WILL PLAY MEDICS.
FERMISSION GRANTED BY THE AD-
VICE,VISIOR COMMITTEE.
A Game Will be Played Between K. U.
and the Medics at Kansas City
October 5th.
一。
At a meeting of the advisory board Friday morning permission was granted the management of the football team to play the team of the Medical college at Kansas City, October 5th.
There was much difficulty in obtaining this permission. The advisory board is strongly opposed to anything that savors of professionalism, and by permitting the game it feared to promote that which it was trying to guard against. Consequently when a petition with almost 400 names attached, asking for the game, was presented to them Wednesday, they refused the permission.
Thursday the matter was appealed to the council, which referred it back to the committee, with the instruction that the game should be allowed if certain objections were overcome.
Friday morning the advisory committee met again, and at that meeting granted the desired permission.
Mr Gant of Kansas City has been at the University for two days and has worked ardently in favor of the management.
The concession has highly elated the team and management. They hope by it to lower the athletic debt, early in the season.
Among the faculty Professors Clark and Wilcox have worked hard for the game.
The Kansas team was given permission to play the game with the Medics, and the following resolution and agreement, gives the details of the conclusions arrived at:
The game will be played at Kansas City, October 5th, carnival week, and a splended attendance is assured.
Resolved. That this committee, having found the breaking of the contract in regard to the last football game with the University Medical college of Kansas was agreed to by the Kansas university that game hereby sanctions a football game with the Medics of Kansas City on October 5, 1898, under the agreement hereto appended.
AGREEMENT
Submitted by Dr. Gant, dean of the University Medical college of Kansas City. That a committee of three be selected, one each from the Kansas City alumni of Kansas university, Missouri university, and the University Medical college, said committee to decide upon that upon the grounds; (b) that any player is not a bonafide member of the school doing full and regular work or (z) that he is receiving renumeration for his services as a football player; that the managers of the two teams will abide and respect as final the decision of this committee in case of such protest; that ten days before game day, when the two schools, the managers shall send to each other a list of all players and substitutes to be used in such games, no one to be permitted to play who has not been named in the list, and approved by the above committee; that the University medical college shall adopt for next year, to govern its athletic affairs, the rules known as 'The President's Agreement' subject to some minor conditions playing in other institutions, length of time any one man may play, which rules as w戴ed cannot be justly applied, to a medical school receiving graduates from other schools.
Heedless of the warning conveyed in the story of the "spider and the fly" our reporter ventured in Marcy's den. A visit to Marcy's work room is always interesting and of course our representative has lots of things to tell.
Marcy's Plaster Casts
He has purchased a new 14x14 camera, which is placed on a table fourteen feet in length. With it he can enlarge pictures a great deal more than can be done with ordinary cameras. Another peculiar quality of the camera is that it uses wet plates instead of the dry ones which are common now.
Mr. Marcy was interested in half-tone work and photography. He spent five weeks in Chicago last summer with the Bitter Engraving Company. For the past year he has been doing splendid work in half-tones, all of which he learned without any instruction except that which can be obtained from books, and the practice he received this summer will make his work especially desirable.
Another departure of Marcy's is that he
is now making plaster casts from living models. The way in which these casts are obtained is interesting. First the individual is laid down upon a long table, and tubes are inserted into the nostrils. The face is covered with a viscous substance and the head is placed in a sort of box after which plaster parts is poured in over the face until the box is filed. This forms the mould, into which the plaster which forms the cast is poured.
"There are an number of sensations which one experiences," says Mr. Marcy, "when these casts are taken. The person feels as if he was buried a thousand feet deep."
The practice of taking plaster casts from living beings has almost died out. It used to be very common in the time of Madison.
The contest for places on the 'Varsity team is still very close. The training table was started. Monday evening, and fourteen men have been selected, who now reside at headquarters. They are Mosse, Avery, Etchelle, Speak, Owen, Buzzi, Simpson, Tipton, Tucker, Hess, Silvers, Harrison, Woodward and Wilcox.
Mr. Marcy makes all the half-tones for university publications and is interested just now in making book plates. He has also constructed a new kind of camera, but what its advantages are, he has refused to divulge.
A part of the line up has been selected. Wilcox of Clay Center, who is very active and weighs 180 pounds will play center.
Hamil and Mosse, who have played on the team before, will retain their old positions as guards.
Tipton, of Topeka, who is also fast and heavy, will 'play one tackle, and Etchelle, a new man from Arizona, will play the other.
The Line up.
For quarter, there is Owen, who has had some experience; Algee, who has played a little and Hess, who played successfully the position of half back on last year's team.
For ends there are four candidates,
Avery, who played on last year's team,
Simpson and Buzzi, who played on the second team and Blockberger, who held the position of end last year.
For half-back there are four candidates:
Hess, Speak, who played full back last year. Moulton a ten second man who has had experience on local teams and Tucker, who weighs 171 and is very fast.
There are three candidates for fullback;Silvers who played on the Lawrence high school team two years ago, Harrison who was compelled to give up the game lost year on account of his eyes, and Charlie Johnson, who several years ago gained much reputation by the way he played full back on the University team.
The team will be much heavier than the one last year. The line will average 1013-7 pounds and the halves 1014.
The most of the candidates are new men of practically no experience and it will be some time before they will work together. However, we have all confidence in Coach Woodruff. He made a very successful team last year and promises that this one will be better.
The teams line up every evening, and the practices are becoming very interesting.
Woodward has been appointed captain of the second team. He has had considerable experience, as he played on last year's second team.
There seems to be more general interest manifested in football than ever. There is no lack of material.
The first team will receive good practice at the hands of the second team, which is exceptionally strong.
Library Hall is being fitted up for the school of Painting and Drawing. This change will be appreciated by the Fine Arts students, but the readers in the Library are doubtful whether they will enjoy the school being situated over their heads.
We will probably have a game with Minnesota University.
The big boilers for the Fowler shop building were transferred to the University grounds Thursday.
Is K. U. to have a Glee club this year? Last year's club was quite a success and this year there should be a Glee club that will beat all previous ones. It is high time that some steps should be taken towards organizing if there is to be one.
TWO CRACK TEAMS.
KANSAS CITY AND INDIANAPOLIS
PLAY BASE BALL ON MC-
COOK FIELD.
Dale Gear, an old K. U. Student Who Won for K.C. the Decisive Game in the Western League Race, Pitches.
They have come and gone. McCook field still bears the footprints of the two crack ball teams of the Western league. Indianapolis and Kansas City played an exhibition game in Lawrence Thursday afternoon. The attendance numbered 500, which is an exceptionally good crowd for any Lawrence athletic feature. It was through the efforts of Dale
Although the game was not so snappy as those when the fight for the pennant was on, still it showed the people base ball as it should be played.
It was through the efforts of Dale Gear that the game was brought here.
Dale Gear pitched the first four innings for Kansas City. Gear has pitched four games in eight days and the strain which he has been under showed plainly. Carney followed him in the box and
Hawley pitched for Ind'anapolis and did good work throughout the game, although his support was weak at critical moments.
Williams, for Kansas City, made a splendid catch and prevented a run for Indianapolis.
Slagle, for Kansas City, played his usual good game.

All the county papers that come to the library contain numerous items similar to the following: 'Harry—— is going to attend K. U. this fall. Harry is one of the city's most promising young men, having graduated from the high school last spring with honors. He delivered one of the best orations we have ever had the pleasure of hearing, and his professors all speak very highly of his ability and character. We recommend him to K. U. students. etc. A young man who had all these nice things said about him came up on the hill last week to register and produced a recommendation that his professor had written for him, addressed to Chancellor Snow and assistants. This untutored Freshman will be roughly awakened by some final examination and find that recommends do not count so much after all.
Miss Anda Miller 97 has been elected principal of the high school at Walton, Kansas.
--when buying school books and supplies. We are keeping up with the times in new books and fine stationery. All we ask is a trial.
SNOW HALL NOTEe.
The material collected by the department of paleontology in western Kansas last summer arrived Tuesday morning.
Dr. Williston went to Topeka Wednesday.
There will be three paleontological papers in the next Kansas University Quarterly.
E. E Volgts was on the hill Wednesday, greeting old friends. He was on his way to Monterey where he has accepted a position as chemist for a large smelter at a salary of $1500 a year. Volgts did special work in mineralogy and assaying under Prof. Haworth, last year and obtained a position as chemist in a smelter in Pueblo. By his energy and his interest in his work and his employer's welfare, he at once became a most competent and valuable man and was offered this position in Monterey with bright prospects for the future.
The gymnasium room has been divided and one-half is now used by classes in zoology. This has necessitated three divisions of the freshman physical culture class.
Professor Smith is putting in baths and making other changes, which will greatly increase the efficiency of his department.
Professor M. A. Barber, assistant in Botany, has received three offers of positions this summer; the Agricultural college of Wymong, Barnard college of New York and a fellowship at Chicago university.
The Barb Party.
The museum received a large fossil fish from Mr. Morse of Iola, Friday, the specimen was cleaned and almost perfect in every respect.
The Barbs began the social life of the year last night at Pythian Hall, in the first Barb dance of the year. There were about fifty couples present, among whom were many practically strangers at the beginning of the evening's enjoyment, but who, failing in with the easy sociability manifested by the Barbs, soon felt quite initiated into Barb society. The dancers seemed to enjoy themselves nearly as well as if it were the dead of winter, the perfect dancing season. The party was a very enjoyable affair with much credit due its promoters.
Senior Law Election.
The Senior Laws yesterday after a good deal of wrogging elected Blockberger president of their class. As a usual occurrence in all Senior Law classes in K.U. the cry of fraud comes from the defeated and another election is demanded by them, but the supporters of Mr. Blockberger claim his election to be a fair one in every way and refuse to go into another election. Mr. Blockenger is fully capable to act in the capacity to which he has been chosen, and for the sake of harmony further contest in the class may be avoided. The defeated candidates were Butler and Davis.
When a "fixer" approached one of the prominent young ladies in the Senior class in regard to class election, the other day, she startled the said "fixer" by announcing that she would do as she blank pleased.
For the benefit of those who do not know, and who are interested, we will say that "Lord Pochher's" saddle was under the seat of his trap at the game Thursday.
Frank Shellabarger, sporting editor of the Kansas City Journal, was in Lawrence Thursday to write up the Kansas City-Indianapolis game.
Shorty Hamil was on the hill yesterday to register.
