NORMALS BEATEN.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 14, 1905.
K. U. Got Away for 32 Points-- Pooler Kicks Goal From 30 Yard Line.
In seven minutes after K. U. kicked off to the Normals today at Emporia the 'Varsity had gone between the goal posts for a touchdown. The school teachers seemed to be no match for the Jayhawkers who got away with ease. Hyndman was the star of the opposition and played ball from start to finish. The first half was featured by a twenty yard run by Donald and a fifteen yard run by Hargis around K. U.'s end. Hyndman tried for a field goal from the forty yard line but failed. The half closed with the score 17 to 0 in favor of K. U.
In the second half, Hyndman kicked 39 yards to Pooler who returned 15. The University punted and the Normsl returned it with a long punt. Again the 'Varsity punted and again the Normal returned and then Pooler put it between the goal posts from the 30 yard line. Myers was forced to go out of game because of sprained ankle and Pingree went in. The final score was 32 to 0. Hyndman Gouch and Hensley did fine work for the Emporia boys, while the invincible quartet, Meyers, Brunner, Donald and Pooler carried the pigskin for 'Varsity.
ONLY 78 TO 0.
All Freshmen Team A Whirlwind --Dahlene Kicked Every Goal.
Olathe high school was defeated by the freshmen by the overwhelming score of 78 to 0. Coach Hamill's pupils seemed to have advanced beyond high school class since they tried the 'varsity the other evening, and the visitors did not afford good practice. Olathe started the game by kicking off 45 yards to Veatch, who returned it 35 yards to the center of the field. In a series of line bucks Veatch was pushed across the line for a touchdown after two minutes of play. To the end of the half eighteen more points were made. Veatch made a 40-yard run, Hennessy a 75-yard run, and Matlock a 50-yard sprint.
The second half was a repetition of the first and 09 scored at will. Although several substitutes were put into the game, it seemed to make no difference. It took only two plays to make touchdowns on two different occasions. Veatch, Henssey, Matlock, Jennings, and Dahlene played good ball for the Freshmen and Hayes, Hendrix and Sanford were stars for the high school boys. The final score was 78 to 0. Dahlene kicked 13 goals.
NUMBER 11
TAKE YOUR CHOICE
Representatives from Each Faction Tell the Good Things about Their Candidates-Best Tickets Ever Nominated for Athletic Election.
To the editor of the Kansan.
SIR:We wish to present the following men for members of the athletic board with some reasons why they deserve the support of the University.
R. O. Douglas, '07, on for the University in the Kansas-Missouri debate last year, and on that occasion showed quickness of decision and tenacity of purpose, qualities which are absolutely essential in a man on the athletic board.
Representative Ticket.
The representative ticket stands for fair and adequate representation of the whole University on the athletic board. Its candidates are selected from five classes, three of them being upper classmen, with a view of securing the most able and fair minded men in the University.
President, James Green; vice president, Roy O. Douglas; board members: A.I. Beach,C. O.Pingry, Carl Young, Chester Rutherford.
A. I. Beach, A.B. '05, Law'08 is a man thoroughly acquainted with University affairs, and has always been actively interested in everything pertaining to athletics and identified with every worthy movement in the University.
Upon the outcome of this election depends the question of student representation in athletic affairs. There is a majority of faculty members on the board, and unless the men who represent the students have experience and ability, confidence to state and champion their views, further, have a standing in the University that will command the respect of the faculty; their voice will be only tolerated, not heeded, and the faculty members will justly pull together, regardless of the students on the board.
C. O. Pingree '06, a guard on the Varsity football team, is without doubt one of the ablest men in the University. He is a man older than the average student and has had practical experience in the business world.
Carl Young, '08, thoroughly understands what the University needs and what the students want in athletics. He was a member of the freshman football team and the 'varsity track team last year and is one of the older and more capable men of his class.
Chester Rutherford, 199, has already won a foremost place in class affairs and for the past two years has been the leader

To the Editor of the Kansan.
Sir;-We wish to present the following men for members of the athletic board with some reasons why they deserve the support of the whole University.
Athletic Reform Ticket.
President, James Green; Vice President, Elgie C. Brookins; Board Members, Virgil McCarty, Stanley Meyers, Charley Hoffman, Oscar Dahlee.
The above men have not been selected on account of their ability to pull votes but for the reason that if elected they will work for the best interests of athletics in the University. The idea in politics in the University seems to be that the voters should stick to one ticket, even though he knows that men on the other ticket would be better workers.
It is thought in picking a board to represent the student body, men should be chosen who have had experience in the various branches of athletics, and who are of good executive ability and competent to stand up for the best interests of athletics and the University. Every student knows that there has been too little initiative work on the part of the student members of the board in the past. There is no doubt that with representative athletes on the board, each working independent of any faculty restriction, that great things can be done in the way of athletic reform. It is possible with hard work to make the football schedule for next year the best in the history of the University. These men are the ones to do it. Vote for the man and not the faction.
From the following brief outline of what the men on this ticket have done in the past, we will leave it to you to judge whether or not they are competent to fill the responsible positions on the board.
Through the efforts of the Chancellor and members of the present athletic association the election is to be thrown open to all students. Each one should feel it incumbent upon himself to vote for the candidates who will carry out the ideas of athletic reform which were urged by the entire school last year. It was thought that interest in athletics was not up to the standard of other universities, simply for the reason that the students were not given any prominence in the management of these affairs.

Program of Law Dedication
The dedication of the new Law Building will be held November 3rd. S.W. Moore member of the class of '87, now general solicitor for the Kansas and Southern Railroad will make an address in chapel. Dean Green will next speak upon some phase of the Law School.
In the way of music, two special pieces will be given by the orchestra. An ode written by Professor Carruth and set to music will be rendered. Dean Skilton has composed an overture that will be played by the orchestra.
In the afternoon, upon the front steps of the Law Building will occur the ceremony of the delivery of the keys. Here Chancellor Strong, Dean Green and one member of the board of regents will make short addresses.
At eight o'clock in the evening a banquet will be given by the alumni and undergraduates. The place has not yet been decided for holding the banquet but it will probably be down town. Invitations are now being printed and will be issued the latter part of the week to the alumni and to the leading members of the bar over the state.
Many former instructors are expected to be present during the ceremonies.
A Denial.
The Kansan in the last issue said that one of the athletic tickets was supported by the Sigma Chi Phi Delt combination. we have been informed that our use of the name of the Sigma Chi fraternity in that connection was unwarrented and they wish it understood that they had nothing to do with the making of the ticket and wish to take no part in the contest.
Engineering Students.
This will interest the freshmen engineers. The Keuffel & Esser Co., Manufactures of Engines and Architect's supE plies, offer a $25.00 set of K and drawing instruments to the student in the freshmen engineering class, who does the best work during the year with a Keuffel and Esser set of instruments. The instruments are on display at the University Book Store where a full line of K and E goods are always kept in stock.
The Junior class met at noon Wednesday in room 15, and decided to give a dance in Fraternal Aid Hall, Friday evening, Oct.20. Contrary to the usual plan all members of the University are invited and a good time will be assured. Tickets may be obtained from Mr. Klingberg, the class treasurer.
