First Kansas Football Special Left Lawrence 35 Years Ago for Tiger Game in Kansas Citr
Just 35 years ago Saturday, Oct. 31, the first football special train in the history of the University of Kansas stood waiting in the Santa Fe depot in Lawrence to carry 260 students to the Missouri-Kansas football game.
Chancellor Snow and 15 University professors were among the excited group which hastened board the train, composed of two coaches, the entire train that was to carry the first crew of loyal Kansans away from home. We see their victorious gridron warriors in action in foreign territory.
The foreign land was Kansas City, Mo. It was a neutral field and the supporters of each team were about equally divided when it came to quantity. In the volume of yellings, Kansas had the edge, according to the coach of the Jayhawks eleven, Prof. Hopkins, who was then in the department of English. He elected manager of the team, Sept. 18, 1801.
Round Trip for One Dollar
Missouri had the advantage of playing in her home state, but Kansan offset that gain by playing closer in a city where K. U. disciples were as numerous as the M. U. cap porters.
The cost of a round trip on the special was the whole sum of one dollar. Bids were placed with three of the four railroads then connecting Lawrence with the outside world. The Northwestern was honored with a degree of sending the first special train in the history of Kansah football.
"That little band of University students who took the trip to Kansas City in 1801 was just as noisy, and enthusiastic as any other group of students, he said Professor Hopkins. "The little old two-drive wheel engine had to stop between Tonganoxie and Kansas City for water; during the delay they were on a train and crowded on the train and crowded on the carriage to have their pictures taken."
After almost two hours of laboring
the diminutive mogul engine finally chugged into Kansas City at 9:30 o'clock with the two coaches filled with noisy and excited passengers. The football team was escorted from the train to the Midland hotel by the
students, who then proceeded to hold a rally on Twelfth street. The rally was similar to the present day pepp installations, except that the band was hacking—that was before its tinge of violence. When hunters an "eating house" and then hurried out to witness the now historic football battle.
Students Celebrate
Date of Appearance Changed to November 29
In this, the first of the annual hardfought contests between the two schools, Kansas won the victor's laurals by the decisive score of 22 to 8. After the game the K. U. squad and the manager returned to the Midland hotel where the total receipts of the club were $175000. Theenses were paid, the magnificent sum of $300 was all that remained o be divided.

"The settings for the ballet will be gorgorous," Dean Swarthorth said. "The costumes are striking, and with the choreographer playing with the solo and ensembles dance."
The performance of the opera in Lawrence will be its first appearance in Kansas. Later in January it will appear in Kansas City, Mo.
The performance of the opera will last about an hour, and will be preceded by the Pavley-Oukrainy Ballet, consisting of 18 dancers. The two sets of the ballet, and the single act of the opera will be accompanied by Andreas Pavley and his symphony orchestra.
Manhattan Opera Here Art Teachers Addressed by Professor Ketchan
While the team was eating cupier in the hotel, the Kansas supporters were giving vitre to their exuberant joy in a rally in front of the Midland. Kansas City people heard about the University of Kansas from the victorious mobs with much guante far into the night. Then the little Jayhawk revelers decided that the team would greet quieter and wandered slowly to the special training wait at the 0th north side depot.
Aloo Franchetti, the composer of the opera, will appear with the company in Lawrence, and will conduct it. Akiyoshi Hara, the Japanese soprano who plays the title scored an instant success in her appearance at the premiere performance of the opera in the Auditorium, will appear as a member, according to Dean Swarthout.
The date for the appearance in Lawrence of the Manhattan Opera Company and the Pavley-Oukrainik-Ballet has been changed from Dec. 1, 2020, according to an announcement from the School of Fine Arts office.
It was a jubilant group of students who boarded the special for the return to Lawrence at 8:30 o'clock. Many a rock chalk runged through the conches before Lawrence was reached at 10 o'clock.
This change in dates was made necessary by a re-routing of the opera company which made performance in Lawrence in December impossible. He visited Sweetheart, dean of the School of Fine Arts, and sat Saturday morning.
"Namiko San," the opera to be presented by the company in Robinson gymnasium, Nov. 29, is a lyric opera about the life of the first ittouch, it is strikingly similar to "Madame Butterfly." The plot was drawn form an old Nipponese play, and the musical settings are oriental. It shows a decidedly Italian atmosphere.
Read the Kansan want ads.
"Preference in reservations will be given to the holders of these season tickets until Wednesday morning, Nov. 17, when sale to the general public will begin." he said. Holders of season tickets may obtain reservations by presenting them at the Fine Arts office.
"There has already been a strong demand for tickets for the opera which is the next number of the concert series." Swear Dumwahr said, "but only our students out only to holders of season tickets for the University concert course.
It had been a great day; it had been the first, but not the last victory of the Jayhawk over the Tiger. The Jayhawk received with the $150 net receipts, which was deposited in a safe at Woodward's Drug Store, now known to Lawrence as the Round Corner Drug Store. So the Round Corner got the first special training at K. U.

The stag at eve
THIS fellow missed out on a heavy date tonight by the close margin of one phone-call. But don't waste pity on him. He has his jimmypipe and a tidy red tin of Prince Albert . . . grand little pals in time of stress.
When that cool, comforting smoke comes curling up the pipe-stem, troubles evanesce with every puff. For P. A. is The National Joy Smoke in fact as well as phrase. Cool as a money-lender. Sweet as a check from home. Fragrant as a pine-grove on a damp morning.
You'll like Prince Albert better than any other tobacco you ever packed into a pipe. You'll like the friendly way it treats your tongue and throat. You'll like the way it helps you over the rough spots. Buy a tidy red tin today and see!
