UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CLASS FOOTBALL TEAMS TO FRONT
Gridiron Enthusiasts of All Classes Will Have Chance in Intramural Games
The football season may close off officially on Turkey Day, but there is going to be some very interesting games played in these parts after the Bengal's tail has been attractively knotted.
Interclass football has its place on Mt. Oread just as the intramural game is played at other universities and colleges. In this way every man can obtain the benefits of the vigorous exercise derived from football. If a man has the ambition to climb into a set of football armour and can stand cold weather he will be given all the chance he wants to star.
The coaches are always there to discover a bright and shining light in the various passers, luggers, booters, and line-splitters that assemble for duty with the pig-skin. Some of the Varsity stars have been discovered in this way. There are the Ruble brothers, Wint Smith and many others who

were "found" by the ever-alert eye on Coach Olcott while watching the interclass games.
Interclass sports are not limited to football. Basketball and track also have their place in the athletic rivalry of the classes. Manager W. O. Hamilton offers every inducement to the men of the University to interest them in all forms of physical exercise. Manager Hamilton says that any man who desires to play out a football suit out there are not more men interested in the interclass football it is because they lack the spirit and the initiative to come out.
The sophomores have been the only aspirants to begin practice, but after the Missouri game there are bound to appear many other men who are too busy at the present time to take advantage of an early start. It is a difficult matter to pick the winning team this year as each one presents a strong lineup. The sophomores are their boasts because they will have many of the incarce stars from the Varsity. But then—this is the season for all dope to be upset and the freshmen, juniors and seniors aren't troubled much.
Owing to the fact that the teams will have only two weeks before the Christmas vacation, students must be able to speed in practice. The first rehearsal will be Monday.

Governor Comming
In a letter today to a K. U. faculty
member Governor Capper of Kansas
said:
"I am cancelling my engagements here for Thanksgiving dinner in order that I may go to Lawrence on Thursday to boost for the K. U. boys. I am deeply interested in the game. Nothing has pleased me more this year than the great K. U. victory at Lincoln and I am confident that our boys will keep up the good work Thursday."
Speeded Up a Bit
A mark for rapid playing that aspiring teams can stand off and shoot at for some time to come was made by the Kansas team in one of the games on the 1895 schedule. In the first half of the game, there were 90 plays made in the 30 minutes, according to the newspaper reports. The second half was even speedier, as 155 plays were made in this half. In this game Fred Gump, one of the Kansas halfbacks, carried the ball for eleven consecutive downs, making a gain on each play.
GEDNEY DOES GREAT WORK
IN LEADING K. U. CHEERING
Kenneth H. Gedney, this year's cheerleader, with his two assistants, Bud Erwin and Bruse Baker, is due a one-off invitation for his ability. Several students have expressed the opinion that the cheerleaders this year are better than K. U. has had in several years. They have had the "pep" that all cheerleaders must have, they have felt their responsibility, and, last but not least, they have worked in unison on the yells. They get a slight vacation and then the basketball season begins and follows with the track meets and football in the spring. However, football season sees it, and now that is about over, it can be said that Gedney with his assistants has done all that was expected of him. The election of the next cheerleader comes in the spring and probably will be contested as much as the last one.
HIKERS STARTED ROCK CHALK YELL
Present Yell is Different From Original-Crimson and Blue Colors New
"Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. U."
How many of the students or even the members of the faculty know the origin of the famous K. U. yell? Unless the answer would be 'not many'?
Long years ago a group of students banded together in what was then known as the "Science Club It". The members frequently went on picnics or took long hikes and it was on one of these hikes that E. H. S. Bailey, who is at present a memoirist, wrote that the University should have a yell. The yell as originated by Mr. Bailey was;
Rah Rah
Jay Hawk
K U.
In course of time the yell was sheared to the one which is used at the present.
Along with the origin of our yell, it may be interesting to know that the colors, Crimson and Blue, were not the first colors of the University but instead they were corn yellow and sky blue
It happened in this manner. When Mr. McCook, a Harvard man donated what is now the McCook field to the University, the athletic board decided to use the crimson of Harvard for one color and in contrast to it the blue of Yale. Thus originated the crimson and the blue.

straightway is admitted to the field. And loud is the praise of those former "K" men who have seen the Jayhawker Varsity in action. "Swift and precise," they say of the Varsity's ballerina, "who must ought to get away good tomorrow."
PUNTING WILE COUNT
Punting will doubleless be an important skill to be with the Tigers and Lindsey, who will play his last game on McCook against the Missouriurs tomorrow, is expected to outdo his former record as a booster. What tactics the Kansans will use is, of course, strictly under cover," but if the defensive game is used, Kansas will undoubtedly beat the Lionsowski, of the Missouri school, is one of the best handlers of punts the Valley possesses, and he is generally good for a return of from ten to twenty-five yards.
PUNTING WILL COUNT
Kansas tackles will have to see to it that he is promptly halted in his little runs down the field.
Kansas adherents are firm in their belief that the Jayhawkers will use the forward pass tomorrow; but rumor has it that the coaches have other tactics on their sleeves. "The pass was all right against Oklahoma," said one player this morning, "and we used it to win from them for the first time in five years. It was useful against Nebraska, but—now—Well, Missouri's different. Wait and see!"
Neither Coach Olcott nor Coach Clarke is making any optimistic prophecies about tomorrow's contest. The spirit of over-confidence which came into the Kansas camp after the victory over Nebraska has not yet on its way to being fully coached, though claiming that there is no over-confidence on the team, are anxious to see that even the rooters do not become too sure of the result.
No Autos on McCook
For the first time this year autos will not be admitted to McCook field for the Tiger game. Box seats have been built on the running track where the cars have been parked in former games. Those who drive cars to the game will be allowed to park them just east of the field on the golf links.
