Athletics.
Our foot-ball sky is brightening with each successive journey of the sun! In truth it has not at any time been clouded with doubt or uncertainty. But "tings are comin' our way," and when the season opens in earnest, it will find adorning the McCook field gridiron, the finest galaxy of players that has ever united to battle for Kansas University. This is not fancy but the inevitable conviction of anyone who cares to study the matter. The strength of the team can be seen in the individual players, and there is a larger list of candidates to choose from than ever before. There is not a position
in the game for which there is not more than one candidate, and the relative merits of these cannot be easily determined.
We must not become self-satisfied because of our apparent strength, and grow indifferent to the practice. We are in a bigger class today than we have ever been, and if we win it must be by constant and faithful work. It is the duty of anyone and everyone who can play to put on a suit and come out to daily practice. Let us not stand back on any selfish ground, but bear in mind that it is for Kansas University, and not the glory of any individual or individuals that the team is made up. It is a wrong and mean spirit in a man who says that he cannot make the team, or thinks he can't, so he wont go out to help the others. We should each do cheerfully what we can to help along the interest of the team, and those who can't do anything else can come out and yell.
Those who are anxious to make the team should remember that it is not yet selected and will not be until every one is given a trial.
Hamill has arrived and has started playing in dead earnest. He is larger than he has ever been, weighing 216 pounds, and yet is very active on his feet. Pope is in shape to play a better game now than last year, when it was new to him, and he is doing so. Walker is playing a stubborn centre, and is backed by Griffith, the Texas centre, who plays a hard game, but appears light for centre. Agnew and Phillips are putting up a game at the ends that will be hard to improve upon. Agnew is weighing only 146 pounds, but he dodges beautifully, and goes around the ends very much in Steinberger style Phillips tips 163 pounds. He protects himself well in running and is a hard tackler. Hill and Kennedy are well able to take care of quarter. Each one plays such a clean shifty game that it would be difficult to say which does it better. Voigts is developing in excellent form. He has been playing half in such energetic style as to cause considerable comment. He is a big man, standing six feet one inch, and weight 175. Fletcher and Piatt are playing tackles with more energy and better results than has been done for some days. Hester has been under the
