and while now a little rusty will be a mountain of strength to the team.
Pope plays too high, and instead of getting down to his man, plays back, thus giving an opportunity to cut the line.
Hester is tackling brilliantly, and hits the line well, but is slow in kicking the ball.
Captain Piatt must learn to bridle his enthusiasm. Off-side plays are due to over interest but are fatal to the success of a game.
Phillips plays out too far at end, and as a result doesn't get into all of the plays as he should. He is a good tackler and runs well.
Games needs practice on catching the ball, but otherwise he is putting up an excellent game.
Fletcher plays in a strong aggressive manner, but is not so strong on defensive work.
Agnew gets into the play quickly, and follows his interference well, but does not protect himself.
Smith is an energetic player, but must learn to control himself before he can play foot-ball. Hill plays a heady game at all times and blocks the runner well. Kennedy does good work all the time and will make a splendid substitute at quarter.
Outland's ankle is about well, and he has been doing excellent work behind the line. He is a little slow in getting under headway, but handles himself well, using both his head and hands to clear the way.
Hess does not always catch the signals quickly enough, and hits the line too erectly. He tackles nicely.
Burney has not practiced this weeks His work has been admirable. He starts quickly, keeps his head well down, and clears the way in good shape.
Kaull has always played a plucky game, but is too light a man for guard. He should be shifted to another position.
Harley, guard, is stocky and strong weighing 186 pounds. He is new at the game, and does not get into the plays.
Touch-Downs.
Williamson was never in better condition, or never played more brilliantly. We can only hope he may meet with no misfortune.
Jim Kelsey was in town Wednesday. He has about recovered from his rheumatic attack.
Tom Mastin of Kansas City, who has been engaged to coach the halfs will be here next week.
Armor viewed the practice the other evening from his buggy. He is pleased with the prospects of the team.
Gear has returned to school after a successful season of base ball experience. He has pitched for the Winfield and Enid, Okla. teams.
Prof. Greene, President of the Athletic Association has issued an order compelling lookerson to stay off the field. It is a timely suggestion and has been well met.
A clipping from the Missouri University Press after commenting on the injuries that have befallen Armor and Steinberger, adds, "but the Jayhawkers will probably be out in the old time form Thanksgiving day." Well, yes, just what you'd notice.
A circular is being passed among the students asking for financial support for the foot-ball team. This is a good opportunity for the college spirit to assert itself. We want to beat Missouri, and to do it we need funds to defray current expenses. The town people and faculty have been very generous, and the students will be now, that they are solicited. Every little helps so do not neglect to put down your name.
Any one who has ever gazed on the classic features of Mr. Will White of the Emporia Gazette will be puzzled to know how he could have the consumate nerve to ridicule the physiognomy of any of the K. U. players. He also gives us the startling information that K.U. scored an "earned touch-down but failed to kick it through the goal posts. If we may be permitted we would observe that Mr. White is a better success at clipping "Kansas Notes" than as a foot-ball critic.
