Foot Ball Season Opens—The First Game Will Be Played Here Today—Forty Men Have Been Trying for places.
OUTLOOK FOR 1900.
Good Men and More Enthusiasm—Weight-Management Today's Game-Probable Line Up-The Team From Ottawa.
Foot ball stock at K. U. has risen. It is now at par and before today closes it will be at a premium. Until this week, prospects have not been especially flattering for sport on the gridiron. New men were slow in coming out, and those that did come were too light. It seemed that scarcely any of the old men would be back. The fans shook their heads, and everybody wondered if K. U. really would have a foot ball team.
But the hoped for has happened. Some heavy men have appeared; Buzzi came back; Tucker refused an offer at Manhattan to stay with the team; Odle, Morton, Bright, Carter and Powell came out, so now, though the team is not as heavy as some former K U teams, yet it is much heavier than at first it seemed it would be. Part of the time as high as forty men have been out practising. Nearly every night there are three teams in line for play; this is what makes a good first team: After all, the scrubs deserve a good daal of the credit that a first team gets.
Coach Boynton understands his business. He works quietly but thoroughly. The dummy for tackling which he uses is new at K U but, is considered indispensable in the east. Every evening the coach gives the men practice at tackling and catching the ball, and then lines them up for actual play.
Four of the men who are trying to places are last year's men. They are Captain Wilcox, Tucker Bucci and Algie, Woolcox weighs 189 and can be depended upon for right tackle. Tucker has been winning favor in the practice games. He is quick and sure. His weight is 185 and he will no doubt be left tackle. Bucci is being tried for quarter back and is giving good satisfaction. He weighs 160. Algie, weight 149, is a fine man at left end. Among the new players Carter is the heaviest. He weighs 206 pounds and is showing up splendily for center. Five years ago he played in the Dickinson county high school team, which was then the best team in central Kansas. Odle, weight 162, is from the same place and he will probably be left half. He is a fast sprinter and has a good deal of experience. Morton, from western Kansas, is trying for left guard. He is a man of premise and weights 186. Powell, who has been playing right guard, is a little light for the place at 172. Jenkinson, who played with the scrubs last year is showing up well as right half. His weight is 150 Black, from New York, weighs 168, has had high school experience, and is trying for full back. Weiland, weighs 140, has been playing right. He is a little too light but is a good player. Other men besides are being constantly practiced. Copping, weight 153, Vincent, weight 180, and Brady are the other men who are de veloping fast. Meehan wrenched his knee so badly in one of the practice games that it will be some time before he can come on the field.
The life-up will not be definitely known until just before the game.§ During which, time the several different men will probable be tried at the various places
The probable line-up, however, will be as follows:
Center...Carter
Left guard...Morton
Right guard...Powell
Left tackle...Tucker
Right tackle...Capt Wilcox
Left end...Algie
Right end...Whitlaw
Quarter...Buzzi
Left half...Odle
Right half...Jenkinson
Full...Black
Ottawa has been having the same kind
Ottawa has been having the same kind of trouble that K H had. There were
not enough old players and heavy men. A large number of players have been out, however, sometimes as many as thirty-four to forty, and they have some really good material. The last reports say that their team will be quite strong. With the K. U, team somewhat deficient in length of training, the game is likely to be an interesting one. Ottawa was the only local队 that scored against K. U last year. J O Evans, who played end last year, will play the same place and captain in the team. Further than this their line up has not been determined, Ottawa has a good schedule this year, including games with Haskell, Washburn, Emporia, Warrensburg, William Jewel and the medics.
THE TIGERS.
Prospects Bright at Missouri State Uni
versity.
From the daily papers we learn that Missouri expects to play winning football this year. There is nothing very startling about this, however, for Missouri's spirits are always high until after the Thanksgiving game.
The Times remarks that the aggregation will be the strongest sent since the Tigers used to wallop the Jayhawkers. It would be interesting to know just when those times were. So far, out of all the games, Missouri has won but two.
Still Missouri has some good material, K U men remember the compliments the last year Tigers received from our coach Dr Heatherington, the physical director, has charge of the boys. Dulfz, assisted by Murphy, is head Coach, Both Fultz and Murphy are eastern men, having coached and played at Amherst and Brown
The make-up of the team is also good Craig, Kruse and Thurman are old heavy weights who will make the team. They have bucked the K. U. line before. Washer and Cooper of last year's team are also back. Besides these there are some very promising second team men.
K U. is interested in the Tigers. We hope they will have a good team and much success, only on Thanksgiving day we reserve our good wishes and hope to see K. U. again the victor.
Word comes from Lincoln that the outlock for a winning team is exceedingly bright Nine men of last year's term are back in the game while about thirty new men are out trying for places on the team. The new coach, Booth of Princeton, will try at the outset a kicking game, which will be continued throughout the season if the men can be taught to punt well.
Nebraska Hopeful.
The big game of the season will be with Minnesota at Lincoln, on Thanksgiving day, and both management and men are confident of success. —Minnesota Daily.

K. U. BRYAN CLUB.
G.C.WOLF
Organise Thursday Night With a Good Memberhip.
917 Massachusetts Street
About 150 students met in old Music hall Tuesday evening to complete the organization of the K U Bryan club. The committee on permanent organization, appointed at the previous meeting, read its report, which was unanimously adopted.
In the election of officers, true to the spirit of democracy, each candidate had to prove his fitness for the desired position by a three minutes' talk. This method proved the fact that when it comes to oratory, several second editions of Bryan are members of the organization. W F Mowry was elected president and Blaine Moore secretary. A permanent executive committee consisting of Messrs. Cassity, Johnson and Calkins was elected, whose duty is to provide for speakers, confer with other political organizations and procure and distribute literature among enlightened college students who believe political meetings were originated for the purpose of, making personal attacks on members of the opposition party or who distribute campaign buttons as a means of gaining office.
A membership committee consisting of one member from each class in the different schools was, at the bidding of the society, appointed by the president. All students who wish to vote for Bryan in their home precincts should at once hand their names to this committee or to the president or secretary of this organization.
The club then decided to make Music hall its permanent headquarteres and hold regular meetings every Friday night. Good speakers both local and out of town will be had each夜, and there will be no lack of sound political discussion, as well as enthusiasm. If the harmony and spirit of the entire fusion forces may be judged from this meeting McKinley may as well pack his accoutrements and hire a dray for his moving day is not far off.
After giving a good old "Rock Chalk" that jarred the paving brick the full length of Massachusetts street the club adjourned.
Freshman Class Meeting.
The Freshmen are learning, and experience is proving their best teacher. Some of their long-headed politicians called a meeting the other day. The invitations said, "Everybody come," everybody came. At least most of the sophomores were there, and many juniors, who certainly weren't loyal to their freshmen cousins. It was in fact a sophomore jubilee. The sonhs invented a freshman yell.
Sing it out, squall it out.
Fresh milk, Butter I am Class of naughty four.
And some of the Freshmen joined in before they realized just what they were doing
Strope and Junior Engineer Little were nominated for temporary chairmen. Strope was declared elected, and finally amid Sophomore yells, the meeting was adjourned until Saturday, the chairman decla ring that only students with freshmen enrollment cards would be admitted.
The adjourned meeting was only a bluff, and after hygiene Friday, the class quietly met and elected its officers.
Handkerchief Bazaar.
Students do-drop in. Where? At the Congregational church. When? Friday, October fifth. Why? To buy a handkerchief; also an apron. A good surper will be served from six to eight oclock for nineteen cents, by the Daughters of Plymouth.

OTTAWA CONFIDENT
THE HEAVIEST TEAM IN YEARS EXPECTS TO DEFEAT KANSAS.
A K,U,man who has been in Ottawa the last few days has just returned. He says the Ottawa team is confident of victory in this afternoon's game. They have a heavy man in center. The left guard weighs 240 pounds, the right guard 220. They use a new position in playing, almost facing center. Behind the line the men are active and in good form. Today's game must be fought for.
