'VARSITY'S BR'LLIANT PROSPECT
Coach Yost is Making a Record-Winning Team By His Unstiring Energy and the Willing Efforts of the Rivals.
Football has usually been the topic of interest in University circles at this season of the year but perhaps it has never been the all absorbing topic as it is now. There is of course a cause for this interest which is in the fact that Kansas has never had such brilliant prospects for a winning team. There has never been so many old players in school before, nor so many new men who showed such excellent form. Neither has there been such interest manifested in the game in other colleges in the state. Much of the interest must also be attributed to the energy of the coach, the captain and the manager.
Today the 'Varsity will show its mettle in a game with the braves from Haskell. The 'Varsity has been working hard in preparation for the initial game. The line-up may be changed a little, but it is quite safe to say that Mehan who is old and trusted player and who tips the scales at 188, will play center, Hess and Colvin who have shown remarkable improvement in the practice games, and who are men of experience and avoirdupois will play guards. Tucker and Wilcox who were great favorites in last year's team will play respectively left and right tackles. They are not so light either—trotting in the 186 pound class. Gavin who is known as the "long-winded" was the best men on the "scubs" last year and has just earned an "end" on the 'Varsity. Isabel will play the other end. He is a new man in University football but plays a heady aggressive gage.
"Cap" Avery will play left half. This satisfies everybody, Moore plays snappy ball and will play right half. "Benny"
Owens, the hero of last year's Kansas City game, will play his old position at quarter, and "Doc" Silvers will be the popular "full" again.
This is a strong array of football men. They will put the firing to all comers. See it the "WEEKLY" does not prophesy correctly.
Other men who are making the 'Varasity fellows hustle to hold their jobs are Vin cent, Lucas, Stewart, Pulver and Baldwin
AMONG THE COLLEGES.
The college daily newspapers now in existence are the Harvard Crismon, Vale News, Princetonians Pennsylvanian, Cornell Daily News, University of Michigan Daily, Daily Cardinal of the University of Wisconsin, the Palo Alto of Leland Stanford, the Californian, the Brown Daily Herald and a paper at the University of Georgia. Brown is the smallest college in the land that maintains a daily. The paper's profits in one year reached the respectable sum of $1,000.
At Princeton a Freshman is not allowed to wear golf trousers, white, ducks, colors, or to carry a cane. At no time may he smoke a pipe, loaf on the campus, enter a saloon or a pool room, or be found on the streets after 9 in the evening. Permanent committees are appointed by the upper classmen to see that these laws are rigidly enforced.
Captain Kennedy, of the Chicago eleven, will be the one to fill Herschbger's place this year, his kicking having already attracted attention. In practicing he has been punting the ball for forty and fifty yards almost without an effort, and he is also very successful in kicking goals. Out of six attempts the other day, he missed but one, while Feil, who is also a candidate for the same position, tried twice and failed miserably.
The enrollment at the University of Oklahoma at Norman has reached 200.
Prof. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of Cornell university, who has been elected president of the California state university, although still a comparatively young man has gained much fame as a philologist His speciality is Greek, and he served for years as instructor in the classical school at Athens before going to Cornell. A recent history of Alexander the Great,

written by him, has attracted much attention.
The Stanford university football team will make an eastern trip this fall. Arrangements have been made for games with several of the larger eastern colleges.
A good student is known by these three things. He can begin to study when he does not like it; he can study when he would rather quit; he can quit when he ought to.- S. U. I. Quill.
Columbia has the largest gymnasium in the country.
The vogue in the west of Greek letter college fraternities is shown by the fact that at the University of Minnesota alone there are chapters of twenty-five fraternities. Eight of these societies occupy handsome club houses of their own.
Snow Literary Society held the first meeting of the school year at North College last Saturday evening.
SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
A fair sized audience was present and listened to a short program consisting of vocal music, declarations and a debate. The president also made a short talk in which he set forth the plan of work for the coming year.
One feature of the work which will be very interesting and instructive is parliamentary drills. Next Saturday evening October 6, a short oral quiz on parliamentary rules will be given. In [the subsequent meetings the actual work of parliamentary bodies will be taken up.
The limit of membership is not yet reached, and other students of the University, especially the young ladies are invited to examine the work done in the society and join if they can help themselves and the society.
Twenty names were proposed for membership, half of them being names of young ladies.
ECONOMIC SEMINARY
The Economic Seminary met last Monday afternoon in Frazer hall for the first time in the present school year.
It has for its aim to form, under the direction of Prof. F. W. Blackmar and Prof. R. W. Cone, an organization which shall meet weekly for the discussion of all current topics and unsettled questions for examination and criticism of articles of economic and social interest in leading magazines and journals.
It is chiefly composed of students from the classes in Economics and Sociology, although no one interested in such work will be debarred from participation.
Encouragement and help will also be given to those who wish to make special investigation along some particular form of economic activity.
This was followed by a report upon the recent trust convention at Chicago, by Prof. Cone, which brought out the point, that although so far no clear plan for control of the trust has been formulated, that nevertheless wide spread attention is centering upon the problem with an earn-ness that promises well for its solution.
Last Monday the topic under discussion was "The Trust," and Prof. Blackmar gave an interesting exposition of its natural growth, its dangers, its possible good qualities and probable checks and remedies.
The work done here before in the Seminary has been very helpful to its members, and it is hoped that this year's work will, with increased facilities, prove even more beneficial than before.
Mr. R. S. Saunders, the teacher of guitar, mandolin, banjo and zither, will organize a mandolin orchestra of from ten to twenty members, and any of the students desiring to join same will please call on Mr. Saunders at his studio, No. 839 Mass. Street, where he will cheerfully give any information desired.

Notice-Change of Date.
The Star lecture course will open with Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr., on Friday night, October 6. instead of the 6th as originally advertised.
Rev Thomas Dixon Jr. is beyond doubt the strongest lecture attraction ever brought to Lawrence. Every student and teacher should hear him.
THE UNMUSICAL COLLEGE YELLS
The most musical—the only musical college yell in fact—is that which the Wellesley girls have originated.
Wellesley's the only One Said To Be
Truly Harmonious.
From the Omaha Bee.
College yells, as a rule, are far from melodious, and it is a constantly recurring source of satisfaction to Welleley damsel that their yell is the yell musical.
This is the way of it: Tra la la la, Tra la la la, Tra la la la, la la la, Wes—Les—ley, Welles—ley.
In contrast to this is the cry of the Uni versity of North Dakota, which more nearly in sound and meaning resembles an Indian war whoop:
"Odz-doz-dzil Ri-ri-ri! Hy-ah, hy-ah!
North Dakotal"
Williams College boys went rather far
afield to find a rhyme:
"Rah! Rahi Rah! Yums, yums, yums!
Will yums!"
The West Pointer also shows some ingenuity in this respect:
"Rahi Rahi Ray! Rahi Rahi Ray! West Point! West Point! Armay!"
"Rock Chalk! Jay Halk! K. U," is the cry which does great credit to the ingenuity to the University of Kansas boys.
Equally touching is the yell which one hears at the University of Illinois: "Rah—hoo—rah, Zip boom ah! Hip—zoo, rah—zoo, Jimmy blow your bazoo. Ip—diki—iki, U. of I. Champaign!"
The names of the college colors are introduced with the cheer of the University of North Carolina.
Vol. VIII. No. 4
"Rahi Kahl Rahi! White and blue Vive-la! Vive-la N. C. U."
"Rah! Rah! Rah! Gold and blue.
Rah! Rah! D. N. U."
"Notre Dame university cheer's also perpetuates the names of its colors:
The two shortest yells on record are those of Hope and Hanover colleges:
'H—O—P—E—Rah—Rah—Hope!
"Han, Han, Han—O-Ver!"

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.
The name and fame of Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., stands out pre-eminently at the head of the list of platform orators. He is the strongest attraction obtainable. It would be superfluous to say one word to eulogize this remarkable man. Suffice to say that the management of the Star lecture course have arranged to open one week from Friday night with Mr. Dixon, feeling, assured that no stronger platform speaker is before the American people. His subject will be "The Battle Cry of Freedom," discussing the larger America. He is the acknowledged "platform king of America."
Notice
No special rate students tickets will be sold down town. If the special rate is obtained it must be from the authorized agents on the bill, Mr. Hall or Mr., Rice.

HASKELL 5. OTTAWA 0.
The first inter-collegiate football game in Kansas this year was played last Saturday between the teams representing Haskell Institute and Ottawa University. The game was an interesting one and was well played when the amount of training of both teams is taken into account. Ottawa's lack of training was very evident and throughout the last half they played for wind.
The teams lined up as follows:
HASKELL.
ackson . . . . . center . . . . . Switch
Hess . . . . . right guard . . . . . Woods
Baughman . . . left guard . . . Swamp
Gill . . . . . right tackle . . . Augusta
Cook . . . . . left tackle . . . . Miguel
Evans . . . . . right end. Archiquette
Atwood, Capt . . . left end . . . Rogers
Barnett . . . . . full back . . . . Fallis
Lambertson . . quarter back. Capt Harris
Priest . . . left half back . . . Perry
Peterson . . . right half back . . Dugan
In the first half Haskell kicked off, and the game was for some time a series of hard line bucks and the advantage rather with Haskell. Early in the half, Hess was hurt and replaced by Newell.
Priest and Peterson both made long runs which carried the ball well into Haskell's territory. Then for awhile pumps were the order of the day on both sides, although Haskell gained greatly whenever their pumps were kicked back, as Harris, showed himself to be an excellent kicker.
One of the pumps was marked by an excellent tackle by Archiquette. Gill for Ottawa, and Miguel for Haskell made good gains, and Priest came near making a getaway, but dropped the ball when tackled by Harris. After more see the half ended with the ball in the middle of the field and no scores. Before the end of the half Jackson, Ottawa's center, retired, and Banta, their manager, took his place.*
The second half was as closely contested as the first. It was marked by several fumbles and more punting which advanced the ball into Ottawa's territory so far that Haskell was able by repeated bucks to send Swamp over the line for a touchdown, but failed of goal.
After this Priest one of Ottawa's crack halves had to quit and was replaced by Shire, a 130 pound man, who didn't seem to know the game. The men from Ottawa were practically dead by this time and were able to do nothing but punt. Time was called with the ball on Ottawa's 15 yard line and rapidly going toward their goal.
Score: Haskell 5. Ottawa 0.
The Ottawa team showed that it will be a bad thing to run up again when it gets into shape a little more. Eddie Pendleton had done good work with his men in ten days, and he had some strong men to work on. Hess, Gill, Atwood, Priest and Peterson showed excellent form and the others will develop greatly with traing.
"Shorty" Hamill has also done good work with the Indians, and Harris, Augusta, Miguel and Archiqueste showed up especially strong. Both these teams will show up a warm time in the games to be played on McCook field.
The Junior class met Tuesday noon for the election of officers. W. W Fillin was elected president over Blaine Moore, by a vote of 40 to 36. Miss Maud Hodgson was elected vice-president, Miss Nettie Manley, secretary, and Mr. Melvin Taylor, treasurer.
