KANSAS DOESN'T ASK FOR OWEN AS COACH
Manager Hamilton Says Story in Kansas City Star Is Untrue and Groundless
"Ridiculous" is the way Manager W. O. Hamilton expresses himself in regard to a story in last night's Kansas City Star saying that Bennie Owen would direct the destinies of the 1915 Jayhawk football squad.
The story originated when Manager Hamilton and Owen were seen together at last week's meeting of the National Intercollegiate Association in Chicago. Athletic representatives from every important school in the country attended the meeting to acknowledge the importance of Hamilton and Owen was taken as a sure sign that the two men had merely gone to the Chicago meeting to talk over the K. U. coaching situation for 1915.
As far as I know now, Coach Wheaton will be back next fall to be our head coach", said Manager Hamilton last night in discussing the story. "There has never been any time that him not coming back as far as I know."
Coach Wheaton has made no statement, would not coach the Kansans next fax.
Dismiss German Professors

Many complaints have been received about professors Benzinger, Mueller and Tapper concerning their being alien foreigners, and last Friday a board of governors meeting was called to deal with this situation. This meeting drew some comment and decided that the best thing to do was to grant leave of absence to the three professors in question.

ENGINEERS GET GOOD JOBS BASKET TOSSERS TO OPEN LONG SESSION WITH AMES
Last Year's Class Is Scattered Over Eleven States
Engineers, as a rule, never fail to get a good position on graduating. Unlike other professional men they scatterer to all parts of the country; last year they held 40% of the class. With one exception, they are all following the profession learned at the University. C. S. Cassingham being the only one to develop an ambition along other life is now farming near Leavenworth.
The headquarters of the Frisco lines at Springfield, Mo., claim L. E. Bollinger, P. K. Bunn, Harsha Young, J. E. Larue, D. U. Reid. A. B. Underwood is working for the same company in Louisiana.
Contracting and engineering firms in Kansas City are using the ideas of A. B. Bruok, M. V. Holmes, J. S. Butler, C. L. Angevine, H. C. Ackerman, L. E. Nofsinger, and O. H. Horner, G. C. Glenn and W. N. Moore to make a valuation of its property in Oklahoma.
The other graduates of the School of Engineering are scattered through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana. Inevitable currents through little wires to digging holes in the ground in search of oil.

Four Veteran Players Will Make the Trip Into Iowa Territory
The Jayhawker basketball squad under the leadership of Coach W. O. Hamilton leaves Thursday afternoon for Ames, Iowa, where they open the 1915 season Friday afternoon with the Iowa Farmers. A second game will be played with the Iowans Saturday afternoon.
Although having four left-fewers from last year's squad that won the Missouri Valley championship, the Jayhawker squad will tackle two hard battles, for its opening games. The team will be handicapped by having to play in the afternoon and on the biggest floor in the Valley. Under the guidance of coaching passing will be at a severe handicap. Practice . Last Night.
The first practice of the new year was held last night and despite their two week's absence from a basketball court the men showed up in good shape. Weaver at center, Sproull at forward and Folk and Kapitan at back who will probably start the Ames games. For the other forward position Coach Hamilton has Apple, a Reno county high school product, Sorensen of Emporia and Heath and Wood, both football K men. Apple and Sorensen seem to have the edge on the position but the team started in the Ames games as the companion forward to Sproull.
To give the home folks a chance to see the team in action before the opening Missouri Valley games with the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the 22nd and 23rd of this month, Coach Hamilton has scheduled two games with non-conference teams for next week. The Nebraska ramsburg Normals coached by Phog Allen, a K. U. alumnus, will meet Captain Dunnie's men. Friday night the William Jewell five will oppose the Jayhawker aggregation.
$15 Gets one Get it?
Still plenty of Good Benjamin Suits worth twenty-five dollars--the sheep to put them out of their misery. My Esquimaux guides made it plain to me in a rude way that meat on that mountain was not good. They pulled at me and urged me to get out in all haste. They seemed frightened and would not stay near me, when I took the skin from one of the animals with the disease. She had I realised my days. I should not have done it. Yet there was really no cause for alarm for I put the skin in a solution at once. It is now in the museum at the University."

Professors Thorpe and Van der Vries in person and Prof. H. A. Rice by proxy counted the votes just before having for the Christmas vacation.
Photographer Con Squires will furnish the pictures and they will appear on a special beauty page in the 1915 Jayhawker.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP HAVE
HOOF AND MOUTH DISEASE
Rocky Mountain sheep have the hoof and mouth disease, according to investigations made by Prof. L. A. O'Connor under during his travels in the Northland
"It is hardly possible that the disease could have originated on the mountain tops of Alaska," says Professor Dyche, "where everything is underwater, including colonization and domesticated animals yet I found herds of three or four hundred Rocky Mountain sheep dead dying, and starving with the plague
"The white-headed eagle might have carried the disease to the sheep by eating infected meat in civilized regions."
Far above the timber line in the mountain tops southeast of Mt. McKinley and above the Knick River in Alaska. Professionals in horrible suffering too weak to run from the explorer or the vengeance of the hungry wolf.
"Though I had never seen the dis-
kness of her, I knew she knew
it at one and I shot many of
her."
