NOTES OF THE GRIDIRON.
Coach Kennedy deserves a great deal of er credit for the showing made by the Jayhawkers against Notre Dame. He has molded the Kansas eleven into one of the most formidable football machines in the Missouri valley and has demonstrated that he is a first-class coach in every respect. Kansas wants Kennedy's services for next season. What the football team needs is a coach who will remain several years, instead of for one season, as has been the case for the past four or five years. This method would not compel the veterns to learn an entirely new system of play every year and would greatly strengthen the team.
Myers is one of the best half-backs Kansas has had since the days of Jenkinson. He put up a wonderful game last Saturday in interfering and pulling along the man with the ball.
Michaelson made his first touchdown Saturday. The center seldom has a chance to make a score. "Mich's" opportunity came on Pooler's quarter-back kick.
The way Ackerman played the taekle position against Notre Dame "was simply great."
The "short grass country," long famous for its football players, is well represented on the Kansas team this year by Captain Hicks, Pooler and Ise, three of the fastest men on the eleven.
Kansas says "hats off" to Missouri' in appreciation of the way the Missourians are standing by their losing team. The "Tiger" team has lost game after game, but the students of the university continue to encourage and support the team with a loyalty that cannot be too highly commended. Such a spirit is sure to tell in the end.
Brunner hits the line like a battering ram. He plunged through for two of Kansas' touchdowns last Saturday,
The football team of the Kansas Agricultural team has disbanded. Poor fellows. It is a good thing for them, for we were going to "everlastingly wollop 'em."
There are more Senior men in the Engineering school than in the college, judging from the number attending chapel.
Bert Calkins has registered in the Schol of Engineering as number 1399. Calkins left the University just a year ago.
SAYS GOODNESS RULES.
Dr. Boodin Formerly of Iowa College Lectures in Channel.
Dr. J. E. Boodin addressed the students in Chapel Friday. Prof. Boodin occupies the newly created chair of Psychology; he was formerly with the Faculty of Iowa College.
In his talk Dr. Boodin laid down three axioms, which he established for this present day. First: the Spiritual is real. In this day and age we are breaking from the idea of Materialism and are considering the world of the same essence as ourselves. Says Dr. Boodin: Materialism is as dead to science as 16 to 1
is to politics. Second: good is eternal—good is supreme—good legislates for the entire universe. A long prospectus of history proves conclusively the axiom. The small Hebrew nation has conquered the world. That is the Hebrews formulated the ideals that the whole world has followed. The Greeks, in significant in numbers, have dominated the intellect of the world. Little nations with ideals can conquer large ones without them. Force is only secondary to ideals. The third axiom he presented was solidarity as oppose i to the atomic idea.
ONE-FOURTH FARMERS HERE.
One-Fourth Students From the Farm— Younocest is Only Thirteen.—Stu-
dents Incisease.
More than one-fourth of all the students at the University are from the farm. The number of students from the farm is three times greater than from any other occupation. The parents of the students are pursuing seventy-six vocations, from day laborer to capitalist, although only one "capitalist" is reported. Not a single "saloon keeper" was reported among the parents of the students. There are a large number of "retired farmers." "Oil and gas" is a new business, reported this year.
Fifteen years ago there were 316 men registered here. Thus far this year 850 have registered, a gain of 169 per cent. In 1890 there were 158 women students; today 474 are registered, a gain of just 300 per cent. For the past fifteen years, the men have been gaining in attendance faster than the young women, the per cent. in the case of the young men being 50, to 45 for the women. In the past five years the men students have increased 15 per cent and the women 12.
The youngest student in the University is only 13 years old, the oldest 39. The average of the Senior class* is 22 years.
TO DEBATE WITH IOWA.
Kansas Meets Nebraska. Missouri and Iowa this Year.
The Debating Council held a meeting yesterday noon and made arrangements to pay off last year's debt. They also authorized the secretary of the council to secure a debate with Iowa and to write to Missouri and Nebraska to urge them to submit the questions for the debate so that the Kansas men can begin preparation for the debates.
Among the prominent debaters in the University this year are J. A. Johnson, S. E. Bartlett, J. H. Hoel, J. W. Blood, Everett Petry, B. A. Earhart, E. A. Elder and J. W. Kayser.
POLICE CLUB COLLEGE MEN.
Police to Be Prosecuted—President of Boston Institute Says That Police Actrd Like Brutes—Kilpatrick Resigns at Wisconsin.
Last week while a big procession of students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was parading about the streets of Boston, it was attacked by the police and many students severely clubbed. In the last issue of the "Tech," the President, Dr. Pritchett, gives his ideas about the matter. He says in part: 'I compain against the utter lack of judgment displayed by the police and the unnecessary brutality which they employed in carrying out what were apparently their instructions. The police charged the crowd fiercely, rode down indiscriminately persons who were doing all they could to get away. I myself obtained a surgeon obtained a surgeon to dress the wounds of eight or ten men." The executive committee of the institute appointed a committee to prosecute the policemen involved for undescessary violence.
Graduate Manager of Athletics, Kilpatric of Wisconsin has resigned his position to accept a position as manager of the college department of A. G. Spalding & Co. Kilpatrick went to Wisconsin in '99 as coach of the track team, and the following year was elected graduate manager. He has developed in this time some remarkable long distance men, among them being Breitkrentz, Daniels, McEachron, Keachie and Waller.
The annual cannon rush at Princeton, in which over 600 men took part, resulted in a victory for the freshmen.
ORATORS TO GET U. CREDIT.
Work of National Oratorical Association Kansas Will be Hard After First Honors.
The Central Executive Committee of the National Oratorical Association, of which Prof. Frazier is chairman, has sent letters to all the State Universities defining rules of the Association and giving the sub-topics of the general subject for oratory "Trade Unions."
Membership to this Association is open only to State Universities and an annual fee of three dollars is charged each University. The purpose of this organization is to encourage public speaking in the State Universities, and the Association will try to get University credits for the participants in the contests.
