Captain Nielsen, Hull And Woody Injured In Hard Scrimmage
Prospects For One-Sided Victory
Over Tigers Take
Slump
Four Regulars Out of Game
Battle
Mentor Is Whipping Substitutes Into Shape For Final Battle
Jayhawk prospects for a one-sided victory over the Tiger machine next week took a decided slump yesterday afternoon when three more Jayhawk regulars, including Caps Swedbank, were added to the injured list.
The scrimmage yesterday with Coach Laird's freshmen was by far the roughest one of the season. Captain Nielsen wrenched his right knee near the close of the scrimmage and had to be carried from the field by Jawkwer center, also sprained his right ankle, and had to be carried to the sheds. Warren Woody, K man at right guard broke his nose.
HIT JAYHAWKER PROSPECTS
HIT JAYHAWKER PROSPECTS
These serious injuries along with the sprained ankle and his bones, Jones, his pound left guard who has played his position in every game this season, came as a severe blow to the hopes of the Jayhawker coaches and rooters. One of the features of the season has been that practically the same lineup has played in every game.
It is possible now that Coach Bond will not put the Jayhawker forces through such hard scrimmages for fear more of the regular players will be knocked out. Both Mandeville, regular right halfback, and Dennis, right guard, have just got back into the scrimmages after being out since the Sooner game with sprained ankles.
During the first part of the scrimmage yesterday the Jayhawker-machine marched through the freshman line at will, despite the fact the freshmen were working out Missouri and Kansas, but the Hawker defense was also air tight. At one time Coach Bond gave the freshmen possession of the ball on the Varsity 5-yard line but the freshmen could not put it across the goal line. After fifteen attempts the freshman could hit the ball for a march down the field.
PUT IN NEW BACKFIELD
On the first play Captain Nielsen made a 89-yard run through the entire freshman eleven for a touchdown. Two minutes later Foster, Kansas quarterback, raced sixty yards through a broken field for another touchdown. Both of the touchdowns were made on plays which benefited him halfway to the special benefit of the Tigers Thanksgiving Day.
After Captain Nielsen wrenched his knee, the Kansas mentor sent in an entire new backfield, composed of Marquis, quarterback. Bann left it. The combination was fullback. This combination ripped through the strong freshman line and played practically as good a game as the regulars. The combination is much lighter than the regular back but the players are fast and shifty.
TO KANSAS CITY SATURDAY
A large number of substitutes were also used in line positions. From the number of substitutes the Kansas mentor has been using in the scrimmages this week it seems probable that several of the new players will get into the Missouri game.
Coach Bond will hold no scrimmage Saturday as has been the custom but will take the entire Jayhawker squad to Kansas City, instead to see the Camp Funston-Great Lakes Naval Training Station clash. Manager W. O. Hamilton will also accompany the squad to the game.
Considerable interest is being shown in the game, because of the fact that Coach Beau Olecott is coaching the navy eleven, while Potty Clark, is playing quarterback on the team. This will be confirmed with Lindsey, captain of the Jayhawker eleven last year, who is also playing the army backfield.

The Jayhawkwer forces will leave Monday, and will rest at Moberly, so before going on to Columbia the team will rest on the special train with the rooters.
Laird Develops Frost Into Battling Machine
New Coach Has Men Working Together On Powerful
Offense
Coach Laird's freshman team is fast developing a teamwork and an offense that will gain ground. Last night the frosh plays worked better than at any time this year. Walters and his half-back, half-back, gained gains in the Varsity line, while Heizer, the smashing full-back, could always be counted on for a few yards.
the main weakness of the freshman team this year has been in getting their plays off in good style. The backfield and line were working together last night in a systematic way. Most of the formations are from the Missouri formations, although a few of the old plays are being used.
About thirty men, are out working hard this week to make the trip to Missouri. About twenty men will be taken in appreciation of their services to the Varsity. Among those who have been showing up well this week are: Noles and Montgomery at ends, Duff at center, Porter at left tackle, and Shields, Walters and McMahon as half-backs.
New Training Camp Plan Received By Chancellor
LAWRENCE Business College Lawrence, Kansas.
Information was received today by Chancellor Strong concerning the Third Officers' Training Camp, which is to open on January 5 at Fort Sam Houston and Fort Bliss in Texas, and Fort Chickamauga in Georgia. He also sent men from the army ranks, or from approved universities and military schools. "The University of Missouri is going to be represented there by a large number of young men," said Chancellor Strong this morning, "and I feel that they are deserving of the opportunity for officer's training."
Chancellor Strong is interested in setting all the information possible concerning the date of the second draft and chances for enlistment before that time. He has received no answer to the letter and telegram which he sent this week to the army and navy departments regarding the occasion and enlistment in the navy. He desires that all students wishing information or advice will come to him and he will be glad to help them.

Missouri Valley Run At Kansas City Dec. 1 Is Still Uncertain
Kansas Squad Training Daily To Keep In Shape For
No definite information has been obtained by Fred Rodkey or Coach W. O. Hamilton so far in regard to the annual Mission Ship build, held at Kansas City on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Rodkey has written Dr. Riley of the Kansas City Athletic Association but has not received any answer, the chance for an award ripe for upset in the cross country this year has been at a minimum.
Meet
The Kansas runners have not quit their training, however, and every afternoon the men take their five or three mile run across the hills. Every week the men are supposed to cover twenty-five miles of cross country, taking, an average, five miles each afternoon, but he has been made the last time on the marathon course here, but his work in the meets with Kansas Aggies and Oklahoma was not so good. However, he finished second amongst the Kansas runners in the rally meet at Manhattan last week.
Brown, McCall, and Hanna also have done consistent work. Buffington and Coffey have alternated in the runs. Coffey was out of the conference run last Saturday with a twisted ankle.
Dewall has been the most consistent runner on the team, finishing first of the Kansas runners in all three meets this season. He failed, however, to take first over the competing teams.
Despite the green runners Kansas as made a good record this season
having won victories in dual meets with the Kansas Aggies and the Sooners and taking second place in the all Missouri Valley Conference with the only team that has proven better than the Crusaders and Blue athletes.
