UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CONTESTS START IN CLASS SERIES
Dope Favors Strong Freshmen Squad-Sophomores Look Like Dark Horses
The inter-class football series began this afternoon with the freshmen playing the sophomores, while the juniors struggle against the seniors tomorrow. A large crowd was present, and unusual interest was shown by the students.
The freshmen start the series with quite an advantage over the rest of the teams, because most of them have been playing football all season. However, the sophomores and juniors loom up as worthy opponents for the wiley freshmen, as there are some players on both of the teams. The freshmen look so strong as the rest of the teams, and the dope is altogether against them.
Price and Wilson, coaching the seniors, have had a hard time to get enough men out for one team, and the men have had no scrimmage at all. Weidlin is all smiles about the junior team and expects to make a cleanup. The sophomores look as if they might spring a surprise on the freshmen. There has been quite a little spying on the part of all the teams, but the freshmen have had their eyes on the practice of the second year men all week. Occasionally a freshman would stay around and try to watch the sophs practice some of the pet plays, but the substitutes would look cross-eyed at the unwelcome visitor, and he would move on.
No lineup has been announced by any of the coaches, but every man who is out in a uniform will probably be given a chance to show the coaches what he can do.
CAMP PICKS TEAM Butler of Wisconsin Only Western Player on All-American Squad
Walter Camp, the head of the athletics at Yale, has picked his All-American football team.
The team this year presents an unusually strong lineup. The picking of an "All" team is a hard matter, and some people on the second team are as good as those on the first team, but someone must be placed on the first team, and in this matter Mr. Camp has used his own judgement.
The team as picked by Mr. Camp is
It seems as if Mr. Camp has picked the strongest line-up possible from all the college teams. He gives three Harvard men places on his first team, while Yale, the runners-up, gives two places, Butler, of Wisconsin, is the only western man to get a place on the team. He is given a tackle position.
as follows:
- End-Felton, Harvard;
- Tackle-Englehorn, Dartmouth;

Museum Gets Valuable Specimens
A collection of rare specimens gathered last summer by Professor W. R. B. Robertson, of the department of biology of the University in the Bermudas and Jamaica, arrived last week, and were placed in the store room of Snow Hall preparatory to being placed in the display room.
The collection contains many fine specimens of AmpHIxus, snails, and periputus, besides many other exceedingly rare specimens. In all there are 150 specimens in the collection. The collection is a very valuable addition to the biological museum.
Harvard Asks For Outlines.
The Harvard Natural History Society sent a request to the department of Zoology of the University, last week, asking for an outline of the course in field Zoology, which is given here. Harvard is about to establish a course in zoology, and is being taken from all schools which are giving it, as to the amount of time which should be given to it, the nature of the work, etc.
Prof. Edward Baumgartener, of the department of Biology, has answered the letter and had given various suggestions.
A. H. Sluss, assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering, is at present directing the resetting of one of the boilers at the power-plant. This is the first time this boiler has beenreset since its installation in 1908.

FRESHMEN TO HOLD FOOTBALL GAMES ARE INTER-SCHOOL SERIES NOW VERY LADY LIKE
Coach Frank Divides Sqn According To School Ranking for Series
"Freshmen trying out for the Freshmen basket ball team will be given a fair chance to show their ability this year," is the statement of Coach Frank, head mentor of that aggregation. This season, instead of picking a regular squad after a few weeks practice, the coach will give every man a chance to play at least a month on one of the teams.
The candidates trying out will be divided into College, Pharmies, Law, and Engineer aggregations, and a series of games will be played between the different schools. This series will determine which colleges it is essential that the various players should get out the remaining nights before the vacation and limber up.
To the winners of this series a silver loving cup will be presented. It is the intention of the management to make an annual affair. The regular Freshmen team will then be picked from these teams at the conclusion of the series, and will play a series of games with the College team.
WANT AD BRINGS BACK
WANDERING MACKINAW
Some people are born wise, others achieve wisdom in various ways, and one stude had the foresight to insert the following want ad in Friday's Kansan:
"Person who took red and black mackinaw from cloakroom of engineering building is known. Return by Monday and save trouble."
Precisely at 5:18 Saturday morning, the cook at the Alpha Tau Omega house opened the back door to—well she forgot exactly what she did open it for, after she bled that heap of back reposing calmly on the rear stoop.
It is still a mystery how the person who acted after reading that ad managed to insert the words “to the Alpha Tau Omega house” in it, which stern economy had forced the writer, tomit. There's a moral.
FOOTBALL POSTERS TO BE DISTRIBUTED FREE
The pictures will be given to the students and faculty. The supply is very limited.

Old Time Players makes Game Less Interesting Say New Style
Many of the old players who won their football glory in the time when mass plays and brute strength were the predominant factors in winning a game, have been wont to criticize new style of play. In this they have made the charge that the new game does away with a good bit of the real interest, the majority of football players are well satisfied with the new charges.
It is noticeable in this connection, that there was not one death due to college football during the past season. This marks an epoch in football that should decrease some of the newspaper articles; the great college game has received.
This is due not only to the new rules, but also to the superior playing of the contestants of the present season's eleven. Most of the big games were free from injury. Such games as the Missouri-Kansas, Harvard-Yale, Chicago-Minnesota, Harvard-Princeton, Carlsbad-Pennsylvania, and Army-Navy game were played in most the most casual conditions. But few players were taken out, and their removal was due either to poor playing or in order to receive a rest.
The Kansas-Missouri game furnished one of the best examples of the season. Time was only taken out twice during the whole contest, and not one player was removed on account of lack of condition or indifferent playing.
