LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 8,1905.
ON TO WASHBURN
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF KAN- SAS, SATURDAY.
Captain Pooler May be out of Game---Caldwell, the Washburn Negro, out with Broken Shoulder.
NUMBER 18
Next Saturday the championship of Kansas will be decided in the annual struggle between Washburn and K. U. Both teams have won every game played against schools in the state and have disposed of every contender for championship honors. Washburn, although scored upon in every contest but one, has won every game, while Kansas lost to the strong Colorado team. There are several peculiar features this year. Coach Outland, of Washburn, was formerlyone of K.U.'s coaches; Bert Kennedy, the Kansas director, coached Washburn's ever victorious team of'03. Hill, Washburn's captain, and Pooler, the leader of the K. U. team, are from neighboring towns of the short grass country. Last year K. U. won 5 to 0 on a long run of Pooler, while the year before Washburn made the same score on a field goal by Caldwell.
The 'Varsity football squad is going through strenuous drill the last two days preparatory to the Washburn game at Topeka Saturday. The conditions in the Jayhawker camp are not the most auspicious. Meyers the regular right-halfback is still out of the game with his sprained knee and Captain Pooler has not gotten in practice this week on account of a bruised toe. At Washburn, however, their star back field player Caldwell is, in all probability, out of the game with a broken collar bone.
This game calls forth the best that is in Washburn since the defeat of Kansas means more at Topeka than any other game on their schedule. The "dope" as figured by the games already played gives Kansas University the advantage. Kansas defeated Oklahoma 34 to 0, while a week later Washburn was victor by the score of 9 to 6. Also Washburn has had her goal line crossed in every game this season but one while Kansas had her line crossed but once and that by the strong Colorado team. Year before last Washburn won 5 to 0, and last year Kansas 5 to 0.
Coach Kennedy will give the boys secret practice the rest of the week and the speed of the 'Varsity will be developed. It is very likely that Brunner will play his old place at right tackle and Waring will be used at full. Milton has been practiced at kicking goal in case Pooler should not be able to boot the pig-skin.
A Washburn pennant has been offered to the person composing
the best yell before the K. U.
game.-Washburn Review.
When three hundred more students have become rooters, and have practiced a good yell for two weeks, maybe we can show K. U. that Washburn can yell as well as play ball.-Washburn Review.
Glen Houghey made a tackle in the Oklahoma game that was as good in every way as the one he made when posing for the poster cut. -Washburn Review.
The New Athletic Board Takes Control--Would Form Tri- State League.
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
The athletic board held its first meeting since the fall election, Monday noon. All the members were present. Professor Sterling, as chairman of the eligibility committee, reported the names of three players on the 'Varsity squad whose work was unsatisfactory. The men were given until the 14th of the month to bring up their work.
Prof. Sterling also introduced a motion which reads as follows:"that the Kansas athletic board invite the athletic boards of the State Universities of Neuraska and Missouri to enter into negotiations with the Kansas board and each other looking forward toward the organization of a Tri-State Athletic League to include the Universities of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri." In order that the athletic board members might find out the wishes of the athletic association the motion was
laid on the table for another week.
At the next meeting of the athletic board it is very probable that this motion will be passed and Kansas will by its passage make a step toward the bringing about of athletic relations between the three states named.

ART EXHIBIT OPENS 22ND
The Collection is Bible Pictures by Tissot.
The annual art exhibit of the University of Kansas will be opened Nov. 22nd on the first floor of the Museum and will continue three weeks.
The exhibit this year is of 396 water color drawings, eighteen by twenty-one inches in size, by J. James Tissot. These drawing are illustrations of the Old Testament and will be so arranged as to tell the story of the Old Testament as it is told ih the Bible.
The artist is a Frenchman, who for a long time painted only pictures characteristic of Parisian life. While painting his pictures of "la Femme à Paris" he went to mass one morning to study the atmosphere of the "choir singer" and while there was inspired to paint on religious subjects. Although he was then 50 years old he went to Palestine to study places associated with the Scripture. For ten years he studied the people, their customs, their characteristics. He read every document that would give him the desired information concerning the Bible. During his stay in Palestine he painted 365 oil and water color pictures, and made 150 pen and ink sketches.
After the exhibit here the pictures will be sent to Washington, from there to Baltimore and then to Philadelphia.
PROFESSOR BOODIN TALKS.
Says Punishment Is What One Fails to Become.
Professor John E. Boodin spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the old story of Cain and Abel, and showed the analogy between its principles and modern political and industrial organization.
He asserted that the crime of Cain then was in his failure to respect other ideas and that the same failures branded as Cain's disciples the political or industrial organizations which disregarded the rights and privileges of others. "The punishment of Cain is upon him," continued the professor, "in the unrest and dissatisfaction within. The victory of life is in what one becomes and the punishment is what one fails to become."
John M. Pattison, the newly elected governor of Ohio, is the father of the popular "Jack" Pattison, who took his A. B. here last year. Jack is in Harvard this year. The Pattisons are relatives of Professor C. R. Dunlap of the English department.
Mr. C. M. Harger, of the Abilene Reflector, was expected to talk on "Telegraph News" to the newspaper class Nov. 13, bnt on account of the serious illness of his daughter, it is probable that Mr. Harger's lecture will be postponed.
