UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
THE FIRST FOUR CHANCELLORS HAD TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN
DR. JAMES MARVIN REV. R. W. OLIVER
W. C. SPANGLER
GEN. JOHN FRASER
Of the seven men who have been at the head of the University of Kansas, these four present striking personalities. The Rev. R. W. Oliver with his rugged Scotch geniality, Gen John Fraser, a learned man who had difficulty in handling the faculty, Dr. James Marvin, who ushered in the era of good feeling, and W. C. Spangler, a graduate of the University and member of the board of regents are these.
Chancellor Oliver served from
1866 to 1877 and was without pay the entire time. He played a large part in the founding of the University, raising much of the money for its establishment. His headship was divided with the regents, who had equal authority. He served as general financial agent and presided at the meeting of the regents and faculty. This story is told of him: When Professors Robinson and Snow went to him concerning the opening of the University he advised them to go hire horses and lariats and practice catching prairie chickens. This, he said, would fit them for the task of classifying the students.

Gen. Fraser took up his duties on the resignation of Chancellor Oliver. His administration was filled with trouble and discord with the faculty. He came into office at the time that North College became too tired of the responsibility for the raising of the $100,000 for Fraser hall fell upon his shoulders. He was a successful instructor and business man.
Dr. James Marvin's administration began a year after the close of Gen. Fraser's. He did much to restore the school to a peaceful basis. In spite of reductions in appropriations, the amountments of music and law were established and a large increase made in the number of graduates.
Mr. W. C. Spangler served as head of the University twice but neither time with the title of Chancellor; the first between the administrations of Lippincott and Snow and the last between those of Snow and Dr. Strong. He was a regent at the time of his service.
"We'll sure have to get the Cornhaskers now," said Leonard Frank after reading of the defeat of Minnesota, his Alma Mater, at the hands of Coach Stiehm's eleven. Dope was completely upset by Stiehm's victory over Clyde Williams' aggregation, and the triumph of the Lincoln athletes makes them appear far stronger for the conference championship than they had looked before. A poor pass by Robertson, the Minnesota center, on a quarterback kick spelled defeat for the Minneapolis players.
Under Other Goal Posts
Handicapped by the barring of two of his star backfield on eligibility protests, Benny Owens and his Sooner eleven went down into glorious defeat at the hands of Chuck Wilson's Tiger athletes Saturday afternoon in Columbia. Ambruster, the Oklahoma captain, and Reeds, their star fullback, were kept out of the game by Missouri, and this loss killed the chances of the Norman eleven. The score was 20 to 17, the Oklahomaubs, jackson Guyer, playing in almost as good form as had been expected of the regulars.
KANSAS 3, HASKELL
Soccer Team Wins First Game of the 1913 Season
The Washburn Ichabads humbled the William Jewell Baptists in a 24
Season
The Jayhawker soccer team defeated the Haskell Indians on South field Saturday morning 3 to 1. The Jayhawker booters completely outclassed the Redskins, playing around their backs, and through their lines innumerable times for heavy gains, but, neverless, the game was close and exciting, and well played.
The chief handicap encountered by Coach Venn's pupils was their lack of a thorough knowledge of the game. They were not up on the rules of corner kicking and they did not understand the penalties inflicted upon them for improper passing from the sidelines. About one hundred Aborigines accompanied the team in Haskell, and it seemed to the casual observer that every one got into the game.
"We play football," said the big full back after the game, "and we had to learn to play that. We learn how this game goes too. We beat you guys next week." And he lumbered off in the direction of the government school.
The forward Kansas line worked splendidly on the offensive and defensive, the backfield was almost inpenetrable, and Strachan, at goal, played a game never equalled at this University for its brilliancy, according to Coach Naismith.
Practically all of the regular players, with one exception, took part in the contest. Marks, the fallback, was unable to play Saturday, being laid up by an injury suffered the day before. Bixby, a last year's tyro, took his place, and played excellent ball.
to 0 game at Topkea Saturday, and rounded into true form by their defeat of the Missouri team. The Jewellites were feeling pretty chesty over their showing against Kansas two weeks before, and decisive defeat administered to them at Topkea was the best thing they could have run into this early in the season. Gray's Congregationalists played a sterling quality of football.
Dope was effectively upset, turned over, and even destroyed in the north Saturday, when the Michigan Aggies defeated Michigan State by the score of 12 to 7. It was the first time that the East Lansing athletes had ever defeated Yost's machine, and great joy reigned in the State Capitol yesterday as the result. The Ann Arbor eleven was outplayed and outfought and the result was never in doubt from the beginning of the second half.
In a game, featured by fighting and slugging on the part of both teams, the Ames Aggies defeated Washington University at St. Louis 37 to 7. The game had been looked upon as an easy victory for the Iowa Collegians, but their poor tactics, as reported by the press, had been unexpected. The Drake Bulldogs, at this rate, will be compelled to wear helmets of brass and coats of mail in their annual game with the Iowa Aggies Thanksgiving day.
The Kansas Aggies plowed through the Emporia Normalms Saturday afternoon in a sea of mud, humbling the State Teachers by the score of 33 to 0. The Aggie goal was never in danger, and three times the Normalites held like a stone wall on their own five yard line, thus keeping the Farmers from piling up a higher score. Morgan, the Normal star quarter, grew excited and slugged his way out of the game early in the third quarter, costing the Teachers a fifty yard penalty.
