'PLAY CLEANER BALL'
SAYS ILLINOIS MAN
"Dirty Work on The Gridiron Soon Threatens Existence of College Game."
That "dirty" playing will kill football unless action is taken by certain coaches and officials is the opinion of G. Huff, director in the University of Illinois, according to an article in the Chicago Tribune. An increasing tendency and officials to go dirty playing is perpetrated to go unchecked will play on trial for its life. The complete article follows:
"The existence of football will be threatened, sooner or later, unless a growing tendency to forget the lesson of some years back and return to the practices which put the sport on trial for its life is checked.
"I refer to unnecessary and unfair roughness. I do not criticize hard playing, and football, as a matter of fact, is rough. Not noticed are the difficulties of production of the matches which nearly cost the galleries their favorite game.
Coaches Urge Rough Tactics?
Coaches OK!
"I already year I have seen
needed dressing. I have seen playen
dress their feet over the head of
an opponent. 'Piling up' even when
easily seen to be unnecessary, goes
unrebuked. The blame for the existence of this tendency is to be placed on the heads of unscrupulous coaches and complacent officials. It is a matter of common report in the conference camps that coaches make no bones of encouraging their men to march and slug if they can get away with it. Their linenmen tenderness and curse their opponent hoping to lead them into play of honest and almost justifiable physical retaliation that will paraps be seen and punished.
"For the most part western officials have ceased to pay any attention to unnecessary roughness. After the agitation which changed the rules officials were quick to punish violations. I am aware that often it is hard to differentiate between intentional and unintentional roughing it, but I have seen flagrant violations ignored.
"Let 'em fight it out," seems to be the implied attitude of many officials, especially the attorneys; the attempts to be sane get the worst of it.
Some Other Types of problem in the west incidentally needs study. Or rather it is the official who needs it. Just as there are conscientious men who make a thorough study of rules, there are other knowledge areas that more than can be shown when an infrequent incident exposes their ignorance.
"I am a believer in football as a square, manly sport if properly supervised. I would regret to see it lost, but I firmly believe that after success with the new style of game all will go for naught unless coaches and officials see that the practices I mention are eliminated."
TRACK WORK STARTS

Freshies Again Dark Hair
The freshies are as usual dark horses, pure beauty. There is an excellent material among the first year men. Heath, candidate for the freshman football eleven, possesses many good records in the high and low hurdles, while Dick Small, another Kansas City boy, hurts the discus far above the Freshies. The freshiest man up a good class is in the inter-class meets; their class has more loyalty than the rest.
And so, from the above lineup, the track meet to be held on McCook field a week from Tuesday should be interesting and hard-fought. If their class needs them in a pinch those two old war horses, Lefty Sproul, and Gene Davis may stop their work over in the training shed and emerge in track suits, ready for battle.

Quality Goods Attract Quality Trade
Says the Kansas City Star, "in the Oklahoma game the Jayhawkers displayed little football ability. They didn't seem to know the signals well, their line failed to hold, and their ends were skirted repeatedly. On top of all this the kicking was miserable, and the Minnesota Shift was a complete fizzle." Well, aside from those few features,
Parsons was the scene of an angry group of men Friday night, when Arthur Mosse, Manager Hamilton, and Jack Grover failed to make connections with a train which was to carry them toward Columbia to carry them toward the Miss-Rolla team, held there the next day. Hamilton and Mosse wished to witness the spectacle, and Grover was scheduled to referee.
In picking the All-Missouri Valley football team, Arthur Mose, the Kansas coach, advises the critics to look long and hard at Capshaw, Courtwright, and Beeds, and the three men have no equals in the backfields of any of the conference teams, according to the Kansas coach.
It may be a surprise to the Jaya-
hawker students to note that Hardy,
left half on the Washburn Ichabads,
is a negro. Kansas and Nebraska
have been having considerable liti-
gation over the playing of Ross, the Cornhusker's big black, but little has been said concerning Hardy contesting. This is due to the effect that the Nebraska game will have an effect on the race for the Championship; the Washburn battle will not.
Word has been received from Nor man, Okla., to the effect that Claudi Reeds did not break his nose in the Jayhawker game Friday, as had been feared. Reeds accounted for an akebie hearin' in the third quarter, but refused to have it attended to until after the end of the game.

Detwiler May Not Get in Saturday's Game But Other Men Are in Fair Condition
Leonard Frank looked over the lechadots in their game with the State Teachers Saturday, and realizes the worth of the Washburn eleven. Not in a class with Oklahoma, Frank nevertheless believes that the Topeka lads will fight hard from start to finish on McCook Saturday, and lots of fight and "p" on the part, of their kaleidoscopic rivals in their game. The Congregationalists whitewashed us last year, 10 to 0, and both coaches are training the eleventh to wine out this defeat.
Beaver.
Heath is Topeka's hope. Combined with Trobbert he is the mainstay of Cipr Gray's eleven, and is known to be a power on the defense and a good player when Washburn is in possession of the ball. The eleven, according to Coach Frank, is heavy and fast, and the Jayhawkers will have the battle of their lives on their hands. Saturday.
The Ichabod line-up has not yet been announced. Trobert at end and in the kicking department, Deaver at quarter, with Bearg and Hardy in the backfield are the individual Washburn stars. Hardy is a negro, against whom the Jayhawkers have played before.
The report which has been generally circulated over the hill that half the Kansas eleven was ready for the hospital is false. Stuewe scrimmaged last night, but the coming game, but Greenlee is in fair condition, Wilson, was excused from Monday's practice because of being "all in" from the hard game of the Friday preceding, but is in the line-up now, and the team as a whole is in fair position for its next contest on diet cook.

"Department Scarcely Feels Repaid For Trouble in Bringing Etchings to K. U."—Griffith
According to Professor Griffith the number of students who have been up to see the pictures is very small, and the department hardly feels repaid for the trouble and expense involved in bringing the etchings here. They will be sent back to Chicago Friday.
Professor Griffith said this afternoon, "Among the pictures are many fine works of art, including many scenes and portraits. The pictures are all done by experts in their line, and the shading and coloring, as well as the general execution of outline, are excellent."
Some time in the near future an exhibit of copies of original pictures done by a color photography process, will be opened in the Administration building. Professor Griffith has a number of these pictures in condition now, and is framing and putting in order the rest of the exhibit. He is also making measurements by the Ameri- ceric Art club. The pictures exhibited by this club are some thirty in number, and are all prize pictures. Each picture represents the prize work of art for a given year.
The lecture on the Processes of Etchings, announced by Professor Griffith for Wednesday was attended by four persons.

THE SPIRIT AT K. U.
CAPT. "BILL" WEIDLEIN Star Lineman Who Played His Uusual Good Game Against Oklama.
Before I came to Lawrence I heard much of the "Kansas Spirit," the football rallies, and the great interest the students showed toward their athletics teams. I have discovered the "Thundering Thousand" nothing more than a hundred rooters who attend the football and give the famous old "Rock Chalk" in a weak, spissified manner. There have been few rallies, and little or no excitement, even at the pajama parade, and, so far as I have been able to find out, the fierce flame of athletic enthusiasm burns very low. Of course, the students know they are very stars, and we care enough to give them the support and encouragement which football men deserve.

the interest in class politics was even weaker than that in athletics. The election impressed me as a very tame affair. Only a few of the students seemed to be more militant, and now to vote. Little interest was taken at the polls and only a bare majority of the class members cast their ballots.
is presented here in the second n opposition to the one we published K, U.)
The "Kansas Spirit" does not live up to its reputation. All over the state K. U. students are reputed to be loyal to the school and enthusiastic in their support of it. At least my first month at the University, I have found a spirit of indifference instead of one of interest and loyalty.
and not until after the first touchdown did the students wake up and show a little of the "Kansas Spirit." The game was a hard one, one, and the Varsity was wearing the mind. Placing it with the mind was hard and disagreeable work, and the team needed praise and encouragement, but it got very little. Most of the students went away from the game disappointed because Kane was too ruthless to care. They seemed to expect victory without voting or Working for it.

October broke but one weather record and in every other way was a very common month. There was less wind this month than any previous October recorded, the total being 7049 miles. The rainfall was much more and a average October had a total of 5.76 inches exceeded the month which has been exceeded but four times in the history of this station.
The first snow fell on the 18th with traces on the 26th and 28th. There were seven totally clear days and but one cloudy. A very slight earth tremor was recorded by the seismograph on the 14th. The disturbance lasted about twenty-five minutes.
