First Jayhawk Special Train Journeyed to Foreign Fields Over Thirty-Five Years Aged
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 Field in Lawrence to carry 260 students to the Missouri-Kansas football game.
Chancellor Snow and 15 University proxies were among the excited group which hastened aboard the train, composed of two coaches, the cabine train that was to carry the first crowd of loyal Kansans away from the town so we see their ever-victorious gridiron action in foreign territory.
The foreign land was Kansas City, Ms. It was a neutral field and the supporters of each team were about equally divided when it came to quantity. In the volume of yelling, Kansas had the edge, according to the dayhawker eleven, Prof. E. H. Horton, dean of the department of English. He was elected manager of the team, Sept. 15, 1891.
Rand Trip for One Dollar
Missouri* had the advantage of sharing in her home state, but Kansas effect that gain by playing closer in a city where K. U. displeased amateurs at the M. U. 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 trophy or awarding the first special train in the history of Kansas football.
"That little band of University students who took the trip to Kansas City in 1891 was just as noisy, and there was any other group of students who had taken a ride said Professor Hopkins. "The little old two-drive wheel engine had to stoe between Tongnoxie and Kansas City for water; during the delay they had to walk on train and crowded on the engine and cars to have their pictures taken."
12 Hours for Trip
After almost two hours of laboring the immature magog engine finally chugged out at 1:30 p.m. 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 pep

**Victories in '96, '96, and '16**
*Do you remember?* It is 1925. Well, way back in 1895 and again in 1906 and also in 1914 Kansas beat these opponents. These victories come in cycles of every ten years. Now, it's 1925.
But we also beat them in 1892,
1893, 1895, 1899, 1899, 1909 and
tied them in 1920 with a 29 to 20 score,
and again tied them to 0 in 1923.

institutions, except that the band was lacking—that was before its time. After the rally, the participants hunted an "earing house" and then hurried out to witness the new historic football battle.
In this, the first of the annual hardfought contests between the two schools, Kansas won the victor's innies 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 prize money collected were paid, the magnificent sum of $300 was all that remained 'o be divided.
While the team was eating up in the hotel, the Kansas supporters were giving vent to their exasher joy in a rally in front of the Midland. Kansas City people heard about the University of Kansas from the victorious mob with much guts far into the night. Then the little band of dayhawk revelers decided to jump out and greet the greatest wunderwardly to the special training waited at the old north side depot.
Students Celebrate
It was a jubilant group of students who boarded the special for the return to Lawrence at 8:30 o'clock. dany a rock chalk reshuffled through his coaches before Lawrence was eached at 10 o'clock.
It had been a great day; it had been the first, but not the last victory of the Jayhawk over the Tiger. It was the second victory of the $150 net receipts, which was deposited in a safe at Woolard's Drug Store. now known to Lawrence as the Round Corner Drug Store. So we were able to meet the first special train at K. U.

Laying brick and doing masonry work on most of the University buildings since the Journalism building was finished in 1887, is the experience of William Hagan, 1745 Tennessee street.
Fifty Years of Service Is Employee's Record
"Boys need to shoot rabbits in the hedge fence that ran across the Hill where the street car tracks now are while we were laying the walls of Snow hall," said Mr. Hagan. "Even twenty years ago, two men could take the bus to campus and talk about the campus, but now it takes almost one hundred and fifty."
Mr. Hagan has worked almost fifty years intermittently for the University and he started in 1915 to work steadily by the month. He started in as a day builder and afterwards helped build a snow hall, Green hall, Marvin hall, Robinson gymnasium, the repair shops, the chancellor's residence, and the Chemistry building. He also had the old building stone down from old North College in the city, and an upside street opposite the stadium.
Mr. Hagan has quite a reputation among the workers of the buildings and grounds department. They say that he can lay more brick and do it faster than the famous Indian Jim of the Olathe road. He has an enormous capacity for work his fellow laborers. But do not ask any of the
laborers for M. Hagan. He is known on the campus as "Duck," a name which he says has stayed with him since childhood. He may be found at the noon hour engaged in a chequer tournament in the carpenter shop. Checker eliminations are on the regular schedule at this place every day.
K. U. May Get Mat Meet
Lookabaugh Makes Strong Bid for Valley Contest
Because of its central location the University of Kansas is the probable place for the holding of the 1827 Annual Missouri Valley wrestling meet. Negotiations are being made with coaches of other valley schools, according to Coach Guy Lookbaugh in an attempt to bring the meet to Kansas next spring. In previous years, Coach Lookbaugh lahoma, which has proved unsatisfactory to the northern valley schools due to its location.
The chances for a good team at the University this year are favorable. Coach Lookabaugh predicts a much better team now than those of former years. Although new *preen* are required, other men who are interested are urged to come out and make a bid for team positions.
The new wrestling mat which was ordered earlier in the season has arrived, affording more room.
