MOSSE WAS PLEASED WITH VARSITY PLAY
Showing Made Saturday Brought Forth Results of Hard Work
LARGEST SCORE ON M'COOK
62 to 0 Beat Other Records—Quigley's Men Deserve Credit For Spirit During Game.
"The team showed up good. I feel satisfied with the manner in which the men played their game." With these words Coach Mosse put his stamp of approval on the first appearance of the 1912 Jayhawker aggregation of mole skinners on McCook field Saturday afternoon after they had defeated the St. Marys eleven 62 to 0. This is the largest score that has ever been run up on McCook. The next largest was in the Kansas-Iowa game in 1897 when the score was 56 to 0 in favor of the Jayhawkers.
The weather was not ideal football weather. It was too hot and a strong south-west wind made the judging of punts difficult. The men, however, were on their mettle and anxious to show their thousand and more supporters in the bleachers a perfectly good sample of real play. Neither did Coach Quigley misrepresent facts when he warned the Jayhawkers of bringing down the gamest bunch off fighters in Kansas. The spirit shown by his men made them eleven. They played a fair game and were as much on their toes with the score 62 points ahead of them as they were at the beginning of the contest. The Catholics were simply outclassed from the start and though they put up a strong heady game were unable to score through the line of the husky Jayhawkers.
All Subs Used.
Coach Mosse gave most of his men a chance to get into the game and changes in both the line and back field were frequent. Magill and Price took turns in piloting the team down the field and though "Maggie" seemed to handle the squad with a little more facility than Billy, the speedy end of last year's squad showed up well and will be used to great advantage in many of the season's contests. Partiality could hardly be shown to any one member of the team, as each man played his hardest and filled well the position which he occupied. Coolidge was doing great work when he was taken from the game on account of his bad ankle. Householder replaced him for the remainder of the game. Miller and Rambo filled the position of full in a way that would please any football coach, while Detwiler and Martin played consecutively at right half. Nearly every position in the line was changed several times. Weidemann was out of the game on account of the death of his aunt.
The squad will do well if it improves with the advance of the season in comparison to their work at the present time. While the game Saturday could hardly be called more than a practice game, next week will see a harder proposition for the Jayhawkers to buck. "Fog" Allen, coach of the Warrensburg Normals, has never been known to fail in turning out a winning team and the one slogan of his men is that of all the Jayhawker opponents, "Beat Kansas."
Team Goes For Walk.
Yesterday afternoon Coach Mosse took his men out for a jaunt across country. They hit west past the gymnasium and circled around north for a distance of over two miles. Most of the men were stiff after the mix-up of the day before and the walked helped to loosen up creaky joints. Fruit is not on the taboo list in baseball, but witching orchards of apples and pears yielded plentifully to the foraging football artists.
Hard work and lots of sleep will be the main part of the program for the coming week. Coach Bond expects to have his tyros in shape to give the Varsity some stiff work-outs and McCook field should not lack in interest during the next six days.
Cool weather means that Soxman's home-made chili, the best ever made, will be in demand. Try it yourself.— Adv.

NOTES OF THE GAME
We wonder what "Red" would have said if Kansas had lost?
After the game Coach Frank expressed his opinion that the score should have been at least above the 100 mark. Can it be that the pepper gentleman from Minnesota has made a mistake? Abba Depot guessing contest? Coach Frank guessed 623 for the seasons score.
The band sure pulled a neat one in their little parody on "Everybody's Do'in It."
Those Catholics were certainly game. Not one of them slowed up even when the fight was hopelessly lost.
Mahoney and Collins, members of the St. Marys ball team, were here for Saturday afternoon's little affair. Both of them kept up a running fire of back talk with the Kansas band.
Hats off to the "Thundering Thousand." The rooters were certainly on the spot with the noise.
Kansas showed knowledge of both styles of play in the opening contest. One of the Kansas touchdowns was made on a flip over the goal line to Weidline.
Miller lead in the scoring. The heavy hitting fully back made three touchdowns and passed the ball to Weidline for another.
"The Kansas bunch a lively one," is the heading of an article taken from a letter by C. M. White of San Diego, Cal., describing the federation of state societies at Coronado recently. Mr. White is president of the organization, and he delivered a speech at the banquet that was held by the federation.

Crane, the Chicago millionaire, self-made and exultant because of it, had something to right on his side when he denounced college life for boys. There are too many students who are idle, smobbish, vicious, profligate of the clock as well as money; boys who spend more time on the cinder path than of learning; rounders who run down to big cities and are caught by the claws of the lobsters they feed to chorus girls.
But there is another class, grown almost to a small army, of young fellows whose quest of learning dignifies it and them. They are the boys who, lacking money, buy their education with themselves; with their parents or with teachers; with their vacations muscularly that their school hours may be given to brain.
They are met and heard of everywhere in the hot days when the favorites of fortune loaf and enjoy their souls. They work whenever work is to be bad and have no false scrups about the nature of it. They lift it up by doing it. They are farmhands and roustabouts on steamers; they enter mills or sit at desks or stand behind counters. They do all things that are honest and they live honestly. In one way the world is in their college; the college of men and deeds, and, so when they get back to the college of thought and books, they are all the better equipped for it.
The learning that these boys get betterts them and the world at large. They take it with them and keep it, increasing their store all the time they live. They pass it on to the outside world; sometimes directly as by teaching; oftener just throughperformance; sometimes in a pulse which a cultured man has on those he rubs shoulders with or even touches in passing.
Such boys are now flocking back to the colleges and the colleges are the better for them, just as the world will be better when they get into the current of its daily life. They make good men and good citizens. If all college life were *of* their making, there would be no criticism of it; only praise and thanksgiving—Topena State Journal.
WISDOM OF CANDIDATES
In one of the humorous satirical features to be found in the October "Century," the "President of the Jacksonville, Detroit and Seattle Railway" is represented as writing to a candidate of less experience in the following vein.
"In making your speeches, be as hopeful and cheerful in your language and in the expression of your countenance as you possibly can. The world does not like to see a gloomy man on the platform or to hear him speak of his grievances or to utter any personal complaints; besides, you want to give the impression that you think you are sure to win. Confidence begets confidence. Throw plenty of pathos into your tones when you speak of the present condition of the poor in your district and of the high cost of living, but brighten up as you dwell on the enormous improvement to be caused by the moral uplift in politics. After you have destroyed this letter, which I expect you to do as soon as you have read it, emphasize the fact that you will enter office with no pledges or promises to any person, taking care to leave the impression that your opponent is heavily mortgaged to corporations.—Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.

Greatest Authority on Football Comments on Advantages of New Plays
Mr. Camp does not think that weight will be of so great importance under the new system of play as most people suppose. He says that a quick running game with many shifts to draw out the defense will enable a light, experienced team to overcome a heavy team which resorts to old-fashioned football. He lays emphasis on the skill and ward passes. A short outline of the New Rules and Mr. Camp's explanation of them follows:
"Summing up in the briefest possible way the changes include the addition of an extra down in which to gain the ten yards; the shortening of the playing field, and the addition of a 10-yard zone behind each goal-line in which a man may receive a forward-pass; the elimination of the on-side kick altogether; the removal of the twenty-yard neutral zone, and also the removal of the twenty-yard restriction on the forward pass; the limiting of kick-out to the 20-yard line instead of the two-five footed line by one point, making it 6 inches by one point; the shortening of the intermission between the first and second, and third and fourth periods to one minute; and the reduction of the number of men allowed to walk up and down the side lines from three to one.
"The effect of the alterations while somewhat problematic will undoubtedly be an increase in the value of the running game. This comes about from several causes; first, the addition of the extra down, which renders the necessary gain on each attempt nearly a yard less, and the increase in the value of a touchdown, which makes it impossible for two field goals to do more than tie a touchdown, and if a goal be kicked from the touchdown, the value of the score is 7 as against 6 for two field goals. On the other hand, the former is valuable in two ways, first, by removal of the restriction as to distance, thus enabling long forward passes to be executed under the rules, and secondly the addition of the 10-yard zone at each end of the field, so that a forward pass which formerly became a touchback on crossing the goal line may still be recovered on the fly by the defender's side and thus result in a legitimate touchdown. The effect of making the 20-yard line the limit of kick-out instead of the 25-yard line is also an additional favor to the running game, because most teams found that under the old rules, if they did not succeed in scoring when they got up to perhaps the 15-yard line of the opponents' game, they would relish all worry, because a kick or a scrimmage from the 25-yard line, followed by a kick, made the defender's goal practically safe at once. Five yards is not a great space, but it does help materially when a team has four downs in which to make the ten yards.
"If a team allows its opponents to realize that the attack is concentrated, and that the plays must all start from a comparatively small radius behind the line, those opponents will close up and render such a form of attack extremely onerous and exhausting. The most effective forward passes in the past have been those that were rendered deceptive by a possible end run, while the most effective end runs have been those where the possibility of a forward pass from such a "fake" end run forces the defensive backs to keep their position well back of the line. Then they can not support the line when short gains are attempted. Under the new rules this combination should prove still more useful. The four downs will also give a team with variety in its attack a far greater opportunity to make use of that variety."

THE CAREFUL OBSERVER
A THE CAREFUL OBSERVER
A dervish was journeying alone in a desert, when two merchants suddenly met him. "You have lost a camel," said he to the merchants—"Indeed we have." they replied.
"Was he not blind in his right eye, and lame in his left leg" said the dervish. "He was," replied the merchants. "And was he not loaded with honey on one side and wheat on the other?" Most certainly he was," they replied; "and as you have seen him so lately, and marked him so particularly, you can, in all probability, conduct us to him."
"I my friends," said the dervish, "I have never seen your camel, nor ever heard of him but from you!" "A pretty story truly," said the merchants; "but where are the jewels which formed a part of his burden?" "I have seen neither your camel nor your jewels," repeated the dervish.
On this, they seized his person, and forthwith hurried him before the cad; but on the strictest search, nothing could be found upon him, nor would he whatever he induced to convict him of falsehood or of theft.
"I knew that I had crossed the track of a camel that had strayed from its owner, because I saw no mark of any human footstep on the same route. I knew that the animal
They were about to proceed against him as a sorcerer, when the dervish, with great calmness, thus addressed the court: "I have been much amused with your surprise, and own that there has been some ground for your suspicions; but I have lived long and alone, and I can find ample scope for observation even in a desert.
was blind of one eye, because it had cropped the herbage only on one side of the path; and that it was lame in one leg from the faint impression which that particular foot had produced in the sand.
"I concluded that the animal had one tooth, because, wherever it had grazed, a small tuft of herbage had been left uninjured in the center of its bite. As to that which formed the bite, beast, the busy ants informed me that the animal one side and the clustering flies, that it was honey on the other.—Colton.
