Thirty men took part in the preliminary contest at Missouri last Friday night. Kansas will have to look to her laurels this year for Missouri is preparing to get her scalp.
The University loses a large number of students at the close of the fall term. Many of them are freshmen who have made fair grades but who, on account of lack of money feel unable to continue their course. If you are one of these students, try every probable means of obtaining a place to work your way. Visit the Y. M. C. A. bureau of information, see the business men, get a place as night watchman in some undertaking establishment if necessary - do anything to earn your way honestly rather than give up your chances for university training.
The Kansan in its last issue called attention to the fact that no football reception had been given this year or any sweaters or K's bestowed. We have since been informed that this is through no fault of the Athletic Board or Manager Lansdon. The sweaters and K's are here ready for distribution when the boys return their football suits and pay their board at the training table. Only three out of twenty men have returned their suits and only thirteen out of nineteen have paid their board. There is only one way for the athletic board to settle the difficulty, give the men who have paid their board and returned their K's and sweaters and cut the others off for good.
Revised Rules of Football.
In case the American football committee fails to draft rules for football agreeable to the representatives of the "Big Nine," the following are suggested as covering the points that need reforming:
1. Only members of the permanent student body will be allowed to play on the football team.
2. Every football player must carry ten hours more work than the average student and two tardy marks shall disqualify him for the remainder of the season.
3. No professional coach shall be hired. The oldest lady member of the faculty shall give a half hour chalk talk (illustrating the plays) once a week.
4. Freshmen and second teams shall play games, only at night in their rooms just before retiring.
5. No gate admission shall be charged. But a collection to endow a home for broken down football players shall be taken after the game.
RULES ON THE FIELD.
1. Halves shall be over when any player's heart beats faster than 84 per minute. The referee need not discover the irregularity. The word of any spectator will be taken.
2. No tackling will be allowed, but the runner carrying the ball shall be downed when slapped on the back in a gentlemanly manner by an opponent.
3. In order to have a more open style of playing the side carrying the ball shall make the entire length of the gridiron in three downs.
