Athletic Notes.
Hester is kicking better than ever.
Baine is a good man behind the line.
Sanderson and Whitney show up well on the ends.
Our three "centre" men will weigh over six hundred pounds.
Never before has there been so much rivalry for positions on the team.
McCook Field needs more working before it will be in proper condition.
Twelve men are taking their meals at the training table in North College.
A new broiler has been added to the culinary department of the training table.
Walker has re-entered the University and will try for his old position at "centre."
There is another rumor afloat that "Willie" Williamson may be back to coach the team.
The general impression among the old players seems to be that the prospect for a brilliant team never has been so favorable.
Will Matteson, who played tackle on the '92 and '93 Varsity teams, will coach a team at Abilene, Kan.
It has been reported that Captain Murphy of Yale has been sent west to secure a Kansas University foot-ball player for his team.
The following is the line up for today's game: Sanderson left end, Hamil left tackle, Fitzpatrick left guard, Walker center, Mosse right guard, Howard right tackle, Simson right end, Kennedy quarter, Baine right half. Voights left half, Hester full back. Sudstitutes: Speaks, Hess, Julian, Dum, Whitney.
The following is the latest schedule of the Missouri University team for the coming season: October 12, Tarkio at Columbia; October 17, University of Illinois at St. Louis; October 24, University of Nebraska at Columbia; October 31, Vanderbilt University at St. Louis; November 9, University of Iowa at Columbia; November 14, Depauw University at St. Louis; November 26, Kansas University at Kansas City.
One of the best known authorities on football says: "None of the 'varsity teams will be first-class this year. Yale is weak; so is Harvard, while Princeton and Cornell have nothing to boast of in their foot-ball players. Pennsylvania has a number of fairly good men, and the Quakers may make some of them play; but it is not a foot-ball year. The Yale-Harvard fight—a miserable quarrel—injured the great autumn game.
The game with Ottawa, which was to have been played here today has been postponed. Instead, a game will be played with the Kansas City Medical team. The "Medics" are very strong, Pendleton and Potter, old Baker University players, and Piatt, Pope and Gump, old Kansas University men, being on the team. They are under the management of James Manning of the Kansas City base-ball team. The admission to the game will be only twenty-five cents. All should come out and encourage the team.
It should be said that the account of the achievements of our graduates given in the midsummer issue of the WEEKLY made no pretension to completeness. Miss Josie Wilson, '93, was inadvertntly omitted from the "Harvard Colony" of Kansas University graduates. Miss Wilson distinguished herself in Botany, graduating from the annex in '94. She has since been teaching in the high schools of Clyde and Cawker City. Among the names omitted was also that of Dr. L. M. Powell, '85,now one of the most successful physicians in Topeka. He took his course in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and was the first graduate of Kansas University to attend that institution.
The Jackets and Capes Weaver is showing are just as you would have them both as to style and price. You know Mr. Weaver selected them in New York early in the month.
