NUMBER 5
K. U. BEATS WILLIAM JEWELL IN FIRST GAME.
Pooler, Myers, Donald and Rouse the Ground Gainers for the 'Varsity.
In a very one sided game the 'Varsity beat William Jewell College by a score of 31 to 0. Although the sun was glaring hot, K. U. kept piling up the points.
The Liberty boys kicked off to McNaughton on the 15 yard line, who returned it 10 yards. K. U. was going down the field 5 and 10 yards at a time when Miller lost the ball on a fumble. But William Jewell found a stone wall opposing through which no gains could be made. Kansas soon got the ball. Myers went 20 yards, Miller 11, Donald 10, Brunner 7, McNaughton 5 and Donald went over the line for the first five points of the season. Pooler missed goal. Time 5 minutes,
The Missourians kicked off to Pooler who returned it 20 yards in a pretty run. It was the same thing over again until Myers got away for a long run of 50 yards. Miller, Hart, Rouse and Brunner took turns at sprinting until near the goal when McNaughton carried it over. Pooler kicked goal and the score was 11 to 0. Before the first half had closed Pooler had gone over the line for another touchdown. He put the pigskin between the goal posts.
In the second half, Waring went in at full, taking McNaugton's place, Brawley in Miller's place at half, and Pingree at left guard in Burt's position. K. U. kicked off sending the ball out of bounds behind the goal posts. William Jewell kicked to Kansas from the 25-yard line. Pooler took the ball but failed to gain. The next down K. U. fumbled and the William Jewell boys had another chance to show what they could do on the offensive. Twice they tried but hardly gained a yard and then the tall fullback punted it a bare 15 yards. Kansas tried a quarter back run but failed to go out there required five yards and was penalized 15 yards. K. U. punted, William Jewell caught it on the line but Myers pushed him back making a safety and two points for Kansas.
Kansas made another touchdown with ease, Myers carrying the ball. Pooler kicked goal. White took Rouse's place at end and Ahlborn went in at half to rest Myers.
William Jewell kicked off to Kansas, who failed to advance the ball. Pooler, Waring, and White went down the field, five and ten yards at a down and then Pooler got away for a long run carrying the ball to a foot of the goal. Brawley carried the ball
over and Pooler sent it between the posts.
With only a few minutes to play, William Jewell kicks 15 yards to Donald, who carries it past the center of the field for a gain of 20 yards. Pooler punts 40 yards out of bounds and fell on the ball himself, but the touch down was not allowed on some technicality.

FRESHMEN WIN
Defeat the Lawrence High School by a Score of 11 to 0.
The freshmen football team defeated the Lawrence High School on McCook field Friday in a rather listless game. The weather was too warm for hard playing and the work of neither team was impressive. Repeated punting and several long runs by the freshmen kept up the interest. The game served to show Coach Hamil the good men in his freshman squad. The men who did well today will start the game with Wentworth Military academy here next Saturday. The first touchdown was made by the freshmen after eight minutes of play. A fumble by Lawrence, good runs by Fogwell and Cohn and heavy line charges pushed the ball over. Veatch kicked goal. The second touchdown was made by Cohn, who got the ball on a Lawrence fumble and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Lawrence got in better shape in the second half and the freshmen failed to score. Pleasant made a 65-yard run in this half, but it did no good.
Night-shirt Parade Supersedes the Class Fight.
The sophomores and freshmen established a precedent last night, when two hundred of them paraded the streets of Lawrence in night-shirts, instead of holding the regular class scrap.
A NEW TRADITION.
Men of both classes, dressed in long, flowing, white robes, met in Central Park and marched up Massachusetts street to the opera house. Here it was decided to pay the Chancellor a call. The ghostly parade, led by a bass drum, went south to Lee street, giving a Rock Chalk that could be heard all over town. It was near midnight when the studetns were all seated on the lawn in front of the Chancellor's residence on Louisiana street. A few yells brought the Chancellor to the door. After greeting him the president of the sophomore class explained that both classes were there in a great peace jubilee. The Chancellor said: "I am glad to see you clothed in the robes of peace. I hope you have established a tradition that will take the place of the annual scrap. Wishing you 'good-night,' I go again to my pleasant dreams."
Everything was in accordance with the fitness of things, for the Chancellor's habiliments were not different from those of his midnight callers.
Spoiled His Razor Hone.
Professor Higgins says he has cause for action against two members of the college faculty. They came to his place when he was away and borrowed his scythe from his wife. They soon came back and said they would have to have a whetstone. Mrs. Higgins told them where they would be likely to find one but when they brought the scythe home the Professor found that they had used his razor hone to whet a scythe all afternoon. Higgins alleges that anyone that doesn't know a razor hone from a scythe stone ought not to have a place in the University faculty.
PEACE REIGNS
THE ANNUAL FALL NUMERAL FIGHT ABANDONED.
Chancellor Strong the Roosevelt of a Stormy Conference.
At seven minutes before five o'clock Thursday afternoon, president Randall of the Freshman class affixed his signature to the articles of peace and brought an end to the Freshman-Sophomore struggle which had already begun. President Simpson had signed the instrument for the class of '08 twenty minutes earlier in the day.
Negotiations were opened by the Sophomores on Wednesday, but that night scouting parties of the two classes engaged in a hand to hand conflict on the rocky slopes of Adams street. Daylight found the Sophomores victorious, and when the Freshmen met at noon Thursday they demanded an indemnity in the shape of an apology.
The upper class rejected this ultimatum, and but for the diplomacy of Chancellor Strong the effort for peace would have failed. All afternoon he labored with the envoys of both sides, while peace trembled in the balance. At 4:30 he submitted to both parties the articles which were finally adopted. They are in substance as follows:
There shall be no fall scrap this year and hereafter no numerals on the grand stand. The Sophomores repudiated the proclamation put out Wednesday night by irresponsible persons. Both classes agree to place no numerals in the vicinity of the University for at least three weeks.
FRIDAY CHAPEL
Chancellor Thanks Freshmen and Sophomores. Judge Green on "Loyalty."
Chancellor Strong publicly thanked the freshman and sophomore classes in his chapel remarks yesterday morning, for their action in voting down the fall scrap. "I feel much like President Roosevelt, in one way," said Dr. Strong. "I have in my possession the treaty of peace, duly ratified and signed. I hope this is the first of many changes for the better in our University life." "I hope that the disturbances at the Junior Promenade will be eliminated, and that every class in the institution will help to make it a perfect success, and the one social event of the year."
The Chancellor introduced "Uncle Jimmy" Green, of the Law School, who talked with characteristic earnestness on "University Loyalty."
Mrs. Ashton sang Charminade's "Summer," and an encore "Calm as the Night," by Bohm.
