PLAY FARMERS.
NUMBER 22
HART HURT, OUT OF GAME FORRESTOFYEAR.
The Manhattan Team has Made a Good Record This Year
The strong Manhattan team plays the Varsity on McCook, Saturday. The Farmers have only lost one game and that to Washburn, but the records show that the former had the best of the struggle carrying the ball 3 more yards than Washburn. They defeated Fairmount by a better score than did Washburn, and at the present time, it looks as though Kansas would have to play her best to win. Manhattan's back field is fast and heavy while her line men play good ball.
Yesterday evening, Coach Kennedy had two squads at work, and was able to have a scrimmage without calling on the Freshmen. The promise of a free Kansas City trip induces the scrubs to come out quite regularly toward the close of the season. The Varsity tore through their opponents without any difficulty and were not held for downs during the whole evening. Pooler was shifted to his old place at quarter because of an accident to Hart breaking his collar bone. This will put the cool level headed quarterback out of the game, for the rest of the season. Meyers leg is not healing as rapidly as it is wished and it is doubtful if he will even be in the Kansas City game. The back field of Kansas is extremely light at present: Angney and Miller are being trained for halves and Waring bids fair to hold his place at full.
K. U. Medics Coming.
All the K. U. medical students and faculty will come up from Kansas City Friday and attend chapel. Dr. V. C. Vaughn, dean of the Medical School of the University of Michigan, will speak. While here the Kansas City students will be given a liquid air demonstration by Prof. H. P. Cady. Dr. Vaughn will lecture to the medical students at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He will arrive here Thursday afternoon and Professor Sayre will give a smoker for him Thursday evening. Dr. Vaughn is one of the leading medical men in the west.

'09 TO ENTERTAIN.
Farmers vs. K. U. Saturday, Nov. 25.
The Freshmen Are Planning for an Elaborate Party Friday Night.
Admission 50 cents. Season ticket-holders may present coupons at check stand and receive reserved seats free.
The class of '09 will give its initial party at Fraternal Aid Hall Friday night. Arrangements have been completed to make this the best freshman party ever given in Lawrence. A seven-piece orchestra has been engaged to furnish the music and light refreshments will be served during the program. Mrs. Frank Strong, Mrs. J.A. Green and Mrs. F.O. Marvin will be the patronesses of the evening. Chancellor Strong, Judge Green, Dean Marvin, and Dr. Van de Vries will represent the faculty. It is the intention of the committee having the party in charge, that the grand march shall start promptly at nine o'clock in order that the party may not hold so late.
The Force of Determination.
Rev. Mr. Talbott, of Trinity church, Kansas City, told an interesting story in chapel this morning of the college days of the Rev. Cameron Mann, which is interesting both in connection with Mr. Mann's personality, and in showing the efficiency of determination. In his early student days, Mr. Mann was noted for his exceptional ability and almost equally for his disinclination to use it. He was kept after hours time and again to prepare a slighted lesson, and every time a few minutes sufficed to make him master of the task.
The Rev. Mr. Mann, who is now Bishop of North Dakota, delivered the baccalaureate sermon here a few years ago. He is very informal and easy in manner, and on that occasion appeared on the platform wearing a street jacket, cut in the extreme short style then popular.
The college authorities finally lost patience and advised Mr. Mann's father to take him home. There were three scholarship contests and one in oratory in the college each year, and as a means of pacifying his father, the young man bent his efforts toward all of them. To the wonder of everybody he won them all, simply by dint of the enormous amount of work he did in a short time.
Kansas: "Now come, let's play again."
A TIE GAME.
Freshhes and Sophs Play Closest Game Seen on McCook this Year.
On Monday the champion freshman team and the Sophomore team, the latter composed almost entirely of the 'Varsity squad, battled thirty minutes to a tie. The first half was the freshmen's as they carries the ball 58 yards to 38 for their opponents. But in the second half the tables were turned and the sophomores had 80 yards to their credit, while Hamil's men had only 32.
In the last half with only two minutes to play, Rouse got away for a 65 yard run, but was downed within ten yards of the freshmen goal line by Wallace, the fleet right half back. A touchdown seemed imminent, but three successive line plunges did not carry the ball the required five yards, and time was up with the freshmen in possession of the ball on their ten yard line.
Considerable enthusiasm was shown at the game, and between the halves the sophomores gave a serpentine drill on the field. After the game the players were carried from the field by their respective classes. Crowell, Dahlene and Wallace were the stars for the freshmen, but all did good work against their heavier opponents. For the sophs, Waring, White, Rouse and Reed were the best ground gainers. This game closed the season for the freshmen.

THE FOOTBALL PROBLEM.
Chancellor Strong Says Its Relations to Scholarship Is the Question.
Chancellor Strong spoke briefly in chapel Tuesday morning on some features of the National Association of Universities which was in session last week at Washington. "Football was not as the press notices seem to indicate, the chief topic of the meeting," said the chancellor. "In fact no action at all was taken by the Association. From what I have learned from other University presidents, I am convinced the problem is the same everywhere, and that it is simply to keep the right relation between football and scholarship. That, and nothing else is the difficulty. College fraternities face the same problem, and unless the right relation is found and strictly adhered to, I fully expect state legislatures to take decided action upon the status of these things in state institutions. The thing we have to do is to adhere stricly to rules."
Law Student Honored.
W. E. Broadie, of the Law School, has been invited to respond to the toast "Kansas" at the "Kansas Day Republican Club" which meets at Topeka January 29. This toast is always given by a native Kansan Mr. Broadie represented the Southwest Kansas College in the State Oratorical contest at Wichita last year and won first honors.
