PRETTY GAME
THE BOYS OF '09 BEAT MILITARY LADS 16 TO 0.
Dahlene, Matlock, Veatch Make Good Gains=Cohn and Pleasant Do Fine Tackling.
In a game full of vim and go, the Freshmen beat Wentworth Military Academy by a score of 16 to 0 all of which were made in the first half. The Wentworth boys were plucky and fast but no match for Hamil's pupils. They were handicapped by the loss of Captain Emery who was unable to play his position at full. This meant an entire change in the line up and consequent weakening of the team.
First half—Freshmen kicked off 50 yards, Wentworth returned it 20. Freshmen got ball on fumble and Matlock got away for 25 yards and a touchdown. Veatch missed goal. Time 1 1-2 minutes. The freshmen kicked to goal posts. Wentworth returned it 15 yards but failed to make the required 5 yards in third down. Dahlene tried drop kick from 20 yard line but failed. Wentworth got the ball on a fumble but was soon forced to punt. Coulter came back for 10, Matlock for 15, and Dahlene saved the freshmen from loss of ball on account of a 10 yard penalty by making two gains for 15 yards each. Veatch carried it over for a touch down but failed for goal.
Freshmen kicked to the goal post, Eagan from Lexington, returned it 20 yards but the military boys were soon forced to punt and then Cohn, Russel and Dahlene carried it down the field for another touchdown, and Veatch put it between the posts. The half closed with the Freshmen going down the field for another touchdown. Score 16 to 0.
In the second half Dahlene went out, Veach went in at full, Dennis at half, and Blade at guard at Russel's place, and Fogwell at Matlocks place at half. The Wentworth eleven was the same except Craig went in at Graybill's position at quarter.
The features of the half were the long end runs of Dennis and Matlock.

HASKELL WINS.
Buckner Was No Match for the Redskins.
In a slow game, the Haskell Indians beat Buckner Business College on McCook Field today by a score of 22 to 0. The Buckner team was heavy but slow and seemed to be afraid of the redskins. Fumbles were frequent, and except for the star playing of the Hauser brothers and Quarterback Moore the Indians were in off-day form.
State Journal Article—The Spleen of a Disgruntled Washburn Supporter.
KENNEDY VINDICATED.
The recent article in the Topeka State Journal charging Coach Kennedy with attempting to disorganize the Warhburn foot-ball team is causing nothing but amusement here. It seems that Rice, Mehl and the Griggs brothers have entered the Western University of Pennsylvania and the Washburn people have laid the blame on Kennedy for losing the men mentioned above. Millice, another Washburn player, has left for Chicago and if he does not return the K.U.Coach is the fault.
In the first place, Coach Kennedy emphatically denies any connection with the incidents and in the second place, these five men would not be eligible to play on Washburn if they remained in Topeka. Art Griggs and Mehl without any doubt are professionals,the former having played on the Ellsworth team last summer and Mehl on the Hutchinson team of the Kansas State League. The younger Griggs has never attended Washburn and the freshmen semester rule would bar him. Rice, who formally played here, has not been in school a full semester.
It is possible that Washburn had no connection with Wednesday's article in the State Journal and probably too much space has been given to its discussion, but it is only fair to Coach Ken and the men who are striving for clean athletics here, that the matter receive due consideration.
Lawrence, Douglas County,
appears to have a new hotel
with a swell name. A local paper
says: "Mrs.F. Dumont Smith,
of Kingsley, is visiting her son
at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
House." This tavern is doubtless run on the European plan.

A few Jayhawkers, '05, are left. You can get one at the check stand or at 23 east Lee street.
NO BOODLE
PLANS FOR POPULAR ATH- LETIC ELECTION.
Revision of Constitution Proposed. --Chancellor Heartily Approves.
NUMBER 7
Election of the members of the Athletic Board this year at a popular election, in which every member of the University is elegible to vote without payment of fees or dues, and a general student tax for the support of athletics next year, is the substance of a plan which is rapidly winning converts among the students and faculty. Representatives of the "Barb-Beta" party were in conference with Chancellor Strong this morning. As a result of the conference, the Chancellor announces his intention of calling for a committee composed of five members from each of the two parties, ten in all, to meet Monday and draft an amendment, or ammendents to the constitution of the Association, which shall embody the principles stated at the beginning.
The motive for the move is the elimination of the old practice of buying votes, and so strong is the sentiment in every department of the University that there seems to be no doubt that the revision will carry. The Chancellor is highly pleased with the plan, and is giving his hearty support.
ELECT CAPTAIN.
Jerry Driscoll Gets the Place Over Howard.
The track election which was held in Dr. Naismith's office, Friday, resulted rather differently than was expected. Driscoll and Finch each had four votes pledged out of the ten. Two votes were doubtful. At the election these votes which Driscoll had conceded to Finch cast for Driscoll, electing him captain.
The prospects for this year's track team are brighter than might be supposed. Ten of the old men remain. Parker and "Capt." Young have the running high and broad jumps beyond competition. H. Young, who won the low hurdles in the inter-school meet will be ready for business by next spring. What is needed is a big tall fellow who can take honors in the high hurdles. Barnard, Driscoll, Hovey, Lucky, McReynolds, and three new men made the 21-2 mile cross country run in twenty minutes Wednesday, on the first run. Finch and Miller are in good condition for the sprints. There is a great deal of conjecture about who will handle the weights this year. Any man who can throw the hammer, put the shot or send the discus a goodly distance will be a very welcome caller at Dr. Naismith's office.
DON'T LOAF.
General Metcalf's Advice to Students.
General Wilder S. Metcalf, United States Pension Agent, gave some wholesome advice to the University students yesterday morning in chapel. Like every other successful man of affairs, General Metcalf insists upon earnest, conscientious work as the only secret of success.
"Don't loaf", said he, "for there is too much to be accomplished in this world for you to idle away your time. You are here to acquire that training of mind and body which will make your life a success. Cultivate the power of concentration —put your whole mind into your work. Do not let football or society come between you and your serious business. A little social intercourse is good for you—rubs off the rough edges and broadens the mind—but too many parties and too much 'rushing' takes your mind from your york. There is a demand for every man and women who is thorough, accurate and rapid in his work".
A Busy Man.
John Winter Blood believes in the strenuous life. In addition to his duties as manager of three boarding clubs, Librarian of the law school, partner in a coal firm down town, and member of the debating council, he believes that he yet has time to accept a place on the athletic board.
