ATHLETICS.
The Abilene team averages 172 pounds.
If the goal is kicked, a touchdown means six points.
The Abilene game promises to be one of the best of the season.
The 'Varsity has been doing good steady work this week.
Today's game will be called at 3 o'clock. Admission 35 cents.
The Abilene team has the reputation of being the strongest team in the State.
Harvard has a smaller number of games scheduled than she has had for any season for a number of years.
It would seem that the University Medical team of professionals is not very anxious to meet our team.
Saturday's game revealed a lack of practice in kicking goals. This has always been a weakness of our team and should be avoided this season.
A game has been arranged with Matteson's Abilene team for Saturday. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. The game will undoubtedly be very interesting and all students should lend their encouragement to the team by attending.
Manager Burney has selected a list of officials for the inter-collegiate football games. The list is a very satisfactory one: Fred D. Cornell, Lincoln, Neb.; Chas. Keenhans, Topeka; George Devall, Kansas City; Lieutenant Smith, Baldwin; Ray Heatt, Kansas City; J. P. Usher, Lawrence.
On Tuesday Pennsylvania met Columbia at Philadelphia and Yale met Amherst at New Haven. On Friday Williams and Andover met at Andover. Today Pennsylvania and Bucknell meet at Philadelphia; West Point and Trinity at West Point; Cornell and Rochester at Ithica; Princeton and Rutgers at Princeton; and Dartmouth and Worcester at Worcester.
John Outland is ineligible to play on the University of Pennsylvania team this year on account of the ruling adopted by Eastern teams that no player who has played on another college team during the previous season, shall play on the regular 'Varsity team during his first year in school. The Philadelphia Telegram in a recent article on the Pennsylvania team gave Outland a very flattering write up.

Yale opened the season on the 26th with the Trinity College team. The only touch down was made by Yale in the first half, neither team being able to score in the second half. The result seems to indicate that the New Haven team is lamentably weak this year. Ex-Captain Thorne watched the game from the side lines.
The 'Varsity Wins From Haskell'.
The game which was arranged with the Kansas City Medical team for last Saturday has been indefinitely postponed. In its stead a game was played Saturday afternoon with the Indian team of Haskell Institute. The game had not been thoroughly advertised and the crowd was not very large, but the game proved very interesting. The Indians were very light but exceedingly plucky. At the end of the first half the score stood 16 to o; the final score was 32 to o in favor of the 'Varsity. The game revealed much individual strength in the new 'Varsity, but also a great lack of team work, which is, however, to be expected so early in the season. On the whole Kansas University football stock is "looking up."
