148 Kansas University Weekly. Athletics. As the day for the big games approaches, the practice becomes more severe. The players are worked hard each day, and the line dividing the first and second teams is becoming more pronounced. Coach Cowan has put on a suit, and in a very energetic and practical manner is teaching the new ones the game. Mr. Mastin is improving the playing of the backs. He is strengthening the interference, and showing how to hit the line to the best advantage. Perdue's defeat at the hands of the Missouri Tigers, should serve as an incentive to us. Missouri beat the Indiana giants by playing a quick snappy game, and by kicking the ball often. Alee, Missouri's full back punted the ball for 165 yds., while the ground covered on all the other plays was only 281 yds. Perdue's backs could not kick the ball. There is certainly a forcible object lesson for us in that game. The Park College game as announced has been cancelled. The Varsity will meet the Sedalia team at Leavenworth Saturday. There has been some complaint that more games are not seen here. For want of space a more elaborate exposition of the team will not be permitted at this time. The tennis tournament is over looked for the same reason. Touch-Downs. Caleman, who was centre in the team of 91 and Moody, last year's right guard visited the University this week. Dean Foster the old University player has returned to school. Phillips the promising left end, has been called home by the sickness of his brother. He will return shortly. Mr. Tom Mastin of Kansas City, one of the best informed men in this part of the country on foot ball matters, has come down to assist Coach Cowan behind the line. His good work is already showing itself. RICHMOND Straight Cut No.1 Cigarettes.
