UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TO SPECIALIZE ON PASSES AND SHIFTS
Coaches Begin to Work Along New Lines; Secret Practice Today
Last Saturday concluded what might be termed the end of the soft contests for the majority of the larger teams. From now on the big teams will be going up against harder propositions and more perfect systems of play must be developed in order to win. It is evident that the forward pass which up to this time has held little prominence in the minor fraces will not be overlooked by the coaches as an additional help to their scoring machines. With no limit to the length of the flip and the privilege of throwing over the goal line the forward pass will be a help to even the heavier teams, as was demonstrated in the St. Marys contest.
One thing is evident that no form of this method will be left uninvestigated by Coach Mosse who is too wiley to let this point of the game escape his attention and it is probable that the end of the season will find Kansas playing a mixed style of play.
Team Given Light Practice.
Coaches Mosse and Frank allowed the Jayhawker gladiators a slight rest in their season's toil by easing up in yesterday's practice. No scrimmage was staged and the rival candidates for the teams of Bond and Mosse spent the afternoon in learning new plays for their next meeting. Nearly the whole afternoon was spent by the varsity in developing several new shifts and forward pass formations. As a whole the varsity showed up well in this style of game, all the passes being safe and well handled.
Coach Arthur S. Mosse announced this afternoon that he will open the gates of McCook field at four o'clock on Wednesday afternoons to students during the freshman-Varsity scrimmage.
It is probable that many of this year's plays will closely resemble those of the 1911 Minnesota team. Several of last night's shift plays, which were explained by the dark haired coach from Williamson's camp, bore a close resemblance to the famous Minnesota shift plays.
At all other times the field will be closed and secret practice will prevail.

VICTORY TO HEAVIES
Meat and Muscle Decide Saturday's Affairs in Foot Ball Circles
Going over the calender of the gridiron mix-ups last Saturday the dope shows that as usual the heavier teams, especially in the Valley, were victorious over their lighter opponents. This seems so far to have proven out under the new rules and does not seem as such as it did weeks ago when all plays were straight line bucks, it looks this season that the heavier sounds will have the advantage.
The Aggies through their superior weight were able to beat the lighter Haskell team and though the score was close the Farmer's played in their opponent's territory most of the time. Minnesota did not upset the dope sheet by defeating Ames for during the last week Coach Williams had improved his squad a hundred percent. However the score against the Iowaans as large as students and Coach were hoping to be involved, probably could be brought to the great fight the Iowa Aggies put up. Coach Williams will have to strengthen his squid if he expects to return victor in the Cornhusker contest.
Missouri romped on their Freshman recruits, the feature being the handling of the team by McWilliams. In the Cornhushker camp the Bellewes were shoved back by the husky Nebraskans for 61 tallies.
MAKES ITS APPEARANCE At an open caucus last night at Myers hall a second freshman political ticket was put in the field. The ticket is as follows: president, Robert G. Lindsay, College; vice-president, Fred E. Whitten, College; secretary, Ethal Keeler, College; treasurer, Wilson Berkley, engineer.
The Western teams scored heavier than most of the majority of the Eastern aggregations which was probably due to the different methods of coaching. Judging from Saturday meles it looks like either Ames or Kansas or Nebraska as Champions in the Missouri Valley Harvard, Yale or Princeton the East.

Kansas Rooters Save One Dollar on This Year's
Trip
Are you planning to accompany the team to the Cornhuskers camp? If you are you can figure exactly eighty cents lower than ever before. The round trip price to Lincoln has been announced as only $7.50 in comparison to the $8.30 formerly charged the enthusiastic rooters who accompanied their team on the trip to the northern camp.
Raymond's Drug Store 831 Massachusetts
Figuring on this basis over a thousand rooters should be able to take the journey to see this big affair in football circles. If anything is needed to help the Mose machine in this deadly conflict it will be this additional force of rooters.
Dolde is figuring on having all the Thundering Thousand present if possible and a special train may be run for their accommodation.

Everybody Out for Big Meet Good Chance for Dark Horses
Things are beginning to hum on the cinder-circuit at McCook field. Every night see a squad of thinly clad athletes burning up the track in preparation for the big school meet of October 19th.
Manager Hamilton is especially anxious that a large number of freshmen shall enter this meet in order to give him a line on next year's track prospects. At present but, when men need it, freshmen want at least twenty-five more to get out for the big fall affair in track circles.
Men reporting this fall will have an opportunity to get some valuable training as Coach Hamilton is free to give every man his attention.
- * * * * * * * * * *
- The meet of October 19 is strictly an inter-school affair and every man will have an equal chance to cop one of the big trophy cups. On account of the scarcity of varosity entries things will be even more bright for the dark horses to break into the light light.
- PUNTS FROM OTHER FIELDS
From Cornell comes the first story of 1912 football herodism. P. A. Franklin had his shoulder broken in the scrimmage with Colgate last Saturday, but remained silent in game until he was victorious by a game mate. He was taken from the game crying to be allowed to play.
Illinois is specializing on drop kickers this season.
Northwestern and Yale have already inaugurated secret practice into their daily work.
That Minnesota is not going to be caught asleep if she did she lose thefirst game of the season to South Dakota is apparent from the dope that is coming from the football camp. Assist coaches have Harris, McGovern, have already begun scouting work. Last Saturday McGovern watched Chicago and Harris had his eye on Coach Steihem's men at Nebraska.
Scrimmage Notes
Only twenty-five students watched the practice at McCook field last night Probably they did not know that if was the last time this week that they could see the Jayhawkers in action.
IT WAS ATHLETICS THAT CAUGHT MOSSE
Coach Frank thinks that Nebraska doesn't know anything about football. Well let's hope that his opinion holds good.
Assistant Coach Leonard Frank is not the only peppery instructor. Last night Coach Moss did a sprint with the Varsity and came out in the lead at the finish.
The first tryout for membership to the Thespian Dramatic club will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, night in room 116 Fraser at 7:15. All sophomores, juniors and seniors should attend this tryout meeting. Manuscript may be brought to the tryout or one will be furnished on request.
Football
Kansas Mentor Came to K. U in 1897 to Try Football
It was the Jayhawkier athletics that attracted Coach Arthur St. Leger Mosse to the halls on Mt. Oread. In 1896 the University track team went two Kansas City to compete with the Y. M. C. A.队 of that place and the Kansas mentor defended the University boys in the shot put. This started Mosse and the following year he came to K. U.
"After this meet in which I opposed the University Prof. Wm. E. Higgins, who then had charge of the Kansas athletes invited me to come to the University the next fall to become initiated into the game of football. I came and played on the Varsity for three years.
"The first game in which I took part was against the State Normals. Our field had been plowed and harrowed that fall. Rain fell during the whole game so you can imagine the condition of the field. Incidentally, Prof. F, W. Bushong was my personal opponent.
"In 1896 the team had training quarters in old North College which is now occupied by the School of Music of the University. The building wa snot used for school purposes. There were only about 1100 students and the buildings were not then crowded. All the students ate food in the building, a fact which brought about a great feeling of harmony.
"At the games there was only a handful of rooters compared to the number that now attend the contests. There was no organized cheering. A cheer leader was an unknown quantity.
"After a victory we celebrated much as you do now. However, then the sidewalks of Lawrence were wooden and it was an easy matter to find material for bonfires."
"The Freshman Ticket"
The candidates of this ticket are not in way affiliated with any fraternity (absolutely) and were nominated in an Open Caucus composed of strictly Freshmen and backed by non presided over by no upper-classman. By supporting the following candidates, you vote for Freshmen well qualified for the position and who will conduct the administration of class fairly and effectively in a representative manner; Pres. Robert G. Lindsay, Collage, Kansas City, Kansas; V. Pres., Fred Whitner, College, Wellington, Kansas; See, Ethel Keeler, College, Lawrence, Kansas, Tres., Wilson Berkley, Engineer, Kansas City, Mo.
TIGERS WANT JONES
Missourians Will Put Up Fight to Keep Popular Track Coach
Students at the University of Missouri are planning to make a strong fight against relinquishing their hold on Coach T. E. Jones, who has been called to the University of Wisconsin. At the first meeting of the regents of the latter school Mr. Jones was appointed instructor in physical education and coach of the track team.
T. E. Jones is the most popular track coach Missouri has had. It was Jones who turned out the little band of sterling athletes who stole into Minneapolis two years ago and won a Western conference championship. That feat made Jones another Bill Roper at Columbia. Jones has assisted Athletic Director Brewer in the training and coaching of the football team and his place undoubtedly will be hard to fill.

German Verein Elettes Officers.

The officers, elected for this year, are: president, A. C. Ross; vice-president, Miss Anna Bechtold; secretary, Miss Malleis.
Candidates wishing to try out for either freshman or varsity basket-ball teams will report at seven o'clock tonight in Robinson gymnasium.
