Over The Hub,
The theological students who came down Saturday from Washburn to play foot ball, are a mighty fine lot of fellows. There never was a more gentlemanly and well behaved team on the field. There was not a man on the team who wanted to fuss and make a fool of himself. They are much better men than those miniature divines at Baker and Ottawa. Of course they are good foot ball men too, but they were up against the real thing Saturday, and since they had not played, except with the Medics, they were slightly handicapped.
The 'Varsity men acted lady-like too, but they did not fuss so much with conventionalities and courtesies. They played foot ball. Among the stars on the 'Varsity eleven were Meehan, Woodward, Smith, Tucker, Wilcox, Gavin, Nofsinger, Avery, Moore, Owens, Lucas. In other words every man on the team was a star. So it is just and proper for our astronomer to announce a new constellation. The star that shone on the benches were Vincent, Hess, Isabel, Parent and Cates. The fellows who trotted around the side lines and were the happiest men men in town were Coach Yost and Manager Elliott. There may have been stars among the preachers but they failed to glimmer. The coach and the manager of the Washburn might also have been happy but their team would not give them an opportunity.
Nofsinger and Lucas deserve mention first as it was their game and they both played fast and heady. The fellows in the line never get a kind word from any body because the spectators always watch the man with the ball. It is just that they should be mentioned. Smith, Meehan, Woodward, Tucker and Wilcox play the great part of the game for they make it possible for the "get a ways" and never fail to make a hole when it is called for, or a gain good. The "phenon" play of the game was Smith's blocking a punt and Nofsinger's forty yards for a touch-down. Owens, Avery and Tucker rather divided honors. Moore's work at half was sure and fast and Gavin's work at end highly satisfactory.
The game was called at 3:20. The band was out to gladden the hearts of the players and the 500 spectators. The 'Varsity won the toss and took the west goal. White, the 245 pounder for Washburn, sent the ball bounding down the field. It fell smugly in "Bennie's" arms and he carried it ten yards. The 'Varsity lined up like a flash and Moore circled the divines right end for twenty-five yards. Tucker and Lucas hit the line for ten more yards. Avery carried the ball ten yards. Moore made a good gain on a fake. Avery struck the minister at center for five yards and Moore went over. Tucker kicked goal. It was fast and pretty, time 4:25. White again kicked for forty-five yards. Avery caught the ball and advanced ten yards. The ball was advanced by line bucks to the 'Varsity thirty-five yard line when Moore dashed around Stahl at at right end for twenty yards. Avery then took his turn and the big guards shoved Tucker over for the second touch down. The 'Varsity had been playing fierce while Washburn was just a little sleepy. White again kicked off. Owen advanced the ball fifteen yards. The Varsity did some good bucking but lost the ball on downs. Washburn secured the ball for the first time. After unsuccessful line plays Gephart punted out of bounds. Avery circled for fifteen yards and the ball again went to Washburn on downs. The preachers gingered a little and by an offside play, a quarter-back kick, short gains through the line, and a fade by Farrar
they had the ball on the 'Varsity' twenty five vard line when time was called.
The second half was even worse than the first Tucker kicked off for the 'Varsity. The Topekans were downed after a return seven yards. Hughes found a hole in the 'Varsity line for twenty-five yards and had an open field before him save full-back Lucas, but Lucas rolled the Washburn's hopes in the blue grass. The other Hughes plunged against the 'Varsity line for a good gain. The colored brother then tried his fake, but was dropped hard with no gain, Stahl tried a quarterback kick which fell to Owen, who made a beautiful twenty yard dash. The ball lay on the 'Varsity's fifty-five yard line. Tucker went through Smith's and Wilcox's opening in the line, and with the aid of the big guard and tackle, skirted the preachers' entire line for a touch down. Time 3:35. The remainder of the game was played by the 'Varsity. The next number was Smith's phenomenal block of the Gephart punt and Nofsinger's great run for a touch down. Time, 2 minutes. Score, K, U., 24. Washburn, o.
Tucker, Avery and Wilson carried the ball for the next touch down, which was made in seven minutes. No goal; score. K. U., 29; Washburn, o. Another touch down followed five minutes. Tucker then made his third touch down, and the score was K. U., 35; Washburn, o. The Varsity was just ready for another as time was called.

Washburn could not break up our interference in the end circle. We do not know whether it can be broken up or not.
White, the big guard for Wasnburn, is a good pound gainer.
The 'Varsity won by all playing ball at the same time.
Washburn displays a lack of training.
There is too much individual playing.
Stahl and Bishop are fast men. There are several of these men who could find places on the K, U. team.
It was with Richard Brinsley Sheridan that the literary comedy drama came to its perfection and ceased. His work, 'reached its highest point in "The Rivals" and "The School for Scandal", and the latter does not yield to any in the English language as an acting company.

--on of Chancellor F. H, Snow Loses His Life in Trying to Welcome the Twentieth Kansas.
WILL SNOW DROWNED.
Sadder news than that announcing the death of Will A. Snow, son of Chancellor and Mrs. F. H. Snow, could hardly be received in Lawrence. And the receipt of the news at a time when the town was called upon to rejoice at the return to the United States of the Twentieth Kansas, made the blow that much more sorrowful. Will Snow was a member of the staff of the San Francisco Chronicle, and had been sent out into the harbor on a newspaper boat, to meet the incoming Tartar. In some manner he slipped from the boat, and was plunged into the waters of the bay, which were driven by the wind so that they were very rough. The newspaper boat cruised about a couple of hours in the hope of seeing some sign of Snow or his body, but nothing was seen after he first disappeared beneath the water.
Will Snow was a Lawrence boy. He was born and raised here. He was educated in the city schools, and took two degrees at Kansas university. He was well known here among all the people, and was very popular everywhere. He was graduated from Kansas university in 1891, and in 1894 took his master's degree. The following fall, after spending the summer as city editor of the Lawrence Journal, he became an assistant in the natural history department at Kansas university, and also acted as private secretary to his father. After he had continued this work for a time he went to Illinois university, where he worked with Prof. Forbes, along the same line he had been experimenting at Kansas university, and remained there a couple of years. Three years ago he went to Leland Stanford university in California, where he was an assistant to Prof. Vernon L. Kellogg, and did all of Mr. Kellogg's work when he was away. He alternated his work in the University with newspaper work, and for a year or more has been on the staff of the San Francisco Chroncel as one of its best men.
Mr. Snow was his father's companion and assistant in camp life and laboratory work during the early years of his life, and grew to have a fondness for the work which caused him to follow in his father's foot-steps, and his work indicated that he would make as great a success there as the chancellor had made.
Will Snow was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and was one of the popular young society men of the city. He was also a member of the Sigma Xi scientific society, and had done a great deal of original work that gave him a high standing in the society.
The news of his death came in a message received early Wednesday, and was a great shock to Chancellor and Mrs. Snow, particularly the latter, whose health has been poor for some time. Classes at Kansas university were dismissed Wednesday, and the University council met at 9 o'clock to take action, as indicated in the following resolution:
following results.
"We, the members of the University council, having heard with great sorrow of the death of William Appleton Snow, an alumnus and former member of the faculty of the University, hereby extend to Chancellor snow and his family, officially and personally, our deepest sympathy in their sadden bereavement." This was signed by the eighteen members of the council who were present at the meeting.
HOW KANSAS BOYS PLAYED
The Pennsylvania Team's Strongest Players Were From Kansas.
The following taken from an account of the game played last week between Pennsylvania and Bucknell teams, shows how well the formerly of Kansas boys played in the game:
Next to him McCracken came into promi-
Kennedy's work at half back was the most brilliant that has been seen on the local gridiron this season. He played back on kicks and ran through the opposing team for gains varying from twenty to fifty yards, picking his openings with wonderful cleverness and dodging tacklers in a manner that would even open the eyes of little Dibblee of Harvard. His touchdown was made on a twenty-yard run around left end, on which he was tackled by five different Bucknoll men. Downed eight yards from the line, he rolled over and over until he was behind the goal.
inence in this half. On end runs he sprinted through the Bucknell men as if they were so much tall grass, knocking over ackler after tackler, and d frequently carrying the hall ten and twelve yards with three and four men dangling to his legs. Three of his end runs were good for forty yards each, and he made a number of shorter gains of from eight to twenty vards.
Outland also ran most brilliantly from the half-back position, once receiving the ball on a kick on his own five yard line and running it back fifty-five yards before he was finally brought to the ground.
Kansas and Nebraska.
The difficulties betU niversities of Kansas and Nebraska have been settled. As the result of Prof. Adams' visit to Lincoln, he offered the following resolution, which was passed by the athletic board at its meeting Monday:
Resolved—That the Board of Directors, being convinced that the University of Nebraska is honest in its grounds of contention and not being willing that the friendly relations now existing between the two Universities be broken, it is the sense of this board that the University of Kansas consent to play the game fixed for the 18th of November at Lincoln, Nebraska.
The ground of the whole trouble smees to have been a misunderstanding on the part of the Board as to the action of Mr. Decker at the League meeting last spring. Mr. Decker was in town this week, and in speaking of the matter, said that he had not demanded two games from Nebraska, and did not have such instructions from the board. His only instructions were to bring Iowa back into the League if possible, and his only demand from Nebraska was that she should refuse to play Iowa, in order to bring Iowa back into the League. To this Nebraska consented, and thereupon the schedule was adopted. The request for a game with Nebraska at Lawrence was an after consideration, and was not in the original agreement, which was made by Mr. Decker.
This has been Nebraska's intention all along, and according to Mr. Decker's statement, it seems to be the true one.
SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
The Snow Literary Society met as usual at North College last Saturday evening.
