THE BRAVES VANQUISHED.
THE 'VARSITY'S INITIAL GAME WAS
A FAST ONE AND AN
EASY ONE,
COACH YOST'S TRAINING
Aided by Brawn and Endurance Over Powered the Indians During the Lest Half. The Score: 'Varsity 12, Haskell 0.
Saturday was an ideal day for football. There was a stiff south breeze which added to the comfort of the players and good sunshine for those on the bleachers. The band made its first public appearance and added greatly to the pleasure and spirit of the contest.
As the contesting teams appeared on the field the 'Varsity eleven looked much larger but there is only a slight difference in the weights. The Indians have been working diligently for five weeks with "Shorty" Hamil and show up well. They show much better form than any previous Haskell team and play much faster ball, the 'Varsity had been at work about three weeks with ten days of severe practice. The home team was also in the best of form and have made rapid progress with Coach Yost.
The game throughout was hard and fast but almost free from ugly plays. Archiquette was removed on account of his slugging propensities and this seemed to be a lesson to the other sluggers.
FIRST HALF.
During the first half neither side scored. The 'Varsity did not get warmed up well, while the Indians did their best work in this half. The 'Varsity carried the ball to the Indian's ten yard line three times, but each time lost it on downs and fumbles. The Indians were unable to run the 'Varsity ends, and made their gains mostly by punting, but occasionally they made a gain through the 'Varsity line.
The 'Varsity resorted mostly to end runs with an occasional line play. It was a very even game throughout. The ball was for the most part however in the Indian's territory.
For the Indians, Perry, Fallis and Harris were the best ground gainers. Moore, Avery and Silver carried the ball for the 'Varsity. Smith, Wilcox, Mehan and Tucker made the way clear. Gavin's work at end was good throughout this half. Of course the favorite plays were the great gains of Moore, Avery and Owens.
SECOND HALF.
It was during the second half that the 'Varsity awoke from its stupor and jumped into the game with wonderful determination. The Indians were weakened somewhat by the loss of Harris and Archiqueste and were a pretty well fagged out lot of braves while the Varsity did not show bad form in any way. Moore and Avery aided by good interference made some splendid gains around the ends and in ten minutes of play Playland walked through another gan for a touch-down. Tucker, kicked a successful goal and the 'Varsity had made its first score of the year. The Indians took a little brace but were unable to withstand the increasing power of the 'Varsity. In just eight more minutes Moore made a brilliant run of a twenty yards for a touch-down and Tucker again kicked goal.
The 'Varsity had the Indians pretty well under control by this time and were again striding toward the goal when time was called. It was quite evident in this half that Manager Elliott has corralled a mighty swift lot of men and that Coach Yosts training is superior to what the Kansans have had previously. It was head work that really won the game.

The new chemistry building is now far enough above ground so that one can see the shape of the building and have some idea of what its general appearance will be.
The Chemistry Building.
Some description of the building might
be of interest. It will be eighty-five feet wide, 185 feet long and four stories in height. It will face the south with entrances on both the south and east. The basement is almost entirely above ground on the north side. The walls will be constructed of Kansas sandstone and limestone, quarried from the excavation which now forms the basement. This method of obtaining the stone is the same one that was used in the construction of the Fowler shops, and will save the state in excavation and cost of building material about $2,000. The contract price of the building is $38,000 and the appropriation $55,000, thus leaving $17,000 for equipment and other expenses.
The basement will contain battery and switch board room, assay laboratory, research rooms, metallurgical laboratory, motor rooms, gas tanks and fan room; also the heating and ventilating apparatus.
On the main floor will be found the physical and organic chemistry laboratories, laboratories for junior and senior pharmacy, advanced organic chemistry laboratory, and chemical seminary, besides several instructor's rooms.
The entire east end of the third floor will be occupied by the main lecture room. The remaining part of this floor will be occupied by more laboratories and the chemical museum.
Among the rooms on the second floor will be found several laboratories, the main chemistry office, the library, the dean's office, pharmaceutical museum, pharmacy lecture room, and organic lecture room.
The fourth story or attic will remain unfinished for some time. Work on the building under the present contract was begin about August rst, and at present about thirty men are<sup>a</sup> employed on the building.
The Training Table.
C The football men who eat at the training table always talk so much about the way they are fed that their friends are always glad to accept the invitations extended on Sunday evening. And they usually agree with their hosts. Comfortable though not elegant quarters have been fitted up this year in the old hose house south of Snow Hall. There Manager Elliott and Captain Avery are kept busy supplying the wants of the twelve or thirteen football players, whose appetites are anything but small. The fare is not fancy but in quantity and quality it is hard to beat. Ordinary pastry and everything of that kind is forbidden on Sunday evening the boys are given ice cream with their supper. Coach Yoye eats with the boys and supervises their diet. He is trying to put the men into shape as rapidly as possible and they have the food that will do it if anything will.
CBEMISTRY AND PHYSICS NOTES.
The class in Freshman Chemistry under Dr. Franklin has sixty members. This is the largest known in the history of the University and many of the students cannot take the laboratory work as there is not sufficient room.
Mr. Hull is assisting Prof. Rice in the Physics laboratory as the position vacated by the appointment of Prof. Rice to Prof. Dunston's place has not been filled. The position will be filled by appointment by Prof. Blake within a few weeks.
The appointment of Mr. Chas. Krause to a fellowship in John Hopkins University reflects no little credit upon our University and Mr. Krause's ability. Mr. Krause is a hard working and shrewd student, and will no doubt bring honors to his Alma Mater.
Mr. Stafford will probably work with Dr.Franklin, taking Mr. Krause's place.
According to the observations taken by Chancellor Snow the month of September had an unusual number of clear days. The temperature for the month was lower than usual, and the range between high and low was very great.

Students, as well as other coal and wood consumers, will find A. J. Griffith's the most convenient and best place to buy fuel. Office headquarters for fire and ice 12 west Winthrop street, phone 88. Branch office and wood and coal yard 1009 Massachusetts street, phone 86.

ATHLETIC ELECTION
ON TUESDAY PASSED OFF VERY
QUITTING
) NLY ONE TICKET UP.
The Organization Was Rather Demoralize d, but Peace and Harmony Prevail-The New Officers.
The annual meeting of the Athletic association was held in the chapel Tuesday noon. There was a very small attendance of the members as it was generally understood that there was to be no fight on anything in spite of rumors to the contrary which had been floating in the air. In this respect it was a marked contrast to the meeting last year when politics were booming and the whole association had been canvassed and urged to be present.
The meeting was called to order by President Green, who stated the order of business, but was unable to proceed with it through lack of officers to report. In the first place there was no secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting, as that office was not filled at the election last year. Then the chairman of the board of directors was not present and the secretary had no report. There were no committees to report, but the treasurer was there and submitted his report to the association. On motion of Professor Adams an auditing committee, was appointed consisting of Prof. Higgins, Mr. A. J. Anderson and Mr. W. J. Baumgartner.
When it came to the election of officers the following ticket was nominated:
President, J W. Green; vice president;
Prof. Burdick; secretary, E. E. Brown; board of directors, Frank Post, Ed S. Lindsas, Sherman G. Elliott, John H. Kane; member of committee on football, Victor Walling; member of committee on base ball, Jed R. Yale; member of committee on track athletics, E. Sawitell; member of committee on basket ball, W. F. Yahn; member of committee on boating, A. J. Lindsley; member of committees on tennis, Geo. W. Hood.
The lack of a secretary committee was caused by the action of the last annual meeting which postponed the election of these officers to a special meeting to be called by the president. The meeting was never called and consequently the vacancies were never filled.
None of the offices seemed to be very much in demand and as there was no opposition to this ticket the secretary was ordered to cast the vote of the association for it.
Although the meeting Tuesday was not so enthusiastic as some have been, the membership of the association haa never been so large and the prospects are good for a successful year.
Eastern Football.
The season has formally opened in the east. There is more enthusiasm than ever among the "Big Five" football elevens They will play on an average two games a week from now until the close of the season. George Woodruff is again head coach at Pennsylvania. He has obtained excellent results, and in all probability will make Pennsylvania the winning team this year At Yale, Rogers is the head coach, and is making tremendous efforts to place Yale along side the big schools in football. Harvard is rich in football material this year. Head Coach Foster has the good teams at constant practice. Princeton has captured a great many fast men this year, and on account of her proximity to New York and Philadelphia is never wanting for cracks.
Cornell is in a shape to be badly crippled this year, on account of so many new men.
Everywhere except Cornell the tactics will be the old fashioned kind that have been tried for years. Cornell will try to make big holes by mass plays.
The big Five meetings are as follows:

ECONOMIC SEMINARY.
The Economic Seminary last Thursday afternoon was largely attended.
Prof. Blackmar spoke upon the necessity of keeping posted on current events as found in the best magazines and journals. Two interesting papers were read before the seminary by Miss Peck and Miss Best. The first, by Miss Peck, was upon the subject of "Protective Legislation in Canada," and set forth some of the recent measures of our northern neighbors for the protection of its laborers, especially of women and children engaged in factory work. A comparison was made of the kinds of work of different parts of the country and the results in proportion of men, women and children employed.
The next paper was on the conditions of the saleswomen in large cities. Miss Best gave a graphic description of the sufferings of many of the girls, their harsh treatment and in general brought out the darker side of that kind of employment. As a possible remedy for this, the work of the Consumer's League was discussed by Profs. Blackmar and Cone.
These papers are prepared from magazine articles and illustrate the work expected to be done this year by the members. As soon as regular work will be assigned to the members the program will be posted upon the bulletin board by the seminary room.
Tuesday evening Mr. Charles N. Crewdson gave a lecture on "Ancient and Modern Egypt," illustrated with color views. Mr. Crewdson is secretary of the Egyptian Society of Research, a graduate of the University of Chicago and a pleasing and interesting speaker.
Mr. Crewdon became interested in color photography last year, and went to Egypt for the purpose of securing the views to display in his lecture. The process used by Mr. Crewdon is the McDarrah process of photographing colors. The entertainment was perhaps the most novel and interesting given in the University halls for some time. Color photography is a wonderful development in the art of photography. It is yet little known, and perhaps only in its infancy. The colors were perfectly true to nature and reveal things in a much more beautiful manner than one ordinarily sees them. The best views were those of sunset.
Basket Ball.
The basket ball men are beginning to get ready for the coming season. Mr. R. C. Russell was elected manager at the last meeting of the Athletic Board, and is pushing matters. The field has been laid out beyond the hedge west of Snow Hall, and some of the men have begun practice already. Of last year's men Russell, the two Suttons, Yahn, Avery and Hess are back this year, besides a number of men who showed up well on the class teams last year. The subject has not been agitated very much as yet, but from the general interest shown in the game last year, it is probable that the 'Varsity will have as strong a team as last year. That was only a starter, and the experience gained last year will be of great value to this year's team.
Glee Club Assured.
The Masque
The Masque has commenced to work again for this year. It has been decided to present Sheridan's "School for Scandal," which was partly worked up last year. Rehearsals will commence next week.
The Glee Club is a sure thing this year. The University council at its meeting on Thursday decided to allow the Club to make a trip this year, and Ed Copley went out Thursday night to make preliminary arrangements for the trip.
