JAYHAWKER CANDIDATES
HAVE NO OPPOSITION
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 20, 1913.
Although tomorrow is the last day candidates may file petitions with the Student Council for Thursday's Jayhawker election, only two men have so far announced their intention of running. Russel Clark is out for editor, and Guy VonSchriltz for manager.
There was some talk of an opposition ticket this morning but no one could be found who had decided to run. Alfred Waddel, the editor elected last spring who resigned recently, is ill at his home in Ottawa. There was some talk of his entering the race again, regardless of the fact that he made the statement before leaving that he would not run.
"REFORM IN LAW IS CHAPEL SUBJECT
Judge Park, Recommended by "Uncle Jimmy," Will Give Ideas
Judge John G. Park, of Kansas City will speak in chapel tomorrow. His subject is, "Some Needed Reforms in Law." Judge Park was City Counsellor of Kansas City for a number of years, and is an ex-judge of the district of Jackson county.
Regarding Judge Park, Uncle Jimmy Green said this morning, "I have known Judge Park for several years. He is a very able lawyer and a fine speaker. He has made an exhaustive study of law reform and the issues he presented to speak on that subject. I hope all the students who can will hear him on this subject, as it is one of the live topics of the day."
THESE KANSAS STARS

"ROCKCRUSHER" AMMONS

school and all played a good game ast week.
"PETE" HEIL
"Pete" Heil was the Kansas quarterback two years ago and won the Aggie game with a 60-yard run to a touchdown. Earl Ammons was captain on the same team and will be long remembered in the valley for his terrific line plunges. Cowell was a star line man and later played at Illinois.
BOARD GETS $5,000 BUT CAN'T USE
Pres. Hackney Asks How To Dispose of Robinson Estate
The Board has written Attorney General John S. Dawson and no disposition will be made of the money before an opinion is received. Dean Green of the School of Law has also been asked to give a decision on the matter. The actual cash involved in addition to the land is close to five thousand dollars.
Now that the University has come in possession of the Robinson estate, 'the Board of Administration is at a loss to know what disposition can be made of the money coming in as rent and the cash received from the sale of some of the real estate. The question seems to be whether the money can be improved with the help of directly applied to the University or whether the money must go through Toneka.

PROF, SOL, H. LEWIS NOW
HEADS SIGMA DELTA CHI
Prof. Sol. H. Lewis, instructor in the department of journalism at the University has assumed the presidency of Sigma Delta Chi, the national journalistic honorary fraternity. Mr. Lewis, being vice president, came into the office through the line of succession, owing to the death of Chester Wells, its former president.
Notes of The Game
The spectators were furnished a little armourment between the halves, by the spectacle of a freshman being tossed in a blanket. This man lacked his diminutive head gear, but took his punishment very gracefully. He was one of the McLoughlin twins of Kansas City, but nobody knows which one.
An amusing incident occurred in the first quarter, when Reber, the Kansas left end, after recovering Slavon's blocked punt, picked up the sphere, turned around, and started sprinting towards his own goal. It was only by the horrified shout on the part of the spectators that the end realized his mistake, and he quickly righted himself, and got away anew down the field.
Jim Masker, the man who was announced Friday as the probable referee of the game, was unable to fulfill his engagement, and Capt. King was shifted to referee, and "Heavy" Graham, Ex-Michigan star, secured for umpire. The shift was satisfactory. In fact, shifts usually are successful on McCook.
Griffith, the Drake mentor, is noted for his ideals of sportsmanship. W. S. Lansdon, former manager of Jayhawker athletics, called Griffith, "as clean a sportman as there is in the Missouri Valley," and both Coach Mosse and Leonard Frand heartily agree with Lansdon's statement.
Another Jayhawkier touchdown was narrowly averted by the Bulldogs when Reber, the Kansas end, let a forward pass slip through his fingers when he was behind the goal posts. This error on the part of the big line man might have been unfortunate, had the Jayhawkers not had a big lead.
Edward T. Hackney, president of the Board of Administration, witnessed the game, and announced himself as well pleased with the contest and its results. Mr. Hackney, like Governor Hodges, is an ardent football rooter, and has followed the fortunes of Welldin's men through every game thus far on the schedule.
Schamberl, the big guard who played the first two quarters of the game for the Iowa team, is a Australian who never saw a football before this fall. He has made rapid progress so far in learning the game, and Coach Griffith hopes to make him one of the star line men of the Missouri Valley Conference next fall. The only trouble which the big foreigner has had to contend with is the problem of getting down low in the line. Standing a trifle over 6 ft. 2 in., in his stocking feet, he cannot get used to the crampest position necessary.
Mrs. C. A. McHenry, mother or the Des Moines half back, accompanied the team down to Lawrence to watch her son's progress on the field. "Mac," as he is called at the Iowa school, is in dangerous physical condition because of an injured leg, and his mother did not want to worry about him during the time the team was away. "I enjoyed the game. Kansas has a fine team," she said, after the final whistle.

DRAKE LOST 11 FEATHERS JAYHAWK PLUMAGE INTACT
Safety, Place Kick and Touchdown Won Second Conference Game For Mosse-Frank Machine
DESERVED A BIGGER SCORE
Kansas Played Rings Around Opponents In Every Quarter But Drake Held When Desperate
Statements of the Coaches.
John Griffith, head coach, Drake University. "The victory is squally when Dr. Drew was outplayed, but not outfought."
Arthur St. Lenger Mosse, head coach, University of Kansas."The team looked very good. It showed much improvement over last week, and will show still more at Manhattan next Saturday."
Leonard Frank, assistant coach,
University of Kansas—"The team is
rounding into form rapidly. The
ends showed great improvement after
a week of hard training, and are
as strong as any spot on the whole
eleven."
In a game that was hard-fought from beginning to end Kansas defeated Drake Saturday, 11 to 0. It was a splendid contact from every viewpoint although it was soon evident after play started, that Kansas would win. The Jayhawkers surpassed their opponents both in offense and defense and almost the entire game was fought on Drake territory.
Drake went into the battle badly handicapped. Simons, their star halfback and captain, had an injured leg, part of the bone having been extracted several weeks ago. McHeary, his companion at right half, had a broken hip bone, bandaged in splints, which kept him on the side lines until late in the last quarter The forward line was outweighed twenty-five pounds to the man.
Kansas Was Confident
Kansas went into the contest with every first-team man in the game, a competent bunch of scrubs on the sidelines anxious for a chance in the fray, and the whole team ready and confident.
The battle turned out as it should have. The better team overcame the weaker one. The heavier men defeater the lighter players, but only after a great fight had been waged and won—and lost.
Team Seems Well Rounded.
Team Seems Well Rounded.
There were faults in the Jay hawker's work Saturday. Better generalship could have been used in the first half, more speed could have been shown on the trick plays, more fight could have been displayed in the first quarter. But the team as a whole, every man included, played good ball. The line was speedy and sure, the backfield was fast t and trickey. Reber made a splendid run on Simon's blocked punt, Wilson scored a pretty touchdown by a wonderful leap for a ball that seemed yards beyond his reach. Sommers evaded a sure tackle by a pretty leaf over the entire Drake line, Green lees made gain after gain. In fact every man starred.
The Bulldogs, too, fought splendidly. Holding the charging Jayhawkers for four downs on the one yard line, the Drake defense made history on McCook field. Smashing through the line time and again, Hewitt, their teammate, practically gained a place on the all-Conference eleven. Dragging one foot on the ground on every play, Simons, their plucky captain, made a name for himself as the gamed athlete seen here this season.
