THE KANSAN.
VOLUME II.
WASHINGTON U.
KANSAS MEETS THE ST. LOUIS SCHOOL SATURDAY.
Let's Organize, "Rooters," and Emulate the Example of Colorado.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 1, 1905.
Washington University of St. Louis, will be the attraction on McCook next Saturday. The strength of the Missourians is not totally unknown, as they defeated Arkansas 6 to 0, a few weeks ago, the same score that Kansas ran up against the Razorbacks. Kansas will be in good condition and will not be handicapped by the mountain air nor "rank" officials. The rooting department must be strengthened, if we ever hope to win hard games. The boys say that Colorado had the best organized "rooting"that they ever heard. When the boulder excursion, carrying the Colorado men, arrived in Denver, the supporters of the silver and gold fell into line like trained soldiers and gave an exhibition of marching that would do credit to a military academy. Each man wore a black suit with a silver and gold arm band and carried a megaphone. At the game they sang "Glory, glory, Colorado," and gave their yells with a vim that was new to the Kansans.
TO COMPROMISE.
Council Would Maintain Society Control of Debating.
The debating council met Monday evening and discussed the proposition made by the Chancellor to assume financial responsibility of debating if it were placed on a University basis. The members of the council felt that it would be in excess of their authority to accept the offer as it stands without instructions from their respective societies. They made a counter offer, however, to admit six men outside of any literary organizations and to accept Chancellor Strong's proposition if he should agree to these conditions.
A committee was appointed with Frank Grant as chairman, to present the plan to the Chancellor. The conference will be held tomorrow.
An illustrated lecture on "The Construction and Equipment of Steam Vessels" will be given by Prof. P. F. Walker, M. M. E. in the lecture room of Blake Hall Thursday Nov. 2nd at 5 P.M.
Engineers, Attention.
Dr. Burdick to Y. M. C. A.
Dr. W. L. Burdick will address the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the Christian Church.

The excursion tickets will also be good on all regular trains. The game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock.
Team Gets Home.
The football team arrived home Monday evening and was met at the depot by an enthusiastic crowd of admirers. All the boys report a good time in Denver and fine treatment by the Colorado people. Although Kansas received the wrong end of the score, Colorado did not win as easily as the score would indicate.
The team was handicapped by the altitude. While the officials were apparently trying to give both teams a square deal, Colorado got the better of every close decision. On two different occasions when the ball was fumbled by the Mountaineers near their own goal it was given back to them by the referee although a Jayhawker had possession of the pigskin.
In the first half K. U. carried the ball more yards than Colorado. Manager Lansdon deserves special credit for a successful trip. He arranged an excursion over the Georgetown loop for the team last Sunday, and did everything in his power to show the boys a good time.

FRESHMEN GET HOME.
Played in Snow Storm--Freshmen All Victorous Team.
The freshmen football squad arrived home Sunday morning after a very hard trip and close game at Iola. Hamil's boys fought like Trojans to add another victory to their enviable record.
It was through a series of persistent plunges, directed through center, that Dahlene and Crowell were able to cross the high school boys' goal line. The entire game was played in a snow storm. At times the players were unable to see the goal posts and once they were found running the short way of the field through mistake. The unfavorable weather alone kept the '09ers from a large score since their goal line was never in jeopardy.
Very bright indeed is the prospects for Freshmen "all victorious." The Hellespont has been crossed and the remaining schedule will serve only to add a series of victories.
Allen Elected Manager.
The freshman basket ball men have elected Forrest Allen, world's champion, manager of their team for the season of '05-06. Allen will play forward as soon as the freshman foot ball schedule is over. Bergen, of Chicago, will play center or back. Johnson, of Lawrence, is trying for guard. McCune, of Leavenworth, will contest hard for a position as forward. All freshmen who expect to try for the team are requested to report to the gymnasium, Friday evenings, at 7 o'clock, to play the 'varsity a practice game of 20 minutes.
First Piano Recital.
The first number in the course of four piano recitals will be given by Mr. Edward Baxter Perry in Fraser hall tonight. This course is under the management of the School of Fine Arts. The other three will be: 2nd recital, December, by Harold Henry; 3rd recital, January, by Mary Hallock Greenewalt; 4th recital, February, by Carl A. Preyer.
A Stormy Meeting.
C. A. Leinbach, manager of the Annual, came near being mobbed today at noon in a meeting with the Senior Laws. When requested to pay their assessment of $3.50 for the Senior Play and annual in advance as the Arts and Engineers had done, the Laws refused because they had not been consulted in making the plans. Leinback told them that if they paid now they would have two members on the board, and only one ff they did not. After a little storming the Laws unceremoniously adjourned.
