LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 4, 1905.
NO MATCH
COLLEGE OF EMPORIA EASY MONEY TO JAYHAWKERS.
Pooler Makes First Field Goal of Season----Hart and Ahlborn in Fine Form.
College of Emporia did not even interest Kennedy's pupils at any time during the game. It was a fearfully hot day and the coach did not want to work the boys very hard for they have four games within the next ten days. Hart, Pooler, McNaughton Donald and Meyers were as usual the great ground gainers.
K. U. went down the field on McCook today to the score of 45 to 0.
The crowd was a surprise, the bleachers being nearly filled. It is to be remembered that this is the same team that Washburn defeated last Saturday by the score of 39-0.
The game started at 3:55 o'clock with Emporia kicking off 10 yards to Pingree who failed to advance the ball. With Donald back carrying the ball Kansas tore through Emporia's line for 35 yds. Brunner added 15 more to this and Rouse followed up with 20 yards more around right end. The ball was here fumbled by Kansas but regained by Pooler. Meyers carried it 5 more and McNaughton was pushed over for a touchdown. Pooler failed to kick goal. This touchdown was made in 2 3-4 minutes of play.
The College kicked 40 yards to Pooler who returned it 10. McNaughton was sent through the line for 8 yards. On a quarter back play Hart skirted the end for 23 yards but on account of an off-side play the ball was taken back and given to Pooler who carried it 30. It was only a question of who got the ball now since Kansas seldom failed to make good the 5 yards on the first down. In rapid succession Myers went around end for 5 yards, Brunner through center for 5, Myers again for 10, Pooler 5 yards, Donald 3, McNaughton 12, White 3. Myers 4, and McNaughton a touchdown. Pooler kicked goal. Score 11 to 0.
Again Emporia kicked off 45 yards to McNaughton who returned it 20 yards. Pooler, Myers, McNaughton, Hart, White and Donald made rapid gains across the field. Myers went over the line and Donald, to make sure of kicking the goal, dragged Myers over between the posts. The goal was kicked making the score 17-0.
With but a short time to play, Emporia kicked off once more to Kansas where McNanghton, Brunner and Donald in a sensational way went through the College line for from 10 to 15
yards at a down. Hart also showed some splendid adeptness at dodging and made a 25 and 30 yard gain. Donald went across the goal line for a touchdown and Pooler sent the pigskin between the posts. The half closed with Kansas 23 and College 0.
The second half was started off with the same big gains as in the first half. Pooler kicked a field goal from the 30 yard line. Three more touchdowns were made and two goals were kicked closing the second half with 22 more points. Final score 45-0.
Council Chooses Officers-Plans for Debating Reform.
DEBATING ELECTION.
The debating council held its first meeting Tuesday and elected the following officers: Frank Grant, president; George F. Zook, vice president; R. C. M cormick, secretary; George J. Benson, treasurer.
A committee of the council, consisting of one representative from each literary organization in the council, met with Chancellor Strong Tuesday afternoon and discussed matters pertaining to reform in debating. No definite conclusions were reached but the members of the committee and the Chancellor were agreed that no radical step should be taken. The change will probably allow men to try for places on the squad without the qualification of membership in a literary society, but the control of debating affairs will no doubt remain in the hands of the existing organization.
NUMBER 8
THE AMENDMENTS.
Proposed Revision of Athletic Constitution--Probably Popular Election this Year.
The first important step toward clean athletic politics was taken Monday when the committees of the two parties met to draft amendments to the constitution of the association. The amendments proposed, if adopted, will take the place of Article three of the old constitution which relates to membership and dues. The amendments are in substance:
2. That any University graduate, official, or faculty member, may become a member upon payment of one dollar a year.
The articles will be considered at a special meeting of the association Oct. 17. It is proposed to postpone the election, which is set for Oct. 10, until after the action is taken upon the amendments, with a view of inaugurating the new system in the election this year, if the plan proves acceptable. At present there appears to be absolutely no opposition, so general is the desire to get rid of boodle in the campaign.
1. That every student shall by virtue of his enrollment become a member of the association for the school year.
PUBLISHERS OF ANNUAL AT MINNESOTA SUE SENIORS.
COLLEGE WORLD
Freshmen and Sophomores Have Cane-Rush---Incandescent Club at Washburn.
The members of last year's senior class are planning to fight the suit brought against them by Byron & Willard, the printers of the '05 Gopher, who are endeavoring to recover the $850 still due them from the publishers of the book.—Minnesota Daily.
Freshman and sophomore athletes will meet this morning in the annual time-honored cane rush.
Frank Force and the upper classmen having the arrangements in charge sent out an edict commanding all underclassmen to meet back of the Physics building at 10:30 o'clock sharp in their war togs.
The first number on the program will be the cane rush, best two out of three to be the victors. Following will come the boxing and wrestling matches. Three events of each will be pulled off, light, heavy, and middle weights. The final event will be the tug of war, to be competed for by ten men from each class.-Minnesota Daily.
At California the rooters wear a particular brand of headgear. This year they propose to make it a black crown with a gold band.
The red haired people at Washburn have formed a society known as the "Incandescent Club". It intends to look after the interests of red-headed people in general in the college.
Laws Choose Emblem.
The Law School met Tuesday for the purpose of choosing an emblem appropriate to wear on the day set for the dedication of their new building which occurs October 27. After considering everything from a "cap down to a safety pin" as one law said, the school came together on a badge bearing the photograph of Judge Green. This emblem, entirely fitting for the dedication of Green Hall met with unanimous consent.
Let all other students beware on that day, and encroach not on the rights of the laws, for of all days that one will be theirs by right of true possession.
B. P. O. Elks.
All members of the Elks, who are attending the University, are requested to meet at the club rooms of the Lawrence lodge No. 605, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, to take part in the parade. Wear white shirts and black trousers. Lodge will furnish hats, canes and pennants.
SENIOR ELECTION.
No Opposition to Ticket--Profits of Play and Annual to Stu-
dents' Loan Fund.
At 12:15 Monday Vice President Dan Anderson called the class to order and the following officers were elected by a unanimous vote: Wilbur F. Mattox, president; Emile Brunner, vice president; Nellie Potts, secretary; Paul Cory, treasurer; Chester A. Leinbach, manager of annual; Hedwig Berger, editor of annual; Harry Hart, manager of play; and Maud Van Cleave, chairman of the play committee.
This election verified the uncertainty of politics for there were but one or two names left upon the winning ticket that were placed upon the machine ticket two weeks ago.
The first business of the meeting Monday was a motion by Edward Noyes to add the profits from the senior play and the annual to the "Students' Loan Fund." Mr. Grant offered an amendment to this motion, empowering the presiding officer to appoint a committee of three persons to consider the advisability of such an action of the class. Many members of the class expressed their notions in regard to the amendment but the reform movement headed by the young women prevailed. When the question was called for, the amendment was lost by a large majority. The original motion was next considered and without a dissenting voice the profits from the annual and senior play were taken from the individual managers.
WILL SPEAK.
Victor Murdock of Wichita Will Address Students Friday.
Victor Murdock, member of congress from the 7th district, will speak in chapel Firday. Mr. Murdock was formerly connected with the Wichita Eagle, owned by his father. He has come to the front in state politics within the last few years, and is known as a fluent speaker.

The Sophomore Class of the Medical School met and organized this morning after chapel. The officers elected are as follows: President, Dave Robinson; Vice President, H.B.Miller; Secretary, Edna Orcott; Treasurer, G.L.Harrington; Sergeant at Arms, Samuel Adams.
