A BUNCH OF STARS THESE K. U. COACHES
Mosse, Frank, McCarty and Bond a Quartette Hard to Beat
MOSSE IS A PROFESSIONAL
Head Coach Played With the Bj
Ones Back in '80's—Frank Won
Three Ms.
"But he got so crazy over that one style of play," continued the Kansas coach, "that after all the other schools had learned the style of play he went through two unsuccessful seasons without changing it and Pennsylvania found it necessary to let him go.
"Cowan weighed about 200 pounds, was a rough player and taught the Varsity all the brutal tactics he could. In 1897 Wiley Woodruff came from the University of Pennsylvania to play as his brother, George Woodruff, is famous in football circles as the inventor of a new style of play by which Pennsylvania was able to beat all the eastern schools for four years.
The Kansas football mentors this year have careers varied enough to fill a good sized history. Mosse has been both a player and coach. Frank has shown himself to be an all around athlete, McCarty played two different positions at Ohio State, and Bond has given the Crimson and Blue all his services.
"When I first came to school in '96, "said Coach Mosse, yesterday, "Hector Cowan was coaching the K. U. team. He had started his work here in 1894 after being picked as the first all-American tackle in '93.
"Wiley and his brother had a combination that it took four years to be thought. Woodruff coached here in 1897 and '98. He left here the last year that I played on the Varisty."
Mosse played three years at right guard on the K. U. team and after the season here went along with others to Arkansas City where he played on a town team for four years. While the K. U. players worked on this team it did not lost a game in four years.
Three Years at Guard.
Besides being a coach at Kansas Mosse has taught the gridironers of Warrenburg, Missouri, 1899, '00, and in 1902. He coached Pittsburgh University team the following three years and in 1906 pointed the Jayhawk freshmen and helped out with the Varsity. The tyros had a regular schedule at that time and Mosse's job was next to head coach. In 1907 he did not return to K. U., but came back to help Bert Kennedy with his ever-victorious team in '08. He also助了 in 1909 and '10. This year makes the coach's fifth year as a Kansas mentor.
"We had no regular coach," explained the Jayhawk football teacher, "but every man coached himself, David Fultz, who coached Missouri in 1898, was captain when I played. He later managed the New York American League baseball team."
After his school experience with the game Mosse joined a professional team, which was run by the United Steel corporation and played games in Homestead, Pa. This team was composed of stars.
Assistant Coach Frank Leonard Frank, Mosse's assistant, is an all around athlete and has been coached in all fields of sport. When he was fourteen years old he was taught to put the shot and from that time until now he has followed the athletic game.
Assistant Coach Frank
"My first experience with athletics came at the St. Paul Y. M. C. A where I learned to put the twelve pound shot thirty feet," said Frank
In the St. Paul high school the former Minnesota star received his first training in track, basketball, football and baseball. In one of the track meets there he broke the interscholastic record for the shot put with a heave of fifty feet. He was only sixteen years old at the time
NUMBER 2^2
From St. Paul high school he went to the University of Minnesota where he immediately starred in all forms of sport and especially in foot-

CAN'T SEE KANSAS AT NORTHERN CAMP
Drake Dopesters Confiden That Their Team Will Top Contest
When Kansas clashes with Drake next Saturday she will meet the hardest propositions yet faced this season. Drake is not out of the Missouri Valley Championship by a long shot and if confidence is what needed Kansas will finish a distant second. The team in charge of the team winning that the main topic at the northern camp is in record to the size of the score.
On the other hand the contingent from McCook field will have the advantage of more efficient coaching. However, unless the Kansas backs can play them well, they will stand for the Kansas G. O. P, machine will stand a small chance of winning;
The Ducks probably will depend on, the forward pass to a large extent as its use has marked the majority of the games thus far. This and the kicking of Simons are their strong points.
The Drake team returned seven "D" men this year and in addition had a large squad of tryouts. The team that faces Kansas Saturday will be the equal of Kansas in regard to weight. Before Kansas has entered this season's fracas with a handicap over the opponents of ten pounds per man. Whether they will display the same aggressiveness toward the Drake aggregation will have much to do with the out come. In addition to this Kansas will be under the handicap of facing one of the best punters in the Missouri Valley. Simon. Simons is back and is doing even better in the kicking line than last year. In last year's contest with the men from the north Delaney had only a trifle the better in the kicking duel. This year the Jayhawkers will have to depend on the offense alone.
EXERCISE NEEDED AS AID TO PROFS
"The point of the hill where the library stands was a stone quarry.
"If you would be an instructor, first take a course in physical culture," this is the advice of Dr. M. L. Johnson, dean of the woman's department of physical education.
"Eighteen buildings now instead of three," he continued, "North College, Fraser, and the Medic building were our only buildings. Now they extend into what we considered the country.
This does not mean that the instructor should necessarily be of the strong-armed pedagogical type so numerous in the backwoods's schools and in the teacher should be one with a healthy body and consequently active mind.
Coming back to Mt. Oread after an absence of twenty-nine years. Percy B. Russel declared that the University has grown many inches since his day.
Mr. Russell was graduated from the University in 1883. He is now the owner of a large plantation on the Mississippi river in Tennessee. Last Saturday as it was becoming a taxicab was driven up Oread avenue. It stopped in front of litter line and people stepped out, the first time he has been on the hill since the day he received his diploma.
"I can hardly believe what I see and what you tell me," said the old timer, reminiscing with Miss Carrie (librarian, and Prof. Wm. E. Higgins).
"The time will soon come that professors and teachers will take a greater interest in athletic activities than the ordinary individual. In fact it will be necessary if they wish to hold their positions."
"No professor who is sickly both in disposition and appearances can possibly be the proficient type of instructor that the man or woman with the healthy constitution is capable of being. Students are largely influenced by the appearances of the teacher and one with a good rosy color has greater weight with the scholars than one with a sickly haunted appearance. This does not mean that they must be of an exceptionally pleasing countenance but merely that an appearance of poise, physical and mental, must be caused by their carriage. The professor with square shoulders, a well developed chest and vim in his delivery will impress the listeners to a greater extent than one who speaks as if ashamed and uncertain of his words. To have these assets in addition to their other abilities there is but one method and that is exercise."
Dr. M. L. Johnson Says Use ful Instructor Should Exercise Regularly
AN OLD-TIMER WANTED TO SEE THE ACADEMY
More than four thousand student have graduated from the University of Kansas.
Saplings covered the spot where Green hall now is. Marvin grove was in its infancy.
"The old wall which ran along the campus on the east is no more. How well I remember when the iron gates which were across the roadway here at the mail box were spirted away one Hallowe'en night and were never found.
"You tell me that the academy no longer exists. During my student days here, the preparatory department of the University had more students enrolled than all the rest of the schools combined. Many of the preparatory classes were taught by our best professors such as Dr. Robert Rollins and Dr. Carruth. In this way the new students came in direct contact with the leading men of the school, men of broad mind and quick sympathy.
"The chapel exercises in which each student was required to take a part at some time during the year are vivid in my memory. The literary societies, Orophilian and Oread, were also a large part of our school life."
QUILLS TO WORK HARD
Historical Society
No Loafers in K. U's Literary Club This Year.
That there will be no "talented loafers" in the Quill club this year, is the ultimatum from the classical magazine that puts out the Oread magazine.
"The means of getting into the Quill club have been changed," said Wm. Burkholder, president of the club, today. "In former years students were recommended to us by members of the faculty on account of promise and talent in writing. But a good many of such members, while good at writing and all that, came in merely for the name of it and remained 'talented loafers' the rest of the time.
“This year, instead of coming in on faculty recommendation after submitting some manuscript for criticism, new members will have to show both talent and active interest in the club. Anyone desiring to en-
tire themselves should move to similar work a
membership committee, but will also
have to show that he is a 'live one',
no matter how good his work may be.”
The Chemical Engineering society held a meeting last night in the chemistry building. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey who has recently returned from an European trip, gave a talk on the experiences of his trip and illustrated the various experiences with lantern views.

SOCCER SATURDAY.
K. U. Team and British Americans to Clash on the McCook Field
The Kansas soccer team will hook up with the strong British-American eleven of Kansas City on McCook field Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The British-American team is composed of the best players in Kansas City and seven of the players have engaged in big soccer games across the ocean. Four of the men have played on the college teams of east and were stars. There is a soccer league in Kansas City composed of five teams and the eleven that plays at Lawrence Saturday will be the best picked team in the entire league.
The student enterprise tickets will be good for this game and a big crowd should come out as there will be no football game on that day.
The battles o'er and now at last, I lay me down to rest; for thirty days I've lived on dope, and vainly have I guess the outcome of each day's report, but—well, the thing is past. From early morn 'till late at night. I've figured up the sheet, and I sure had it all doped out, New York was due to beat; But now alas my hopes are gone, and several sheckels too; for Gardner pushed the little pill far up into the blue.
