A OUT FOOTBALL.
SCHEDULE OF GAMES ANNOUNCED.
---
More Old Players Reporting and Prospects Are Better.
KANSAS WILL HAVE A WINNING
TEAM.
Though perhaps not a minus quantity, football has certainly been an unknown quantity until the last few days. The management has kept a spbinx like silence which has been pretty discouraging to the fans.
VOL. IX. NO. 8.
However the clouds are disappearing. The schedule was announced last week and everything is settling down to systematic work. The team will probably be light but good fast material is reporting and prospects are for a team that Kansas can feel sure will win its games.
The training table began last Wednesday evening. At present only a few report there but the number will be increased as the players develop. The training table is considered a necessity for football men and they will now begin to get in better football form. Wednesday afternoon Coach Boynton met the boys for a half hour in the lecture room. He gave a short talk on plays, positions, and signals.
Everyone is glad to hear of the old players coming back. They add spice and zest to the practice. It seems now that Wilcox, Meehan, Algie, and Buzzi will be back. Buzzi arrived last week from his summer trip. Besides these there is much good new material. Brady from the Normal is in K. U. this year and Odel one of central Kansas' fast players. There are also others as good.
As yet very little attempt has been made at determining the places the men will play. It may be said, however, that Meehan is trying for center, Martin for guard, Wilcox for tackle, and Algie for end. Buzzi has been trying for quarter. New men are being tried in all of the places, and there is no doubt but finally the right man will be in about the right place.
Coppina, from Manhattan, is an old football player; Martin is also a good, heavy man. Pulver and jenkinson, who played in the second team last year, are men of promise. Johnston is doing nicely behind the line.
Kansas-University has always supported athletic games. The past few years have given it credit on the diamond and gridiron. Last year's team placed the crimson and blue high in athletic circles and the team goes down not only a "never defeated team" but an "ever victorious" one. We hope for as much this year. Manager Davis, who has succeeded Moulton, is a man of judgment. Coach Boyton comes highly recommended by Yost and Bert Kennedy. Mr Boynton comes from Cornell and is familiar with all the eastern methods. With support he will coach another winning team.
What Kansas wants now is men to report on the field for practice. Even if you can't make the team this year, come out anyway. There will be a future then and besides the second team will have a number of games arranged for itself. It is an honor to be a member of the K. U. Team. Come out and play. The University will support and be proud of its team.
As can be seen by the schedule, the first game will be next Saturday with Ottawa. Season tickets will be on sale next week. Every student on the bill wants a ticket. Don't think you can't afford it, for you can't afford to be without it. Give the Association your support. It needs the money, and you need the recreation. The team needs you to give them a good "Rock Chalk" yell. We are going to have a winning team, and you will want some ribbon on your cane, and a voice that can be heard all over McCook field.
The following is the schedule of games. One of its advantages is that three of the games are to be played in Lawrence:
With Ottawa, at Lawrence, September
ber 20.
With Denver Athletic club at Denver, October 27.
With Washburn, at Lawrence, October 6.
With Ottawa, at Ottawa, October 15.
With Haskell, at Lawrence, October 18.

dness. October 20.
With Wasnburn at Topeka on Novem ber to.
With Medics at Kansas City on November 3.
With Nebraska university, at Lawrence,
November 17.
With Kansas normal school at Emporia November 20.
With Missouri university, at Kansas City, November 29th, Thanksgiving.
CLASS ELECTIONS.
Juniore and Sophomore Elect Officer—
interiors Here, Another Meeting
Last year the Arts promised the Junior president to the Engineers. Jones and McGillivray had been mentioned, but at an engineer caucus it was decided to present only the name of McGillivray. Gward presented McGillivray's name for president; Harshberger nominated Miss Lasley for vice president; Walter Meek nominated Miss Pugh for secretary; E H McMath presented Harshberger's name for treasurer. No other nominations were made; in each case the secretary cast the unanimous vote of the class for the nominee.
Last Tuesday the Juniors met and elected their officers for the present year. The University never before saw such a harmonious class meeting. Nearly every Junior was present. Everybody knew just what was going to happen, still everybody came. The Juniors never did do things by halves. What if there was a slate? They wanted to unanimously approve it. The meeting lasted just three and a half minutes. The only contests worth mentioning were over the persons that were to make the nominations.
Considerable interest was shown in the Sophomore election. Three candidates, Murray, Seyster and Ward, had been announced. Early this week Ward withdrew and the most of his strength went to Murray.
At the election Wednesday, most of the class were present. Collakay nominated Murry for president, and Manning presented Seysier's name. Jno. Sells was also nominated, but he immediately withdrew. Murray was elected by a vote of 42 to 31.
The Seniors held their second class meeting last Wednesday. They met to discuss the Annual, class picnic and class pin. Some arrangements were made for a picnic, but Thursday a notice was posted stating that the picnic was postponed.
The question of editor-in-chief for the Annual caused some excitement, and it was left until the next meeting. Blaine Moore, however, was elected manager. The choice was a good one. Mr Moore has been treasurer of the class and he has good executive ability. There need be no fears of the annual not being a success under his control.
The Prosody of Marriage.
The Eldorado Times claims to have found this paraphrase of the marriage service in one of the exchanges: "Wilt thou take her for thy pard, for better or for worse, to have, to hold, to fondly guard, till hauled in a hearse? Wilt thou let her have her way, consult her many wishes; make the fire up every day and help her with the dishes? Wilt thou give her all the 'stuff her little purse will pack; buy a boa and muff, a little sealskin sacque? Wilt thou comfort and support her father and her mother; Aunt Jemima, Uncle John, three sisters and a brother? And then his face grew blank; it was too late to jill; and through the chapel floor he sank and said I wilt, I wilt.—Mail and Breeze.

MINING ENGINEERING.
917 Massachusetts Street
This Department Has Been Given New Booms with a New Equipment.
In the spring of 1899, the school of Mining Engineering was organized in a department of the regular engineering school.
Until this fall, however, it scarcely had breathing room, and its active life may be said to begin with the present year. The school now has the south and west rooms in the basement of Frazer hall. The rooms are not nearly as large as they ought to be, but good work does not necessarily depend on space. They are large enough for much original work.
Prof. Haworth remarks that he supposes it is appropriate that he has the basement, for miners and geologists can never hope to get above the ground.
The first room on the west is a lecture room. It is small but will seat thirty or forty students if necessary.
The small room directly south is used as Prof. Haworth's office. Adjoining it on the south is the reading room. The latter contains Prof. Haworth's private library of works on mining, minerals, and geology as well as many books and magazines belonging to the University. There is also a reading table and a new and improved card catalogue. The maps which are hard to handle, are stored away for reference in a large case of drawers. Other valuable maps are to be brought from the main library and placed here. The reading room also contains a reflecting gionometer, a new and very expensive instrument, and a pair of balances which are protected by a railing.
South of the reading room is Prof. Ha worth's private laboratory. East of this room and at the extreme south end of the building is the general mineralogical laboratory. It will accommodate about forty students. The mineralogical museum has been left in Snow Hall but enough specimens have been brought over to supply present needs. The room is fitted with hoods, cases for reagent bottles and tables with gas attachments. The walls have been nicely varnished. The room opens into the main hall where hooks are to be placed for the student's wraps.
The history of this laboratory is very interesting. In the early days it was the general chemistry laboratory, and in it Prof Haworth himself did his first work in chemistry when a Freshman. It was used by the chemistry department until 1883, when the physics department took charge of it. After the building of the new Physics building chemistry classes again met in the room and they have remained there until this fall. A new department that will some day have a building of its own now comes in.
Prof Haworth's old office in the northwest part of the basement is now used by ConFone, the assistant professor in mining engineering.
Prof Cone is a graduate of this University and one of whom the institution is justly proud. He worked his way through school and graduated with honors. He was elected to his present position a year ago but was given a year's leave of absence to do special work at Columbia where he took his doctor's degree last spring. We will speak of his work more at length in a succeeding issue.
The famous block house system of signalling trains on all trunk lines is brought into prominence by Lincoln J. Carter, introducing it in his new play "The Eleventh Hour." Mr. Carter demonstrates fully the entire workings of the "block" system that reduces accidents on railroads to a minimum. How few people that are riding on a fast train and flash by a block signal tower know what is contained therein and what an important factor that tower is to the safe guidance of trains. Yet all of this is thoroughly demonstrated in "The Eleventh Hour," which will be presented at Bowersock's opera house, Saturday, September 22.
Owing to the fact that there are more tennis players than there is room for in the clubs which have heretofore been in existence, some of the boys have organized a new association known as the University Tennis Club. They have quite a large membership at present and are expecting some new members. The officers in charge at present are:
President Leslie Gould, secretary and treasurer, Fred Nichols; manager, George Vinton.
REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETING.
The University McKinley and Roosevelt Club are called to meet for organization on Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the county court house. Steps will also be taken for the formation of a troop of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, to march during the campaign in the regiment of Rough Riders under command of Col. Wilder S. Metcalf.
REPUBLICAN CLUB.
Students Are Interested in Politics, and a Campus Club Is to Be Organized.
The fall campaign is causing as much excitement among our students as it is in circles outside the school. The republican boys have been working among those who are in sympathy with the republican party and its principles. A paper has been passed calling for, the signature of those who will meet in the Douglas county court house on September 24th to organize.
A McKinley and Roosevelt club will be organized. Its object will be to promote in every way the success of the republican party, its principles and its candidates. The officers to be elected will be a president, secretary, treasurer and an executive committee to consist of five members besides the president and secretary, who will be members ex officio.
There are already between 500 and 600 signatures to the club, and everything looks as if the republican party as represented in the U. of K. will do much to further the principles which they represent.
Snow Business Meeting.
The Kansas Lawyer.
Snow Literary Society held an informal business meeting last Saturday. They decided to make several needed changes in the constitution and a committee of three was appointed for the work. The committee consists of Messrs Baumgartner, McMath and Devlin. The new constitution will be read and acted upon tonight. A membership committee was appointed consisting of the president as chairman, Messrs McMath, Hindman, Harshberger, Devlin and Misses Haynes and Lyons. Those wishing to submit their names may see any one of that committee. The society is open to both ladies and gentlemen and all will be heartily welcome.
Before the law students left last year they elected a strong force of editors for the "Kansas Lawyer." The only one who returned this year was J H McGraw, the manager. At a meeting last Monday the following officers were installed.
Editor-in-chief, C A Mattson.
Business manager, J H McGraw
Associate editors, A L Billings, John McKenna.
Business manager, J H McGraw. Tuesday the Junior Laws elected Mr Maize as their representative.
The "Lawyer" with a few important changes will be continued as it has been heretofore. It will still be issued as a monthly, their charter calling for an issue at least ten times a year. The subscription price is changed from $1 a year to 50 cents.
Ed F. Davis' Big Spectacular Uncle Tom's Cabin Co.
Ed F. Davis' Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. is without doubt the largest on the road. They carry forty people, an immense quantity of special scenery, many new and novel features, including the thrilling and inspiring American military spectacle, during which is given a reproduction of the blowing up of the battleship "Maine," a grand cake walk; the animated song sheet; two quartettes; magnificent scenery; wonderful mechanical effects; acting dogs, etc. Opera house, Lawrence, Wednesday, September 26. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents.
