ALBERT HICKS.
With the close of this season, ends the football career of Captain Albert Hicks, right end and one of the best men that ever donned the Kansas moleskin. During four successive years he has played right end, and has gained a reputation as a hard, sure tackler and a consistent ground gainer. For the past two years he has been chosen as a member of the all-star eleven of the Missouri Valley. Hicks is almost idolized by the student body and has made a name for himself in athletics at Kansas University which will endure for many years to come. Albert Hicks comes from the "short grass" country, and before entering the University, played on the Beloit High School team. He is 23 years old, weighs 160 pounds and is 5 feet 10 inches in height. He will probably practice law next year.
ARTHUR POOLER.
Arthur Pooler, the wonderful little quarter back, is another of the Jayhawker stars. In the Missouri game last year, he won the game by kicking a field goal with but a minute left to play. In the Washburn game this year he made the only score of the game by a brilliant quarter back run of thirty yards. He is probably the best tackler on the team and does all the punting and goal kicking. Pooler also comes from Beloit. He is 22 years of age, weighs 155 pounds and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. He has one more year to play and will be back next year. He will captain the Jayhawkers next season.
Manley Michaelson, the remarkable center, is the best man at his position Kansas has ever had, and probably is the equal of any center in the west.
Certainly there is not a man in the Missouri Valley who can compare with him. On the defensive "Mike" often breaks through and downs the man with the ball before he can get started. He is 23 years old, stands an even 6 feet, and weighs 181 pounds.
This is only Michaelson's second year on the 'Varsity, but he graduates from the Law school next Spring and will probably begin practicing Law immediately. If he should return for a Post-Graduate course,

Emile Brunner is one of the strongest players in the line. For two years he has been playing guard to the entire satisfaction of coaches and students.

C. PRENTISS DONALD.
C. Prentiss Donald, left tackle, is one of the strongest men on the team. This is "Don's" second year on the team, and he is improving every year. In carrying the ball, he is a terror to opponents, and can always be depended on for good gains. Donald comes from near Moran, where he played on the High School team, before entering the University. He is 22 years old, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs 202 pounds. He is the heaviest man on the Kansas team. He will be back next year.
J. C. Royer, left guard, has developed into a strong player within one season. This is his first season on the football squad and he has made good. He is especially strong in opening holes in the opponent's line, through which the backs may advance the ball. Royer is also captain of the base ball team and a good all-round athlete. He is 22 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He will return next year.
