K-State Will Have Extra Job Here— Must Beat Teams Of 1902 And '51
By JOHN HERRINGTON
When Kansas States comes to Lawrence for a football game it's always a big day. This year will be no exception.
In fact, this year it's going to be an even bigger day. The cats from Manhattan will have two teams to fight Saturday
On the gridiron will be the current edition of the KU Jayhawkers. On benches at the sideline will be the 1902 conv of the Jav Hawks.
The organizer of the reunion is James "Art" Peters, now a Dodge City rancher.
Peters dreamed up the idea of a reunion, wrote to all the members of the 1902 team, and fairly well "carried the ball" all the way. Working closely with Mr. Peters has been the University Alumni association.
The occasion? It's the 1902 football team reunion. And the 15 members of that team of 49 years ago that will be here Friday and Saturday will be just as rabid for their old "alma mater" as the 11 men on the field.
The Alumni office has made a full schedule of events for the old grads
There they will hear short talks by F. C. "Phog" Allen, KU basketball coach and professor of physical education, A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, director of athletics, and Coach J. V. Sikes, football coach.
that will cover Friday and Saturday. After a meeting in the Student Union lounge at 5 p.m. Friday where the men—some of whom have not seen each other for 49 years—will have their own homecoming, the men and their wives will be guests of the KU Athletic association at dinner in the Kansas room of the Union.
As a special guest, Dr. A. R. Kennedy, who coached the Jayhawks from 1944 through 1910, will be present. Dr. Kennedy is now a Lawrence dentist.
Campus Chest Leaders Adopt Drive Slogan
"We have it . . . they need it . . . let's share it." was the slogan adopted for the 1951 Campus Chest campaign by the steering committee at a meeting Tuesday.
Sub - committee chairmen presented progress reports at the meeting. Several programs designed to create student interest were approved. Among them are plans for a campus thermometer which will report the daily progress of the drive.
Members agreed the campaign this year can be emphasized by the fact that University students are more able to help fortunate people than ever before.
Loy Kirkpatrick, chairman of the campaign, emphasized the need of thoroughly doctorizing speakers and collectors so they will be able to show how many people will benefit from the drive.
"It's like putting all your eggs in one basket," he said. "With one large contribution we can take care of foreign students starving Europeans, our campus YMCA and many others."
Six agencies have been approved to receive funds from the 1951 Campus Chest. They are the Lawrence Community chest, World Student Service fund, CARE, YM CA, American Heart association and American Cancer fund.
If the goal of $2,500 is reached,
$675 will go directly to the Law-
rence Community chest, which benefi-
nces eleven local organizations.
In turn, if the Lawrence goal is reach-
ed this year, $750 will come back
in the support of the University
WYCA, proving that the KU con-
tribution to that agency will be
more than paid back.
Although percentages of the total amount collected will be apportioned to the various groups, students who so desire may specify where contributions are to go, Kirkpatrick said.
Early contacts will begin next week when members of the Forensic league and other speakers will appear before the 72 campus houses. Collections will begin on the kickoff day, Tuesday, Nov. 6, and will continue through Friday, Nov. 9.
"In setting up the budget for the chest, every effort was made to be fair in the distribution of funds." Virginia Thomson, business senior, said.
"The percentages were finally decided after much weighing of the benefits derived from the agencies."
Dr. Kennedy was coach of the Jayhawkers during the years 1908 and 1909 when the Jayhawks lost only one game in 18 contests. They were undefeated in 1908, winning nine straight games.
Saturday the group will meet at 10 a.m. in the Union lounge to meet Cancellor Franklin D. Murphy. Afterwards they will go on a guided tour of the campus—a campus that has undergone many changes in those 49 years.
Then at 2 p.m. they will be out in full force for the Kansas-Kansas State game. The team of 1902 will have special bench seats on the playing field. Their wives will sit in west stadium. It was not possible to determine the number that would accompany their husbands to the reunion so a special section was not reserved. All wives will be taken care of, however, by University officials.
The 15 men and their wives will come from four states to the reunion. Two are coming from as far as San Diego and Menlo Park, Calif.
What do the participants in the reunion think of the idea? Here's what George Loveall, a lineman on that 1902 team and now a retired mortician from San Diego, said:
Asked if he thought the reunion idea was a good one, Mr. Loveall replied that he thought it was a good one, "but they better do it a little sooner the next time."
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world."
Col. E. F. Kumpe, professor of military science and tactics, will speak on the "Department of Army" at the third lecture on military policy.
Kumpe Will Speak Tonight On Army
"I was completely turned around!" Loveall was one of the first of the team to arrive in Lawrence. He came in Tuesday night by train.
The talk, sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, senior honorary military society, will be at 7 p.m. today in the Military Science building.
How did KU and Lawrence look to him?
contact department heads and investigate the possibility of establishing a quiz file for all students. Chester Lewis, 2nd year law, was named chairman of the committee.
Open to the general public, Colonel Kumpe's speech will cover all phases of the Army department. It will outline geographically the scope of the department problem. The speech also will explain what has been done in recent years to cope with the problem.
Slides will be shown along with the 50-minute lecture.
Laurence Woodruff, dean of men, explained that the major difficulty of this plan would be the expense of establishing and maintaining these files.
A committee was also appointed to contact the athletic department for clarification of present rules regarding I-D cards. The committee will investigate the present situation and report at the next meeting.
James Logan, ASC president, read the KU-K State "Friendship Pact." There was a discussion of possible ways to avoid after-game violence, but no solution was recommended.
mended that staff members be given the maximum salary and no money need be appropriated by the Council.
A report was given by the publication committee, which showed that for the first time the K-Book was published at a profit. It was recom-
It was voted to have the secretary send a letter of thanks to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce in appreciation of co-operation for the Nightshirt parade.
An amendment to an ASC bill regarding Student Court was passed. It states that the number of members shall be changed from five to six and appointments be for one year. Three members will be elected each fall, and three in the spring.
Loy Kirkpatrick, chairman of the Campus Chest, announced that the drive will start Friday, Nov. 9 and continue three days. The contributions will be divided among organizations which have applied for help.
Other action by the Council gave ASC approval to an AWS sponsored faculty talent show and gave permission to the Graduate club not to register parties.
Council members absent include Dean Barrett, Donna McCosh, and David Sailer.
