape Tuesday, after a hard fought game with the heavy Ottawa team
Ottawa has the heaviest line in the west, and some very fast backs and ends this year, and consequently the Baptists expected to crown their seven year's of defeat with one crushing victory. While the score was only 6 to 0, in favor of Kansas, it was apparent during the whole game that the jayhawkers are much the more evenly balanced team.
The game was slow owing to the heat and the long grass which covered the field. Almost two hours were required to play the two twenty-five minute halves. The giants in the Ottawa line proved too solid to be moved on a hot day and after a few unsuccessful bucks the Varsity devoted itself to run and made good gains. Ottawa's style of play was just the opposite; her big linemen would fall on the Varsity forwards and then Cook would make a dive over the heap and gain a few yards. At the ends the Baptists could do nothing. Algie took care of everything on the left side of the line and Whitlaw and Clark did the same on the right. The kicking of both full backs was fair. Black's kicks averaged about 35 yards and Lambertson's were about the same.
When the teams lined up Ottawa had the kick off and Kansas had the wind in her favor. Ottawa kicks off 35 yards to Tucker, who rushes the ball back 30 yards. Then the 'Varsity experiments on bucks and after getting to the middle of the field loses the ball on downs. Ottawa bucks the line for 20 yards and in turn loses on downs. After Tucker carries the ball ten yards K U is forced to kick and Black sends the ball 40 yards, but an offside play is charged and Ottawa has the pigskin on the Javawhakers' 45 yard line. Ottawa fumbles and K U gets the ball only to fumble and lose it. Ottawa fails to gain and loses the ball on an attempted fake kick. Kansas runs the ends for 20 yards. Ottawa gets the ball and recovers the loss, but bumfles and Kansas gets it in time to make 20 yards and land the ball in the middle of the field.
Tucker kicks off 40 yards in the second half and Cook returns to Cook carries the ball a few times and makes 90 yards, but K U braces up and holds Ottawa 3 times. The giants fail to give way and Kansas falls on downs. Ottawa gets 20 yards on an offside play but at once loses on downs Clark takes Whitlaw's place and Tucker is called upon for a touchdown.
Tucker does most of the running and K U goes forty yards nearer, but loses 40 yards on off side work. Then Tucker resumes his journey and on the second down carries the pigskin 20 yards for a touchdown. Black kicks goal. Judy takes Powell's place and Brady goes to right half. Ottawa kicks 25 yards and K U loses on downs. Ottawa tries hard to score but Kansas gets the ball and kicks 30 yards. Lamberton kicks back and the ball rolls 40 yards before it is stopped by Kansas. Black gets his knee twisted and Vincent goes to full. K U fails to advance beyond her 10 yard line and Tucker kicks out of danger. Ottawa goes 10 yards, and then Lambertson fails on a field goal. Tucker punts out 35 yards, and the game ends with the ball on Kansas' 45 yard line.
During the first half, Kansas gained over 100 yards, while Oakita only carries the ball about 35 yards. In the second half each team gained about 80 yards.
Coach Boynton is well satisfied with the showing made by the team with its six plays. The team went against a hard proposition, and had to work hard to win, but the game got the men together in a way that promises well for the future. It is safe to say that Ottawa will not be so hard to beat when the two teams meet again next week.
NOTES OF THE GAME.
jimmy Lacey, the assistant manager,
impersonated Governor Roosevelt on the
trip. He made speeches from the rear of the train at every station.
Buzzi fumbled once.
Clark did some good work blocking for runs around his end.
Cook, Ottawa's full back, does not care whether there is a hole or not; if there is not one he dives over the pile.
Ottawa's 250 pound guard looks fully 17 years old. Morton and he indulged in quite a little repartee during the game.
Carter's long passes for punts were perfect. There is nothing the matter with Kansas' snapper.
"Spec" Shiras only weighs 128 pounds, but he managed to get the Kansas backs behind the lines several times.

Football practice this week has been much more vigorous than any time before this year. The players realize that there will be a hard game on Saturday, and Coach Boynton is doing his best to get the green men in line for the best exhibition of the season. Long, a new man weighing about 200, came in from Coffeville Wednesday, and will try for a guard position, but will probably not be able to get in the game by Saturday, and Powell will play the place. There are not likely to be any changes from the line-up of last week in the game for Saturday. Manager Davis has arranged a game for the second eleven with the Midland college team at Atchison on October 19, and hopes to get other games in the near future. The game here on Saturday between the Varsity and Washburn will probably be called at 3 o'clock.
