KANSAS TEAM LEAVES FOR DRAKE THURSDAY
Clark Holds Practice Games Tonight and Tomorrow in Preparation
ARMY GAME HARD ON MEN
Allen Expresses Appreciation For Many Telegrams Received at West Point
The Kansas Jayhawks returned from their eastward jaint late last night and after two days at home and two hard workouts, the Kansas will leave at 8:20 o'clock. Thursday night, over the Santa Clara Valley, they will meet the Drake Bulldog in a game next Saturday.
Coach Potty Clark said this morning that the trip home had been hard on the men and its effect might be noticeable in the Drake game. Two hard practices will be held tonight and Thursday, however, and the men will have a practice on Friday and will have a day and a night to rest before the game.
They Learned in Army Game
They Learned in Army Game "The men learned a lot," Coach Clark said. "We regretted the fact that it had to rain, but the trip an the game were well worth while. The team gained much confidence.
"It was a hard vicious game," Coach Clark said. "The field was wet and muddy and the Army team, outweighing the Kansas eleven considerably, drove fiercely at the Kansas line. The punting of McAdams was one of the features of the game, Mac making punts for 30 to 40 yards with not a single kick consistently but outkicked Wood, the army palmer. The play of McLean at end was also one of the developments of the game."
Army Has Great Team
The Army has a wonderful team according to the men who watched the game. The work of Wood and Smythe was great, these two men proving the two most efficient cogs in the Army offensive.
"I never saw any finer play," said Dr. F. C. Allen. "The Army team starts its plays with a snap and a drive not seen in the Missouri Valley. All the men who started in the game for West Point were playing their third or fourth year with the Army, playing his second year with the Army and has played three years with Washington and Jefferson."
Many Telegrams Received
Many telegrams.
Dr. Allen expresses appreciation for the team for the telegrams received before the game, he games. The West Point authorities had declared that never in the history of West Point had so many telegrams received urging a team on to victory.
The interest in the game in the east was at a high pitch, according to Doctor Allen. It was estimated that 10,000 persons from New York would have attended the game had it not been for the rain.
GIANTS ARE PERFECTION
Claims Head Caretaker of Polo Grounds
New York, Oct. 11 (United Press)
—Henry Fabricius is the boss of the barbers and massage experts who keep the playing field at the Pole grounds perfectly grounded. He is a good one, too.
He has one abiding devotion, one unswerving fanatism and one idea of perfection and it is all wrapped up in the New York Giants. His loyalty for John McGraw and bigGiants is too big for the Polo grounds.
After his daily afternoon duty of painting fresh white lines around the plate and flicking off every pebble from the velvet-like turf, he to a snap took a field shift and listened there to tell any and all listening to the glory of the Giants and the misery of all other ball clubs.
Fabian is willing to admit that Babe Ruth is the greatest hitter of the present day, but he said:
"Id like to see Dellahatta in there hitting at that rabbit ball."
"I'd like to see Delahanty in there hitting at that rabbit bill." Ruth, he maintains, can be stopped by pitch to him. It smart enough to pitch to him.
"The trouble was, until the Giant pitcher showed 'om last fall, that all the pitchers tried to fool him and he killed bad balls. Brothers and all the sluggers told me they struck out most of the time on balls right in the middle. If those American League pitcheres would go out and pitch to him, he wouldn't hit so many home runs.
"McGraw knew how to stop him and he did."
Harry Kemp, Tramp, Adventurer Author, Poet, and K. U. Student Publishes the Story of His Life
An auto-biographical narrative entitled "Tramping on Life," by Harry Kemp, noted as the trump poet of Kansas, has just been published by Liveright. Kemp was a familiar friend to many of his students from 1910 to 1913, and is well known to many of the faculty and alumni. For many years the newspapers have devoted space to stories of his escapes, but now he is relating his experiences as a trump, bumming freights, and advertising over he world.
Besides starting a little theater in Minetta Lake, Greenwich Village, a few years ago, Kemp is the author of several plays and a novel. Among his works are "Judas," "The Cry of Youth," "The Thresher's Wife," "The Passing God," and "John Gregory." To some he is known by the fact that he trumpeted all over North America and made a trip around the world, starting with only a quarter in his pocket.
Many incidents in his college career evidence his extreme eccentricity of disposition and unconventionality of manner.
Kemp possessed an active mind, his thought jumping from one thing to another with such rapidity that the average person could not keep up with him. The story is told that after a conversation with him one day, William Allen White said: "He goes off to find some other person to listen
o his views while I go to bed with nervous prostration."
Although Kemp was enrolled in the University for several years at spasmoid periods, it is doubtful if he had credits enough to be ranked as more than a freshman. He hated the idea of filling a group. He took only those things that appealed to his fancy. If he did not fancy a course, he dropped it and took up one which seemed to be a superior opportunity to explain his theories to an audience. In studying Plato, he preferred to discuss his own theories rather than those of Plato. In A Latin poetry and harped so much on covered a new metrical system in Latin poetry and harped so much upon it that he made himself a nuance. Kemp was no respector of persons. He held the theories of Plato and other great men in no more cateen than he would those of a junitar. He was a newspaperman and for years editor of "Outlook," was delivering a series of lectures here. Kemp arose and criticized his views as he would those of one of his classmates.
One could never tell whether or not Kemp was taking seriously or merely poking fun at the world. One evening after he had returned from a summer spent in the harvest fields, he together with a few friends, gathered in the office of what then the Lawrence World. Kemp was in

one of his serious moods. Mr. Joseph Murray, now of the Lawrence Journal-World, says that evening Kemp gave one of the finest lectures on Shakespeare that could possibly be given. He often took long walks into the theater alone, to take a ride with it, to see rode a cattle ship to Australia, tramped about this country on foot, and bummed his way on the rods.
