NUMBER 14
COLORADO NEXT
TEAM LEAVES THURSDAY--18 MEN WILL GO.
Hardest Game of Season--Colorado Beat Nebraska Last Year--
Played K. U. a Close Game.
The football team, accompanied by Manager Lansdon and Coach Kennedy, will leave for Denver, Colorado, tomorrow, where they line up against Colorado University, Saturday. Since the decisive score that Kansas made on Oklahoma last week, the chances of defeating the mountaineers by a good margin, seem good.
Colorado has not figured very much on paper this year and their real strength is unknown. It is not likely that they have the strong aggregation of last year, as several of their best men are coaching this season. It will be vividly remembered that the hardest game that Kansas played last season with the possible exception of the Indian game, was with Colorado and with the number of yards gained as a basis, the Boulder men should have won.
However, Kansas supporters believe that the varsity is stronger than last year, and with some of Colorado's players gone, the Jayhawkers ought to win. This is the second trip of a K. U. team to Colorado. Two years ago Kansas defeated them on their own field 12 to 11, but only after a hard struggle, as the close score will indicate. Meyers, the star half back, will play Saturday, and with Pooler, Brunner and Hart, will make the fastest back field that Kansas has had this season. Milton will play center, and Reed and Heinzman, guards; Root and Donald, tackles; Rouse and White, ends. The following substitutes will accompany the team: Angney, Pingrey, Strickler, Ahlborn, Burt, Miller and Brawley.
Class Levied $3.50.
The senior class held a love feast today in room 14. This was the first meeting held since the class election. Wilbur F. Maddox, the new president, took charge of the helm of state. Manager Leinbach of the annual explained how much the book would cost and told why the money was asked in advance. An assessment of $3.50 was levied on each member of the senior class. The payment of this entitles him to a book, his picture in the annual and a senior play ticket. The president was also instructed to appoint a social committee to look after the class parties.
Professor Hoad's civil engineering students are making extensive investigations of the
wearing qualities of different road-making materials. The State Geological Survey is providing the material and will incorporate the results of their investigations in the report of the department.
THE LABOR PROBLEM Professor Commons Finishes His Course of Lectures.
Professor John R. Commons delivered the last of his series of lectures on labor questions by a general discussion of the relation of government to labor conditions. He has given five lectures this week, dealing in turn with labor unions in the printing trade and the cigar trade, with the recent stand of employees in making ideal factory conditions; with immigration and its effect on industry; and with governmental relation to labor which he discussed this morning.
An interesting fact which Professor Commons demonstrated in his lecture yesterday is that the trade union is and has been for some time the only efficient Americanizing influence that is brought to bear upon the immigrants when they take up their life in this country.
Professor Commons pointed out this morning the evils of government by injunction in labor disputes, showing that it is merely setting aside the jury system by a legal dodge which gives the court practically legislative power. He expressed the opinion that if present tendencies persist, it will not be long until a system of compulsory arbitration similar to that of New Zealand will be inaugurated.
Congressman Campbell to Speak.
Hon. Phillip P. Campbell, of Pittsburg, Kansas, and Congressman from the third district will speak in chapel Friday morning. Mr. Campbell is recognized in Congress as one of the best speakers and is at present the only announced candidate to succeed J. R. Burton in the United States Senate.
Ansel R. Clark, the newly elected chairman of the Rowing Committee, has secured the promise of one or more rowing shells to be ready for use in a short time. Manager Lansden has agreed to secure the equipment, which will be made in the shops. There will be two fouroared shells, or one eight-oared as seems most advisable. If warm weather continues, rowing enthusiasts will probably have a chance to try the river this fall.
Chance for Oarsmen.
The Sigma Chis have pledged Claire Brigham of Belleville.
PLAY IOLA SATURDAY.
Hardest Game of Season. All Victorious, if They Win It
Win It.
The freshman football game, to be played at Iola, Kansas, against the high school team of that place Saturday, is looked forward to as the hardest game on the schedule for the '09ers. Captain Veach said today, "the team is crippled up worse than it has been this fall. Dahlene and Wallace will probably be out on account of sprained shoulders. If we just can come out victorious Saturday, I expect to see a clean sweep for the season."
Iola has had one of the strongest high school teams in the state for several years. Their training is superb. Ex-quarterback De Saulle, of Yale in '00, is coaching the high school boys and also Rogers, of Princeon, is assisting Coach De Saulle.
Coach Hamil said a few days ago that Iola would be the plum of the schedule and that he would rather win it than any other game in the schedule. At present the freshmen are keeping pace with the 'varsity, in fact their score is a little the greater. With this next result in their favor the prospects for an "ever victorious" freshmen team will be bright indeed.
Freshmen Give Spread.
The freshmen class gave a spread in Snow Hall last Saturday night. Every 09er was present and about half a hundred upper class men. Twenty-five gallons of cider added to the gayeties of the festivities and there were sandwiches, pickles and salads till you couldn't rest.
Law Alumni Banquet.
The committee on toasts for the Law banquet to be held on November 3rd have received affirmative replies from five of the speakers. Chief Justice Johnson of the State Supreme Court, Senator Wulfekuhler of Leavenworth, Regent Mitchell and Attorney Perkins of Lawrence are some that have consented to be present and speak.
The committee intends to make this one of the big events in a big week. Undergraduates of law school will be admitted by procuring tickets of the class president.
Band in Trouble.
Fourteen of the band men have been disqualified by the faculty committee on student organizations because of back work. One of the band men said the other day that he was afraid that "he would be barred from chapel if he didn't get up his flunk in gym."
University Vesper Service.
The first vesper service of this season will be held in the University chapel Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. Chancellor Strong will give an address. Professor Hubach will direct the musical program with Miss Greisinger as a companion. The chorus has practiced for several weeks and promises a highly entertaining program. A quartette, composed of Prof. Hubach, Chancellor Strong, Mrs. Ashton and Miss Flintom, will sing. Miss Phipps will play the violin with organ accompaniment for the postlude. The following musical program will be rendered: Organ prelude from Datishle, Lord's Prayer Merbecke, arrained by Stainer, Venite from Woodward, In Excelsis by Teuner, Anthem, Bless the Lord, from "Nain"; Hymn, Number 7, Von Weber, Quartette, Art Thou Weary, Norris, Nunc Dimittis from Gregoriian, Postlude, five Violin with Organ.

Awarded $50.00 Worth of Books.
Oliver Q. Clapflin has been awarded the Edgar Thompson Law Book Company prize of last year. This prize, which consists of a set of American and English Encyclopedia of Law, valued at $50.00, is given for the best legal essay on a subject assigned by the faculty. The contest is open to all the members of the senior law class. A committee appointed by the faculty, judges the manuscripts. Mr. Claplin is now in Kansas City, Kansas.
Will Write Law Book.
Dr. W. L. Burdick has just contracted with Pipes-Reed & Co. of Kansas City to furnish them with a work on "Appellate Procedure in Kansas," to be ready next summer. Last year Mr. Burdick wrote for the American Law Book Company of New York an encyclopedia of of Law quoting 40,000 cases. This is probably the most pretentious work ever written by a Kansas lawyer.
The freshman medics will hold a "fumigation" at the Beta house Friday.
